Dita Von Teese, 52, admits she WANTS to feel 'objectified and sexualised' and says the subject still feels 'taboo' after stunning fans with her racy Diamonds and Dust burlesque show
Dita Von Teese has revealed the moments she 'wants to feel objectified and sexualised' after stunning fans with her latest show. The burlesque star, 52, has been taking to the stage in her Diamonds And Dust show, which features 'high glamour, bold women, and dangerous games' at the Emerald Theatre in London. And speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, Dita shared that she feels there is still 'taboo' around feeling sexualised and desired, and admitted the moments she feels most objectified, haven't been when she's on stage. She said: 'Interestingly, the times I feel objectified are never to do with being on stage or doing what I do. 'It's always other weird things in life that you're just like, ''Oh, God, it's so weird to have somebody asking me that question'' or maybe somebody will recognize me for instance and they ask for a picture and I'll pose for their picture and then somebody else will be like, they don't know who I am, they just are like, ''why does those people want a picture?'' 'And they'll be very aggressive and like, ''I want one too'' and you're just like, oh, that's where you feel objectified when people put their hands on you or 'I need this too' or ''can you do this?'' Dita Von Teese has revealed the moments she 'wants to feel objectified and sexualised' after stunning fans with her latest show 'Anything like that I feel objectified. I know it's really taboo to say, but sometimes you're just like, ''I just want to be objectified for a minute. Wouldn't that be nice?'' 'I want to be sexualized and objectified sometimes. 'I think I'm also so used to having a theatre full of women that are there maybe because they read my book or whatever, or they follow me and then sometimes, especially this happens in Vegas, when there's people that don't know me, they don't know what my show is about. 'They are just walking into it and they're just like, 'yeah, this is hot' and I'm like, 'oh good I'm glad that it's still sexy and hot too'. 'I like to create a show that feels if you have never heard of me, you're still going to be like, 'that was so much fun. I've never seen anything like that in my life.' Credited with re-popularising burlesque, Dita, born Heather Renée Sweet, is an American vedette and businesswoman. A vedette is the main female artist of a show derived from cabaret and its subcategories of revue, vaudeville, music hall or burlesque. In January, Dita left Lorraine viewers swooning in a plunging gown as she revealed the 'most outrageous challenge of her life' on the hit daytime show. The model opened up to Lorraine Kelly about her time on The Masked Dancer. Dita starred on the ITV competition back in 2021 and dressed as a beetroot in a green and purple dress with a mask the shape of the vegetable. She revealed to Lorraine how she had suffered with vertigo from riding a mechanical bull and subsequently found dancing on the show difficult. Dita said: 'I had vertigo from riding my mechanical bull, I was riding my mechanical bull, swinging my head around and I triggered a vertigo thing and it was a problem for a year so I'm doing The Masked Dancer with this head and the lights on the floor were crazy, it was outrageous. 'It was one of the biggest challenges of my life but it was funny and I loved it,' the dancer added. The show was filmed during the Covid pandemic and Dita stayed at Claridges during the filming. Dita said: 'It was my favourite, besides doing the show and laughing throughout, it was right when the pandemic started and it was a full lockdown here and I was the only guest at Claridges.' She enjoyed a mostly empty hotel and 'special treatment' during her stay. 'I had it all to myself, I'd come wafting down that staircase in the mornings in my nightgown. There were like five people working there and I just had special treatment and they were like sure, you can stay there, because I'm a friend of the hotel,' Dita added.

Kelly Osbourne showcases her slender frame in a knitted dress and sports a voluminous blonde beehive as she joins partner Sid Wilson at gala
Kelly Osbourne showcased her slender frame in black knitted dress as she attended the Diamonds and Dust gala night with her partner Sid Wilson on Thursday. The TV personality, 40, who is the daughter of rock legend Ozzy and TV star Sharon Osbourne, looked incredible as she attended the event at London's Emerald Theatre. She wowed in the off-shoulder garment that she paired with strappy black platform heels, a crossbody black leather Chanel bag and silver earrings. Kelly completed her look by styling her ice blonde locks into a towering beehive with a sweeping side fringe that further accentuated her tiny frame. As she left Dita Von Teese 's new show, Kelly was seen holding hands with Slipknot DJ Sid who wore a black and white oversized shirt, black trousers and New Balance trainers. Kelly has been open about her 85lb postpartum weight loss after welcoming her son, Sidney, two, with Sid and has denied having used Ozempic to help her shed the weight. The TV personality who is the daughter of rock legend Ozzy and TV star Sharon, looked incredible in the off-shoulder garment as she slipped into a pair of strappy black platform heels She revealed she 'rapidly' lost the weight by cutting out 'sugar and carbohydrates' and not by using Hollywood's favorite weight-loss drug. Kelly's outing comes after she shared a snap of herself earlier this year looking dramatically different, reigniting speculation that she's had plastic surgery. The star took to Instagram to post a couple of glamorous shots after getting her hair and makeup done, with her face looking smoother and more chiselled than ever. Captioning the photos, Kelly revealed she'd been all glammed up for her plans to be cancelled at the last minute, lamenting: 'Sat through glam only to find that my day had been cancelled. #alldressedupandnowheretogo'. However, her followers were distracted by her noticeably slimmer and tauter appearance, which highlighted her sharper jawline, voluptuous lips, and lifted brows. They raced to the comments to admit they could barely recognise the star and accused her of getting heavy cosmetic work done that had made her look as though she'd had a 'full head transplant'. They commented: 'Is Kelly Osborne in the room with us?'; 'WHO IS THAT?? Wft....'; 'Gifted a new head for Christmas….'; 'totally different head'. 'Who's face is that?'; 'Full head transplant'; 'Lots of money and a good plastic surgeon and we can all be this beautiful'. 'Wow amazing what tons of plastic surgery, ozempic and money can do'; 'Is this the same Kelly Osbourne or..'; 'New face, who dis?' 'Where is Kelly?'; 'can't imagine how many surgeries, fillers, botox injections, skin treatments, etc. were involved in this transformation. When you no longer look anything like yourself, what exactly did you accomplish?' 'Teenage Kelly would not be happy about this'; 'What in the millions dollars worth of plastic surgery is this'; 'Is she AI?!' Kelly has undergone many changes in her appearance over the years. In 2020, she revealed that she had quietly undergone gastric sleeve surgery two years before, leading to a jaw-dropping 85lb weight loss. She also previously admitted to having injections to change the shape of her face, and make her jaw look 'skinnier,' after suffering with TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). However, Kelly has repeatedly and furiously denied that she has had any cosmetic procedures besides Botox. Last year, she declared that she was a 'huge fan' of plastic surgery, but insisted that she was too scared to get anything done after seeing her mother go under the knife so many times. She told People: 'I am a huge fan of plastic surgery. What it does for people is amazing. It can change people's lives and give them the confidence they've been lacking, and make people feel beautiful in the way they want to feel beautiful. 'But I've never done anything but Botox. I'm too scared. I've always been in the camp of if you think it's broken, fix it. You don't have to be stuck with a nose you hate for the rest of your life. So yes, I'm a huge fan.' She explained the root of her fear, saying: 'I watched my mum go through every recovery from everything she's ever had done, and it looks awful'. They raced to the comments to admit they could barely recognise the star and accused her of getting heavy cosmetic work done that had made her look as though she'd had a 'full head transplant' Sharon, 72, has undergone a range of procedures including a gastric band, full facelift, tummy tuck, an eyelift, breast implants, abdominoplasty and Botox. While she has branded her 2021 facelift the 'worst thing she ever did' after the procedure left her 'looking like a cyclops' and 'Quasimodo'. Back in March last year, Sharon shocked the public after she made her return to UK reality TV on Celebrity Big Brother. The star couldn't hide her weight loss on the show as she revealed doctors 'can't figure out' why she hasn't been able to gain weight back after she stopped using Ozempic months ago. 'The doctors can't figure it out,' she said. 'But I think it's just because I'm getting older and as you get older you lose weight anyway and shrink and shrivel off.' On why she decided to start receiving Ozempic injections, Sharon said 'everyone was doing it'.
