Ive told her to change her name, Sinead told Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the amfAR AIDS benefit in Los Angeles on Thursday night. The protective mom added that she told her teenager who acts and sings that if she does pursue a career in musical theater, she can go so far as to slam Sinead herself. We have it worked out cause Im always worried, will she get any [grief] because shes my daughter? So I always tell her the trick is to tell everyone she hates me. Just say, Oh my God! Shes a monster, and then shell be grand, Sinead added. While she knows her daughter can sing, Sinead admitted she hopes her teen never tries out for The X Factor, especially in the UK, where Take That singer Gary Barlow serves as a judge. Hes really horrible to people. He looks at people really horribly like when they come on and Id be worried about putting her in that, she said. I dont think shed wanna do that anyway, Sinead continued. She doesnt wanna be a pop star or famous. Shes actually really shy. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.
