Cher still gets her pronouns confused when it comes to her female-to-male transgendered son, Chaz Bono. Regardless, Chaz made one of his first public appearances this week since having gender reassignment surgery, at the premiere of his mama’s new movie, “Burlesque.” With his girlfriend on his arm.

Ack! My head is exploding! Here’s a clip of “Burlesque” star Christina Aguilera singing “I Am A Good Girl” about how she gets her Chanel dress, her YSL shoes, Dior purse and other goodies from being, duh, “a good girl.” Ugh. Burlesque performers aren’t whores, you know. (Nothing against whores, I’m just sayin’ that Dita Von Teese probably would not appreciate her line of work being compared to a prostitute and/or kept woman.) Please, please, puh-leeze don’t butcher burlesque for me, Xtina! [YouTube] Keep reading »
Dear Christina Aguilera,
Mariah here. You know me as multi-platinum zillion-selling recording artist Mariah Carey, but you can just call me Mimi. Me and a few of the S&M crew (that’s singing and movies crew, guys!) wanted to reach out to you because we heard you had a new movie coming out, called “Burlesque.”
First: Soooooo sorry about Lady Gaga stealing your whole kooky blonde lady steez — we heard you had to cancel a bunch of dates on your last tour because you just couldn’t get it together. No worries, mama.
But back to “Burlesque.” Keep reading »
We thought it a bit strange Perrier would hire burlesque star Dita Von Teese as a sexy spokeswoman, but now we get it. Anyone else would make a brisk rinse-off in Perrier just look silly! (This video is pretty tame, but probably NSFW.) [PerrierByDita.com] Keep reading »
We asked you last week to tell us how you like to tease and entice your partner for a chance to win a copy of The Burlesque Handbook by Jo Weldon. And I just have to say that you all made me seriously sorry I have no sex life. That being said, I did learn a few tips from the three winners. Check out their advice after the jump. Keep reading »
Headmistress Jo Weldon, aka Jo Boobs, gave us a few tips for giving a sexy striptease earlier this month. But a burlesque show is so much more than taking off your clothes. You’ve got to entice, tease, and maybe deliver. That’s why she’s written The Burlesque Handbook, a classy how-to for anyone looking to spice things up … or take on a side job. The guide touches on classic and neo-burlesque, but you’ll also learn about the fabulous makeup and costumes. Now all you need to do is come up with a sexy pin-up name. [Barnes&Noble]
WIN THIS! We’re giving away three copies of The Burlesque Handbook, but you have to work if you want one. In the comments, tell us how you like to tease and entice your partner by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, June 24. We’ll pick our favorite response and announce the winner Friday, June 25. You must live in the U.S. or Canada to win. Good luck!
Burlesque superstar Jo Boobs has been wowing audiences and teaching eager exhibitionists, like myself and Margaret Cho, with her amazing va-va-voom skills.

This week, Ms. Boobs’ opus, The Burlesque Handbook, hits shelves. It’s everything you need to know to take your partner to striptease heaven.
