You Got To Be Kidding Me

The Beatles, bigger than Jesus? We might be willing to grant you that. Simon Cowell, bigger than Springsteen? In a CBS interview, the American Idol judge tells Anderson Cooper:

“I sell more records than Bruce Springsteen. In the last five years, I’ve probably sold over 100 million records. If [Springsteen] got 100 [million dollars], I should have got 500.”

Judges?

“It started out really pitchy for me — that whole sell-more-records-than-Bruce thing… I mean, they’re not your records, right? But then you went on, and I’m like aiight, aiight, you’re funny, you’re doin’ your thing, you’re workin’ it out! By the end, though, man… I don’t know, I think you need to try to watch the ego. That was just a little weird for me, dawg.”

The Cowell profile airs on 60 Minutes this Sunday, March 18, at 7 ET/PT.
