Things seem a little slow on the Michael Barrymore front, so this item from the Mirror will have to suffice.
Transvestite Pete Burns could face jail over his “gorilla-skin” coat, a Government minister warned yesterday.
The fun-loving Dead Or Alive star (above) has outraged Jodie Marsh by claiming his fur coat is made from the endangered animals.
Now the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has stepped in to say Burns may face “serious consequences” if the claim turns out to be true.
When Burns said he was offended by Marsh’s autobiography, in which she spilled details about her ex-boyfriends, the glamour girl retaliated.
Jodie said: “Well, I think it’s low that you wear a monkey coat. “It offends me every time I see it on your back.”
Burns hit back: “That thrills me. I get off on the fact my coat offends someone who put her boyfriend’s dirty underwear in a book.”
He added: “I wish I had a sable coat and a chinchilla dressing gown and every other fur I could lay my hands on.”
Trading in endangered species carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and an unlimited fine.
i dunno if i can speak for anyone else, but i really could’ve lived without seeing that picture.
he’s no Kate Beckinsale, is that what you’re trying to say?
yes, exactly.
He seems to have a better agent than Kate Beckinsdale though: Underworld II?
Godber is rolling in his grave.

pete is top class he is sound he is cool he deserves better he has had nowt but shit all his life and every 1 in bb house deserved wot they got off him coz he is ace init
Who the ” * ” cares its a coat. The gorilla couldnt wear it anymore after the pochers killed it. I look at it as a tribute to some majestic animals that are killed unjustly all the time. So get over it. GO PETE !
The poachers killed the gorilla so they could get the fur. By wearing the fur, Pete says it’s fine to kill the gorilla. Bet nobody asked the gorilla if he wanted to donate his skin so that some pervert could sashay around in it. Maybe we can skin Pete and put his skanky hide on a gorilla.
