Professional bullshit artist psychic and non-clipper of fingernails Sylvia Browne will be appearing in a three-episode arc on the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless starting December 7. Browne will be playing herself. There's no word on what exactly her role will entail, and I won't know afterward either, because I'm not going to watch the damn thing. Still, I have to say that placing Browne in a fictional setting does kind of make sense, considering everything that comes out of her mouth is fiction anyway.

Taylor,
Randi has long history debunking psychic frauds.
If you are interested in his history with Browne, see here:

I think it's more terminal exasperation than bitterness. It's like when your kitchen is infested with fruit flies.

I would think she would be appearing on the show to figure out who really killed Carmen Mesta. Although I don't need a psychic to tell me it was Ji Minh.

Kendra, here's a link to a website I found that has a lot of links to various support resources on the web for teens in situations like yours. Good luck.

Adam,
What a shame. You probably know nothing about Sylvia! As a writer, your priority should be RESEARCH and EXPERIENCE FIRST! You come across as a professional jargon/bullshit artist and a dumb one at that! If you were smart, you would at least demand a free reading! Do yourself a favor and study up on energy fields and mind power. While your at it, pray a bit! Downplaying her abilities just to be cool or funny is lame and SO 6th grade! Stop embarrassing yourself and your spirit guide!
