Simon Cowell spouted off his new life plan at at dinner hosted by the Prime Minister of the UK.

"I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you've been declared dead.

War Child, an organization that provides humanitarian assistance to war-affected children in some of the most devastated regions of the world, teamed up with Astralwerks to produce a pretty impressive compilation. Some of the most iconic names in music (Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, David Bowie) were asked to select one of their songs and nominate a new artist to cover it.

What resulted was a collection of 16 songs by artists like Beck, The Hold Steady, Duffy, Estelle, TV On The Radio and more. Classic songs like "Heroes," "Atlantic City," and "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker," are reinterpreted and proceeds from the album, War Child - Heroes, benefit the War Child charity.

Rihanna has been arranging secret meetings with Chris Brown, it has been claimed.

A source tells the publication, "Even after what Chris did to her, Rihanna is crazy about him and she's forgiven him.

I sincerely hope none of that speculation is true.
