Susan Boyle in celebrity Mental Hospital
Susan Boyle, despite her defeat on "Britain's Got Talent," continues to dominate the headlines. Sadly, it's not for the reasons she had hoped.

According to British media reports, police were called about 6 p.m. on Sunday to a London hotel where doctors were "assessing a woman under the Mental Health Act." The woman was taken by ambulance to the Priory, a clinic in north London known for its celebrity clientele.

"You've had a weird seven weeks," Cowell told her after Saturday's performance. He said a lot of people thought she "shouldn't even be in this competition, that you're not equipped to deal with it. . . . I completely disagree with that." Cowell said he'd gotten to know the "real Susan" -- not the person portrayed in the media -- who is "still a very nice shy person who just wants a break."

3. And she didn't even dangle a baby off a balcony.
Well, thank God she spared us that Britney Spears getting-out-of-a-car shot.

4. Hope she feels better soon
It sounds like this hospital is the best place to be while she recovers from her anxiety attack. The competition is very intense and I hope that she benefits from a good rest.

her talk and her voice is wonderful. Did she lose? Who won? Deserved? Who's the female judge?

6. I feared this would happen
She's a sweet woman and she chose to live in that small community for a reason. She was comfortable there.

7. I feared for Susan too. She is much too naive to be thrust into the
TV spotlight.
