Musician Cyndi Lauper was all smiles after President Barack Obama delivered remarks following the enactment of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. In a statement, the singer said “As a straight ally and as a person with many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender family members, friends and fans, I want to thank the Human Rights Campaign, Judy and Dennis Shepard and Senator Edward Kennedy for their leadership in the 11 year struggle to get the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd, Jr. Hates Crimes Prevention Bill enacted. Finally, with President Obama’s signature, violent hate crimes against the LGBT community will be recognized and prosecuted by the Federal government. This is only the beginning, I believe that the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, as well as the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, will soon be here. Today, that light at the end of the tunnel for the LGBT civil rights movement is much brighter.”

If looks could kill, anyone who chose to look into Cyndi Lauper’s eyes would have dropped dead by now. If I managed to sneak a glimpse, I would have run away as far away and as fast as I could after seeing that look pasted on her face. The singer attended the Defying Inequality Broadway Concert in New York last Monday night where she looked appropriately defiant. She looked ready to bit someone’s head off really. The Broadway concert helped raise money for marriage equality and featured performances from some of the best to have ever graced the stages of the Great White Way.

No kidding.
Perezhilton claims that the 80’s pop star is currently working on an Xmas song with Swedish garage rock band The Hives.
WHAT THE HELL WOULD THAT SOUND LIKE? I’m kinda anxious to hear it!
Their collaboration, A Christmas Duel, will be available as a free download on November 28th.
In a recent press release, The Hives said, “It may sound weird and come as a surprise to some, but we had to. It came to us. It landed in our lap and was way too good to shake or toss. We knew we had to record it. A sign if you will.”
Cyndi commented, “This goes to show even rat sideswipers can have a good Xmas too.”

It seems like everyone’s turning into a diva these days and it doesn’t matter if you’re male or a has-been. Cyndi Lauper showed her true diva colors last Friday when the singer was scheduled to perform on CBS’ Early Show but ended up storming off complete with a screaming session. There were some technical difficulties during her sound check that supposedly set her off. Instead of waiting for whatever to be fixed, the diva just left without performing. That’s so lame. Newsflash Cyndi – you’re not Madonna! You don’t even have her popularity so you don’t have the right to be a bitch about what happened.

Well if you had ever wondered where that squeaky high pitched tone belonging to Cyndi Lauper came from – it is down to helium. The ‘Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun’ singer was spotted backstage at the Hetrick-Martin benefit gala in New York last week sucking the voice distorting gas out of balloons.Hmmm. Should we feel like we have been disillusioned? Or do we not care enough? Yes, songs like Time After Time and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun will forever be in our memories due to their popularity at hen nights and birthday parties…but have you ever really heard the words “Cyndi Lauper has a fantastic singing voice”?
If you had you might be a bit upset that she cheats and uses helium. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure the woman has plenty of talent; I’m just not sure this revelation is something to get too excited about.
In the meantime Cyndi also upset her backing choir for the gig by introducing them as her “transgender choir”. One of the young singers fumed, “She keeps calling us transgender! We’re not f******g trannies!”
Oops Cyndi; careful what you say love.
