My staff has always liked Simon Cowell, even though he’s a big old grump. And now we find out that he is a big old animal lover and rescue supporter? Awesome!
We learned from one of our favorite blogs, L.A. Times Unleashed, that Simon recently donated $30,000 to Linda Blair’s (yes, that Linda Blair from the Exorcist) animal rescue organization, World Heart Foundation in Los Angeles.
The organization was in danger of closing due to lack of funding when Simon heard from a mutual friend they were in trouble and offered to help. What a good guy! And he’s done lots of other animal-related benefits and good works, so in our book, he’s A-OK.
We did a little research and learned that, even though Simon loves animals, he does not currently have a pet because he travels so much. I think that is a responsible way to look at it, Simon. And once Simon’s career lets him stay put for a while, I’m guessing some lucky rescue pet is going to have a great home.

I’ve got to say it’s very pleasing to check out a rather ‘different’ blog like yours, excellent work. I expect I’ll be dropping by fairly soon to see if you have uploaded another comment.
I really must make the comment that it is really quite a novelty to visit a somewhat original blog like this, good work. I look forward to coming back quite often and I look forward to reading your next post when I do.
Wow, great article! Simon has a heart after all, and for the anipals!!!
I always knew I liked him!
Live and learn. Never would have guessed he loves anything.
