Read these words carefully:

Britain's Got Talent runner up Susan Boyle was admitted to The Priory clinic last night suffering with exhaustion. Police were summoned to her hotel and the singer was assessed under the Mental Health Act after she had an 'emotional breakdown' following her shock defeat in the show's final.

Who assessed her, and when did "exhaustion" turn into "emotional breakdown?"

And they say the press doesn't make mountains out of molehills?

I take the U.S. media on these type of matters with a grain of salt and the UK media with a molecule of salt. I don't think any person could stand up to UK notorious Tabloid/Gossip type media long. A simple lack of sleep over a period of time can cause undesired results. She was under a lot of pressure and it is natural that once that pressure is over to have a reaction. It's also common for the UK media to have an over reaction. I'm certain dramatic but inaccurate tabloid stories and pictures will be in checkout lines before Thursday grocery day here in the U.S. as well.

There was this report:

London, May 29 (ANI): Susan Boyle’s increasingly strange behaviour has sparked fears that she may be axed from the final of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.

The Scottish singing sensation has got TV bosses worried with her erratic behaviour, including swearing at cops after claiming two strangers tried to ‘wind her up’.

“The last thing producers want is a meltdown on national TV. It’s been made clear that if she’s not right mentally, she won’t appear in the final,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.

According to judge Piers Morgan, the pressure of global fame is taking a toll on Boyle.

Writing on his Internet blog, Morgan said that the singer has been in “floods of tears” this week and suffering from almost crippling nerves.

I would say that would lends it's self to some sort of mental problem.
