"Susan Boyle has reportedly received a \u00C2\u00A320,000 ($32,000) Cartier necklace as a birthday present from Simon Cowell.  The &amp;#039;I Dreamed A Dream&amp;#039; singer, who first found fame on Cowell&amp;#039;s show Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent, is said to have been &amp;quot;overwhelmed&amp;quot; by the music mogul&amp;#039;s glittering gift at her 50th birthday party on Friday.  The People claims that Boyle grew teary while unwrapping Cowell&amp;#039;s present at the bash in her native Scotland, which was attended by over 150 well-wishers including fellow Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent stars Stavros Flatley.  Cowell, however, was unable to make the event, but insiders stated that Boyle was too touched by the thoughtful gesture to dwell on his absence.  A source said: &amp;quot;Susan couldn&amp;#039;t believe how kind Simon was, she has never \u00C2\u00ADreceived a present as expensive as that in her life. She was really shocked but so grateful.&amp;quot; A friend of Boyle&amp;#039;s added: &amp;quot;Susan didn&amp;#039;t stop smiling all evening, she had a wonderful time.&amp;quot; Cowell recently admitted that he has become less judgmental since meeting Boyle.  The &amp;#039;Wild Horses&amp;#039; star was reported to have invited both Cowell and former Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan to a housewarming party in January.
