Simon Cowell reveals fling with Danii Minogue

Simon Cowell reveals he had a fling with Danii Minogue in a new book. Dannii Minogue was nowhere to be found on Sunday. She was presumably trying to find a very large hole to crawl into, such was her mortification. Rather ignoring the old-fashioned dictum that a gentleman never kisses and tells, her old boss Simon Cowell has come out with an extraordinary account of a fleeting affair between the two. Cowell, who loves nothing more than to polish his image as a ladykiller, has confirmed rumours of a fling in an \"unauthorised\" biography. Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell has been written by respected author Tom Bower. He has not allowed Cowell to read the final manuscript, but during hours of interviews it seems the two men became friends. It is clear Cowell is loving the attention of being presented as the pasha at the head of a talent show TV harem. \"Yikes!\" he tweeted triumphantly after seeing the newspaper headlines proclaiming \"Cowell\'s Affair With Dannii\". Smug barely covers it. Of course, if you are a 52-year-old entertainment titan who has long suffered jibes and speculation about your sexuality, publicity of this sort is catnip. Just recently, the Village Voice in New York ran an article titled: \"Simon Cowell: Gay Or Just British?\" The X Factor judge Louis Walsh has long enjoyed catty observations about Cowell\'s camp demeanour. \"He is camp, he is theatrical,\" says Walsh. \"He tilts his head just like a woman.\" Brace yourself, then, for the heterosexual fightback. Cowell told Bower he fell for Minogue after she joined The X Factor\'s judging panel in 2007. \"It was genuine love,\" he claims. From: Gulfnews
