Simon Cowell, American Idol controversial judge and rude-guy of X-Factor and American Idol, recently spoke out in support of troubled Britney Spears, but he has turned the tables on Spears saying she is 'in control' of what she is doing and is manipulating the media.
Earlier in the month, Cowell offered his support and even offered to speak directly with her about her current troubled life. After Britney's stand off with the police after she failed to hand over her two sons, Cowell said that Britney was 'out of control'.
Since then, Cowell has followed Britney antics and he is sure she is deliberately misbehaving.
Cowell told pagesix.com: "Everyone thinks its breakdown this and breakdown that. From the kind of stunts she is pulling now, I think she is the puppet master and completely in control. I really felt for her at one point, I thought she was heading for a meltdown and everything was out of control, but, especially now over the past week, I thought she was honestly in control, and, more to the point, wants to be in control."
Britney has been pursued relentlessly by the paparazzi - even dating one who is supposedly now set to sell his story.
Cowell went on to say: "If you don't want to get any press attention, just keep your head down, don't drive yourself anywhere and sit in the back of a blacked out limousine. But if she think's she knows what she's doing, then good luck to her."
