Simon Cowell Turns Down Viagra Offer
Saturday March 8, 2008
American Idol judge and cranky critic Simon Cowell, 48, has apparently turned down an offer from Viagra to be their spokesman, according to UK Glamour. At around $2 million, the deal would have been lucrative, but the aftermath would most certainly have been a disaster."Last year my agent rang me and said, 'You've been offered an incredibly big deal. It's to be the face of Viagra.' I just said, sorry, but that has to be an insult," he told the magazine. Can you even imagine the unending jokes and comments that Simon would endure if he actually allowed himself to be the face of that drug? Off the top of my head, I can think of at least five.

That’s hilarious. There are many things I can see Simon as the “face of” but Viagra never would have crossed my mind! I can certainly picture the commercials though – a before and after thing where he’s regular old snarky Simon one day, and the next he skips onto the set of Idol and compliments Paula on something.
