Against The Wall

From a profile of Simon Cowell, by Amy Chozick in the Wall Street Journal:

Mr. Cowell, 51 years old, sipped on his specially formulated antiaging smoothie, which he drinks daily, made with imported lingonberry, acerola berry, chokeberry and aronia juice flown in specially from exotic locations. After Miami, an aide would arrange for the fruit to arrive in Dallas, the location of the next "X Factor" audition.

"This [show] better bloody work or I am in huge trouble,'" Mr. Cowell said as he rode down Collins Avenue, blowing smoke from his Kool cigarettes out the open window.

I don't think the writer was unaware of the juxtaposition of a health-conscious smoker.  Good work, Amy.
