After reading about Susan Boyle’s F-Bomb explosion and her self-admission into a hospital due to mental exhaustion, I got worried. My fear was that she’s headed down a dangerous path travelled by hundreds of other celebrities that have cracked under the pressure of notoriety. So, I put the resident starcasm psychic on the case and she confirmed my worst fears! Here’s a Susan Boyle timeline of past, present, and future and it doesn’t look good. (Though it does bode well for future starcasm posts!) (Click the image to see a larger version)
I have to admit, I am looking forward to 2019 and the premiere episode of Tiffany’s One-Hit Wonder Yacht! The psychic says the cast will include Gnarles Barkley, Sinead O’Connor, Nena, M. Night Shyamalan, Ernő Rubik, Mark Hamill, the ghost of Georges Seurat, Jennifer Grey, J.D. Salinger and the Baltimore Ravens.

I can’t wait for the “people stop caring” point!
People stop caring in December 2009? Wow, that’s longevity for you!
You’re calling Sinead a one hit wonder????!!!!
Okay, maybe in terms of actual top-o-the-chart hits, that’s true…and, in fact, her one hit sucked. Nonetheless, apart from her lame-a$$hit, and yes, numerous lamentable and not-so lamentable scandals, she’s made quite a bit of good music over the years….
So don’t diss her again unless you want me to rip up a Starcasm poster on Saturday Night Live…which, now that I think of it, would be excellent publicity for your blog…hey, you rip up a picture of me on SNL, I’ll rip up a picture of you…
Hee hee! I was hoping the cast of Tiffany’s One-Hit Wonder Yacht would rile somebody up! (My money was on fans of M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable) With Sinead it was just like you said – strictly a chart thing. I can still remember having a crappy summer job where they played worse-than-usual Muzak and repeated the same songs every hour. The only one I could stand was Sinead’s Emperor’s New Clothes and it was such a relief every time it started. So, Sinead has a small, untearable place in my heart. If it makes you feel better, the starcasm psychic also says there will be a show called Tom Waits’ No-Hit Wonder Shanty which will be an uproarious boozy good time with cast members like Lucinda Williams, the inventor of Zima and the programming director for The CW.
