It all began with Simon's first tweet when he wrote, "It's official, I know it's taken a while. It's really me! love #iamsimon." And that was apparently all the America's Got Talent judge needed to take his very first Twitter jab at The X Factor judge. While Simon went on tweeting to promote his reality show, Piers remarked, "Save your breath @SimonCowell-nobody's watching X Factor, my show's about to start #CNN @PiersTonight." Of course, Simon never backs down from a fight, especially when he's provoked. He fired back at Piers, tweeting, "@piersmorgan look up the word deluded in your dictionary," to which Piers quickly replied, "Comes before 'demolished'—ironically what I'll do to you on here." Boys will be boys, right?
But while Simon seemed content to leave it at that, his competitor was far from finished. The following morning Piers took delight in pointing out the vast difference in their number of Twitter followers, noticing that his 1.47 million far outweighed the 253,000 keeping up with Simon. Piers tweeted, "Morning @SimonCowell. Still 1.3 MILLION followers behind me. As you would tell a contestant: 'There's a LOT of work to do, luv.'"
But Simon has since set his sights on a different target entirely -- his fellow X Factor judges. Noticing that he's already beaten them in the Twitter race, the media mogul wrote, "I love being on twitter. Thank you for allowing me to beat the other 3 in the popularity poll. Paula looked like she'd sucked on a lemon!" Is it just me or do all these people have way too much free time on their hands?
Welcome to the wonderful world of Twitter, Simon. This is going to be fun!
