Who Are the Top 10 Insta-Celebrities?
Everybody gets their 15 minutes of fame, right? Well, some peeps get even more.
Whether you're a total unknown like Ted Williams and Susan Boyle or a seasoned pageanteer like Carrie Prejean, nothing preps you for instant celebrity status.
So check out which common folk the public has welcomed with open arms—and the trainwrecks, too.
Susan Boyle on The View: O Holy Crap!
It sure seemed like Susan Boyle, that lovable lil' bundle from Britain, could do no wrong. The unlikely lass has gone from unknown village warbler to international singing sensation, all the way to the stage of The View this very morning.
But right there on live TV, amid enough stage fog to choke a moor, Boyle delivered a big throaty lump of coal on the cherished Christmas classic "O Holy Night."
Apparently she was unaware that this was live, spontaneous and real. Unlike American Idol.
Betty White is the New Justin Bieber, for Now
Just as the world sat down after giving a standing ovation to Betty White's hilarious Saturday Night Live hosting gig, it got right back up on its feet again for the latest Susan Boyle wannabe, Janey Cutler, on Britain's Got Talent.
I knew we were onto something when we ran our "50 is the new 20" Sex and the City 2 piece, but, jeez, is 80 really the new 20? Or rather, the new 16, all Justin Bieber-style?
Could Lin Yu Chin Be the Next Susan Boyle?
Remember when Susan Boyle busted into "I Dreamed a Dream" on Britain's Got Talent and shocked the world?
That was so five minutes ago!
Meet Lin Yu Chin, a contestant on Taiwan's Super Star Avenue, the nation's equivalent to American Idol. What he lacks in visual appeal—assuming a harsh bowl haircut and red bowtie aren't your thing—he makes up for in soul.
Boy's rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" kills!
Needless to say, the rising YouTube star is still in the running for the $1 million prize.

Remember when Susan Boyle competed in the Biathlon?
Susan Boyle's Teen Burglar Busted
She's fielded a marriage proposal (kind of), turned Adam Lambert (not like that), and witnessed justice being served (no qualifiers necessary!). All in all, a pretty full week for Susan Boyle.
A teenage boy was arrested and charged this morning after breaking into Casa SuBo earlier this year. The break-in went down in late January, when Boyle returned from a highly publicized trip away to record Simon Cowell's Haiti charity single.
See what happens when you try to do good, kids?
"A 16-year-old youth has been arrested and charged in connection with a theft that happened at a property in Yule Terrace, Blackburn, on 26 January," a spokesman for the local police confirmed.
Since the allegedly sticky-fingered supect is a minor, his identity has not been revealed, though he has been ordered to report to the Children's Reporter, the Scottish government's program for troubled or at-risk children.

SuBo was getting vindication, but elsewhere in the U.K. Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were making some serious eyes at each other. See what else has gone down abroad in our Global Party Pics gallery!
Susan Boyle Boils Over, Blames Heat for Airport Fainting
We build 'em up, gravity knocks 'em down.
According to the British tabloids, Susan Boyle fainted at London's Heathrow Airport on Tuesday, when she was waiting to board a flight en route to Nice.
So what went down? Other than, you know, SuBo.
