Dita Von Teese is terrified of the sun.

The pale-skinned burlesque star, who is the face of MAC Viva Glam make-up, says her greatest beauty secret is to stay away from sunshine.

Dita Von Teese is taking legal action over a swan.

The burlesque performer has filed a lawsuit against Fred Knaff over claims the 10 foot-high bird statue - which has a fountainhead in the beak in which she can perform her act - malfunctioned at the debut of her show last November.

Dita Von Teese has been photographed for a new foot fetish book.

The burlesque performer - who is no stranger to stripping on stage - shows off her naked body and tiny feet in the new shots, taken by photographer Ed Fox.

Dita Von Teese was pleasured with a stiletto shoe in a pornographic lesbian movie.

The burlesque performer is the recipient of the bizarre sex toy in girl-on-girl footage from 1999 fetish film 'Pin-Ups 2' which has now been released on the internet. Dita is also shown being spanked and romping with two attractive women wearing corsets in the footage.

The best thing about Dita Von Teese's divorce? She's gotten rid of the drugs in her life. According to the burlesque star, her divorce to heavy metal rocker Marilyn Manson has brought a long list of good things, and one of them is her split from drugs.

The former couple married in November 2005, which lasted a little over a year. The 35-year-old model had said their marriage ended because she wasn't supportive of his partying or his relationship with another girl.
