Singer Susan Boyle greets photographers outside her home in Scotland, where she walked in on an intruder Tuesday night.
Singing sensation Susan Boyle said Wednesday that she felt fine despite a break-in by a teenager at her home in Scotland, British media reported.
Boyle, who shot to international stardom on the back of her appearance on a TV talent show last spring, saw a youth run out from her home in the small Scottish village of Blackburn as she returned Tuesday night from recording a charity single for Haiti.
The singer appeared calm Wednesday, smiling and giving the thumbs up to well-wishers outside her house.
"I'm fine. It's in the hands of the police now," she told Britain's Press Association.
Police were called to Blackburn Tuesday night "following reports of a disturbance." They said an unidentified 16-year-old boy was detained, but has been released.
Boyle, 48, became an international sensation after a clip of her singing "I Dreamed a Dream" on "Britain's Got Talent" spread online and received more than 120 million views on YouTube. She released one of the year's top-selling albums in November.
Douglas' son pleads guilty
Michael Douglas' son pleaded guilty on Wednesday to dealing large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine while holed up in a trendy Manhattan hotel where he was arrested last year.
Cameron Douglas, 31, told a judge that a New York contact first asked him if he could score the drugs in 2006. After that, "I began supplying on a regular basis."
Prosecutors said Douglas had signed a plea agreement, but the details weren't disclosed.
In addition to conspiracy to distribute drugs, Douglas pleaded guilty to heroin possession.
He faces a minimum 10-year prison term at sentencing on April 27.
Cameron Douglas has acted in movies, including 2003's "It Runs in the Family," starring his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas.
He also was arrested in California in 2007 on cocaine possession charges. His attorney then said the arresting officer didn't do his job properly.
'Heroes' actor booked for DUI
"Heroes" TV actor Adrian Pasdar, 44, has been arrested for allegedly driving drunk on a West Los Angeles freeway.
A California Highway Patrol report says Pasdar was pulled over around 3 a.m. Wednesday after officers saw his Ford F-150 truck doing 94 mph, straddling two lanes.
He was taken to county jail and released on $15,000 bail. Pasdar plays Nathan Petrelli on NBC's "Heroes." He's married to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines.
