A Celebrity Couple Breakup & This One Hurts

I wasn’t so upset when Brad and Jen broke up; I was a wee bit upset when Brad and Angelina  split; I giggled at Kanye and Kim mostly because I saw breakup as soon as they said, ‘I do.’

And now Freddie Mercury and Lance Bass are done. During Pride month? Now, before you come for me, I must say that I know Freddie has passed on and I know Lance has a husband, but I’m talking Freddie Mercury and Lance Bass, the Denver Zoo’s iconic same-sex flamingo couple.

A Denver Zoo Facebook post about the socialization and pairing habits of Chilean and American flamingos casually broke the news this week:

“Flamingos are extremely social by nature and flocks consist of collections of partnerships. This includes not only male-female breeding pairs, but also strong bonds between same-sex pairs … while Chilean flamingo Lance Bass and American flamingo Freddie Mercury are no longer a pair, they were paired up for several years.”

Note, that unlike celebrities who take their breakups to the press, Freddie and Lance have not asked for privacy at this challenging time.

Which might be due to the fact that Freddie, that whore, has already moved with another … younger … female …flamingo. Clearly this is an attempt at making Lance, who I must say is single and ready to "flamingle," jealous.

My heart breaks.

  2. I hear that sometimes the desire for eggs can outweigh all other passions. I personally wouldn't know but look at all the trophy wives/beards out there. So sad. This made me grin until my cheeks hurt. Thanks, Bobulah.

  3. I’m devastated. I hope there’s a Michael Turchin flamingo for Lance to land on. (And thank you for not telling me about some vacuous, self-important, self-absorbed celebrity couple and their conscious uncoupling.)

    At least there were no flaminglets (it’s a word!) to be fought over.
