THE POP MOGUL Simon Cowell as you've never seen him before.

Here and in his own words, Cowell spills the beans on his superstar chums, including Madonna, Cheryl Cole and Piers 'Magnificent' Morgan - and not forgetting, of course, his secret passion for Angelina Jolie.

Gunned down by a fan, Cowell wakes up in hospital to find he's got no money, no home and no mates. Worse still, his face looks like it's been through a blender; a tough blow indeed for the vainest man in Britain.

Cowell is on a quest for fame and fortune. But will he ever be able to win back his elusive Mojo - The Sex Factor?
