American Idol judge Simon Cowell is at the center of a police investigation after he discovered his TV set had been bugged. Police were called to the Palace Theatre in Manchester, England, after the music mogul spotted the high-tech listening device in the corner of the room.

British TV actress Amanda Holden was horrified to discover a dead body while out jogging on Monday. The star found the corpse during a run with her personal trainer along a canal in Richmond, south London. It was later discovered the unnamed man had hung himself from a tree before falling.

Music mogul Simon Cowell abides by a superstitious ritual before appearing on TV - he "worships" his hair-dryer, according to his co-star. Cowell's pre-show ritual was exposed by his Britain's Got Talent co-judge Amanda Holden.
