Cyndi Lauper belted out her greatest hits as she served burgers in a diner for Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice Show.
Lauper, with a pink stripe in her hair and wearing stockings, waited tables as she sang tunes like True Colors to customers, after Trump gave the teams the task of making money from a diner in Manhattan.
Comedian Carol Leifer was the first contestant booted off the show.
Leifer’s female teammates included the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Lauper and actress Holly Robinson Peete.
The male team include the likes of baseball great Darryl Strawberry, comedian Sinbad, former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, athlete Michael Johnson and Poison frontman Bret Michaels.
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.”
