Mick’s on Simon Cowell – "I can announce that I am thrilled to be nominated by Mr Slimy Coward as his most irritating Popstar! I can't tell you the excitement I felt upon hearing the news. To be honoured in this way by the very man who is singlehandedly responsible for turning the music industry into soap powder ..it was,well.. Just underwhelming!"
