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.
