Hollywood fag...).

And my apologies to Miss Boyle for any perceived offense - none was meant...to
her...

Curious,

For those who don't know what the hell Rick's talking about
Susan Boyle is the latest YouTube sensation to "go viral".

When I first saw her introduction in the clip I saw, it was on the computer, and
I honestly thought it was some "gag," with Cowell in a dress, etc. All the
snickering from the audience kinda supported it (obviously, their view was
better than mine via streaming video on a laptop, so it seemed plausible that
they could clearly see it was Cowell in drag...unfortunately, they were just a
bunch of impolite idiots...which, I suppose, shouldn't come as a surprise...).
When she started singing and immediately everyone started cheering, I wasn't
sure what was up as I only saw the coupla-three minute segment from her walking
out and the first half or so of her singing - there was no "set-up."

When I then saw her picture, it still looks like Cowell - an older sister or
something...
