John & Edward to mock Cowell in act?
Wednesday 4 November 2009
According to The Mirror, choreographer Brian Friedman is currently working on a cheeky routine for the twins' performance of 'Ghostbusters' on Saturday night.

A show source reportedly said: "Brian is working out if it is possible for Cowell to appear as a ghostly figure on stage, or whether someone can float onto the stage with a Cowell face mask on."
"The boys, dressed as Ghostbusters, will then exterminate the figure using lasers."
"The audience would love it and it might even bring a smile to the real Simon Cowell."
"Another idea was for Cowell to be 'slimed' but he wouldn't put up with that, and given that he is an executive producer on the show, he would veto that idea.
"But you can rest assured it will be another special performance from the twins. Many of the acts are doing ballads this week because of the movies theme, which means they won't move around too much.
"That leaves Brian even more time to work with the twins and create a chaotic three-minute act."
