Face it, the world isn't fair. You work your ass off asking people if they want fries with that, and you can barely afford the maintenance on your Pinto. But all Simon Cowell has to do is tell some delusional 18-year-old that he sounds like a raccoon stuck in the blades of a manual lawn mower and he gets millions of dollars thrown at him. Make that millions and millions and millions of dollars, if rumors about his contract negotiations are to be believed. Says the New York Post:
EARLY salary figures from Simon Cowell's "American Idol" contract negotiations are leaking out and they're eye-popping.Cowell, who reportedly made $36 million last year for judging the hit competition show, has been offered three or four times that amount — between $100 million and $144 million per year — by co-producers Fox and 19 Entertainment to stick with "Idol" when his contract expires next May, according to The Guardian, a London newpaper.
God, $144 million just to tell people they suck and should stick to stripping or slinging crack or whatever it is that they do when they're not torturing eardrums? If those are the rewards for being a total bitch, we might have to start spreading our hate around here at CelebNewsWire. Although we wouldn't want Paris Hilton and Denise Richards to feel neglected.

He's a bargain at any price.
Wang Dang D. is right. There's only one Simon Cowell. Or to put it another way, there are only two Simon Cowells and they want $72 million apiece.
