Male admirers of Susan Boyle are already arranging to buy her flowers for Valentine’s Day. Members of the Susan Boyle fansite forum started the petition earlier this week.

The men have set up a Paypal account, and suggest a contribution of $15. “This is only for the men in the site,” the poster says.

Contributors can give money anonymously, but if they show their name it will be added to a card for Susan.

The 48-year-old world famous singer, who prior to her appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent,” said she had never been kissed, will likely get plenty of attention this Valentine’s.  The singer has been a media sensation, appearing on everything from Oprah to Japanese TV. Sales of her album, “I Dreamed a Dream” have helped to boost Sony’s revenues by 2 percent in the third quarter of 2009.

Millions of viewers have been watched Susan’s performances. Yet she joked, modestly, "YouTube is fairly new to me," adding, "The only tube I knew was a tube of Smarties."

Happy Valentine’s Susan, you deserve it.

So what you fans are saying is that Susan doesn't own a computer, never reads the internet, and the flowers would have been a surprise. Are you also saying that no-one in Blackburn owns a computer or has access to the internet. Are you also saying that no member of her family owns a computer or has access to the internet. Hey, Suze, did you hear some of your fans are sending you Valentine Day flowers. Get real people and stop this attack on Irish Central. Nothing is private on the internet.

I wonder if these same guys did the same when they wanted special attention from their favourite teacher. Time to grow up boys.

Fellow Fans, No harm done. Susan has never had a computor, and probably still doesn't; she likely can't even type. So I doubt she logs onto any website without assistance, and I doubt an assistant is going to show her something that's supposed to be a surprise. She also probably never uses google by herself or reads the Irish Central online unless an assistant or friend shows it to her. After all, she's in Scotland and this is not a local paper to her. So my guess is that she is still blissfully ignorant about the planned flowers. Having said that, I'm pretty sure one or two of her "minders" likely does know because of this leak. Which could be a good thing to make sure she is there to recieve the flowers when they come. And/or if she's not there, get them to her right away.

Hold on - the news of this was on GOOGLE last NIGHT a full 10 hours before this article was even written. Like it or not, Ms. Kelly was just doing her job and happened to get to it first. I am sure she won't be the last.
