It's not unusual for the newspapers to talk about The X Factor's Simon Cowell - he's an interesting chap, after all – but more time than is strictly necessary has been spent discussing his waxing habits and his hairy (and occasionally less hairy) chest. Now the great man has spoken out. "I have never been waxed ever – anywhere," he tells the Daily Telegraph. "I swear on my mother's life." Not that he's against a little self-grooming, you understand. "There is nothing wrong with looking after yourself and having a regime – a good scrub." Absolutely, Simon. Or a decent haircut.
