Simon Cowell to Judge Dog Show for Charity
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.”

Charity Event: Celebrity Collars for Dollars
Robin Williams tops the list of celebrities donating their dog’s used collars for a “Celebrity Collars for Dollars” auction benefiting Dogs Deserve Better, a nonprofit working to bring dogs into the home and family. Williams donated three old collars from family pets Gabby and MableMae, signed with each dog’s name as well as Robin’s, 3 autographed movie photos, 3 signed Robots movies, and an autographed Dogs Deserve Better Calendar cover.
The group also received 2 collars from Daisy Fuentes‘ dogs Alfie and Rita, and one from Jack Hanna’s dog Ben, Adrian Zmed’s dog Kubby, Elvira’s rottweiler Mina, Patrick McDonnell’s friend Earl, and Betty White’s dog Pontiac. All have been framed in shadow boxes with a photo of the celebrity, any personal notes, and a Dogs Deserve Better “Celebrity Collars for Dollars” inscription label specifying the celebrity name, his/her companion’s name, and the date of the auction.
Tammy Grimes, founder of Dogs Deserve Better, states “It’s been great fun opening the mail from celebrities to see what they’ve donated. Candice Bergen, who did not have a collar to send, had her assistant call to say they were sending a specially signed photo to DDB; they both loved our work, and gave a generous donation for the chained and penned dogs. What an honor!”
Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Taylor, and Dolly Parton donated autographed photos which were framed and will be sold during the auction. Bill Maher sent a signed copy of his book “Polite Musings from a Timid Observer”, also to be auctioned, and Martha Stewart autographed the DDB Calendar cover, which has been framed and is slated to be included.
The Dogs Deserve Better “Celebrity Collars for Dollars” auction will run 10 days through July 3rd, and can be found through the Dogs Deserve Better website.
