Cover yourself up, Love

While American popstars like Amerie and Kelly Clarkson get special funding to learn how to nearly-but-not-quite show their knickers onstage and in photoshoots, their British counterparts are not so lucky.

Some UK acts have coped quite well with the lack of professional guidance and government funding, and remain quietly dignified in all their skirtraising enterprises.

Others, however, have taken the lack of regulation and…well…


You can always trust someone from Runcorn to take things too far.

This is EXACTLY why our popstars need proper funding for what they do. To stop incidents like this, and make sure that future generations of our song and dance elite don’t make the same mistakes, contact your local MP, TODAY, and demand better popstar training.
