Cloning

SIMON COWELL HAS CLONING IN HIS FUTURE

Who knew that America’s Got Talent host Simon Cowell was such a soft touch when it came to dogs? He has three Yorkshire Terriers that he adores and spoils – and rarely leaves at home. They have flown around the world with him (including Barbados, above) and have the run of his private jet with white leather seats. Despite the fact that he shares his life with his partner Lauren Silverman and their five year old son Eric, Simon says he can’t BEAR the idea of living WITHOUT his beloved dogs and is starting the process of having them cloned in South Korea – at $75,000 a pup!

BARBRA STREISAND’S MORAL DILEMMA

Since Variety spilled the beans that Barbra Streisand had her beloved dog Samantha cloned, it’s been the talk of dog-lovers. You can’t blame Barbra for loving her Coton de Tulear so much that she had her cloned – twice. Every dog owner knows the agonizing heartbreak when the animal they’ve spent so many years living with, inevitably dies. Cloning seems like a good idea if you have an extra fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. But, as animal activists point out – the clone may LOOK the same, but the dogs are NOT likely to have the same personality. Even Barbra admits her dogs don’t behave like Samantha. So maybe it’s not really such a great idea…

ONE SIMON COWELL IS ENOUGH

We had no idea that Simon Cowell was SO totally in love with his dogs. It seems he has been researching dog cloning in Korea and is considering having his adorable Yorkies cloned so they can live forever. We wouldn’t have been surprised to hear that Simon wanted HIMSELF cloned, but it’s rather touching to learn that the bombastic Brit treasures his pets to that extent. In the photo above, his Yorkies tormented a paparazzo on the beach in Miami.
