Somehow you just knew that this Britney Spears story would bring a comment from Simon Cowell. He also manages to have a go at Robbie Williams in the process:
Music mogul SIMON COWELL has blasted troubled stars BRITNEY SPEARS and ROBBIE WILLIAMS for checking into rehab, insisting they have no idea of what hard life really is.
The AMERICAN IDOL judge recently visited an impoverished nation and after witnessing the horrific conditions people were forced to live in, he believes Spears and Williams' problems pale in comparison.
Spears is currently in Promises in Malibu, California following months of hard-drinking and partying, while Williams is seeking treatment for an addiction to painkillers at The Meadows clinic in Arizona.
Cowell says, "This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and Robbie need to get a grip.
"I don't know what's going on in Britney's head but my attitude is I couldn't care less. She should go back and live with her mum for six months.
