Boyle would rather be in Blackburn than with Barack ....
By Douglas Wight

SUSAN Boyle turned down the chance of a dream dinner date with President Barack Obama in Washington . . . to stay at home and wash her hair, we can reveal.

Britain's Got Talent's Hairy Angel confessed to being TOO NERVOUS to meet the American president - her most famous fan - at a glittering star-studded bash.

A source told us: "She was shocked and thrilled by the invite - but it was all too much too soon for her so she said No."

"She has been told President Obama has seen clips of her on TV and loved her singing. And she is delighted.

"But instead she'll have no doubt stayed in with her cat Pebbles, washed her hair and watched Britain's Got Talent on telly."

American TV networks all fell over themselves to give her a special invitation to the prestigious annual Correspondents Dinner which took place in Washington DC last night. President Obama was guest of honour and invitations are like gold dust.

Dowdy spinster Susan - who captured hearts around the world when she sang I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables - would have rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous including Hollywood A-listers at the five-star Hilton Hotel . . . and the President.

1. News of The World is Britain's version of
The National Enquirer, without the credibility.

4. someone needs to smack the jackass who wrote that crap upside the head
with a 2 x 4 - not for what was written (which may not even be TRUE) but also for HOW it was written.

3. "Dowdy Spinster Susan" ?!
WHAT THE HELL is this 1863?

SPINSTER?

DOWDY?

Can we puhleeeze stop using the derogatory slander and assinine 1860s terminology and attitudes against this woman and every OTHER woman who doesn't look like goddamned Christy Brinkley and isn't married by 25?

Jesus Christ on a stick. :mad:

5. Not her sort of thing
No dummy, her. A White House dinner invitation would come with plenty of cosseting and the right dinner companions to make her feel comfortable.
This was a deal to just "be a celebrity", and she was wise to decline.
