ANNOYING ENGLISH CHICK USES ANTIQUE VIBRATOR
Ah, the life of a pop star. From FemaleFirst.co.uk...
Emma Bunton has confessed that fellow Spice Girl Mel B once gave her a giant vibrator - and she still uses it regularly.
The former Baby Spice, who revealed she lost her virginity at 16, also admitted that she finds women attractive - but insisted she wasn't a "lesbian".
She told US shock jock Howard Stern: "Mel gave me a vibrator - I still use it.
"I do find women attractive, but I'm not a lesbian."
The sexy singer was appearing on Stern's chat show to promote her new album, 'Free Me', and insiders say her revelations shocked him.
One said: "All the crew were shocked to hear what Emma came out with live on air. Even Howard was a little overwhelmed by the saucy revelations - especially the fact she fancies other girls.
"But he was quite disappointed when she said she'd never fool around with any of the other Spice Girls. I think it's a secret fantasy of a lot of hot-blooded guys out there."
However, the 29-year-old beauty did admit that she and the rest of the award-winning band once streaked down the hall of a hotel during their American tour in 1998.

MORE AVN AWARDS SELF CONGRATS
We're still getting these releases, and so we pass them on...
CANOGA PARK, Calif. — Mercenary Pictures owner Lexington Steele
congratulated Vanessa Blue as the first Black female director to
receive an award from AVN.
Blue, under the name Domina X, directed volumes 2, 3 and 4 of the Black
Reign series, AVN's winner for Best Ethnic-Themed Series, for Mercenary
Pictures.
"Vanessa is one of the best directors and videographers shooting in the
US today," Steele said. "The mainstream adult media, which routinely
ignores black women, recognized her directorial efforts and it speaks
volumes as to her ability. Her having been recognized as a director is
historic and makes her a pioneer for other aspiring ethnic directors."
Blue, who is also an accomplished editor and is the Webmaster for
vanessablue.com and femdomx.com, said, "I appreciate the opportunity
presented to me by Mercenary Pictures to showcase ethnic women in the
same way as their counterparts. I hope this encourages other companies
to see us as women, and not as colors."
Steele added that though it was Blue's first AVN Award, it assuredly
won't her last.
"The Black Reign series strives to showcase the sexuality of women of
ethnic decent," he said. "Vanessa Blue, as Domina X, employs the
highest caliber of production and videography, and places herself
firmly among the best directors in the industry."

about doing the show. There are a lot of kinky folks in the transgender and
cross dressing community, and we wanted to reach out and give them something
to celebrate," said Moyes on Monday. "We talked to the folks at Threshold,
and agreed that it was time for something different and fun."
Moyes is not the only Y-artist in the show. Collette Zastrow of Sissify.com
will be displaying not only her own work, but also representing artists Chas
and Shree Swifty. Two X-artists will be displaying transgender art. Mistress
Van Doren and Mistress Absynthe will have their own rooms to display their

GAY CARTOONS: FIRST SPINGEBOB, NOW BUSTER
When I was a kid there was Snagglepuss ("Exit, stage right!"). He was so flamingly gay that he was pink. Nobody ever complained as far I can recall. From the New York Times...
ayne Godwin, chief operating officer of PBS, got a bit tangled as he tried to explain the PBS stance on gay characters appearing on children's television shows.
"In fairness I would have to say a gay character is not one we would not include," he said, and then clarified. "The fact that a character may or may not be gay is not a reason why they should or should not be part of this series."

Yet on Tuesday PBS decided not to distribute to its roughly 350 PBS stations an episode of "Postcards From Buster," which was scheduled for Feb. 2 and included lesbian mothers, even though a few days earlier PBS officials, among them PBS's president, Pat Mitchell, viewed the episode and called it appropriate. That was before Education Secretary Margaret Spellings denounced the program, starring Buster Baxter, a cute animated rabbit who until now has been known primarily as a close friend of Arthur, the world's most famous aardvark. Ms. Spellings said many parents would not want children exposed to a lesbian life style.
Buster joined another cartoon character, SpongeBob SquarePants, as a focus of the nation's culture wars. SpongeBob was recently attacked by Christian groups for being pro-homosexual, though SpongeBob's creator said it was all a misinterpretation. Buster's offense was appearing in "Sugartime!," the undistributed "Postcards From Buster" show, in which he visits children living in Vermont whose parents are a lesbian couple. Civil unions are allowed in Vermont.
"Postcards From Buster" is a spinoff of "Arthur" that combines live action and animation and went on the air a year ago. In the series, aimed at young elementary schoolchildren, Buster travels to 24 different states with his father and sends video postcards home.
Buster appears briefly onscreen, but mainly narrates these live-action segments, which show real children and how they live. One episode featured a family with five children, living in a trailer in Virginia, all sharing one room. In another, Buster visits a Mormon family in Utah. He has dropped in on fundamentalist Christians and Muslims as well as American Indians and Hmong. He has shown the lives of children who have only one parent, and those who live with grandparents.
Marc Brown, creator of "Arthur" and "Postcards From Buster," said in a statement: "I am disappointed by PBS's decision not to distribute the 'Postcards From Buster' 'Sugartime!' episode to public television stations. What we are trying to do in the series is connect kids with other kids by reflecting their lives. In some episodes, as in the Vermont one, we are validating children who are seldom validated. We believe that 'Postcards From Buster' does this in a very natural way - and, as always, from the point of view of children."
Jeanne Hopkins, a spokeswoman for the show's producer, WGBH-TV of Boston, added, "We feel it's important that we not exclude kids because of what their family structure looks like." WGBH plans to broadcast the episode in March and offer it to other PBS stations.
Like the grown-ups in most of the episodes, the lesbian mothers in the "Sugartime!" segment are mainly background. "The concern really was that there's a point where background becomes foreground," Mr. Godwin said. "No matter if the parents were intended to be background, with this specific item in this particular program they might simply be foreground because of press attention to it and parental attention to it."
The question is, does the episode violate the grant under which WGBH received federal funds? Mr. Godwin said, "The presence of a couple headed by two mothers would not be appropriate curricular purpose that PBS should provide."
The grant specifies the programs "should be designed to appeal to all of America's children by providing them with content and characters with which they can identify." In addition, the grant says, "Diversity will be incorporated into the fabric of the series to help children understand and respect differences and learn to live in a multicultural society."
Brigid Sullivan, vice president for children's programming at WGBH, has been producing children's shows for 20 years, including "Arthur," for many years the top-rated children's show. "This asked for a project on diversity to all of America's children," she said. "We took it seriously and thought that with 'Arthur,' the No. 1 show on television for kids for years, we had something to draw kids in. Buster is Arthur's best friend, the child of divorce, he has asthma. Children sympathize with him. We had a breakthrough format, this animated bunny with his camera getting live-action sequence. Not to present a make-believe world of diversity but a real world."
Explaining the goal of the show, Ms. Sullivan said: "We want to reflect all of America's children."
"This is not about their parents," she said.

PORN ON THE SCHOOL BUS
The scary part is that this happned in Greece. We shudder to think of the type of porn the driver showed the kids. From Reuters...
ATHENS (Reuters) - A bus driver shuttling pupils to school in northern Greece shocked their parents when he put on a porn tape, say officials.
The incident on Tuesday in the town of Kilkis prompted dozens of complaints by parents who have asked the bus company to sack him.
"The driver said 'kids we've got porn, do you want to watch it'," one of the pupils told reporters on Thursday. "Everyone started shouting yes, yes and he just put in a tape and we watched it on the small TV screens on the bus."
The children were aged 12 to 15.
The bus company will meet on Friday to decide what action to take against the driver, local government officials said.
