Hot Lesbian Action!

OK, so this post really doesn't have much to do with the aforementioned title. Consider it a cheap attempt to garner some hits from Google.

But while we're on the topic of lesbianism ...

An upcoming biopic about Sixties-era crooner Dusty Springfield is expected to arrive on the doorstep neutered. According to the Times of London, Universal execs contend that Springfield's bisexuality, which helped make her a gay icon, is likely to be sanitized in Hollywood's retooling. As studio execs allegedly put it, movie audiences are "weary" of lesbianism.

"The only boy (or girl) who could ever reach me ... was the son (or daughter) of a preacher man ..."

Weary of lesbianism? Weary? Weary as in bleary-eyed,snaggle-toothed and chafed from endless hours spent searching the Internet for visual celebrations of lesbianism? If that's the kind of weary they mean, well, maybe then "weary" would be an apt description.

But I fear that Hollywood means the other kind of "weary," the not-a-box-office-draw kind of weary. And on that count, I must draw the line. Indeed, we implore Hollywood to stay true to the indomitable spirit and legacy of Dusty Springfield. We must not abide by revisionist history!

In fact, it would be my distinct, er, pleasure to offer to the screenwriters an entire scene I've mapped out that involves Ms. Springfield and Lulu, of "To Sir with Love" fame. The two divas would meet cute in a bistro on London's West End, see, and there'd be some playful tittering and touching, and maybe "The Look of Love" could be incorporated into the soundtrack, and then one thing would lead to another, and ... and ...

Lulu and that crazy Swingin' Sixties yoga

But I digress.

At the very least, why pursue a biopic about someone and then eliminate the most interesting things about that person?

And while we're on the subject of lesbianism, I'd be remiss if I didn't call your attention to a recent Playboy survey that finds a whopping 57 percent of college co-eds would want to hook up with Angelina Jolie.

Yep, this new generation of leaders definitely rocks.
