Liz Rosenberg Reads Vanity Fair

Jeannette Walls of MSNBC's Scoop reports on the mini feud that has erupted between geeky Simon Cowell, and Madonna.

Cowell, you'll recall, last week said, �Madonna used to be good looking. [Now] she�s a housewife.�

And in response, Liz Rosenberg, who gets paid the big bucks to spin Madonna's every move, responded:

�I�ll have to quote from a philosopher whose name I don�t know, �You should only hate people you love. The rest of them are not worth the energy.'"

Which is a sort of so-so line, all things considered, although it was wittier when Michael Caine used the line in response to his Proust questionnaire in VF this month.

Is that all that Madonna's scrilla pays for? Recycling Old Brit lines to counter Old Brits?
