Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell's probably shitting his pants right now. Sources claim that the 49-year old gets his rocks off cruising for gay sex. One person told the press: "Whenever he got the urge he'd say, ‘My chemicals are up. I need a man!'" Ew.

Daily Star reports that Burrell fears the allegations will negatively impact his business:

Paul’s management team are particularly worried his huge US fanbase will be stunned at the allegations, which were made yesterday, and turn their backs on his books, home furnishings line and even etiquette classes.

Wait, wait. They're worried gay allegations will harm his "home furnishings line and even etiquette classes"? It seems to us this shit can only help sales - everyone knows we gays are experts on such things!

Mary Breslauer didn't always want to be a politico. The New Jersey-born brainiac actually got her start in journalism, but eventually found herself working for the late Gerry Studds, a Congressman who found himself censured after having a consensual, legal sexual relationship with a congressional page.

Breslauer's experience with Studds sent her on a collision course with American politics. Now a co-host for HRC's The Agenda radio show, Breslauser's spending her free time campaigning for Senator Hillary Clinton.

Below the journo-politico talks our editor through her evolution, discusses Studds and explains why Hillary should lead our country.

Andrew Belonsky: Hi, Mary! Are you having a nice day?

Mary Breslauer: Yeah. It's been okay. It's kind of a neutral day.

AB: Neutral?

MB: I meant to go to the gym. I didn't get to the gym. I was like, "It's 4:30. You're talking to Andrew. You're not going to the gym." But there's always another day!

AB: Let's hope so. Alright, we're going to dive right into this. How did you get into politics?

MB: Well, I started in journalism in college: I was editor of my college newspaper. Whenever you spend any time in journalism, I think it by nature turns you into a political person - or, at least, a political junkie. It certainly did for me! And then I made the switch from journalism to what some call "the dark side."

[Laughs]

MB: One of my first jobs was press secretary in Gerry Studds' 1984 reelection campaign immediately [after] his censure. So, that really was just a wonderful baptism by fire into politics! The campaign was completely unprecedented. No one had ever cared about that little Massachusetts district. Then we were flooded not just with national media, but international media.

AB: Were you recruited into that campaign? How did you end up getting involved?

MB: It's funny. I ended living on Martha's Vineyard for ten years in my twenties. I was a reporter and managing editor of The Vineyard Gazette, which is the weekly newspaper for the island. Gerry was our congressman, so I got to know him quite well. When the '84 election came up, just after the censure - I had wanted to make the switch. It was actually my girlfriend at the time who said, "You should call Studds, because this is going to be a big race and he needs help." So, I called him and within 24 hours I was his press secretary.

AB: How do you go into that situation? How do handle you scandal of that nature? I understand he didn't do anything illegal, but it must have been a challenge.

MB: The challenge of it really was that reporters - unless they were local reporters - didn't understand the unique relationship Gerry had with his constituents. Gerry immediately went after the censure and had town meetings throughout the district. He was available to people. Nobody held town meetings until Gerry Studds did. He did it many years before the censure ever happened, so people in the district really had an incredible relationship with him. In the end, he won the primary challenge, which was quite tough, and won the general resoundingly. And he was reelected and never challenged until he retired. Many voters attitudes were as if he were a member of the family. You might say, "Gee, I wish that never happened, but you're one of us."

AB: Is that happened with the Clintons? Obviously Bill and Hillary have been plagued by scandal in the past…

MB: You know, I think the Clintons - a lot of people are turned off by the scandal allegations. But unless you were a true Clinton hater, I think people just said, "Enough is enough".

G-R-O-S-S!

The Daily Mail published the final, fatal pictures of Princess Diana. Shot by speeding paparrazo, the snaps give viewers a look into the Mercedes moments before Diana died.

We would publish the pictures, but we find them more disturbing than the idea of Karl Rove getting fisted.

Elton John reportedly had a royal breakdown after Prince Harry and Prince William's Concert for Diana. The singer got into with a police officer who ordered him to walk to the VIP area, rather than drive. John allegedly screamed,

Get out of my fucking way. Don't you know who I am? I've been working all fucking day and I need to get to my fucking dressing room.

Obviously Sir Elton is no lady. Nor does he get special privilege: he eventually walked.

Anti-gay Movement for a Better Hungary plans on protesting this weekend's gay pride. Whee!

Prince William certainly isn't mourning his breakup with long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton. Princess Diana's oldest son stepped out in London last night, where he popped into a club for a bit of boozing. And from the looks of it, he had more than his fair share of cocktails.

Apparently such antics run in the family - his little brother, Prince Harry, recently took a spill after leaving another club.

Elton and Diana

If only Elton John and David Furnish had just waited a few months they could’ve been married in what possibly might be the gayest wedding venue on Earth: Princess Diana’s old digs.

Althrop House, where the late wife of Prince Charles was brought up, can be rented out for £50,000 as a luxury wedding venue for gay and straight couples.

Couples will be able to pose for photographs outside of “Diana's Temple”, the summer house beside the grave of the late Princess.

Gay couples will be able to consummate their marriage in the bedroom once shared by the Princess and her former husband, Prince Charles.

Sure the price is steep but come on, there is no price too high to knock boots in the same bed that Diana and Charles, well, probably did nothing at all in. Still, it worth it to hold your ceremony there – how often do you get married and piss off the Queen at the same time?

George Michael.jpg

George Michael seems to have a lot to say and do these days. He's now giving the world a royal revelation.

We're sure his manager is scolding him for not witholding this piece of information until that inevitable tawdry autobiography, but Michael goes ahead and giddily states that Lady Di had a thing for him:

“There were certain things that happened that made it clear she was very attracted to me. There was no question. We clicked in a way that was a little bit intangible.”

Claiming that the pair almost began a relationship he said: “we nearly got together on that St. Tropez boat trip. I was supposed to go on the boat and I'm quite glad I didn't, because it would have been so fresh when she died.”

He also claims that, while only a hip-shaking fetus, Marilyn Monroe put the moves on him just before she downed that bottle of pills.
