If Susan Boyle isn't the woman of the year we don't know who is.

She started 2009 as just a dowdy Scottish woman with a big voice on Britain's Got Talent, she became an internet sensation, and now her album is set to come out and she's already topping the charts. As of Friday afternoon, it's number one on Amazon beating out Whitney Houston's comeback album, and newly remastered Beatles CDs.

And it doesn't even come out until November 24th!

We have just one question. Looking at her album cover art (above left), does anyone else think it's awfully funny that she's not even pictured? Sure it looks classy, but much has been said about her makeover (above right). Does the record label think her picture won't sell CDs? So far, so good, we think. So let's not hide her!

Susan's portrait for Harper's Bazzar

I think the Harper's Bazzar portrait you have pictured would be a terrific album/cd cover!

not the cover art

That photo was taken during her photo shoot for Harper's Bazzar, it's not the cover picture. We haven't seen that yet.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
