Susan Boyle Seen Bawling for Her Cat on Hotel Balcony

People often make fun of ladies and their cats. But when it's a real situation lived in the public eye, it's just sad. Susan Boyle clearly isn't mentally-prepared for the fame and demands that superstar-dom has brought her:

"Susan Boyle was dropped from a second Britain's Got Talent concert last night after launching into a bizarre rant over her beloved cat Pebbles. The distressed singer was seen shouting on the balcony of her eighth floor room which overlooked the atrium at Radisson SAS Hotel in Liverpool on Thursday afternoon. Her behaviour prompted producers to remove the 48-year-old from the playlist at Thursday's live tour at the Liverpool Echo Arena. A spokesperson for Britain's Got Talent denied the Scottish spinster had been yelling for her cat, insisting she was 'just tired'. Fellow hotel guests claimed Susan was seen bawling: 'Where's my cat?' on the balcony on Thursday afternoon. One guest said: 'She kept shouting, 'I want my cat. I need my cat. 'I think people felt sorry for her as she was clearly unhappy.' It is unknown if she will return to the stage in Cardiff tonight."

Very sad. She's obviously not cut out for touring. They should just let her make a record and get on with her life at home.

Gay Moroccan author Abdellah Taia tells all: "Taia has defied Moroccan society's don't-ask, don't-tell attitude toward homosexuality — and prison sentences that are still on the books in the North African kingdom — to write five autobiographical novels about growing up poor and gay in the northern coastal city of Sale. The novels, peppered with sexually explicit passages, have catapulted him to fame in his native country and made him the de-facto poster child of its budding gay rights movement."

8: The Mormon Proposition. An interview with director Reed Cowan: "Truthfully, this film started out as an exposé on the problems of gay teen homelessness in Utah's 'Zion' and an examination about WHY otherwise loving parents would kick their kids out on to the streets just because their kids are gay.  But as the weeks and months unfolded in our project, I began seeing that history demanded our project be larger in scope.  Slowly, but with great force, our focus shifted to what I believe is the 'touchstone' of Mormon ideology regarding homosexuality...and that is exclusively Mormon efforts to get PROP 8 on the ballot in California and see its passage.  It's the case against Mormons and what I believe has been a decades long work to damage gay people and their causes.
