Simon Cowell topped Piers Morgan’s list of UK “celebrities that really matter”, beating out what he called shoals of Z-listers.
Morgan put together his top 100 roster of British celebrities that really matter for the Daily Mail newspaper. He is a journalist and former editor of News Of The World and The Daily Mirror whose ITV-1 tell-all interview with Cowell aired on the weekend.
Morgan writes: “There are thousands of ‘celebrities’ in Britain. By which I mean there are a lot of famous people. Many of whom have absolutely no right to be. Whole shoals of Z-list wannabes, scrabbling for their 15 minutes of recognition on increasingly degrading reality-TV shows, desperate for fame of any kind. So it’s time to sort the chaff from the wheat, and resolve once and for all who really counts in the world of celebrity in this country.”
He put David Beckham at No. 2, Cheryl Cole at No. 3 and Prince William at No. 4, UPI reports.
