For many of us, renting an apartment is the only way we can afford a roof for shelter. And it’s surprising to find out that some celebrities share the same dilemma like ours.
Susan Boyle recently sparked controversy with the terrible news that her managemement is only sparing her a weekly allowance of £300 despite selling millions of records with her debut album I Dreamed A Dream. But this did not stop the middle-aged sensation as she reportedly purchased her dream house.

You’d expect the News Of The World’s big splash that Susan Boyle is living on £300 a week would contain within it a buried denial from Simon Cowell’s management team. It doesn’t, though:
‘The Boyle management sources last night confirmed Susan’s allowance is just £300 a week but said she could have more at any time if she wanted’.
The News Of The World does at least offer some perspective:
‘Global star Susan’s weekly allowance is Less than NHS hospital staff earn’.
When you put it like that, it doesn’t sound so bad. We should probably be more worried about the low earnings of NHS staff than Susan Boyle – were it not for the massive gap between what Boyle has earned for everyone else, and what she’s been given. But do remember: the music industry does everything it does for the sake of the artists.
Billboard Magazine is reporting that their ’sources’ reveal a Christmas album in the works by Susan Boyle.
Columbia spokeswoman Fran DeFeo confirms that Boyle is “recording a new album to come out later this year,” but doesn’t have any details on the nature of that recording.
What details are there to reveal? I mean, there are only so many Christmas songs out there. I assume Oh Holy Night will be on there…belt belt belt those notes! -
Susan Boyle ‘living on £300 a week’
Susan Boyle is apparently suffering a cash crisis, after her management restricted her ability to withdraw her earnings. The singer is living on just 300 pounds a week, despite a 10-million-pound royalties pot, guarded by her managers.
Boyle is not allowed to withdraw extra cash from the bank and she cannot even buy furniture for her new home. SuBo even cannot use a credit card; she is forced to shop for dresses at Tesco and travel by bus.
