What did the stars get up to at Simon Cowell's party?
Billed as the showbiz event of the year, the guest list for Simon Cowell's 50th birthday party read like a who's who of the celebrity world. Gordon Ramsay, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, David Hasselhoff and X Factor judges Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole were among those who turned up. Inside the event at Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire the famous faces were treated to performances by talent show winners Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke as well as music legends Earth Wind And Fire. But Louis Walsh claims "Westlife stole the show". The music mogul may be biased though. He currently manages the Irish group. There were also images of the birthday boy decorating the venue, even on the wallpaper. While Alexandra Burke admits she had a hangover after the million pound bash, Gordon Ramsay and Dermot O'Leary said they were "still recovering" nearly two days later. Simon however seems to be in some denial about turning the big 5-0. He joked: "40 is a big year". He added: "It was one of the best nights I've ever had. It was excessive, over the top, great fun. It was everything I wanted a party to be."
