Pete Burns to marry Michael Simpson
Fresh from his big stint in the Big Brother Celebrity UK house, Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns has announced that he's tying the knot with his partner Michael Simpson. For those who watched Big Brother, Burns always had a photo of Simpson attached to his person throughout the series. The couple showed off their identical diamante skull rings - designed by Vivienne Westwood - live on Richard and Judy's show (pictured). Regarding the rings Burns explained, "It symbolises that underneath all this there is bone and underneath that is soul." On the show Burns also told the world, "I lost him a lifetime ago and I've been looking for him ever since. He's a physical part of me." It's enough to make a person misty.
Willie Nelson has released a new song about the kind of love that happens between two men on the wide open range. The Texas country music icon says of "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other" that "the song's been in the closet for 20 years. The timing's right for it to come out. I'm just opening the door." Nelson recorded a song for the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, a melancholy ballad entitled "He Was a Friend of Mine."

Four years ago, South Korean superstar Harisu starred in an advertisement for a cosmetic company. In the ad, gazing at the camera, she laughed and tilted her head back to reveal an Adam’s apple - only the Adam’s apple had to be computer generated because hers had already been removed. The advertisement created a huge sensation, especially when Harisu went public with the fact that she is a transsexual, and she's been on the world map ever since. She's written two books – her autobiography "Harisu, Eve from Adam" and "Goddess of Metamorphosis," as well as become a recording artist and launched an acting career. Li Ee Kee

I know you're disappointed too, but it seems Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister of Motorhead is not bisexual after all. The rumor has been circulating for a few weeks, crediting VH1 as it's source, a fact I was completely unable to substantiate. I have kept an eye on the story though, cause he is rather hot in a rocker daddy Hell's Angel kind of way, not to mention all the other metal icons who've come out in recent years. Anyway, they claimed he had finally admitted he was bi. The story started 
Jim Verraros, the only openly gay American Idol contestant thus far, from the first season for those who don't remember, has hit the Billboard dance chart with his single "You Turn It On." The album is pretty suggestive too. Verraros says, "There's one called 'So Deep' that goes 'I wanna go so deep and hurt so good and I wanna be so bad.' People have been e-mailing me about that song because they're like, 'I didn't realize you were that sexual!'"
The feud between George Michael and Elton John has come to an end. I know, we're a little disappointed too, but Michael did have John over for an extra special dinner prepared by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey and Ramsey did alll the cooking while the pair laughed themselves silly. Perhaps they were recalling the time John told the press that George smoked too much blow because of a “deep-rooted unhappiness in his life." Or maybe they were laughing about the time George said John was living on yesterday's hits. Whatever the case, although John had previously tried to make up and George had ignored his phone calls, evidence of the truce can be found, of course, in John's agreement to let George to use their duet 1991 hit "Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me" on George's upcoming duets album, due out later this year.
