<p>Thankfully, Susan Boyle seems to be recovering following her recent <a target="_blank" href="http://www.popsugar.com/3227894">hospitalization for exhaustion</a>.</p>
<p>Celebrity watchers remain deeply concerned about her, however, because of her new susceptibility to celebrity-born diseases.</p>
<p>Susan Boyle’s condition is known as <em>Celebrity Exhaustion Syndrome</em> (CES). While some medical experts <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2170652"></a>question the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.slate.com/id/2170652/">validity of CES</a>, most now agree that CES is a growing problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced that CES has now reached a phase 5 on the pandemic alert scale.</p>
<p>After doing extensive research on the subject myself, I found this <a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=111065&amp;title=a-listless">informative educational video</a> about CES that non-celebrities may find helpful.</p>
<p>While CES previously has been considered a disease only infecting the Famous, Susan Boyle is a clear example that it may cross over to the general population at any time. Fortunately, Celebrity Exhaustion Syndrome may be avoided by taking a few simple precautions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do not appear in concert or on television. Ever.</li>
<li>Avoid excessive success, following Almostgotit&#8217;s example instead.</li>
<li>If possible, carry a small animal with you at all times. Paris Hilton developed an extreme resistance to CES by taking this very simple measure.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember: while the rest of us may suffer from ordinary depression, drug addiction, or psychotic episodes, Celebrity Exhaustion is far more serious.*</p>
<p>Sufferers from CES often require costly treatment at highly-specialized clinics located in the Malibu area. </p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20283706,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines">Because of her recent shopping spree</a>, however, Susan Boyle may not be able to afford such care.</p>
<p><em><strong>Almostgotit is asking for your help.</strong></em> Following the example of such humanitarians as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/42584e27a4/mad-tv-telethon-for-celebrity-exhaustion-from-thaffner">Whitney, Bobby and Angelina</a>, please give to the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10693385/">Celebrity Exhaustion Fund</a> today, and please give generously.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<em>* Important Note: Celebrity Exhaustion Syndrome, though far more serious than any ailment suffered by a non-celebrity, still carries no stigma whatsoever.</em></p>
