King Of Mean Does Something Nice!

Simon Cowell showed his generous side by donating over $150,000 to help save the life of a cancer stricken toddler.  
Cowell has reported donated the money for 18-month old Sophie Atay to fly from the UK to the US for a treatment in New York.
He acted after learning that her family launched a last-ditch appeal for money to pay for the treatment last week after they were told Sophie was suffering from a rare form of cancer and that she needed treatment, fast.
Alexandra Burke--last years X-Factor UK winner--broke the news to Sophie's mom, Karine on the phone that Simon will be picking up the tab.  
Alex told the Daily Mail:  "Karine didn't know what I was going to tell her when I called her.  So when I broke the news we were both crying.  I'd told Simon about the situation and there was no time to waste because Sophie needs the treatment immediately, and he decided in a second that he would donate the money."
