Susan Boyle To Sing At Oscars
SUSAN Boyle Watch: In which the Huffington Post’s Sarah Walker tells of her “fears” for Susan Boyle.
Anorak has highlighted some terrific opinion on Britain’s Got Talent’s Susan Boyle, noteworthy:
* This woman is my sister.
* So, just as the unemployed Susan Boyle is storming the states with her unexpectedly inspirational rendition of “I dreamed a dream”, equity markets appear to be putting in a not dissimilar inspirational performance — leading many market commentators to profess the recession may in fact be over and done with.
* Susan Boyle: My definition of actualizing potential by allowing the energy of the universe to flow through you.
* Susan Boyle surpasses Barack Obama as the most popular human being on the planet
* I’m still stuck on Susan Boyle, and still weeping. I suppose that’s so 24 hours ago, and I should be thinking instead about how Mel Gibson’s divorce might affect his box-office cred with conservative Catholics.
* If Susan Boyle had not existed, the Noughties would have had to invent her to prevent the decade from crashing into its own looking glass

Susan Boyle’s Puppy Love For Donny Osmond And Auditions For Emmerdale
SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news – with Donny Osmond, Emmerdale and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger…
Hacks across the world are pressing F9 on their keyboards and telling their readers of Susan Boyle – bad hair; frumpy; never judge book by cover; sings; Scots; smug Cowell; cat; dead mum; virgin. Facts.
The media facts on a woman aged 48 are stock. And she is 48. Or 47? Such is the standard of reporting on Susan Boyle that the hacks cannot agree on her age. (It’s 47.) But all the other titbits on Boyle appear in every article on Susie Simple, of which there are thousands.
New Fact Alert
Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle owes her dazzling voice to a teenage obsession with Donny Osmond, her brother reveals today…
And when it wasn’t Donny – whose 1972 hit Puppy Love she knew off by heart – she was driving her family berserk by repeatedly blasting out the soundtrack to Grease – especially You’re The One That I Want…
“Susan was what you would call a loner,” says Gerard, who at 53 is the closest in age to 47-year-old Susan, the youngest member of the family. She was happiest on her own, playing her records and losing herself in music. She didn’t really interact with other children”…
“Eventually she retreated into her own world. Music became her thing.”

Susan Boyle Watch: Susie Simple Stalked By Demi Moore And Meets Oprah Winfrey
SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news…
Never been kissed?
Says Neighbour Brian Smith, 51:
“It’s not true Susan’s never been kissed. I’ve given her many a peck on the cheek to say ‘Don’t worry, everything’s going to be all right’. She comes to me when she needs help or a shoulder to cry on…I never knew her to have a birthday party because she was busy caring for her mother” –
Daily Mirror
Assuming she is a Protestant, and I may be wrong, but let’s assume it anyway, Scottish Protestant church going is about one thing – avoiding physical and emotional contact with another human being… Susan Boyle comes from a place where confidence can be in short measures, like the whiskey. But not her. She pulled out her talent to show them, almost to spite them. Look at me. I’ve never been kissed. Never touched. Don’t need it. –

Heal The World
Tom Morris uses his Huffington Post column to say: “Susan Boyle Energizes the World.”
There is communal thinking on Twitter on a level and in a form I’ve never seen before. Almost every day, a topic comes up that causes me, as a philosopher, to ponder a bit, and then share the results of that pondering in the 140 character increments that Twitter allows. Today, someone mentioned Susan Boyle, the lady who has made such a stir worldwide with her recent appearance on the television show Britain’s Got Talent…
Keep in mind the 140 character format, if you’re not familiar with Twitter, and the need for a topic announcement with each offering, as every one of them has to stand on its own or be lost in the fast moving stream of Heraclitean tweets.

Hairdresser Keeps Armed Robber As Sex Slave
TO the Kaluga region of Russia, where a female hairdresser is accused of holding an armed robber in captivity as a sex slave for two days after he unsuccessfully tried to rob her beauty salon.
According to Life.ru… the robber, a 32-year-old man identified… as “Viktor,” burst into the salon at around 5 p.m. waving a pistol and ordered all of the stylists and clients to hit the floor and toss him their money.
At this point, 28-year-old Olga, whom Life.ru describes as a “delicate” girl trained in martial arts, was apparently still standing when she offered to hand over her cash. But when Viktor tried to accept her contribution, Olga surprised him with a quick punch to the chest, knocking the wind out of him before she flipped him to the ground.
Wash and blow?
Olga proceeded to tie Viktor up with a hair-dryer cord, gagged him and dragged him into a storage room. Olga instructed the others to keep working, telling them that the police would soon arrive…
The police did not come. And after the other stylists and clients went home for the evening, Olga told Viktor to “take off his underwear”…
She tied him to the radiator with handcuffs covered in frilly pink fabric, gave him some Viagra and had her way with him several times over the next 48 hours. When she finally let him go on the evening of March 16, Viktor had been “squeezed like a lemon”.
First, he went to the hospital to have his injured genitals treated; then he went to police and filed a complaint asking that Olga be brought up on criminal charges for committing “actions of a sexual nature” that left him with injured sexual organs…
Says Olga:
“What a jerk. Yeah, there were a few times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and drink, and gave him 1,000 rubles when he left.”
