Not the kind with scalpels and stuff, though.

Ms. Never-Been-Kissed Boyle’s been polished up a bit since her April debut on Britain’s Got Talent. As everyone who has ever been near a computer witnessed, Boyle was laughed at by the crowd and tittered at by the show’s staff until she belted out a stunning performance of the Les Mis favorite “I Dreamed a Dream.” Boyle’s backstory of being dull and dreary in a dull and dreary place and getting old alone after shelving her dreams to care for her ailing parents touched as much of a nerve as her stunning voice.

Susan’s definitely stayed in the spotlight long enough to have transcended the title of viral video star, and seeing her all dolled up definitely elicits a little bit of an aww feeling, like her Cinderella moment is finally complete. But Boyle still hasn’t adjusted to the inanity that is magazine interviews (surprising being that she’s a Brit and they invented celeb worship)- in the Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot/interview, she had this to say about her sleeper hit rise to fame:

“It will take a bit of adjusting to because I’ve led a sheltered life, I know. I’ve got life experience, but mentally I have to adjust. But it’s all good. All good.” Is she glad she did it, auditioned for the show? She looks at me in amazement. “Come on!” she chides. “It goes without saying. Come on now!”

Also, it’s driving me crazy that she looks like someone and I can’t place it. Ally Sheedy? I don’t think so. Any suggestions?

Susan Boyle is reported to be on the mend after an anxiety attack put her in a London mental hospital.

Boyle, who was reported to be close to a break down before the Britain’s Got Talent final, finally flipped after her shock second place.

The British press is speculating on whether Boyle will be fit for the Britain’s Got Talent concert tour show which is due to begin on June 12, although friends are saying that she may not even be fit for a recording contract.

“She doesn’t want to say no to recording,” claimed one source. “But everything else that comes with it? Concerts, television appearances? This is not what’s best for her. There has to be a way where she can sing and be financially secure, and not have to sacrifice her well-being.”

Susan Boyle’s admission to a mental hospital following her shock loss in Britain’s Got Talent has raised questions about her suitability to appear on the program.

It has been disclosed that Boyle suffered a range of mental health problems before appearing on the show, including a learning disability. The details of the leaning disability aren’t clear, but it’s believed that Boyle’s reported outbursts, and fragile mental state before and after the final was directly related to this issue.

Another report also claims that Boyle has an imaginary friend. Irene Carter, the mother of a member of the act Sugar Free, told local media: “Susan was acting very strangely all week. She is odd and is constantly talking to herself. One time, staff working on the show backstage asked if she was OK and she said she was talking to her friend. She then introduced everyone in the room to this ‘friend’ – who wasn’t actually there.” Boyle was also reported to have left long messages for her cat pebbles.

Any mental health issues Boyle had should not have prohibited her from appearing on the show, but likewise there are reasonable questions surrounding the exploitation of Boyle by show producers given her mental state. Even the healthiest people would have struggled with the attention Boyle received, that Boyle had serious issues before appearing makes where we are today not the least bit surprising.
