    Synopsis
    Pete Burns has found a new audience with his outrageous antics on Celebrity Big Brother. Whether being berated for wearing an alleged 'gorilla' coat, or destroying any one of his housemates with a withering putdown, he's the undoubted star of the show. But there's much more to Pete than meets the eye - and what with his extraordinary features and sense of fashion, that really saying something. He became a star with the band Dead Or Alive, who had a huge hit with "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" in the mid-80s, but until now he has never told his own amazing story. It includes frank details of his affairs with MAJOR ROCK STARS, his long-time marriage, how he had to sell his GBP 2m house to pay for the plastic surgery that went wrong and caused horrific injuries to his lips. He's had an amazing career and still commands a huge global following. When it came to going into the Big Brother house, Pete declared he was not going to be a team player - and this sensational book about his life shows how he's always been a true individual and a born star.

    The John Blake blurb promises revelations about "major rock stars"; publication was originally slated for the 10th before being moved back ten days... I don't think the timing is accidental, put it that way.

        I *seriously* doubt the credibility of this rumour, but it's interesting nonetheless.

        If it does end up as a part of Burns' book, we'll get a better idea of the truth if Morrissey launches legal action or simply sits back and says nothing.

I'll tell you why: IT got tired of standing in for Ronald McDonald at birthday parties and wants to make some money by sharing IT'S personal life with Moz.

                            Is there anything worse than a Tranny coming out and saying IT had sex with you? I mean, did IT also give Moz crabs or VD? I don't even want to know. And for all you clones saying that Mozzer's response will determine the validity of IT'S claim, I have to say that there is no right way to approach IT. Either way, people will want to believe what they want to believe. If Morrissey denies, he is lying and/or telling the truth.

                            We all know how Moz is going to handle this. He won't say anything. What can he say? He was giving her a ride home? It didn't work for Pluto Nash so it certainly won't work for Moz.

                            I think the wisest response for Morrissey would have to be considered through the wise words of Quagmire: "Pre-Op or Post-Op? Giggedy Giggedy!!!!"

                                          I must say Puberty Burns was right when he said he loathed convention when 'accessorising'. Those Kirby grips in his hair match his pin prick ego....

                                                I have been a Morrissey fan as long as I can remember and I know that they were good/close friends in the early 80's.

                                                As far as I know Pete was married to wife Lynne for over 25 years until last year. But I have also heard rumours (these are rumours) that Pete has been a bi-sexual well, for all his life. I think there was a time when Pete shared his house with BOTH his wife Lynne and a male partner - Bizarre Love Triangle eh?
                                                I know people are now attacking Pete for spilling the beans but I personally LOVE him. He is such an outstanding, unique, witty, warm and intelligent bloke. A bit like Morrissey really, never compromise, never sell-out, always sticks to his guns.

                                                All I can think of is that Morrissey has always been drawn to the "outsiders", misfits and the under dogs and perhaps they had an "affair" of some sort in the 80's. Morrissey likes Strong outstanding (or unusual) characters. Also they were both from up north at the time so maybe they shared the same experience of being famous.

                                                  I wonder if the sample copies behind Pete are just mock-up covers slipped over any old book, or is it the actual manuscript. Anybody could've grabbed one and we wouldn't be second guessing about what (if any) Moz content there is...
