Well, it seems Dick Dastardly is still up to his devious deeds… or no, wait, it’s Simon Cowell who’s doing the deeds. After leaving obscurity and traveling to the center of the spotlight on a bumpy road that included a nervous breakdown, Susan Boyle has inspired Simon Cowell to make a movie about her tumultuous road to success. The movie will be entitled “I dreamed a dream: The Susan Boyle story” and it’s going to be aired in December.

The singer and American Idol judge apparently lost a few pounds recently. How come she did it?

It’s been great, but now I’m back to work.” What’s Simon Cowell got cooking now that Paula Abdul is getting back to work. It’ll be a good few months until the next season of American Idol begins, so what’s the latest project? Or does Paula Abdul just not want anyone to know that she is still pretty much, what’s the word… unemployed.
