Demi Moore jetting in for Britain's Got Talent final

Singer Susan Boyle is still the firm favourite to win Britain's Got Talent. Two more acts have secured their place in the show's final, but bookmakers are very confident that Boyle will come out victorious. William Hill shortened the odds of her victory to 4/7, with the next favourite being dancer Aidan Davis at 6/1. Comedy dance act Stavros Flatly won the public vote to secure a place in the grand final, with father-and-son performers Demetrios and Michalakis Demetriou, from north London, dancing to Zorba The Greek. They will be joined in the final by singer Shaheen Jafargholi, 12, from Swansea, who was reduced to tears when he was saved by the judges' vote. He saw off competition from dance group MD Showgroup, from Liverpool, who dedicated their performance to young murder victims Anthony Walker and Rhys Jones. It was the third semi-final of five during which a total of ten acts will be chosen to compete in the final. Stavros Flatly and Jafargholi will join dance groups Flawless and Diversity, and singers Shaun Smith and Susan Boyle. The hopefuls will compete for £100,000 and a chance to perform in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance. Meanwhile, judge Amanda Holden has used social networking site Twitter to invite Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, who are both huge Boyle fans, to come to the final. Although Moore's request to commandeer Simon Cowell's plane seems to have been refused, Holden offered them first class tickets and a room at the Dorchester Hotel.
