>> Lips Inc 2 <<

Is Pete wearing his stomach on his face?

Pete Burns claims that his remarkable lips are made from foetus penises. "It's a thing called Alloderm, which is the foreskins off unborn babies," he told Bent magazine.

Mystery solved? Not quite. Popbitch's medical expert says Alloderm is a filler made from cadaver skin or skin taken from another site on the patient's body, usually used on burns victims. Dr Dawny says "It is impossible for Pete's lips to be made of harvested foreskins as they would be rejected by his immune system."

A friend of Burns tells us that the tissue used in the lips was in fact taken from
Pete's stomach...

FYI: the same friend claims that Pete's famous coat is made from Colobus monkeys, not gorillas. The name colobus means "mutilated one", which refers
to the fact that the monkey has four fingers but no thumb. Some African tribes use colobus monkey fur to make ceremonial robes.

FYI: Pete Burns' chosen CBB charity is Mermaids, a support group for teens with gender identity issues.

South park goads Tom "litigious" Cruise

South Park had a new episode pulled from British TV. Trapped In The Closet involved Tom Cruise locking himself in Stan's closet, with the phrase "Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet" repeated 28 times during the show.

At one point, ex-wife Nicole Kidman was portrayed trying to coax him out, saying, "It's time for you to come out of the closet, Tom. You're not fooling anyone." The final line of the show is Tom telling the "South Park" kids "I'm gonna sue you! I'm gonna sue you in England!"
