- Latest BGT highlights on AOLBritain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle is reported to have turned down an invitation to a dinner with US president Barrack Obama.
The Scottish spinster, dubbed the "Hairy Angel", is claimed by the News of the World to have been too nervous to accept an invitation to the famous annual Correspondents Dinner at the White House.
The paper quoted a source as saying: "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."
Boyle, 48, became a global sensation when clips of her singing I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables were spread via the internet, and she has been deluged with invitations to appear on talk shows in the US.
She seems almost certain to make it big in the US, whatever happens on Britain's Got Talent, unlike some of these less fortunate British stars...
