They’re at it again! This week, Samantha & Nathalie, the lesbian couple that appeared on the French reality TV show “Secret Story”, were on TV again, this time as part of an episode of the show "Ca se discute" that focused on reality TV. On the show, the couple was shown fighting because Nathalie doesn't forgive Samantha for what happened with Marylin, another contender of “Secret Story”, and Samantha doesn't forgive Nathalie because she was with Fabrice, a (male) member of her band “Plus si affinité”. You can read and watch more about this story here.

Germany 

• Lesbian Comedian Hella von Sinnen told German newspaper “Express” how she met her partner of 18 years, Cornelia Scheel. Apparently, they met at a party where Scheel, the step-daughter of former German Federal President Walther Scheel, danced with German folk musician Heino while Hella was flirting with his wife Hannelore. As von Sinnen puts it, it clicked immediately when Heino returned to their table with Scheel in tow.
  In the interview, Hella von Sinnen also talks about her upcoming 50th birthday on February 2nd and the TV special dedicated to her that is going to be hosted by her colleagues Hugo Egon Balder and Dirk Bach.

• Don’t forget to tune in to Ulrike Folkerts on TV this and next month or, if you live in or close to Hamburg, to see her on stage.

UK

• Last November, we reported about British model Jodie Marsh who, after looking for a husband on British TV, suddenly told everybody who wanted (or didn’t want to but had no choice) to listen that she was currently dating a woman, a hairdresser by the name of Nina. This week, British newspapers report that Marsh intends to get married to Nina. According to the Daily Star, Marsh said about Nina that “she is the best person I have ever been out with really and I think this one will have a happy ending.” We hope so, too, and that this is real love and not just a publicity stunt. Because if it is the latter, we will probably be forced to see more pictures of the “my eyes, my eyes” category, and I don’t know how much more of that I can stand. Anyway, Congratulations to the brides.

  

• British singer and comedian Rosie Wilby will bring her critically acclaimed comedy show “I Am Nesia” to London, starting with a free show at Peckham Library on January 14th and then two further shows at Camden's Etcetera Theatre on January 15th and 16th. She talks about her show and her experiences as a lesbian comedian in an interview with pinknews.co.uk.
