Sinead O’connor

NOTHING COMPARES TO SINEAD O’CONNOR

Sinead O’Conner was one of the most controversial – and melancholy – Irish singers of the 90’s. She shaved her head to rebel against traditional roles for women, wore shapeless clothing, and was usually angry about something either religious or political. In 1992 she famously tore up a picture of the Pope on SNL and SHOCKED Lorne Michaels and everyone else at the time. (Funny how not-so-sensational that seems now.) She railed against the Catholic church for sexually abusing children, but managed to get HERSELF ordained a priest. Maintaining that she is NOT bi-polar, Sinead converted to Islam last year – hence the traditional attire at a recent UK concert.

SINEAD O’CONNOR: NOTHING COMPARES TO A MAKEOVER

Sinead O’Connor came to her senses and realized that looking like a matronly former nun would not help her reputation as a controversial personality and singer. In 1992, Saturday Night Live producers and viewers were shocked (believe it or not) when Sinead tore up a photo of the pope and threw the pieces at the camera in protest of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. (Good for her!) Her obstinate spirit and shaved head gave her the rebellious reputation. So when she turned up 20 years later looking ordinary, her career seemed doomed. But she took a good look in the mirror and shaved her head again and added a big Jesus tattoo on her chest. She HAD to do something, she has a new album coming out in February!

SEX-STARVED SINEAD O’CONNOR WANTS A MAN AND SHE WANTS HIM NOW!

This is the first time we’ve heard of a female pop star ADVERTISING for sex, but there you have it. The once skinny bald-headed Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, 44, has not aged well, and she is on a man-hunt. She’s been blogging that she’s in “the peak of her sexual prime” and “looking for a sweet sex-starved man” – specifically a guy who is older than she is, employed, and doesn’t use hair gel. She adds that her situation is “dire” and that “EVERYTHING must be on the menu” – meaning any and all sex acts are okay with her. Women will also be considered. We sympathize with her beleaguered assistant who must sort through the applicants.

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.
