You know something is very wrong in the world when reality TV show hosts are too busy for the president. PR Inside reports that Simon Cowell turned down a dinner party invitation from Barrack Obama.This is less than a week after Barack had given Simon an epic shout-out on “Jay Leno,” saying, “I do think in Washington it’s a little bit like ‘American Idol.’ But everybody is Simon Cowell. Everybody’s got an opinion.” According to our Mr. President. In an interview with Jay Leno the other night, Simon ever-so-smugly mentioned this invitation to the White House(name-dropping to the max), “He wanted to have dinner and our diaries didn’t quite match. We just didn’t quite connect.”

A shocked Jay replied: “And what were you doing – whitening your teeth? Fixing your hair?”

First of all, Simon, be a man and call it a day planner. And while we understand reality TV show hosting in conjunction with model-dating can simply be exhausting, when the leader of the free world, Barrack-star Obama, invites you to dinner, you go. Simon has since invited the US leader to appear one of his shows. Speaking to a UK radio station he said: “We’re trying to get Obama to do a show at the moment. He was talking about how everyone in Washington is a critic, like me. I’m not sure if it’s a compliment or not.” Oh, how many people would love it if Simon Cowell got a snub from the President, if their ‘diaries’ didn’t match.
