Simon Cowell, known for his cutting remarks on American Idol is showing a kinder side by judging a dog show for charity. The very blunt reality TV judge will give his verdict on important categories such as The Waggiest Tail at The Royal Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (RSPCA) fete in Brighton, southern England on Sunday.

It is the third year in a row he has attended the bazaar after his mother, who helps out at the local dog shelter, asked for his help. A source says, “Simon is devoted to his mother and when she asked him to help the open day attract more visitors, he did it originally to please her. But he has now become a patron of the shelter.”
