Dita Von Teese will never be a pop star because she can’t sing and dance at the same time. The burlesque dancer – who was previously married to goth rocker Marilyn Manson – has refused offers to launch a music career because she can’t multi-task on stage.
“I’m not a good singer. I have recorded some songs in that Marilyn Monroe style but I lip synched them when I performed them at The Crazy Horse Paris. It would be much too difficult to sing and dance burlesque at the same time!
“I know myself and what makes me different. No one could sell me an idea of a formula for success for a pop star. No one could talk me into that.”
Dita has also slammed the new crop of rival burlesque performers, claiming she is more committed to the profession because she was in the industry before it became popular. The 37-year-old brunette beauty explained to graziadaily.co.uk:
“I started performing in 1991 before it was cool. I’ve loved it and worked hard. It could be that or it could be luck and being in the right place at the right time. But I like to think it’s because I’ve worked hard and not just cashed in on what’s cool at the time.”
I didn’t realize burlesque was becoming more and more popular. She’s the only dancer you ever hear of in the media. Are you a fan of the burlesque show? I was actually invited to see Dita perform and she really is something. Very sexy!

One of her limits was Marilyn Manson. What does that say?
Thank you for that, now, could you give a call to Britney?
I don’t like her. I think what she does is very slutty.
She is so pale.

Unlike so many others out there! This post made me love her even more.
exactly!
Love her!!! It’s kind of cool that shes clear and honest about what she’s good at.
i saw her a few years ago she was “dancing” on a giant glass . she was so beautiful
She’s probably referring to the Pussycat Dolls and the Peepshow in Las Vegas. Just because you don’t know performers names doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They may be local people who do things in their own cities. When something becomes popular everybody does it on a large and small scale. Look at the vampire craze because of the Twilight movies.
Exactly. Every city has a burlesque show and not because of Dita.
She is not a performer, she is a stripper. You take your clothes off for money its stripping. End of story. Lets not put her on a pedistool cuz she is ‘popular’ she honed her skilled in strip clubs just like the rest of them. She needs to stop acting like she is above everyone with that stupid sense to entitlement. Its laughable.
i second that

Her sense of entitlement is laughable. Nothing more then a glorified stripper with zero education and personality. Get over yourself Dita, your a 40 year old stripper. Congrats.
She is flawless.
she looks like a geisha in that first pic.
Yeah, I agree!
Love this woman.
