Seattle to New York: Piers Morgan's American street cred

I’ve been working in America the last three weeks, and everywhere I’ve gone, from Seattle to New York, Houston to Los Angeles, I have had to run the Susan Boyle gauntlet when I walk the streets. And I mean gauntlet. Literally one in five people have stopped me to ask about Susan.

Which is why a rather attractive Canadian lady came up to me by the pool of my Beverly Hills hotel yesterday, and said: ‘Oh my god, I love your face in the Susan Boyle video. So kind and sensitive.….My friend and I would like to take you to dinner tonight…’

I couldn’t make it, but I do want to thank Susan for all she is doing for my street cred in America.
