Kevin Spacey's turn at Lambeth Town Hall

This piece of cheeky news is from scandalous website Popbitch:

"Confusion in Lambeth Town Hall council chamber last night as Kevin Spacey walked into the proceedings of the licensing committee.

"The three items under consideration at that particular session were applications for drinking licenses from a notorious Stockwell crackhouse, a gay sauna in Waterloo and a bar on the premises of The Old Vic.

"Attendees were on the edge of their seats as they waited to find out which application he would be supporting."

(FYI: It was for The Old Vic, obviously!)

Well done that drag queen - Iris mocked

We had to share this picture from the Belfast Telegraph:



The city's most famous drag queen showed up at a protest rally yesterday - read all about it here.

Take part in the politics sex survey!

Blogger Iain Dale says ....

"The purpose of this short poll is to get your views on what Nick Clegg said this week about his sexual conquests, and then to see how different party supporters compare in matters of the bedroom.

"Skip any question you don't wish to answer! I'll publish the results during the week. And don't worry, you can't be traced, so please do be honest!"

Interested?

Then simply CLICK HERE!

Get this comment from, well, the comments section, about the sex survey:

"My sense is that there is much more gay sex in politics (especially among Tories)-- often involving researchers, political advisers and lobbyists, than there is straight sex. Am I right -- or just jealous - although those are not mutually exclusive categories."

How odd.

Woman in leotard slams Mayor Ken

A 49-year-old American who lives in London has spoken out about the state of the capital's Tube network, despite the fact she travels almost everywhere by chauffeur-driven limo.

Madonna Ciccone, aka Mrs Guy Richie, is well-known for adopting photogenic African children who aren't orphans and for bringing the leotard back into fashion for middle-aged women such as herself.

Despite her embarrassing attempts to become a lady while in England, she still appears to not know to close her legs.

She launched a furious attack on the incumbent mayor of London, who is up for re-election this May.

"Will Ken Livingstone get my vote? No. The traffic in London is worse than ever now. All Red Ken wants is roadworks going on everywhere.

"Don't use the Tube; can't use the roads? No. I'll just have to walk I guess," she told Q magazine.

Well, at least in London a menopausal woman in a pink leotard can walk the streets without anyone caring! Or having her sectioned.

The Mayor's campaign has, of course, been thrown into complete disarray after this intervention from one of the world's most talented actresses. 

Her mastery of the English accent has brought many to tears and London voters are unhappy that the leotard queen cannot herself stand.

After all, her policies would be universally popular - who could disagree that this one would be vital to London's continued reputation as in international finance centre:

"I would make it so that young musicians, aspiring musicians wouldn't have to pay the congestion charge or pay taxes.

"They would be exempt from those kind of things so they would have more money to do other things."

Sensible policies for a happier Britain - and how about a special roadwork-free lane for limos while we are at it?

London residents have been beside themselves over rumours that Madonna may be on the brink of leaving her husband and the city and returning to New York.

What will we do without her constant bitching about everything from British builders to the British weather?

Tory MP has own theme song!

"Hey! Old Greg Knight's a winner through and through!"

It's not many politicians that can boast their very own song - East Yorkshire MP Greg Knight (58)  is a member of that exclusive club!

Only right for the Ringo in the House of Commons' very own Beatles.


See! Images of Greg going about his business! He supports farmers! He has met David Cameron! He likes post offices!

And hear!  Greg's very own theme tune - follow the link below.

Tony Blair naked in front of Ali

OK - I know The Alastair Campbell diaries were published in way back in July but I have been busy with other things.

Plus everyone said all the best bits had been censored or something like that. Imagine my surprise when I did finally sit down to read them.

Obviously, I was searching through the book for clues about Blair's two reasonably dishy sons, Nicky and Euan, when I found this Campbell revelation.

He went to chat with the First Lord of the Treasury and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on December 1st about press reports that dishy son No 1 was to be sent to a grant-maintained school.

"I went in to see TB, who was standing stark naked reading the Mail," wrote Mr Campbell.

Nude Daily Mail reading. You didn't get that under John Major.

How widespread was this nudie behaviour in Downing St? Why wasn't he at least wearing pants?

I guess we will have to wait for Cherie's book to find out.

Rufus Wainwright fancies Gordo

Yes, that headline is correct.

Canadian Judy Garland enthusiast Rufus has revealed to contactmusic.com that he is attracted to Gordon Brown, First Lord of the Treasury and Prime Minister.

The pair met in a TV studio and Rufus found the Scot, "really sexy."

The singer said that most women he knows feel the same.

While we at PinkNews.co.uk have the greatest respect for the PM, sexy was not the word we would use to describe him.

That being said, our David Miliband obsession is a  matter of public record.

Rufus, 34, also called the PM sweet, and admitted theirs was a brief encounter:

"We talked for about two seconds and I invited him to watch one of my performances."

Gordon Brown on The Simpsons

OK

This is soo cool.

I was getting a lil bit vexed with the amount of Simpsons movie-related nonsense I get sent on a daily basis.

Then I happened upon this gem - a site where you can submit a pic of yourself or indeed anyone and have it "Simpsonized."

Or, as we say in the land where English was totally invented, "Simpsonised."

But who to put through the process? Well above is the PM and below, for reasons of impartiality, here is David Cameron:

The programme did not seem to like any of the pics of Ming Campbell I had on file.

OH - and the site? Merely click here for hours of fun! But be warned, it takes AGES to complete the transformation.

Gay Tory reveals mayoral ambitions

He isn’t the Conservative Party’s candidate for the London Mayoral elections. Not yet anyway.  But last night, Nick Boles, former Director of the influential think tank Policy Exchange, told a large gathering of gay politicos at the popular social networking event, Village Drinks, why he thought he qualified for the position.

Speaking at a special event at the Arts Club on Dover Street, he was asked by Matthew Parris whether he was prepared for the media attention on his life which lies ahead as he tries to become Mayor.

He happily told the crowd that all of the skeletons in his closet were “dancing in the street” – but, when asked what they were exactly, he couldn’t quite remember!    

The speech was warmly received and the reaction of the audience indicates that Nick well be one to watch. 

Village Drinks meanwhile is riding a wave of popularity.  Their next event is at the CC Club on Wed 27^th June and rumour is afoot that they are due to launch a new website ...
