Lesbians Love Them Some P!nk

Singer Pink is top of the pops when it comes to lesbian love, with nearly half (46%) of British lesbians naming her ‘most lesbilicious straight celebrity’, according to a major gay poll released today. And while Pink claims to be straight, her lesbian fanbase think otherwise – a third (31%) think the recently-divorced singer will come out of the closet in 2009.

But although Pink may be popular with lesbians, the undisputed lesbilicious queen remains Ellen Degeneres. The talk show host was named 'LGBT hero of 2008' and 'most lesbilicious lesbian/bisexual celebrity'. In addition, Ellen and Portia were crowned 'cutest celebrity couple'.


Hundreds of lesbian and bisexual women took part in the poll, which was conducted by lesbian news website Lesbilicious.co.uk.

The most lesbilicious straight celebrity after Pink is Juno star Ellen Page, say British lesbians. 20% of lesbians think that Ellen Page is too cute a tomboy to resist - and no doubt it helps that Page will be playing a lesbian police officer in a new movie being filmed later this year. Third most lesbilicious straight celeb is Sarah Palin impersonator and comedienne Tina Fey with 13% of votes, and then Kylie and Madonna come in joint fifth with 4% each. Katy Perry might have kissed a girl and liked it, but the feeling isn’t mutual – only 3% of lesbians think she’s lesbilicious.

When it comes to genuinely lesbian/bisexual celebs, Ellen Degeneres came out top with 24% of the vote, hotly followed by Angelina Jolie (20%) and Leisha Hailey with (19%). Leisha Hailey is the only openly gay woman to star in sexy lesbian series The L Word. After years of speculation about her sexuality, Jodie Foster's public acknowledgment of her female partner has shot up her popularity with lesbians, helping her to the fourth spot with 18% of the vote. Lindsay Lohan's openness about her lesbian relationship with DJ Sam Ronson has also boosted her popularity in the lesbian community, winning her 10% of votes. Coming in sixth with 8% was long-time favourite, openly bisexual Drew Barrymore.

Pink might be pretty lesbilicious, but there is a secretly gay celebrity even more likely to come out in 2009, according to British lesbians - Michelle Rodriguez, the sexy star of The Fast and the Furious and TV series Lost. 34% of lesbians say that Rodriguez sets off their gaydar, but Rodriguez has always denied the rumours about her sexuality - even when bisexual Terminator 3 actress Kristanna Loken hinted in 2007 that she and Rodriguez had had a relationship. After Michelle Rodriguez and Pink, 23% of lesbians believe that the lesbian rumours about hiphop star and Chicago actress Queen Latifah are true, and 9% believe that singer Ricky Martin might be the one to come clean about his sexuality this year.

The honour of being named the 'most lesbilicious lesbian/bisexual musician' went to Canadian singer-songwriters twins Tegan and Sara. The gorgeous, openly-lesbian musicians won 29% of votes, ahead of Leisha Hailey (23%) - who is not only an actress but half of music duo Uh Huh Her - and old-timer kd lang (14%). Bisexual folk star Ani DiFranco came in fourth with 13% of the vote, perhaps due in part to her recent marriage to a man. Beth Ditto and Tracy Chapman came in fifth and sixth, with 10% and 6% of the vote respectively.

Ellen Degeneres and wife Portia Di Rossi were named ‘cutest celebrity couple’ by nearly half (48%) of Lesbilicious.co.uk readers, but a third (35%) thought the title should go to Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson instead. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got 8% of the vote, ahead of Katie Price and Peter Andre (3%). David and Victoria Beckham received just 1% of the vote.

And it seems that not even lesbians are immune to the charms of President-elect of the USA Barack Obama – 40% of lesbians voted Obama ‘most Lesbilicious man’, ahead of hunks Jonny Depp (31%), Brad Pitt (9%), David Beckham (7%) or Orlando Bloom (4%).

In addition, 10% of lesbians voted Obama the LGBT hero of 2008, just behind Rachel Maddow (11%) and Ellen Degeneres (23%).

In contrast, 17% of lesbians thought that the ‘LGBT villain’ of 2008 was The Pope / the religious right. 16% thought it was Republican Vice-President candidate Sarah Palin, and George W Bush and anti-gay voters in California came in joint third with 10% each.

Lesbilicious.co.uk spokesperson Rosie Kirk comments:

"Ellen Degeneres is a legend. She was one of the first openly gay celebrities, and recently she's won hearts by using her talk show to raise awareness of gay issues. She truly deserves the title 'LGBT hero'.

“As for Pink - she's got the hair, the tattoos and most importantly the attitude – no wonder lesbians love her! Hopefully it’s only a matter of time before she realises how much more fun girls are and comes over to the dyke side."

I Want More Sex... and the City - The Movie Sequel is Coming!

Are you a Sex and the City fan?

If you are, than girl, strap on your Monolo Blahniks and grab your Birkin bags again. Sex and the City" stylist Patricia Field has revealed that the rumored sequel to "Sex and the City: The Movie" will be hitting a theater near you ... eventually. And, by the way, this is all very unofficial. But who really cares about officiality? Heck, that's not even a word! All I know is that the sequel better be good and lord knows the writers have big shoes to fill.

"I do believe it will happen, because [creator] Michael Patrick King himself told me it's gonna happen," she told MTV News.

The original big-screen adaptation of the HBO series, released back in May, was an instant hit that updated fans on the glamorous lives of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.

If you missed the movie (and shame on you if you did) here's a recap:

- Carrie got married to Mr. Big, but only after he practically left her at the altar, in only a way that Mr. Big could do.
- Charlotte and Harry adopted a Chinese girl and although she was only 6 years old, she got to spend her time hanging out with four middle-aged women while they talked about sex and martinis.
- Samantha moved to LA and hated it. Smith Jarred worked too much and so Samantha decided he wasn't spending enough attention on her so she dumped him.
- Miranda got cheated on my Steve. She left him and couldn't find it in her heart to forgive him, until she was on the Brooklyn bridge and decided she could either forgive or jump off. She's still alive.

What will the next chapter in their lives bring? Here's my prediction:

Big and Carrie are still married. She makes him go to therapy to deal with his monogamy issues. They buy a brownstone in the Upper East Side and Carrie changes her column to "Married in the City (and Still Having Sex But Not Nearly As Often As She'd Like)". Charlotte gets pregnant by some miracle of God. It's a little boy but strangely, he is also Chinese like his sister. Charlotte swears she hasn't had an affair and proclaims the "Immaculate Asian Conception" They name him Yin and Charlotte starts a support group for Park Avenue Stay-At-Home Moms. Samantha moves back to NY and continues to do the PR thing. Smith Jerrod gives up his professional acting career to start a porn film company called "Full Moon Productions" and when Samantha gets wind of this, she immediately takes him back. The two of them decide to write, direct and star in the first movie which turns into a huge success. After taking Steve back despite his affair, Miranda comes to the realization that her attraction to him is platonic when she herself has a hot affair with her nanny, played by Bridget Moynahan (Big's ex). They move in together a week later and Miranda fully comes out of the closet and files an amicable divorce with Steve, who later turns out to be gay himself. They all live happily ever after in their blissful state (of New York).
