Sinead O’Connor is getting married tomorrow – wasn’t she just looking for a man?


The last I remember reporting on Sinead O’Connnor, she was taking applicants for sex partners over her website. In August she wrote that she was so horny that vegetables were starting to look sexy and that she was seeking a hairy stud who would screw her properly. She was actually much more explicit than that. On October 21 she wrote that she’d found a successful applicant, and then yesterday she blogged that she was getting married to him! She told an Irish radio station that she was flying to Vegas with the guy to make it official. They haven’t been together two months yet, but she’s overjoyed and is ready to marry her fourth husband. Sinead will be 45 tomorrow and she has four children from four different fathers. They range in age from about 25 to 4. She’s had her tubes tied, though, so she won’t be having any more kids. Here’s more:

SINEAD O’Connor is to marry her fourth husband in Las Vegas tomorrow. The controversial singer announced the news on RTE radio today on her way to the airport to catch a flight.

She wrote on her website that she is to marry her ‘beloved boyfriend’ Barry Herridge tomorrow – her 45th birthday.

She said it was her ‘dream wedding ceremony’ and described herself as ‘very happy girl’.

The mother-of-four looked for love very publically recently with a campaign to find a man online, on Twitter and on the Late Late show.

Her fourth husband is believed to be an addiction counsellor for children.

She spoke to John Murray on his RTE show today about her wedding plans.

She told the Sunday Independent last month that she wouldn’t rule out a fourth marriage but definitely wouldn’t be having any more children, after having a tubal ligation procedure at Beaumont Hospital in recent weeks.

“I’ve spent my adult life either, trying, or not trying, to get pregnant so I had my tubes done. Anyway, I’m a basketcase when I’m pregnant, so for a successful relationship that can’t happen,” she added.

The singer split with third husband Steve Cooney in March, after eight months.

However, she described all of her three husbands — which also include music producer John Reynolds and journalist Nick Sommerland — as “very nice people” who have never asked for anything in settlements.

“I think they were all just glad to see the back of me,” she laughed.

She generated huge publicity by her public search for love and her admissions that she wanted a man and missed sex desperately.

There’s more in that article about how she’s coming off bipolar medication and was able to lose 28 pounds (2 stone) as a result. She claims she was “mistakenly diagnosed as being bi-polar.” People with bipolar disorder often show impulsive behavior. Looking for random sex online and then marrying someone after just a few weeks would certainly qualify as impulsive. Well, congratulations to her and good luck. Maybe she found a good one in this addiction counselor dude.

Here she is performing with Gavin Friday on 11/29 in Dublin and with Debbie Harry on 10/27 in LA. Credit: WENN.com The header photo is of Sinead and her fiance.

    I wish she’d grow hair again. She isn’t aging well and it would probably soften her look..

  2. ShanKat says:

    What could *possibly* go wrong?

    That might be the worst phone pic ever. Is she famous for anything other than being a one-hit-wonder-headcase?

  3. JaneWonderfalls says:

    I thought Sinead was a lesbian? Was it all for attention. Now she’s looking for meat and now she’s engaged to a man. She’s weird. She seems mentally unstable for real.

  4. whatevs says:

    bitch is bipolar as hell. she needs to stop deluding herself and start taking her meds. she keeps fighting and then loving the same people over and over. her mom, the pope, u2, her exes… yes i followed her history closely as i used to be a fan. now not so much because she can’t even sing anymore due to all that smoking and the only thing she was good for is also gone. i give this 5 months. she seems like a very co-dependent girl. who seems to be addicted to men or something. take your meds sinead you really honestly need them. good luck on this marriage.

  5. Oenix says:

    There are lot cheaper and more temporary birthday presents a girl could give herself. But HEY!!!!

  6. annaloo. says:

    Is this what a female version of midlife crisis looks like? I don’t know, but you go Sinead…get yours!

  7. mollie says:

    Thank goodness she shaved her head again. Looks so much better than the frumpy mom style she had going a few months ago. yeesh.

  8. Elina says:

    Someone get this woman a wig STAT! Yikes!

  9. PyCaramel says:

    In that first pic she is the spitting image of my sister’s former sugar daddy.

  10. WildONE says:

    I’m just really happy to hear about the tubes being tied! That five-head with that cheekbone/jawline structure combined would be cartoonishly grotesque!

  11. TrollyDolly says:

    She is an iconic figure to me, she spoke about clerical sex abuse and rape of children and cover-ups by the Roman Catholic church in the early 90s, long before it became mainstream news. She is a very brave woman. She had a terrible childhood and clearly carries the scars. SHe deserves to find love and happiness and great sex. Go Sinéad!!!

  12. spinner says:

    I just love her!! How much further over the top can she go??

  13. Eve says:

    He could lend her a little bit of his forehead. That would balance things out.

  14. Denise says:

    The real story here is that Sinead used to be hot……

  15. Cait says:

    Wow, there are a lot of harsh comments here. I guess it is cele-BITCHY, but seriously!
    She is an amazing singer, not a one-hit wonder. I’m old, and when I was 15, she totally redefined cool for me. A breath of fresh air.
    Also, not that it should matter, but she was breathtakingly gorgeous when she was younger, and now she’s older, like a regular human.
    I think she’s still cute, and prefer her look to some anorexic, bleachy, botoxy pathetic headcase who’s trying desperately to cling to fleeting youth.

    • pennyfeather says:

      She was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! i love her and her music! She was the bomb when I was 12. I’d have her tape on reverse auto play all night! I think that’s what it was called 🙂

    • Becky says:

      I’m “old” too-she was at the height of her fame when I was a senior in high school. She really was beautiful back then and totally rocked the bald look. She’s such a talented lady and could have had a much bigger career than she did. Have to say, though, it really sounds like she has Bipolar Disorder.

  16. Granger says:

    You’d think this guy would take a step back once he realized that not only is he going to be husband #4, but also that he’s marrying her just nine months after her latest divorce.

  17. SkyNet says:

    Ugh she’s gross. She needs to grow her hair back out and get a stylist and a bath.

    I think she is bi-polar. People that are do crazy and random things. She fits right in with the diagnosis. Poor dude, and poor kids.

  18. Cathy says:

    Her soon to be 4th husband has a Frankenstein head. Look how his forehead sticks out

  19. Nev says:

    she’s kooky eh?

  20. NM9005 says:

    Yeah what a stud.

    Somebody should really help her, going from public suicidal rants, to openly applicating for a sex partner, admitting a liking in anal (veggie + anal = bad visual) and then getting married. I wonder about the sanity of the dude…

  21. whatevs says:

    oh gawd the comments on d-list are choking me. here’s one of the best:

    ===================================
    “LMFAO! That is SO a Jimmy Neutron fivehead!

    It’s amazing how she went from the prettiest bald chick (ok a tie with Demi ) to….this fucking walrus assed gourd headed thing she’s turned into.

    I mean sweet lord what one head has in length the other makes up in width.

    Their babies head would be fucking EPIC!”

  22. Rook says:

    I wonder if they’ll be having butt-sex on the honeymoon? Wasn’t one of her requirements in her boy-toy advertisement that he must like butt-sex?

  23. Mairead says:

    I’m actually worried for her. You’d see her around when she lived in Dublin city centre and she was just normal. She’s spiralling and it’s sad that she can’t see this.

    As for her as an artist – she is one of the most gifted and knowledgeable singers of this and any generation. On her controversies – she was villified in Ireland for tearing up that photo. But she was vindicated in the end.

    One observation on this “marriage” however. Under Irish law I had thought that you needed to be legally separated and living apart for about 5 years to be granted a divorce. They got married “in Europe” so must have gotten divorced in the same way? She’s cutting it fine though.

  24. mookie says:

    SHE IS DAMN GROSS. don’t care what she did in the past but she’s just a sad has-been now looking for another shot at fame. tsk. crazy bitch!

  25. Charlotteanbella says:

    This is so random of her…good luck to her I guess

  26. MAMAKOWALSKA says:

    A little more hair, some moisturizer, and clothes that fit and are more age appropriate and I don’t think people would be so horrified when they see after 20 some years have passed without seeing her any time in between (as in my case).

    She seems wild eyed with happiness, so good for her.

  27. bagladey says:

    She looks awful, and that tattoo on her chest is just…. Oh well, smh.

  28. marie says:

    Can You say “crazy” Sinead was just hunting for a man and she got one. Isn’t this her 5th marriage already and doesn’at she have 4 kids??? She is butt U***!

  29. I would like to vote for Rebecca also. She is a great mother, wife, daughter, and friend. She takes the time to help others whenever she can. She deserves a day for herself.
