When Son Of a Tutu is not entertaining the good folk of the UK she loves to keep abreast of current affairs and the goings-on in the world of showbiz, so this week Jason Reid sat down with Nigeria’s most infamous illegal immigrant to get her take on the recent hot topics…
“Poppers will officially be banned in the UK”
What do you make of this nanny state nonsense?
I’m so outraged by it that I have decided to stockpile poppers, and then go into business selling them on the black market.
Go on…
Well, Mary Mac has taken all of my bookings, therefore I am at risk of falling below Theresa May’s 35k income threshold for immigrants. I’ve worked too hard and married too many men for the right to stay in the UK so I’m going to kill two birds with one stone by selling poppers. In bulk!
“The Voice UK coaches regret over not choosing drag queen Divina De Campo”
Divina, who we both know quite well, was on The Voice recently showing off her operatic talents. Your opinion?
I did not understand a word of it, but it sounded beautiful, and she is one of the most beautiful people on both the outside and inside. Those judges, they don’t know what real talent is unless it’s in a particular lane.
Do you think she was perhaps better off not getting through?
She will get work and a lot of interest on the back of that brilliant audition. Even if she’d have gone through they are looking for a ‘pop’ artist. Divina rightly used it as a showcase for her talents. I think she threw some shade at me actually?! I’ll have to call her after this interview to tell her off. She said: “Some drag queens should not sing”. How bloody dare she!! [laughs].
The girl did good.
She did. It was a very classy performance, and I wish her the very best. One of the nicest and most talented people on the scene.
“Donald Trump Jam: Presidential hopeful enlists child cheerleaders for ‘bizarre’ anthem”
From the sublime to the ridiculous…
Indeed! One of my biggest problems with the Donald is that he’s a copycat. Not only did he copy his hero, Adolf Hitler, who did similar things with the Hitler Youth and kids singing arian songs, he has also FOREVER ruined Blondie’s ‘Heart of Glass’ for me.
Why?
Because every time I hear the musical breakdown in that ‘Freedom Girls’ monstrosity I hear Blondie’s hit. So I am putting in a call to Marvin Gaye’s lawyers, who took out a lawsuit on Robin Thicke, to ask them to mount a similar suit. I’m also going to report them to the criminal courts – and possibly The Hague – for bad taste!
It was all a bit ‘performing in Pyongyang for the great leader’ wasn’t it?
Well Kim-Jong Un is his brother (clearly). The only good thing that can come out of Donald Trump becoming president is that the ‘special relationship’ between the UK and US will be well and truly shaken up. And Jason Reid, I know you’re a big Jeremy Corbyn fan – who is anti-Trident. And we all know Trident comes from America. So maybe Prime Minister Corbyn will have his wish.
“Adam Lambert will star in a new TV version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show”
I’m also a big fan of Adam Lambert. Good casting here?
I’ve got mixed feelings about this, not the casting; I think having Adam Lambert and Laverne Cox involved is absolute genius. I mean, Adam should have won his season of American Idol. The reason he didn’t was because Donald Trump’s America voted with their sexuality.
What are your reservations about the remake?
In the hands of FOX TV they may take what is an absolutely incredible vehicle about people from the outside and deliver the message of inclusion in a very urgent way. They could end up turning it into a wishy-washy piece of American shit! I’d be more at ease if it were on HBO as they produce more edgy and thought-provoking shows. However, we shall see…
