Hey, we haven’t heard from “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell in awhile!

Just how does Simon Cowell feel about Britney Spears’ meltdown? Basically, he tells her to “stop being stupid.”

Simon Cowell said:

“I do feel bad for Britney. But having said that, then I see the real world where people really are struggling – haven’t got enough money, haven’t got enough whatever – and you have to temper that with, ‘Stop being stupid, go home. Life ain’t that bad.

I do feel sorry for Britney. I would have taken her somewhere quiet for six months. The problem with Britney is that I don’t think there’s anyone in her life she listens to. Someone should have said to her, ‘Right, enough. You can see where this is heading, you’re not going to cope with it yourself’.”
