Simon Cowell is not such a beast after all. The “American Idol” judge just donated $160,000 to save the life of 18-month-old Sophie Atay from Gateshead in the UK, Radaronline.com reports.

The multimillionaire music mogul stepped in after learning her family had to raise $800,000 to pay for treatments needed within days.
