What part of the game is THIS?!?! Is Sinead O’Connor suicidal, or just desperate for attention? The Irish singer punched out dozens of tweets on Wednesday, begging her followers for ideas on how she could take her own life without hurting her children. “Had to go psychiatrist for routine renew prescription etc. She says I’m a bad mum and mental for talking so openly about sex in public,” the Nothing Compares 2 U singer wrote. “So now I wish suicide wud kill me.” O’Connor, 44, regularly turns to her Twitter account to express all sorts of bizarre thoughts — last month writing about how sexually deprived she is, but talking suicide takes things to a new level and has people close to her worried. “I want to go To heaven SO bad. Have for yrs. But I don’t wanna abandon my kids. But if I cud die without them knowing I did it myself I wud,” O’Connor continued. “If any1 knows how I can kill myself Without my kids finding out I did it deliberately pls tell me asa f**kin p.” This out of pocket to say the least. Sure, you have the right to say whatever your heart desires, but her children must be devastated that their mom is on Twitter talkin’ about offing herself without them knowing. SMH via RadarOnline

Another day, another tale of financial woe for a supposedly Real Housewife. Sources tell Radar Online that Adrienne Maloof and husband Paul Nassif are “cutting back on every aspect of her luxurious lifestyle” in light of recent fiscal problems. “Adrienne and Paul lead an extravagant life, but they’re having money troubles and are looking for ways to scale back their opulence,” the insider says . Due to the competition on these Bravo shows – who can throw the most ridiculous dinner party?!? – many Housewives have suffered through similar circumstances. Teresa Giudice has filed for bankruptcy , for example, and money problems contributed to the suicide of Russell Armstrong. Maloof and Nassif have been forced to “cut back on household staff,” this mole reports, as their “personal fortunes are dwindling.” Excuse us for a moment, while we find a violin to play in the couple’s honor.
Suicides in the United States appear to increase in hard times and decrease during years of prosperity, according to a new government report. The image of people jumping from windows after the stock market crash of 1929 graphically illustrates the pattern detected by researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The overall suicide rate rises and falls in connection with the economy,” said lead researcher Feijun Luo, a health economist in the division of violence prevention at the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. “The strongest association between business cycles and suicides was among working-age people 25 to 64 years old,” he said. Co-author Dr. Alexander E. Crosby, a medical epidemiologist in the division of violence prevention at the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, said economic hardship may trigger suicidal impulses in those already at risk of killing themselves. “Suicide results from an interaction of a number of different factors,” Crosby said. “Other studies have shown there is an association between suicide and unemployment, suicide and economic issues, and it can make vulnerable people more prone to be at risk for suicidal behavior,” he said. The report is published online April 14 in the American Journal of Public Health. The researchers found suicide rates spiked during the Great Depression (1929-1933), at the end of the New Deal (1937-1938), during the oil crisis of 1973-1975, and the double-dip recession of 1980-1982. But fewer people killed themselves during periods of economic expansion, such as the World War II years (1939-1945) and between 1991 and 2001, when the economy grew rapidly and unemployment was low. Commenting on the study, M. David Rudd, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Science at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, said that these “interesting findings confirm what many have been thinking from an anecdotal perspective over the last several years.” Rudd agreed that those most likely to kill themselves in bad economic times are those already at risk of suicide. “It’s fairly well established that upwards of 90% of those taking their own lives suffer from a diagnosable mental illness at the time, with the overwhelming majority not being in active treatment,” he said. The difference in impact across age groups is not a surprise, given that those hardest hit face the most pressing economic demands, Rudd added. The youngest and oldest groups probably experience relatively less economic pressure, he pointed out. “Prevention efforts need to focus on recognition and more effective response to psychiatric illness, particularly in primary care settings,” he said.

MOSCOW (AP) — The suicide bomber who killed 35 people at Moscow’s busiest airport was deliberately targeting foreigners, investigators said Saturday, which would mark an ominous new tactic by separatist militants in southern Russia if he was recruited by an Islamist terror cell.
