Dancing Dog on 'Britain's Got Talent,' Impresses Even Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell might seem like a big ol' meanie, but beneath that skintight shirt beats the heart of a dog lover. The "Britain's Got Talent" judge says he's picked as a potential winner of this year's competition, and she's a furry, four-legged rescue dog named Chandi.

"Chandi is my favorite," he told the (U.K.) Sun. "She is one of the best dancing dogs I've ever seen. She does ballet."

Due to flu, Cowell was forced to miss the TV debut of Chandi and her owner, music teacher Tina Humphrey, according to the Shropshire Star. But the other judges agreed with Cowell's (eventual) assessment and passed the pirouetting pooch on to the next round.

Not only do we love this for the sheer entertainment value, but also because of the obvious bond Humphrey and her dog share. Will this encourage more people to find a "soulmate" of their own at the local animal shelter? Or inspire a canine to dance in studio? We sure hope so!

After suffering from exhaustion and being admitted into the Priory, a private clinic in northern London, our favorite cat-loving spinster singing sensation has emerged looking happy and refreshed.

"I feel bloody fantastic," Susan Boyle told the News of the World. "I just need to be home with Pebbles."

After checking out of the Priory this past weekend, Boyle flew to Scotland to be reunited with her 10 year-old cat. But life has changed for Boyle since appearing on "Britain's Got Talent." Paparazzi surrounded her modest home in her tiny hometown of Blackburn in West Lothian, Scotland.

Instead, Boyle was taken to a "secret location" according to Access Hollywood, where an "unidentified associate" --- who had picked up Pebbles from the house --- brought the cat to be reunited with Susan.

What's next for Boyle? She'll be appearing on the "Britain's Got Talent" live tour, kicking off June 12 in Birmingham, England. A doctor will be traveling with Boyle to ensure she stays in good health. No word whether Pebbles will be taken on the road as well, but it's probably not a bad idea.
