Version 0 of 1.

<strong>Simon Cowell</strong>'s publicists must be earning their money this week – if only to prevent the X Factor boss from seeing the unflattering pictures of his new "puffy-faced" look in the British press. The Sun's front page has the picture caption "Pieman Cowell" over a shot of the pop mogul looking slightly, er, larger than life on US TV this week. Inside, the paper wonders about the cause of Cowell's chubby cheeks under the headline, "Supersi Me". Is Cowell auditioning for Alvin and the Chipmunks ... in the role of Simon?
