"Sinead O&amp;#039;Connor has admitted that negative press attention has led her to consider suicide in the past. The singer opened up after receiving a mixed response to a blog on her official website, in which the &amp;#039;Nothing Compares 2 U&amp;#039; star complained about her lack of sexual activity.  In a post titled &amp;#039;Is Sinead about to hump her truck?&amp;#039; she told fans: &amp;quot;My sh*t-uation sexually/affectionately speaking is so dire that inanimate objects are starting to look good as are inappropriate and/or unavailable men and/or inappropriate and/or unavailable fruits and vegetables. &amp;quot;Needless to say what I do for a living makes it hard for me to find men that only want me cuz they like my (legendary) arse. Yet I am in the peak of my sexual prime and way too lovely to be living like a nun. and it&amp;#039;s VERY depressing.&amp;quot; She proceeded to detail her ideal &amp;quot;sweet, sex-starved&amp;quot; man, which included requirements such as, &amp;quot;Must not be named Brian or Nigel&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Must be blind enough to think I&amp;#039;m gorgeous&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Has to be employed. Am not fussy in what capacity generally but vehicle clampers need not apply&amp;quot;. Concluding her message, O&amp;#039;Connor quipped: &amp;quot;I must end now as I have a hot date with a banana.&amp;quot;      The 44-year-old later confirmed that she had accepted a &amp;quot;kind invitation&amp;quot; from Ryan Tubridy to guest on his Irish chatshow. However, updating her blog today, O&amp;#039;Connor informed fans that she had decided to pull out after being &amp;quot;enormously&amp;quot; wound up by &amp;quot;rude, patronising, insulting and disrespectful&amp;quot; questions asked by a male researcher. &amp;quot;It is sickening to have it suggested by anyone that I am &amp;#039;insane&amp;#039; for talking openly about sex. The researcher said to me that since I suffer from depression do I not think it&amp;#039;s insane behaviour to be talking publicly about sex,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I will never as long as I live, consider appearing on The Late Late Show again.  &amp;quot;And I might add that no apology or act of respect has been issued by either the presenter of the show, nor any one in a leading position on the show. I am tired of all this &amp;#039;Sinead is crazy&amp;#039; crap. It&amp;#039;s a disgrace. It has caused me enormous pain in my life as an artist and has many times led me to consider ending my life.  &amp;quot;Thankfully I have four beautiful reasons not to. Those are my precious children. But no woman should have to walk around feeling like someone has driven a tree through her heart. I can honestly say that is how I felt since my conversation with the Late Late researcher.&amp;quot; O&amp;#039;Connor concluded: &amp;quot;We are still the same old squinting windows Ireland, the type which had women like me in industrial schools. When u start to feel good about ur self, sure enough someone will come and stomp all over your heart with their steel-toed docs, and tell u u deserved it. We are a country which should be spelled without the letter &amp;#039;O&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Sinead O&amp;#039;Connor: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;d go on X Factor&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
