When Bucks Fizz told us we were gonna see some more, they whipped off the girls' longer skirts to reveal shorter ones beneath.

It was simplicity made pop. Not for The Fizz tawdry images and allusions to lesbian sex.

But times move on and the Sun says this year's Eurovision Song Contest is to be the "raciest" one ever.

The show that has thrown up Israeli transvestites and Cliff Richard will now feature Russian pop duo Tatu.

The pair, Julia Volkova and Lena Katina, will show how far Russia has moved away from its dour Communist roots when they perform their song Ne ver, ne bojsia (No Faith, No Belief).

Says Julia: "We want to blast everything that's gone before with our sexy act." And that that [sic] goes for this year's German entry, Lou.

"She looks like she's worn out more men in her life than we have had vodka bottles," says Lena. "We would push her straight off the edge of the bed."

And that's Lou, the red-haired singer of non-specified age, who must never be confused with Geri Halliwell.

Geri's singing career has not yet forcedher to find the bottom of a vodka bottle or to enter Eurovision, but she is plunging ever lower.

Appearing on a late-night chat show in the United States, Geri turned to Fred Durst, singer of Limp Bizkit, and said, "If I was a guy like you, I'd wanna do Britney."

Since Britney can hold a tune, our advice is that if Geri's gonna "do" anyone - as man or woman - she should stick to someone less challenging - like Lou.
