Susan Boyle checks into London clinic suffering from 'emotional exhaustion'

The frumpy pop sensation Susan Boyle was checked into a London clinic Sunday suffering from "emotional exhaustion," British papers reported.

Boyle, 48, the Scottish church employee who became an international YouTube phenomenon, ranted "I hate this show" after her disappointing loss in a television talent show Saturday.

Paramedics and police were called to help the "spaced-out" star through a hotel lobby early Sunday, according to the Sun newspaper.

Newspapers said she was taken to the private Priory Clinic in London, but management would not confirm or deny that the star was being treated there.

A "Britain's Got Talent" spokeswoman said last night Boyle was "exhausted and emotionally drained" from Saturday's show. The newspapers reported that Boyle ran down a corridor shouting, "I hate this show," after her defeat and said she threw a cup of water on a floor manager who tried to calm her down.

Ticket machines on Tube upgraded with 17 languages

Ticket machines on the London Underground (LU) have been upgraded to operate in 17 different languages.

Some of the touch-screen machines were already available in six languages - English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

From today, all machines in every station will also have Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Urdu, Polish, Punjabi, Tamil, and Turkish.

More than 300 languages are spoken in total in London.

Kulveer Ranger, Transport Director to the Mayor of London, said: "Boosting the number of languages on our ticket machines is just another step in making life easier for those who live in, or travel through, the capital.

It would give many people added confidence, help maintain London as a city that supports its cultural diversity and would also improve tourists' visits to the city."
