Susan Boyle To Get $6 Million Dollars On Her Birthday!!

According to reports from the U.K., “Britain’s Got Talent” singing sensation Susan Boyle will be getting a $6 million dollar check for her 49th birthday next month.

Boyle’s debut album I Dreamed A Dream was the biggest selling CD of 2009 in the United Kingdom and has sold more than 8.5 million copies world wide.

Her birthday is April 1st, and after she receives her check she will no longer have to live off of her allowance she gets from Simon Cowell. A source tells Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, “People have thought of Susan as a millionaire for months already because her album was launched in November, but she hasn’t got it yet. Up until now, her management team have made sure she never wanted for anything, but this is her long-awaited payday.”

I bet she’s going to be a very happy girl on her birthday! You would hope!

The track was released on Tuesday, but is expected to go platinum across the pond by the end of the week.

A Spice Girl Regrets Tattoo

Former Spice Girls star Melanie Chisholm regrets covering her body with tattoos when she was younger because it makes her too recognizable which makes it hard for her to relax anywhere. She has a total of 11 tattoos now, one which is large black cross on her left arm.

She says, “I do regret a bit having them done. Especially when I’m on the beach. Or when I’m hoping to go incognito and I can’t take my coat off in the sweltering heat because everyone will know it’s me when they spot them.”

Melanie Chisholm is currently performing in the musical, “Blood Brothers” and her tattoos have become quite an inconvenience since they have to be covered with a boat load of makeup.

She said, “I have to cover them up every night on stage with camouflage cream: it takes forever. But they would look a bit out of place, wouldn’t they?”

Maybe she should consider laser tattoo removal since it’s such a pain in the ass for her?
