Then and Now

SINEAD O’CONNOR HAS TURNED INTO ANOTHER PERSON – WITH NO FASHION SENSE!

Suddenly it’s sinking in how long ago the 90’s were. TWO decades ago! Nothing illustrates this better than the metamorphosis of Sinead O’Connor. In 1992 the skinny bald headed pop star shocked many when she appeared on Saturday Night Live and ripped up a photo of the Pope in protest of child abuse in the Catholic church. This weekend Sinead appeared in an Irish Music Festival with a sensible haircut, glasses, a cross around her neck, and forty or fifty extra pounds. (And she STILL likes to show her stomach.) Since she gained fame with her hit “Nothing Compares 2 U,” Sinead, 44, has had three husbands and four children and says she’s ”¼ lesbian.” Nothing explains her fashion choice.

Adam Ant Bi-polar Manic Depressive Then and Now

ADAM ANT’S ATTIRE IS THE LEAST OF HIS PROBLEMS

According to the Daily Mail, he was attempting a comeback at a charity event in the UK this week but when he started rambling and wasting time onstage, the audience turned on him and booed. He responded by yelling obscenities and insulting Christians in particular. The next day he was locked up in a mental hospital where he is now recovering.
