Sinead O'Connor: I Was Only Joking...
Irish songstress Sinead O’Connor came under fire a few weeks ago when she took to Twitter to announce that she would perform a "bloodbath" if Pope Benedict XVI visited Ireland.
"Young people of Ireland I love u' said Sinead as she pulled the [f**king] trigger," the artist tweeted, referencing the famous words of John Paul II, which he uttered in his 1979 pilgrimage to Ireland.
But O’Connor is changing her tune, insisting that her words were all in innocent humor.
“That was just nonsense. Come on! See, that's the trouble with Twitter, you know, people take it too seriously and they say, 'Oh, you're looking for attention,' but it's them following you and you didn't ask them to follow you,” she told FOX411’S Pop Tarts column at amfAR’s Inspiration Gala Los Angeles, a celebration of men’s style, to benefit the Foundation’s AIDS research programs.
“So it just got to a joke between me and my mate … I was joking about how I'd meet him at the airport with my AK but obviously I wouldn't or couldn't."
