Simon Cowell is a Real Life Vanity Smurf
Simon Cowell has said if he could only take one thing to a desert island it would be a mirror.
The 'American Idol' judge, who has previously been branded the world's
vainest man, claims his reason for taking the item would be because he would "miss" himself.
Cowell made the surprising comment on British Radio Four show 'Desert Island Discs' - in which celebrities choose their favourite records.
Of the eight tunes he would choose to take if stranded on a desert island, Cowell only chose one recent pop hit, Daniel Bedingfield's 'If You're Not The One'. His other choices were all 50s and 60s ballads, including Bobby Darin's 1959 recoding of 'Mack The Knife'.
When asked what his one luxury item would be, Cowell said: "Easy, a mirror.
It's because I'd miss me."
When the host asked: "Are you going to let us broadcast that?" Cowell
laughed and replied: "I don't care. I'm on my own, no one around, I might as well have a mirror."
Music mogul Cowell has often been ridiculed for his fashion sense, which includes a love of high-waisted trousers and tight t-shirts.
However, the 47-year-old star has repeatedly insisted he isn't vain, saying "People have said I'm vain. I don't think I am, actually. Because I actually don't care."
