Piers Morgan is the object of Susan Boyle's fancy.

Boyle states, “I Like Piers.” 

Who doesn't really?  He is the exceedingly polite and handsome Brit who sits in judgement of a variety of acts and breaks it down for them.   Unlike Simon, he never seems like he has somewhere else to go to immediately when working on a smallscreen panel.

But Simon Cowell is not buying Boyle's preferences. “She didn’t say that…It’s not her saying that!” said Cowell.

Yesterday, Susan Boyle came clean about that whole 48-years-old-and-never-been-kissed claim.

Well, it’s not quite true.  She told Extra's Terri Seymour, “It was meant as a joke...I've got a wicked sense of humor, you know!"

When Boyle was asked who she’d rather pucker up with – Simon Cowell or fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan, Boyle responded, “That’s a hard one! No comment."

Well, Terri wasn’t taking “no comment" for an answer. She said, “You’ve got to choose. I’m making you choose. If you had to pick one of them.” Boyle responded, “I like Piers. I like Piers. But I like Simon equally as well. There you go. No preference." Seymour continued, “But you’d prefer to kiss Piers Morgan than Simon Cowell?” Boyle laughed, “I don’t want to embarrass him. Don’t be silly.”

Now, “Extra” is first with Cowell’s incredulous reaction to Boyle’s kissing revelation, as he insisted to Terri Seymour, “No, she didn’t say that…It’s not her saying it.” In fact, he’s not so sure about her kissing admission either, joking, “It wasn’t with tongue, so it doesn’t count!”

Boyle also revealed she might be headed to Hollywood, the land of mucho body and facial wax.  Be afraid Susan, be very afraid.

She told Seymour, "The most exciting offer so far has been a trip to Hollywood to make a film...There is talk about it…It's only rumors right now." When asked who she’d choose – Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise – as her leading man, she commented, “They are both very powerful, good looking leading men. I think I’d be spoiled for choice.”

As for all the cash Boyle might make from movies and music, Boyle giggled, “I’m going to make a lot of money? I don’t know what I’m going to do. I really don’t.”

And Boyle’s got her eyes on 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi, her number one rival on Britain’s Got Talent. She commented, “I think [he] is fantastic. Really fantastic. He has lots of confidence. He has everything." 

“Extra’s” interview with Susan Boyle airs tonight and tomorrow.
