jesus-boyleSUSAN Boyle has been tuned into a moral and religious icon. Read about her glodly presence here: The Ten Most Amazing Susan Boyle Songs.

Now, as the Daily Star reports, ex-PM Tony Blair, 55, declared himself a fan:

He told GMTV: “Susan is probably doing more good than most of the official channels of diplomacy.”

And Tony is not alone.

British prime minister Tony Blair mingled with stars and Hollywood studio chiefs during the kickoff dinner for BritWeek April 21 at the BevWilshire.

With so many celeb mates, it’s like he never left No.10.

The event was a benefit for Malaria No More, the group chaired by News Corp. chief operating officer Peter Chernin to eradicate malaria around the world, in part by seeking contributions for $10 mosquito nets that could be sent to areas ravaged by the disease…

Blair said that because the nets could mean the difference between life and death, the evening “is about a precious, precious gift that we have the power to give.”

And Ryan Seacrest was there, the toothy American Idol presenter.

Seacrest’s presence inspired Blair to recount his own story of trying to launch a singing career — but he admitted that when he auditioned, “It wasn’t like a Susan Boyle moment.”

Susan Boyle knew my Prime Minister.

During one tryout, he got cut off by the producers. “I said, ‘Why do you do that?’ ‘Act of humanity, mate, act of humanity.’ “

Look out for Susan Boyle singing the them song for Tony Blair’s Faith Foundation – Ave Good Time, Maria…
