Poor Susan Boyle Is Hospitalized
The Sun newspaper is reporting that Susan Boyle has been admitted to the posh Priory clinic in London less than 24 hours after she lost the final of Britain’s Got Talent.
The clinic, which has hosted celebs including Robbie Williams, Kate Moss and Pete Doherty, specializes in treating people with mental health issues.
The 48-year-old virgin, who shot to fame in mid-April when she sang “I Dreamed A Dream” on the talent show and became an overnight sensation (and underdog hero to average-looking middle-aged women everywhere), exhibited some unusual behavior in the lead-up to Saturday night’s final, with a number of emotional outbursts.
But it seems to me that from the start there was something different about Susan, what with her inappropriate pelvic thrusts, her awkward crush on BGT judge Piers Morgan and claim that she’d never been kissed. Then we learned she grew up with learning disabilities. How could anyone cope with the heartstopping rollercoaster ride that Susan has been on, let alone a woman who was nicknamed “Simple Susie” at school?
While fame is fleeting, Susan Boyle has well and truly experienced something close to Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes, going from obscurity to being a household name to being admitted to rehab in the blink of an eye. She has managed to do in six weeks what it took Lindsay Lohan years to achieve.
A Britain's Got Talent spokeswoman told The Sun: "Following Saturday's show, Susan is exhausted and emotionally drained. She has been seen by her private GP, who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery. We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery."
I’m reminded of Debbie Allen’s speech at the beginning of Fame when she says, “You want fame? Well, fame costs, and right here is where you start paying…” I just hope SuBo can afford the price of admission.
The Vampire Diaries Trailer
From the creator of Dawson's Creek and based on best-selling books that came out before Twilight. What's not to like?
Alex O'Loughlin's New Series Three Rivers
He's cut his hair since Moonlight but Alex O'Loughlin still looks good in Three Rivers, a schmaltzy-looking new CBS series about organ transplant surgeons. I prefer him as a vampire tho. You can totally hear his Australian accent in the interview footage, which is surprising cause it never crept through in Moonlight.
