[edit] "Fuller also represents young British golfer Henni Brockway who is gay."

Is this relevant? --67.97.209.36 (talk) 19:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hastings?

I'm almost certain Fuller was not born in Hastings. His father taught abroad, and i'm pretty sure he was born in India, then the family moved back to Sussex when he was young as the Fuller Family is originally from Brighton.

[edit] 19

Should the link to the song 19 link to 19 (number) (as it currently does via a redirect) or to the section of that page 19 (number)#In music? Thryduulf 09:23, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Ideally the song would have its own article. In the meantime, I changed the link to go straight to the relevant section. Everyking 11:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure he should be listed as a producer

AIUI he is a Manager and impressario rather than a producer. User:DavidFarmbrough12 May 05 12:58 (BST) i would love to know why he axed s club 8 i think that he should never of done that cause that is pure evil he didnt even give there fans warring he just got rid of them which was wrong i think he should try and approch them allyes all 8 of them and see if they would like to give it another chance because people really miss them and there music as there is not alot of pop music out there at the momment and i think it would be a great achivement for him as those guys really did give youndstter a chance to belive in themseleve and prove that any one can make it some day and children and young adults looked at the juniors as a real inspration. so please siomon bring back sclub 8. they are really worth it. i also think that bringing out the sclub united tour out on dvd/vcr would be the right and first step in the right direcstion. because i sure that would win all the fans back even all the sclub 7 fans which would then again be a great achivement in its own way. so please siomon re think this over you have made the wrond choice so please try and turn your wrong doing round and make it a positive choice. thankyou

[edit] Popstars vs. Pop Idol

I have not managed to source this yet, but it is well known in the industry that Simon Fuller created the Idol Format in the late '90's BEFORE POPSTARS. He shopped it around the UK broadcasters, but as it was before the reality TV boom started by 'Survivor' in the US and 'Big Brother' in Europe, they passed on it. He then refined the idea for a couple of years, with Thames and after Big Brother and took it back to broadcasters. Popstars UK was already in development with ITV at this time, but after a bidding war between the BBC and ITV, ITV won and commisioned the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.138.193 (talk • contribs)

Popstars started in New Zealand -- the first broadcast was April 1, 1999. See http://www.tv.com/popstars-new-zealand/show/22124/summary.html . -- ArglebargleIV 13:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Picture

I am not sure if that is even Simon. A better picture of him should be used. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.108.10.3 (talk) 06:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Honda F1 involvment?

"His "Earth Car" created for Honda Racing F1 was competitive throughout the 2007 Formula 1 season driven by British driver Jenson Button and Brazilian Rubens Barrichello."

Apart from the fact that "WAS competitive throughout the 2007 Formula 1 season" implies that the season is already over, does anyone genuinely believe Honda to be having a competitive season this year?
