Thinking manâ€™s pop star Mika has revealed heâ€™s received a death threat over his sexuality.

The singer refused to discuss whether heâ€™s gay or not, preferring to let his camp pop do the talking â€“ but such a stance has made some fans furious.

He reveals, â€œI get hate messages all the time, even a death threat. It was over whether I am gay or not. (A fan) wasn’t happy that I won’t talk about my personal life like that.

“Sometimes I think that I have made it, other times it is a bit worrying.â€

The recent death of Anna Nicole Smith got me thinking of the glamour girls of the past. Under every pair of tight fitting hip-huggers, every pair of cowgirl boots or mukluks, there lies a little bit of the movie vamp inside every girl. Underneath our t-shirts is a tight dressed, stiletto heeled vixen just waiting to jump into a tit clenching bustier, outrageously extravagant heels and saunter through a room while every male stops in mid-sentence and completely loses his train of thought.

It seems like there are so few of the real glamour girls left now. The tragic, dramatic, flying towards the runway at the speed of sound with no landing gear glamour girls. Jayne Mansfield. Marilyn Monroe. Tabloid fodder and outrageous sexuality were their trademarks. Their stars burned bright and fast; super nova, apocalyptic beauties. (more…)

Why Do We Care?

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is having a hysterectomy.

She’s the wife of my future monarch, and as such I really sincerely wish her all the best. At the same time, I can’t help but wonder why we need to know this — and why it’s getting so much media attention.

Yes, Camilla is a celebrity, and so she’s going to draw attention. But would she be getting so much attention, I wonder, if she was having her appendix out? Is a hysterectomy in and of itself simply more sensationalistic, more newsworthy, more interesting than any other -ectomy? If it were some rare operation, or at least something less common — a splenectomy, for example — I would understand. But according to the CDC, over 30% of all women aged 60+ here in the States have had a hysterectomy.

I know sex sells, but — and if you read this, Camilla, please forgive me — a 60-year old woman not known primarily for her sex appeal having her uterus cut out might technically be sex-related, but one would hardly call it sexy (except to a small and, in my happy experience, purely hypothetical portion of the population, natch).

So why do we care?
