"Susan Boyle Has Plenty of Reasons to Be Pissed"

'Tuesday night she lost it in a hotel lounge when she heard her favorite judge, Piers Morgan, say on TV that her 12-year-old rival on Britain's Got Talent put in the best performance of the second round.
She flashed what was confusingly referred to as a "rude two-fingered gesture" (could someone please explain what's indecent about a V-sign?) and told more than 100 gathered fans of the show to "fuck off" before retreating to her room

Critics say it's the diva kicking in, and sympathizers say it's the pressure becoming intolerable......

A healthy temper doesn't quite fit into the Cinderella story that the show is promoting; Piers Morgan is portraying her as a victim of UK media jackals, saying "the increasingly unpleasant bitching and carping" is driving the sensitive songbird to tears, and issuing a treacly call for everyone to give her a break. "My heart absolutely bleeds for the poor woman," he intones, adding condescendingly, "Susan's just a sweet, middle-aged lady from a Scottish village who can't really comprehend the sheer scale of what's happened to her."

Her video's gotten 200 million hits on YouTube and she hasn't made a dime off it, and now she has to compete with 12-year-olds and wacky dancers to win this thing, or be perceived as a loser.....

Caroline Miller alternative report no doubt not emanating from the shows publicist
