Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears made a splash on UK television last night when he revealed that he’s been participating in the country’s version of The Masked Singer as the “fruity unicorn.”
The fruity unicorn has impressed judges over the course of the season, crooning out covers of Lizzo, Kate Bush and even ZZ Top. Judge Kelly Osbourne finally guessed Shears’ identity when he dropped the hint that she’d seen him naked. (Who hasn’t?)

“It’s right up my alley,” Shears said of his participation. “It was a no brainer for me. I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life,” he later told talk show host Lorraine Kelly. “It was so weird, and I loved every minute of it.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
He also added that the unicorn costume made it very difficult to perform. “It was borderline impossible,” he said. “It was really, really hard.”
Somehow, it makes perfect sense that Jake Shears would be dressed as a unicorn with a mane that looks conspicuously similar to the Pride Flag. Maybe he’ll wear it on his next tour.

humans need to find a healthier hobby than entertainment for the calamity of our boredom …

Never watched it, and don’t intend to start.

the show looks like total trash…we stopped watching cable in 2005. Drivel like this is exactly why we dropped television completely.

I know it’s supposed to be just dumb, harmless fun, but I can’t help wondering what happened to talent being enough. Now even the singing a song has to be dressed up in layers of extraneous b.s. – drag, mystery, competition, audience participation. FFS.
