Anderson, Pamela
Model and former Baywatch star, sometime consort of Kid Rock, Poison’s Bret Michaels, Michael Bolton, Fred Durst. Most famous within rock circles for co-starring in 1996 sex tape made with then-husband and father of her children Tommy Lee (see also Huge Genitalia) in which he masturbates over his wife’s Zeppelin-like breasts and honks the horn of a speedboat using his penis.
Asphyxiophilia
Practice of heightening sexual pleasure by applied self-suffocation. INXS vocalist Michael Hutchence’s 1997 death in an Australian hotel room (official cause: suicide) is widely believed to have been a kinky asphyxiophilia misadventure. Hutchence’s partner, Paula Yates, initially disputed the rumors about Hutchence’s death—“he was not having a **** on a door”—but then changed her mind; he was having a **** on a door, after all.
Beverly Hills Police Department
Upscale Los Angeles law-enforcement bureau. Responsible for the 1998 arrest of George Michael for “engaging in a lewd act” in a public restroom. Michael put a romantic sheen on events, saying a “slightly inebriated pop star on a lovely summer’s day” was coaxed by a “well over six foot, fairly attractive” stranger. Then they looked at each other’s penises.
Bisexuality
Attraction or behavior directed toward more than one sex. David Bowie met ex-wife Angie when they were both “f**king the same bloke” (record executive Calvin Mark Lee). Angie later lectured on bisexuality at posh English private school Eton. Also doubling their chances: Madonna (see also Fake Lesbians; Vanilla Ice), Michael Stipe and Elton John, who explained, “People should be very free with sex. They should draw the line at goats.”
CrackIngestion of potent crystalline form of cocaine, the drug of choice of funk singer Rick James. In 1991, 24-year-old Frances Alley claimed that an intoxicated James ordered her to strip naked, tied her to a chair and burned her with a hot pipe, after which she was hit in the face with a handgun and forced to perform cunnilingus upon James’s girlfriend. Alley went to the police and—following a separate, drug-fueled assault on another woman—James was put on trial. Charges included false imprisonment, torture, forcible oral copulation and aggravated mayhem.
Dildo
Object shaped like an erect penis used for sexual stimulation. For fans unable to experience the real thing, Duran Duran guitarist Warren Cuccurullo (see also Web Site, Personal) marketed an 8” dildo, the Rock Rod, modeled on his own genitalia, in 2002. In general, such sex toys are not recommended for use outside the bedroom: In 1999 two members of German industrial metal outfit Rammstein were arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior during a concert in Worcester, Massachusetts, for simulating sodomy with a large dildo that emitted milk.
Durst, Fred
Fleshy Limp Bizkit mouthpiece. Notorious for chronicling romantic liaisons via overwrought blog entries and, more graphically, a widely circulated rear-entry nookie video (see also X-Rated Video) co-starring an unidentified model and Fred’s ample stomach. The three-minute clip—allegedly taken from Durst’s computer while it was being repaired—is the latest in a career-long obsession with proving to the public that he has, despite common sense indicating otherwise, had sex with a woman.
Explicit Album Art
Commonplace controversy-starter among conservatives and Wal-Mart executives; banned or altered covers have depicted: naked underage girls (Blind Faith, Blind Faith; anything by Bow Wow Wow); visible nipples (Jane’s Addiction, Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual); trace amounts of pubic hair (The Black Crowes, Amorica); and, worst of all, wildly unkempt pubic hair (John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Two Virgins).
Fake Lesbians
Perpetrators of pseudo-sapphic acts, often employed as pop publicity stunt. Especially ingenious were entirely heterosexual teenage Russian duo t.A.T.u., who promoted their 2002 album, 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane, with a doe-eyed make-out session on The Tonight Show—cut by network censors—and massed girl-on-girl action at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. Madonna (see also Bisexuality; Vanilla Ice)—after a same-sex dalliance with Naomi Campbell in her 1992 book, Sex—proved that middle age is no bar to publicity-friendly sexual experimentation by kissing both Britney Spears and
Christina Aguilera at 2003’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
’80s British dance group whose enthusiasm for S&M outfits, suggestive lyrics and wanton homoeroticism was dimly viewed by the regulators of British broadcasting. Enjoyed short-lived but nonetheless scandalous career, thanks to wise PR and songs like “Rage Hard” and “Relax”—which featured the inquisitive come-on “When you wanna come?” The shocked BBC banned the “Relax” single in the U.K., but the kinky imagery of the video helped it sell more than a million copies.
Girls Gone Wild
Salacious but highly successful home-video series. Employed hip-hop star and herb connoisseur Snoop Dogg to host 2002’s Girls Gone Wild: Doggy Style, a further installment of footage of drunk girls flashing breasts. In 2003, two women filed suit against Snoop, claiming they weren’t aware they were being filmed; the case was settled out of court. Snoop—who in 2002 won two Adult Video News awards for his Hustler-distributed porn movie Doggystyle—has distanced himself from GGW, claiming the tapes hurt his attempts at adopting a more family-friendly image.
Go-Go’s, The
Bubbly girl group, formed in Los Angeles, 1978. Their fresh all-American image was undermined by the post-gig pranks captured in a grainy, heavily- circulated underground video. The tape shows the intoxicated band harassing one of their drunken male roadies, spying on him as he masturbates in a bathroom stall, covering his ass with shaving cream and eventually corking him with a dildo. None of the women appear naked in the hour-long video—but lead singer Belinda Carlisle subsequently posed for Playboy.
Huge Genitalia
Generous endowment that possibly explains much about certain stars: Q-Tip’s lyrical swagger, the self-confidence behind Huey Lewis’s assertion that it was hip to be square, etc. Undisputed ****-rock king remains Iggy Pop (see also Public Indecency), due to willingness to publicly display his enormous good fortune. Stooges gigs were enlivened by unscheduled appearance of Pop member: “He put his dick on the speaker,” remembered one witness. “It was just vibrating around.”
Inflatable Penis
Outsized stage prop typically used to make a statement about the performers’ antisocial credentials and/or relaxed sexual values. Pioneered by the
Rolling Stones in 1975, the group’s 20-foot faux genital organ would be ridden by vocalist Mick Jagger during performances of groupie anthem, “Star Star,” often despite prior warnings from law-enforcement officers. Similar device also employed by the Beastie Boys on their 1987 Licensed to Ill tour—only five feet longer and with the addition of a motor.
Jesus Juice
Quasi-religious alias given to white wine by 46-year-old King of Pop and amateur sommelier Michael Jackson; red wine correspondingly known as “Jesus’s Blood.” Sipping both from cans of soda, Jackson allegedly plied a 13-year-old boy and his brother with the “holy” drink—along with antihistamines—before making them watch pornography. A former associate of Jackson’s claims the Juice once caused Jackson to pass out on the floor of a plane during a flight to Germany.
Judas Priest
1970s “Hellbent for Leather” British metal band whose drummer, 55-year-old David Holland, was sent to prison in 2004 for the attempted rape of a learning-disabled 17-year-old boy. Holland had been giving the boy drum lessons and, according to court papers, had also been providing him with booze and porn in order to win his trust. Holland did 10 years in Priest; he’s been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Kelly, R.
R&B superstar known for an alleged compulsion to seduce and urinate on underage girls, blurrily documented in a 27-minute x-rated video that surfaced in 2002. Charged with 21 counts of child pornography, Kelly quickly released whiny single “Heaven, I Need a Hug” and, with a trial pending, still insists he’s not the urinator in question. Comic Chris Rock has expressed doubts: “Motherf**ker, we know what you look like. That’s you, OK?. . . [Your] damn Soul Train award [is] right next to the bed!”
Lil’ Kim
X-rated rapper, né Kimberly Denise Jones. The ex and protégé of Notorious B.I.G. pioneered public shirtlessness—usually wearing what appear to be yarmulkes on her nipples. Despite postulating fellatio as morally superior to shopping, surprisingly claims to take her inspiration from Diana Ross, saying, “She touched me, in a way, when I was a young girl.” Ross picked up where she let off at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, squeezing Kim’s breast. One Web site boasts it has pictures of Lil’ Kim fully clothed.
Love Children
Illegitimate children with paternity claims, often afflicting rock stars with fuzzy memories and dusty wallets. Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger finally admitted being the biological father of baby Lucas—after his mother arranged a DNA test. Ted Nugent—“Father of the Year at children’s school” according to tednugent.com—doesn’t like paying for his love child. The real downside is their ageing effect: young fans of Bush’s Gavin Rossdale, 38—father to a 15-year-old—realized he was old enough, literally, to be their dad.
Mann Act
Federal statute forbidding the interstate transportation of women for immoral purposes. Initiated Chuck Berry’s career in scandal, when, in 1960, he was sentenced to five years in prison for taking a 14-year-old girl from Arizona to Missouri to work at his Bandstand club. In 1994, Berry settled out of court over allegations that he had secretly placed cameras in the ladies’ restroom cublicles of his Berry Park property later claimed staff there had sold pictures to a porn mag of women playing with his Ding-a-Ling.
“Me So Horny”1989 rap record—named for sample of prostitute from Stanley Kubrick’s film Full Metal Jacket—by Florida’s 2Live Crew, whose As Nasty As They Wanna Be CD became the first album to be legally ruled obscene in the U.S. Later bids for credibility—a line of Homeboy Condoms and AIDS-consciousness release “Who’s f**kin’ Who”—undermined by frontman Luther Campbell’s claim to have enjoyed oral sex with fans onstage, and the Clinton/Lewinsky-themed makeover “Bill So Horny: The Presidential Remix.”
Mystikal
Born Michael Tyler, MC (“Shake Ya Ass”) and Operation Desert Storm vet convicted for sexual battery in 2004. An image-conscious sexual assailant, Tyler blackmailed his hairstylist into submitting to anal and oral sex with him and two others, but not until she had braided his hair. Facing life in prison on a charge of aggravated rape, Tyler pleaded guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence.
Neil, Vince
Chubby Mötley Crüe frontman in 2004 sentenced to a 30-day suspended jail term, $1,000 fine and anger-management training after attempting to strangle prostitute TriXXie Blue.
Nipples
Small conical projections on surface of mammary gland; staple of rock outrage. The heavily decorated nipple of Janet Jackson, exposed by Justin Timberlake during 2004’s Super Bowl halftime show, led to the FCC’s fining CBS $500,000. 2004 also saw Courtney Love apparently start to show hers to the world, one person at a time—beginning with a nonplussed David Letterman, then outside a Manhattan branch of Wendy’s, where she invited a 23-year-old man to suck one of them.
One Night In Paris
Sex tape featuring knickerless heiress Paris Hilton and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, filmed in 1999. A three-minute version appeared online, which Salomon said was bootlegged; in 2004 a Salomon-sanctioned 45 minutes became the year’s best-selling porn video, snaring him a reported $7 million. Salomon claimed he had to release it to scotch allegations that Paris was drugged and assaulted. Paris was subsequently awarded a percentage of the profits—and her condition led Conan O’Brien to describe a later hotel-room robbery as “another man who got in and out without her noticing.”
