Check Out Sinead O’Connor’s New Single “Old Lady”

Sinead O'Connor

It’s been a rough couple of years for ol’ Sinead. I’m not going to lie. There was her wedding announcement that included the phrase “Can’t. Talk. Cock. In. Mouth. Situation.” and her abrupt divorce 18 days later … which then went back on-again.  Not surprisingly, soon after all this, she announced she had a mental breakdown attributed to her bipolar disorder and canceled a tour.

But still, she makes good music. Here’s her latest single, “Old Lady,” from her 2012 album How About I Be Me (And You Be You?) — reminding us of the same old Sinead, breakdown or not. Keep reading »

“You’re not allowed to talk about sex in Ireland. The last four boyfriends I’ve had, their mothers have refused to meet me because I wrote articles about sex. Now I have a rule: I don’t go out with anyone whose mother isn’t dead.”

– Okay, so Sinead O’Connor is a little nuts. But tell me this isn’t good advice for us sex writers. Just date men who don’t have mothers who can Google!

(But real talk, Sinead? I don’t think these mothers wouldn’t meet you because you wrote articles about sex. They wouldn’t meet you because you wrote about sex with a yam.) [Irish Central] [Photo: Splash News]

I think things are about to get a whole lot more interesting in Sinead O’Connor’s love life. After announcing that her 18-day marriage to Barry Herridge was ending because she felt like she was “living in a coffin,” the singer is tweeting a different tune. So, if I follow correctly, she and Barry are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend, go to “counsellin” and move in together in like a year. But in the meantime, they are going to stay married and f**k. This is what happens when you go to Vegas with your drug counselor to hunt for weed and end up getting “a load of crack” instead. The Frisky staff is pulling for rehab for the both of them rather than a reunion. Stay tuned. [Huffington Post]

  • Sinead O’Connor’s 16-day marriage tanked in part because of drugs. The happy couple spent their wedding night on a hunt for weed, ended up someplace “quite dangerous” in Las Vegas, and were handed “a load of crack.” (Also, uh, doing this.) Sinead said she had second thoughts about the nuptials — and, uh, the drugs — because hubby Barry Herridge is actually a drug counselor. (Probably not anymore!) Sinead had strong words for how badly their brief marriage fared: “It felt like I was living in a coffin. It was going to be a coffin for both of us, and I saw him crushed. The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man.” Ooooookay.[People]

Sinead, say it isn’t so! Sinead O’Connor announced on her website that she and her new husband, Barry Herridge, are splitting 18 days after they married in Las Vegas. Sinead blamed the split on the influence of people in Herridge’s family who didn’t approve of their union, especially in light of rumors about Sinead in the press. Keep reading »

Sinead O’Connor’s Wedding Announcement Blows My Mind

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 9, 2011 //

“Dear friends… amongst whom I include whomever may be reading this with a view to writing about the glorious marriage. Am blogging this cus media people are naturally seeking me. On sunday I will put up blog on whole day. Too glorious for words. For now though, as you will appreciate, it’s a bit of a ‘Can’t. Talk. Cock. In. Mouth’. Situation.”

Oh, Sinead, nothing — nothing! — compares 2 U. Congratulations! I can only hope the forthcoming longer recap of her wedding day is just as hilariously pornographic. [Sinead O'Connor via Gawker]

Sinead O’Connor Considers Sex With A Yam

Ami AngelowiczAugust 26, 2011 //

Sinead O’Connor has, uh, changed a bit since the ’90s. She grew her hair back, gained a few pounds, returned to Ireland, and took up blogging. If you haven’t been keeping up with her website, you should know that she was desperately seeking sex. In fact, Sinead was so hard up that she considered doing it with inanimate objects:

“I recently read of a woman in America who married and regularly humps her truck. I don’t yet own a truck but I’m beginning to understand her head space … My s**t-uation sexually/affectionately speaking is so dire that inanimate objects are starting to look good as are inappropriate and/or unavailable men and/or inappropriate and/or unavailable fruits and vegetables. I tell you yams are looking like the winners.”

That’s a sounds like a sex emergency to me. Luckily, she says she found an “extremely sweet, kind, very respectful, considerate but absolutely FILTHY minded, un-inhibited RUDE sex maniac named John” to take care of her s**t-uation. Phew! Crisis averted! But really, nothing compares 2 yam. [Celebitchy] Keep reading »
