London, October 7 : Simon Cowell has reportedly been gifted 179 mirrors for his birthday on October 7.

Pals of the 50-year-old music mogul were said to have shelled out on mirrors ranging in different shapes and sizes.

“They came in all shapes and sizes – big ones, small ones, full-length ones, distorting ones to make me look taller, even dental ones so I can look at my teeth,” the Mirror quoted Cowell as telling a pal.

“A couple even bought magnifying mirrors to help me inspect any wrinkles!” he apparently added.

The talent judge said he would place most of them under the hammer for charity. (ANI)
