"They think I'm the Anti-Christ. They don't like us TV people to be part of it – it's ridiculous. It reeks of snobbery. I have nothing to do with the Oscars – nor do I want to… I'll only go if someone has invited me. I hate the whole movie industry. It's so stuck up, I can't bear it."
- Simon Cowell on the Academy Awards

lolz, simon cowell saying something is stuck up. XP
first!!!!!!!!!!!!
They don't involve TV people because the Academy Awards are NOT about TV!!! That is what the Golden Globes and Emmy's are for. Idiot!
As always, the man speaks the truth.
just pissed off hes not talented enough to be invited
shame
Simon rulez xD
I think Simon's over blown ego is showing is showing!
2nd?
blah
He speaks the truth
aww poor simon
He is a handsome man. We all love him. I have seen his photo on millionai refriends com". I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for.
second! lol wows well that's simon for ya!
Simon. Is. Awesome. He tells it like it is.
Yeah right. He lives for event like this, where is can show off his beard of a girlfriend. Why don't he just stop trying to fool people and come out of the closet already.
His such a tosser…Does anyone even give a shit what he has to say!
His comments reak of JEALOUSY!
Love the Cowell!
that why i love simon he says it like it is
I don't think he always tells the truth. I see the way how he looks at Paula abdul. Its obvious those two are having sex, i bet he and paula have more sex than he and his girlfriend.
HE cant bear it, WE cant bear it. Hes fugly too. What a piece of shit. No one wants him there anyway, thats why he isnt invited!! Hello!! Or should I say Ello!!
Cowell doesn't know how to dress well enough to attend the Oscars.
A little jealousy rearing it's ugly head, Simon?? You never go to the Grammy's and you're in the music biz, so shut up.
Can we all say "SOUR GRAPES"! Grow up simon! American Idol sucks anyways!!
DAMN he's showing his age. Old man simon.When his he getting married?. He need to get the fuck out of paula abdul's bed and marry his girlfriend.
At least what he says is TRUE! BTW…to those here who commented that the Oscars are not about TV…..well that may be true, but then why do they invite some and not others? Why would Heidi Lum and Seal be invited? WHy would other models, singers and yes, other TV people show up with invitations?? It does sound quite a bit like "selective" (or snobbish) invites.
Ooops! My apologies….no offense intended to Heidi Klum—I was typing to quickly and misspelled her name in my previous (#29). Sorry!!
Simon's right. The film people have always looked down on people in television. Hollywood thespians believe that they are better than the actors and actresses on tv. When tv people leave the small screen they never want to go back to it because they consider it a step down in their career.
Alot of people hate Simon, but i think he is true blue…..and speaks the truth….maybe he should tone it down a little but he is the only one that does not lie and give false hope to the contestants on the idol show…..he tells it like it is and honesty is usally the best policy…..
I love it. I love that he's rich and LOVED, because he speaks the goddamn TRUTH. The movie industry is absolutely elitist against all other entertainment mediums; it's a joke. Most of Hollywood's kids go to the school at which I work, and trust: the movie parents so try to keep their own shameless clique, snubbing everyone else. So stupid. The old money crowd laughs at them and wants nothing to do with them, but the hollywood morons think they are shizzz, when they are embarrassing nouveau riche losers …
GO SIMON!!!
HE LOOKS LIKE MEAT WAD! Lay off the tortellini
Haha loves it! Im sure hes been before, or at least to Eltons oscar party!
Re: PEREZ IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT – ……..WHAT?! What does all of this gibberish have to do with anything here????!!!! If you don't like Perez, don't read his posts or come to his site. How do you think posting your random thoughts (and there are medications for this) is going accomplish your goal (bettering society)??????
Well, the Oscars are for the movies. That said… These award shows are nothing but self congratulatory pats on the back of and for overpaid pompous blowholes!!! Other than a boost for the local economy, they have no merit. It's a shame the strike was settled right before the Oscars!
Pretty petulant attitude coming from an abrasive clown who's claim to fame is a glorified karaoke / gong show that caters to the lowest common denominator by spitting out manufactured vanilla "pop stars". Looks like he's got talent envy.
While Simon is right, that the Oscars are a bunch of crap filled with fake people. And he should know about just how fake it is because the music industry is just as fake. And he should be careful before people start to point out just how fake, scripted and disingenuous American Idol is.
I agree with Simon. Some movie stars do act like they are the rulers of the world when all they have done is play pretend for a living.
I just wanted this to be posted one more time
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
THE PROBLEM WITH YOU PEREZ IS THAT YOU ARE NOT VERY SMART. LUCKILY FOR YOU YOU'RE JUST DUMB ENOUGH TO BE POPULAR WITH THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD READ GOSSIP SITES. NOTHING YOU SAY IS VERY CLEVER OR ORIGINAL. YOU MISSPELL WORDS, HAVE VERY POOR GRAMMAR, AND HAVE A VERY WEAK SENSE OF HUMOR MOSTLY BASED ON SHOCK VALUE. ADMITTEDLY, THIS SITE IS NOT CNN AND MOSTLY JUST FOR FUN, BUT THE PEOPLE HERE DON'T EVEN WATCH ACTUAL NEWS OR READ ANYTHING MEANINGFUL. BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE STYLE IS SO MAINSTREAM AND AVERAGE, YOU APPEAL TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. MOST PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR SITE PROBABLY THINK YOU'RE SHAKESPEARE, CONSIDERING THEY WILL NEVER AGE MENTALLY ABOVE EIGHT YEARS OLD. BECAUSE YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE THE ONES WHO FREQUENT THIS SITE ARE BECOMING THE MAINSTREAM OF AMERICA, OUR SOCIETY IS DUMBING DOWN AS A WHOLE. IF YOU AND YOUR FOLLOWERS WERE LEFT TO RUN THE WORLD THE WEB WOULD BE REDUCED TO YOUR SITE AND MYSPACE, TELEVISION WOULD BE NOTHING BUT MTV AND REALITY SHOWS, THE ONLY BUSINESSES WOULD BE GAY BARS, CLUBS, AND CHILI'S LIKE RESTAURANTS, AND EVERYONE WOULD DRIVE CRAPPY CHEAP TRICKED OUT SUB-COMPACT CARS WITH BUMPER STICKERS THAT SAY "HATERS STEP OFF", OR "GAY PRIDE" BLASTING COUNTRY OR HIP HOP!! UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE ATTENTION OF PEOPLE SO DULL IS TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS!! PEREZ, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST EDIT EACH ENTRY FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR BEFORE YOU POST IT!!
He is so jealous, and desperately wishes you could snag an invitation to the Oscars.
translation
- I'd lick dirty ass to get on the red carpet (pleeeeze let me be next year's emcee)
- I won't go anywhere they don't WORSHIP me
.
time to take your head out of your American Idol ASSHOLE
BITTER!
If anyone out there knows for sure, please correct me, but wasn't Simon at the Oscars last year or the year before? It seems like Simon is just sore because he wasn't invited this year….
I agree. Does anyone care anymore?
Really? You hate it…think it's "stuck up" but if someone handed you an invitation, you'd go? OK. I ususally like Simon, but I wish he were more honest about his obviously transparent anger about not be invited this year.
50th!!! WOO HOO!
Simon, Your a freakin judge on a crappy show.
Why are you wanted or needed at the Oscar's?
After a while of your snotty crap and whining, people say frig him.
.
Feeling snubbed, now you know how you make everyone feel that performs on your crappy show. Exactly why people don't watch it anymore, you!
Karma….
PS- your ugly too!
Re: PEREZ AKA CUMSPONGE SISSYPANTS –
.
A little too much coffee this morning??
Simple Simon, no one likes you.
Mirror check !!!!
When all the kids on the block don't like you, it's not all the kids, it's you.
Go back to England.
I love the Oscars and the film industry.
ISNT THE ONLY WAY U CAN GO IS TO GET INVITED??? HIS COMMENT DOESNT MAKE SENSE?? HE'LL GO BUT ONLY IF HE'S ASKED…HOW THE HELL ELSE WOULD HE GO??

what a hasty little bugger.
How could he call ANYONE stuck up?! It sucks not to be "worshipped" by everyone, eh Simon? Douchebag!
SIMON IS SO HANDSOME AND SMART!
Aren't they snobs? There has ALWAYS been a line between movies, tv and good forbid, soap opera actors. Soap Operas were the work people did if they couldn't get on a regular tv show, or if they were first starting out. People do Broadway to show off their range of acting. actors are questioned if they go from movies to TV! (K. Sutherland, A. Baldwin, C. Sheen). It is considered a step down for alot and they only 'grace' tv to promote their next movie. So, he is not wrong. He probably is looked at like a peeon. Only thing is, he is alot richer than these celebrities.
Well said!!
He is absolutely right!! No one cares about the Oscars do they?? Only what they wear…I'll be anxious to see the ratings for that show. I watched for five minutes…so boring…so self-congratulatory and my, my. They take themselves ever so seriously!
he's just mad because he wasnt invited.
he is awesome and a genius.
sounds like jealousy
HA HA! I love Simon…. snobbery or not!
somebody was'nt invited
With all of the worthless movies being produced and idiot actors running off at the mouth about the war, global warming, and other non issues people just do not care anymore about Hollywood. When Michael Bore gets awards for mockumentories and Al Bore BORES is all with his USELSS movie about global warming NO ONE CARES!
Simon is correct. Hollywood is an egotistic, selfish, grandiose wannabe town. A bunch of filthy rich "communists" who preach equality but don't talk to their mexican maid.- The american people are tired of them and their politics. It shows, just check the lousy Oscar's ratings.- The worst in 20 years.-
as much as i cant stand him, i couldnt agree more
No kidding… and he's pretty stuck up, so I can imagine how much worse the actors are!!
honestly he's soooooooooo right
He is just PISSED that he got no invitation to Elton's party or Madonna's party or fucking hag fur wearing Demi's party (beyotch) or my lord Prince's party. This fucking Simon lives in a mansion up on the hill and has more money than most of them and got NO invitation in the mail! That sucks y'all! He just is mad because he knows he is truly not a part of Hollywood royalty. He's part of the Idol machinery…two very different things so go swim in your fancy pool and fuck off.
Re: StankFinger – Ah, earth to StankFinger? You have the nerve to rag on Perez about not proofing or spelling checking posts? And then you post in all caps like a screaming psychopathic murderer? Why don't you unclick your all caps button and cut your posts in half length wise (they're too fucking long) and then still no one will take you seriously. Ha.
with all the money Simon makes by being mean to people on Idol, the least he can do for himself is to maybe put some silicon in his lips, he has the ugliest thin lips ever.
