Susan Boyle was said to have upset fellow passengers on a flight to Australia on Friday. She was said to have become agitated on the flight and began to argue with the cabin crew.

I can imagine why she’d get cranky on a flight to Australia, that’s not a hop, skip or a jump away…. She boarded the jet on Friday for the land down under, for a promotional trip. But according to U.K. reports, she got super cranky on the plane.

Another traveler aboard the flight said, “She seemed pretty upset. And she seemed to be arguing with the crew. We got woken up two or three times in the middle of the night with her crying and quite loud, bad language.”

Her representative has confirmed that the Scottish singer was extremely tired during the flight, but also denied that she used foul language.

On last night’s Dancing With The Stars results show, we saw songbird Susan Boyle take the stage. She sang Unchained Melody, much to the delight of all present and all of us at home.

As she sang, professional dancers Val Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd took to the dance floor. Check out the video below:

The song appears on Susan’s third studio album, Someone To Watch Over Me, which is due for release on November 1st in the U.S. and November 7th in the U.K.

Susan Boyle is going to be the subject of a new reality television show. Reportedly, the Scottish songstress is going to be a part of a fly-on-the-wall documentary which will show the public how little she has changed since becoming a super star.

She rose to worldwide fame after competing in Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, and the footage will show her completing every day tasks such as doing the grocery shopping and going to church.

She has already been filming the show since January and it will include footage of her backstage ahead of her China’s Got Talent performance as well as recording a duet for charity with Peter Kay.

A source said, “Despite the fact she’s had this enormous success in record sales, she wanted to show her fans she’s still the same susan. She still lives in the same house and has a normal life. Since the beginning of 2011, she has been filmed for a fly-on-the-wall documentary about her life.”

The show will make its debut on UK television station ITV1 before she releases her album, Someone To Watch Over Me, in November.

Susan Boyle is set to perform on Tuesday night’s live results show for Dancing With The Stars. Reportedly, the songbird will belt out a version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

TMZ reports:

As TMZ first reported … Boyle was blindsided moments before she was supposed to perform on “America’s Got Talent” last month … when she found out Lou Reed wouldn’t give her permission to sing his hit “Perfect Day.” Boyle was so devastated, she broke down in tears and caught the first plane back to the U.K.

I can’t wait to see her sing on the show. That’ll be the most interesting thing since Bruno-Gate. (Which was played out for the drama factor.)

Were you hoping she would sing I Dreamed A Dream?

Update: Her appearance on the show has been canceled due to Susan suffering from a severe throat infection. Get well soon!

America’s Got Talent just got a little more interesting. With ten-year-old singer, Jackie Evancho, we’ve got high hopes for the talent competition.

She’s got such phenomenal talent and such a big voice in a tiny package.

According to Contact Music, British singing sensation Susan Boyle has filed lawsuits against two of her brothers for breach of privacy.

Her brothers expressed concerns for her well-being, after she checked into rehab and was seen sucking her thumb after a promotional event. She had also raised health fears after collapsing at an airport in London.

Contact Music reports:

Two of her brothers, John and Gerry, have spoken out in the press to express concern for their sister, with Gerry even claiming that staff at her management company are “controlling” her and keeping “her family away”.

But Boyle is fuming that her brothers are talking to the media and has launched a breach of privacy lawsuit against them over the interviews, according to Britain’s Sunday Express newspaper.

You can’t blame your family for being concerned, but they should have voiced their concerns privately.

Rapper Snoop Dogg says that he wants to show his softer side by recording a duet with Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle.

He said, “She’s a great artist. I’m looking forward to going into the studio with her. Why not? We’re going to get our minds together and figure out what we’re going to sing about. I’m down with that.”

Are you down with that? I’d love to hear their collaboration.

In what would be an odd collaboration, the guys in Rage Against The Machine say that they want to perform with Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle.

The rockers recently had a campaign to keep Simon Cowell’s X-Factor winner Joe McElderry from reaching the top spot, and instead had fans purchase their song, Killing In The Name.

Singer Zack De La Rocha said, “Simon [Cowell] seemed to think it was a bullying campaign but the truth is the British people wanted a change. I don’t think anybody has heard anything of that Joe guy since Christmas, but we have nothing against him. The truth is Simon’s shows occasionally produce talent. We love Susan Boyle, she is hot. To show there are no hard feelings we would like her to perform with us on stage this summer. She is a great vocalist and we would love to perform Killing In The Name with her. Everybody knows her in the U.S. and she can add vocals to anything. It would be an honor for us.”

While Susan Boyle was away recording her part in Simon Cowell’s charity single for Haiti, Everybody Hurts, her home was being broken into. She arrived back at her West Lothian home to find the intruder.

A source said, “Susan got home to find an intruder halfway up her stairs. She was with another female, who was dropping her off, it is just as well she was.”

The teenager ran past Susan and made a break for it.

A spokesman for Lothian and Borders Police said, “A 16-year-old youth has been arrested and charged in connection with a theft that happened at a property in Blackburn.”

Uh oh! Apparently Adam Lambert has a little bit of a bone to pick with Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle.

When speaking to a magazine recently the American Idol singer said that he didn’t like her debut album. Prior to that, he said that the UK is more tolerant with homosexuality and androgyny.

According to Pink Paper:

Speaking to the leading gay monthly, the performer said: “I just think that you guys in the UK are way ahead in terms of tolerance. It’s really interesting. In the UK and in Europe it’s less of an issue because people are more comfortable with their sexualities.

“And not just the gay thing, but even playful things, like the concept of androgyny. That is something that generally many Americans are uncomfortable with.”

He later went on to discuss Susan Boyle, who kept him off the top spot in the charts. He said: “I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. Wild Horses is the one that just made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!”

At last night’s Grammy Awards, Stephen Colbert opened the show by razzing just about everybody in attendance, and even one who wasn’t there, Susan Boyle.

He started off by saying, “We are here tonight to celebrate what I believe is our most precious right, the right of celebrities to congratulate each other.”

Then, after trying to be “cool” for his daughter, he hit out at Susan Boyle. He said, “Congratulations to all of you, but what I want to know is — Why isn’t Susan Boyle here? I mean, she accomplished something huge this year. You all may have brought the sexy back, but she sent it away again! No thanks Sexy, we’re just going with good singing this year.”

He added, “Seriously, you may be cool here but this year your industry was saved by a 48 year old Scottish cat lady in sensible shoes. So, give it up for Susan Boyle! congratulations, Susan!”

Susan Boyle’s idol, Elaine Paige calls the Scottish singer a “virus” and has dismissed her method of rising to fame.

Paige said, “I don’t particularly feel any pride for her – I’m sure she is proud of what she has done. It’s all about turning someone into an immediate celebrity at the expense of longevity and working hard and experience. Susan Boyle is doing terribly well considering she literally came to the attention of the world with the advent of Youtube. She was like a virus really that spread across the world in a nanosecond.”

She added, “She is a girl with no experience of anything to do with theatrics, the music business, or art in any way. Longevity is gained through knowledge, experience and effort so it will remain to be seen (if she will last). When I started (my career) YouTube didn’t exist but even then with 15 years of experience prior to my success (starring in the musical) Evita it was difficult, so I admire the way she has handled her sudden success. Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor just take a bunch of people from real life who think they can sing and try and turn them into overnight ‘stars’ with a couple of songs. It’s not entertainment.”

Snap. But why so mean? Susan has had nothing but love for Elaine.

Update: Via Elaine Paige’s official Facebook, she has clarified her statements:

“I was dismayed to read the remarks attributed to me today in the Daily Mail which were incomplete and misinterpreted.

I am a huge supporter of Susan Boyle and admire what she has achieved; she has handled the extraordinary situation of being catapulted to worldwide stardom with tremendous strength, charm and dignity and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on the ITV special we recorded together only last month.

I have always said it’s very hard for someone to be fast-tracked to stardom without any prior experience – I know this as it happened to me when ‘Evita’ opened and I found it extremely difficult in the beginning; today, of course, it’s much harder with the phenomenon of the internet – Facebook, YouTube etc – it seems it only takes minutes for fame to spread around the world – and that’s why I used the word ‘virus’! I wasn’t referring to Susan herself; I was referring to the speed of her fame spreading as fast as a worldwide viral marketing campaign.”

Thanks to those that sent this in!

Before Kesha got a record deal, she was trying to slip her demo to anyone who would listen, including the Purple One, Prince.

She reportedly paid Prince’s gardener five dollars to allow her inside his house so that she could leave her demo there, wrapped up in a nice purple bow.

Unfortunately for her, the “Purple Rain” singer never called her. Unfortunately for him, she blew up on the charts regardless.

She has most recently knocked Susan Boyle off of the charts with her new album, “Animal”. Of that, she said, “I feel kind of bad, but Susan had six weeks at number one. That’s a really long time.”

Fame has made Susan Boyle crazy.

Just a day before the singing sensation had a meltdown which consisted of singing into a mop, she was swearing up a storm at a local cafe.

A cafe staff member said, “When my boss came in with a delivery, I was sitting talking to her and Susan shouted over, ‘You better not be f**king talking about me.’”

Her mouthpieces are currently doing damage control, as she has since apologized over the incident.

According to sources, Susan Boyle is being tipped to sing the next Bond theme.

The Scottish singer is reportedly thrilled at the idea of being chosen for the next film’s soundtrack. The next James Bond movie is set to feature Daniel Craig and is due out in 2011.

Compose of the classic James Bond theme music, Monty Norman praised the choice, saying, “They’ll think seriously because she’s got the right kind of sweeping voice.”

You go girl!

50 Cent says that he wants to work on a track with Susan Boyle. Craziness!

He says that he is a huge fan of Susan’s and would like the chance at a collaboration with her.

He said, “She’s got an amazing voice, and together we’d get everyone dancing. I’m always looking to do something new and she’s cool, so I’ll ask somebody to let her know. I got to get her on a track, for real. We’d make a hit.”

What do you think?

Alicia Keys has just released the album cover art for her new album, “The Element Of Freedom”. There was an imposter floating around previously, but this is the real deal.

Her fourth studio album is set to hit stores on December 15, 2009. It has been confirmed that this is the official album art, due to Alicia posting it on her Facebook account.

On November 24th, the singer will perform some of the songs from the album on the “Today Show”. Since embedding is disabled, you can view the official video for her first single, “Doesn’t Mean Anything” here on Youtube.

Her album is going to be great, I love her voice. Joining her for the “Today Show” performance are John Mayer, along with Susan Boyle. So you know it’s not something you’d want to miss.

Last night, we were not only treated to Aaron Carter’s whiney butt getting the boot from “Dancing With The Stars”, but right before that Susan Boyle performed.

She sang the song that made her famous, “I Dreamed A Dream” and sounded just lovely. The song went beautifully while dancers Tony Dovolani and Chelsie Hightower took to the floor to dance.

See her graceful performance, after the jump! (continue reading…)

British singing sensation Susan Boyle is gearing up to sing on “Dancing With The Stars” this week. She flew into LAX yesterday for her scheduled appearance on the show.

Boyle will be singing “I Dreamed A Dream” on the hit dancing show, while dancers Tony Dovolani and Chelsie Hightower take the floor to dance.

I’m totally watching this, I love her voice. Maybe Sharon Osbourne will be there to cheer on Kelly. That ought to be interesting.

Susan Boyle was admitted into the hospital Saturday afternoon, after suffering from severe stomach pains.

She first complained of the issue while at home in West Lothian, Scotland early Saturday morning. She was then taken to the hospital for some testing.

She was said to have emerged from the hospital looking drained. Maybe she is suffering from exhaustion again?

Get well soon, Susan!

Slipknot’s frontman Corey Taylor has become obsessed with “Britain’s Got Talent” sensation, Susan Boyle.

He called her audition “incredible” and said that it mesmerized him.

He said, “Susan Boyle is incredible. Somebody told me about the show and I said, ‘I have got to see this – ‘I Dreamed A Dream’, are you kidding me? I put it on and she was fantastic. The people on that panel were in tears. When Susan leans into it, she’s great.”

He added that all of the buzz surrounding her health problems is crazy. He added, “She’s a little bit crazy, but aren’t we all? Anyone who’s worth their salt is a little bit bent out of shape.”

We have good reason to believe that “Britain’s Got Talent” star Susan Boyle might be heading stateside, if she’s well enough.

She’s had a quick rise to fame, but it comes with a price: all of the attention hoisted upon a 48-year-old woman and paparazzi are taking her photos constantly. I can’t imagine what that must be like. But she is deserving of her new-found fame, she’s an excellent singer and hopefully she’ll make us swoon with her voice over here in the U.S., as well.

Piers Morgan says, “If she’s up for it and she is well enough. Our feeling is she probably will. Absolutely! Susan singing live to 25 million Americans? That would be great!” He added that, “She still gets a bit tired sometimes, but she is 48.”

I can’t wait to see her sing here, live. She’s awesome!
