Channel 4 reporter tries "to keep it up"

PinkNews.co.uk founder Benjamin Cohen went along to the launch of the Wii fit today. His trial of the hula hoop game was rather funny

Yaris is a gay car, gay car, gay car

Those nice people at US website gaywheels.com have produced a list of the cars their readers are most interested in.

They searched their sever logs and found out that gay motorists can't get enough of the Toyota Yaris. Make of that what you will. 

The full top 10:

1. Toyota Yaris
2. Saab 9-3 (sedan and convertible)
3. Mazda MX-5
4. Volkswagen Jetta
5. VW EOS
6. Dodge Caliber
7. Toyota Camry
8. Audi A3
9. VW Rabbit
10. Infiniti FX

Here at PinkNews.co.uk, our favourite car is a taxi.

Gaywheels.com made the following sober assessment of the Yaris:

"The 2007 Yaris continues Toyota's tradition of offering affordable, reliable cars over a wide range of the automotive market, and it represents a big leap forward in styling over its ancestor, the Echo.

"A four-door sedan is available in base and S trims, with the S adding a 60/40 split rear seat, a rear defroster, and a stereo system with a CD player.

"A three-door hatchback is equipped similarly to the S, except with daytime running lights, different instrumentation, and a shorter wheelbase.

"It also lays claim to being the least expensive Toyota sold in America. Both the three- and four-door models use a 1.5L four-cylinder engine that is tuned more for economy than power. The car's 106 horsepower do an adequate job of acceleration."

S trims? 6o/40 split? What?

LEAST expensive? Economic? "Adequate" acceleration? What is going on?

"Power conveniences, remote keyless entry, anti-lock brakes, air bags all around, an alarm system, and a rear spoiler are available, as are a number of post production options."

Aaah accessories. That's more like it!

Some people in Bermuda love gays

A delightful woman called Michele Lawrence has contacted PinkNews.co.uk with pictures of a mini-demonstration she and her daugher arranged in support of gay tourists visiting her home of Bermuda.

"After the Rosie O'Donnell-sponsored (gay family) cruise pulled out of a proposed stop in Bermuda several weeks ago because the churches had threatened to demonstrate against them, my daughter Freya was outraged enough to start a group on Facebook to discuss it," she writes.

"There was a story in a local newspaper saying a small group of gay travellers with the tour group Pied Piper would be arriving last weekend and I suggested, somewhat in jest, that we should go out and stage an anti-protest protest.

"I then forgot all about it until last Thursday, when Freya said, "well, are we going to do it?" So we decided to, had a great time doing it, met some nice people and made a small gesture that made us feel like we were doing something to help convince people that not everyone in Bermuda agrees with the churches."

God bless you madam!

George's £750K Topshop gig

Retail billionaire Sir Philip Green is going to pay gay crooner George Michael £750K to play at his birthday celebrations. 

Sir Philip is planning to push the boat out for his  55th birthday - he is flying 100 guests to the Maldives and has also got singer Ricky Martin to appear.

For George, this is just the latest in a string of highly-paid private gigs.

The singer saw in the New Year in the company of 300 guests of an un-named Russian billionaire, peforming an hour-long concert at the oligarch’s mansion near Moscow. He was paid £1.5m for his trouble.
