The show “Britain’s Got Talent”, kind of like the UK version of “American Idol”, got the biggest surprise ever when 47 year old church volunteer Susan Boyle walked on the stage. I don’t want to spoil it for you, just watch:

Wasn’t that amazing!!!!!!

I love Simon Cowell, but this might be a little too much Simon for me! Here’s the American Idol judge having some downtime in the sun; must be nice, where I’m at, we’ve got almost a foot of snow!

Oh, BROTHER. Well, though the whole suicide thing is very sad, I don’t agree with what Paula Goodspeed’s brother is saying about what caused this mentally ill girl to kill herself in front of Paula Abdul’s house. Basically, he is blaming Paula for everything:

“[Abdul] didn’t speak up for her. She let everyone take her down,” McIntyre told The Post from his home in Maine.

“She [Abdul] said she was ’speechless,’ when she could have said something in her defense.”

Uh, really? Watch this and see if you agree:

Huh. You know, just because you THINK you can sing, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Maybe if this girl’s brother had spent more time encouraging her in her other talents and gifts, instead of giving her delusions that she actually could go all the way to Hollywood, she would still be here today.

A fan of American Idol judge Paula Abdul was found dead near Paula’s house last night; police are guessing it was suicide. The woman was in her 30’s and had a long history of being completely nuts (obviously) about Paula.

Fortunately, Paula wasn’t home at the time (because that would have been extra super duper creepy). Here’s what Paula had to say about this whole mess:

According to Paula’s rep Jeff Ballard, Paula is “shocked and saddened” by the turn of events. She and her team have been aware of the woman for “several years” as an extreme fan who “has issues.”

Weirdness!

Ellen DeGeneres!

She revealed she was their choice this week on her show; here’s what she had to say:

Well, she just has fantastic luck with men, doesn’t she? Paula Abdul, who broke up with boyfriend J.T. Torregani a couple months ago, is now experiencing every ex-girlfriend’s worst nightmare: she’s being stalked. Here’s more:

Paul Abdul has told ex J.T. Torregani to stay away- and she’s even threatening to have him served with a restraining order because she claims he has violent outbursts and is stalking her!
The “American Idol” judge says 33-year-old restaurateur J.T. tried to kick down the door of her Los Angeles home- and she’s now so scared she has hired a bodyguard, according to pals.
“Paula says she’s terrified over what J.T. might do,” a source close to the performer told The Enquirer. “She claims they broke up after eight months and she put him out of her house. J.T. started harassing her.
“Paula complained that J.T. left dozens of voicemails and text messages on her phone, and when she didn’t reply, the messages became more and more menacing.”
Paula also claims J.T. has been showing up at shops and restaurants she frequents, looking for her, added the source.

No matter how nutters Paula is, she definitely does not deserve this kind of treatment. Unfortunately, a restraining order can have the opposite effect for which it’s intended. Hopefully the police will take this very seriously.

Simon, Simon, Simon - it’s a lost cause. Nice try.

In an announcement to Fox News, Simon Cowell says that, among other things, getting her “away from her stupid friends” will help revive her career.

“MTV ratings are up and all we’re hearing is Britney, Britney, Britney!” Simon said. “She can turn it around.”

Could this bring Britney’s career back from its Las Vegas grave?

It is unclear whether they want Britney to be a guest star or a contestant.

She has to WANT to help herself though. I think she wants it all without working or taking care of herself or her kids - it’s like she decided it would be fun to play house and play Mom but then she found out it was actually hard work….I think she’s pretty much toast at this point.
