Deborah and Jessie

Gain a Deborah, lose a Jessie

Deborah and JessieFrench Kissing in the USA singer Deborah Harry has a new album to promote with her band Blondie and has used the opportunity to talk about having had relationships with women as well as men.

She tells the Daily Mail that her longer relationships have all been with men but there were women in the mix too; ‘I don’t know if I have any specific requirements,’ she said. ‘Just somebody nice, who has a good sense of humour and loves to have sex. What more could you ask for?’

Meanwhile Jessie J, who came out as bisexual in 2011, has taken to Twitter to declare herself ‘straight now’. She drops the dreaded “phase” word in there, and dismisses things as being part of growing up and figuring herself out, but doesn’t deny anything having been true at the time.

Down a Jessie, up a Deborah. In pop icon stats, the bis are surely net gainers this week.
