LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "Britain's Got Talent" sensation Susan Boyle was invited to the White House Correspondent's Dinner, a star-studded event on Saturday night that welcomed such celebs as Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, Kyra Sedgwick and more - but she had to say no.
A rep for the reality competition told Access Hollywood on Sunday that Susan "was invited by numerous networks... to be a guest at the event," but that show rules prevented her from attending.
"None of the acts are allowed to go [overseas] for any events until the show is over so we had to decline on her behalf," the rep said.
Susan was not invited by President Obama himself, the rep added.

The $200-a-ticket black-tie event supports the needy and helps fund journalism scholarships.
Susan will, however, appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Monday - according to the Los Angeles Times, the star will let Oprah's cameras into her home in an episode entitled "The World's Got Talent," which will also feature "Britain's Got Talent" and "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell.

WWII CollectorGood for her. Regardless of her reason, I'm glad she didn't sit down with the most anti-American president and first lady in our history! I'm leaning more and more to "God save the queen!"report abuseposted May 12, 2009 10:11 AM PDT

tashalynnDena L, Obama doesn't talk about how great he is...everyone else talks about how great he is. Keith B, Oprah doesn't think she's above everyone else, she just admired by many. I guess you guys have a problem with quality people. Well turn on Jerry Springer and Maury. Sounds more in you guys league.report abuseposted May 12, 2009 4:09 AM PDT
