AMERICAL IDOL and POP IDOL's 'Mr Nasty'
SIMON COWELL got a little of his own treatment
when three of America's top racing drivers
were invited to critique his speed skills
for a recent TV surprise. Cowell was on
the other end of a stinging attack after
taking to the track at race ace MARIO ANDRETTI's
racing school in Las Vegas, as part of an
interview for news show 60 MINUTES. The
Brit got behind the wheel of an IndyCar
for the first time and beat CNN newsman
ANDERSON COOPER, who was interviewing Cowell
for the show. The TV personality was pleased
with himself after the race - until he realised
his driving was about to be judged by Andretti
himself and NASCAR racing stars MICHAEL
WALTRIP and KURT BUSCH. Daytona 500 champion
Waltrip said, "It's just so sad that
a man who wants something as bad as you
do looks like a drunk going to get more
liquor... You're terrible." But Waltrip
couldn't keep up the joke on Cowell, adding,
"Look at your shoes, they're terrible."
