Simon Cowell 50th Birthday.

Simon Cowell was given 179 mirrors on his 50th birthday.

The music mogul who is known for-- his vanity-- received the items from friends and family for reaching the landmark age of 50.
According to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper,Simon told a friend,"They came in all shapes and sizes-the big ones,the small ones,the full-length sizes,even dental ones so that I can look at my teeth."

"A couple of people even bought me magnifying ones to help inspect my wrinkles"

However,Simon does not intend to keep the huge hauls of mirrors.

He is going to donate most of them to be auctioned to raise money for Battersea Dogs Home--which cares for abandoned or lost cats and dogs in the UK.

Simon celebrated his birthday with a US$1.6milllion bash at stately home Wrotham Park in Barnet,Hertfordshire,on Saturday night.

The event was a star-studded affair,attended by 400 guests including supermodels,Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell,his fellow"X-factor"judges Cheryll Cole and Dannii Minogue and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

Several of Simon's ex-girldfriends were also in attendance,including Terri Seymour,Sinitta and Jackie St Clair.
