Cowell asks shop for freebie
Pop Idol and X Factor judge Simon Cowell has apparently tried to convince a Los Angeles shop to give him a £10,500 watch for free.

The Sun claims that Cowell told the jeweller, "I'm a big celeb so you'll get lots of publicity."

However, the jeweller has rejected Simon's request for the free white-gold Patek Philippe.
