uk papers run story on simon cowell's new house - except they made it up

So, the Daily Mail, Evening Standard and a whole raft of their websites have run this AMAZING story on Simon Cowell's £40m new house that he's having renovated to within an inch of his life and having Babington House installed in his cellar or something.

Problem is, it isn't his house...

The house pictured is infact a hotel called the Halcyon Hotel and the photos were lifted from an earlier article (see below) regarding something completely different.

See below for both articles.

Good old Associated Newspapers soon realised their monumental cock up and removed it from later editions of the Evening Standard and London Lite (it originally appeared on page 3 ES and page 7 of the London Lite).

wtf? There are now tons of paparazzi outside this fucking building site. What are they expecting to see? Louis Walsh banging Rhydian over a snooker table? Jeez!

		Dames on Tue 26 February 2008 said... erm... meh. Why not report, perhaps, on the fact that luvvie halfwit Helen Mirren, still bullishly empowered by the global success of 'The Queen'-the film still on everyone's lips-chose to knight that other knt just for being in a basically ok film? fuck me.
