Dita Von Teese Prepares For Ex-lovers

Dita Von Teese always looks her best in case she runs into a former lover.
The burlesque dancer - who is divorced from rocker Marilyn Manson - is convinced she will bump into an old flame if she leaves the house bare-faced.

She explained: "I have this theory that the more you let your guard down and get lazy with your looks you will run into your ex-boyfriend or his new girlfriend. The key is taking a moment for yourself."

Dita performed two seductive routines at a party to launch her friend Amanda Eliasch's new book 'Cloak And Dagger Butterfly' on Tuesday (17.01.09).

During one, she slowly stripped to a diamond-encrusted G-string before slipping into a gold bath full of bubbles.

For the second, Dita performed her renowned Martini glass routine, which sees her dancing before splashing around in the over-sized goblet.

However, the star revealed she has not always been so confident and started dancing to help improve her self-esteem.

She told Fox News: "I'm not confident at all. That's how I started doing what I do. I felt very ordinary and not very glamorous so I decided one day that I was going to have to just make my own dream world."I do things that make me feel confident, like doing my hair, putting my red lipstick on, having my nails done and just pampering myself so I'm ready to face the world."

Dita Von Teese is set to fancy French audiences

MAYBE Paris isn't so gay after all.

Not judging by their latest stunning celeb guest anyway.

Busty Burlesque beauty DITA VON TEESE is set to titillate French audiences after booking a return to perform striptease at Paris' most famous nude revue.

The pint-sized star, who has boosted the popularity of Burlesque with her inventive striptease act - using larger-than-life size martini glasses, carousel horses and rhinestone-encrusted bubble baths as props, has been booked in for a two-week run at the Crazy Horse in the French capital.

And she plans to show off her musical skills during the shows, which begin on February 1 and run through to Valentine's Day, by performing songs she has recorded.

Although, you'd have some kind of couple to go to a strip show on Valentine's Day.

Von Teese, who was married goth rocker MARILYN MANSON, said: "I feel that Paris is a place that still appreciates its showgirls. I feel I have to raise the bar.

"I've always had a real fascination with the Crazy Horse ever since I was a teenager and I found a picture of this line of nearly nude toy soldiers standing at attention.

"(I want to) combine the Crazy Horse style with what I do, which is classic American burlesque."
Better get that Eurostar ticket booked then, eh lads...

Dita Von Teese has revealed that she turned down legendary lothario Russell Brand.

The burlesque star, 35, admitted she ignored his calls asking for a date.

‘I will not be shagging Russell Brand,' she tells the Daily Star. 'I was the subject of one of his [radio] phone calls once but I didn’t answer, thank goodness!

‘It was just good female intuition.'

Despite swapping mobile numbers with the 33-year-old comedian, Dita is adamant nothing will happen between them.

‘Just because I gave him my number does not meal I'll be going on a date with him.

'But he's a lot of fun. I like him.'

Dita Von Teese wants to move to Paris.

The burlesque dancer - who recently unveiled her own underwear collection for Wonderbra - says the French capital is her favourite place and she dreams of living there.

She said: "I love being in Paris more than anywhere else. There is something about the beauty of the city that can't compare to anywhere else for me.

"I feel at ease and that somehow I really belong there. I am quite sure it will become home for me someday."

Dita also revealed troubled British singer Amy Winehouse once performed for her and her family.

She added: "I will never forget the time I went to Amy Winehouse's home and she sang and played guitar for two hours for me, my mother and sisters.

Burlesque star designs luxurious undies for Wonderbra

Dita Von Teese has unveiled her new underwear range for Wonderbra.

The burlesque star, 35, has created limited edition items for the firm and modelled them in a series of saucy shots.

‘I am very proud of the lingerie that I’ve created for Wonderbra, because it has all the beautiful detail of sexy, sensual and glamorous lingerie but the fit is perfect to wear under your everyday clothes,’ she explains.

‘I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath.’

Dita, who used to be married to goth rocker Marilyn Manson, insists she designed the range to promote body confidence amongst women – and not just for a man’s pleasure.

‘Lingerie shouldn’t be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you,’ she says.

‘It’s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.’

Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese goes on sale in Europe from 23 September.
