Transgender nightlife queen Amanda Lepore is inarguably awesome in her fabulous cartoonishness. Now the "My Pussy" singer is part of a Jawbone Bluetooth advertising campaign, which isn't so surprising when you consider she's also done advertisments for M.A.C. Cosmetics, Swatch, Armani and MTV. The ad appears in this week's New Yorker—is America ready? They sure as hell better get ready. In her words: "My pussy is famous; my pussy is expensive." [Copyranter]
Every year, the most awful people in New York jet to Vienna for the Lifeball, a fancy-dress fundraiser for HIV/AIDS research. On the Austrian Airlines private charter this year: pseudo-heiress Lydia Hearst, the character upon whom Ugly Betty's Amanda Sommers should have been based; ubiquitous plump-lipped tranny Amanda Lepore; club kid Richie Rich; gender-bending party promoter Andre J.; scene photographer Patrick McMullan; and a disgusted Gawker spy. The Lifeball's worthy cause typically protects the absurd celebrity freeloaders—but not this time. Here's Lydia Hearst at the first night's cocktail party, abandoned by her airplane snog-buddy, Markus Schenkenberg. After the jump, our correspondent's shocking tale of mile-high blow and blow-jobs.

The Village Voice'sMichael Musto very nearly got his ass kicked by an overzealous bouncer last week at Amanda Lepore's birthday party at Lotus. Worse yet, he almost didn't get in. "The security guy at the door—one of those power-mad, not-loved-enough-as-a-child types—actually gave me a hard time because I don't have a driver's license or walk around with my passport taped to my forehead," writes Musto. Or possibly the door dude was made suspicious by a grown man showing up to a nightclub via rickety bicycle? [VV]

The Heatherettes, Tinsley Mortimer, JC Chasez, Amanda Lepore, Lance Bass, Richie Rich, and Jenna Jameson were all on the same plane, which, unfortunately, landed safely in Vienna. [NYM]
As exciting as still photos of Amanda Lepore and her incredibly firm chest may be, they lack the heaving frisson that video conveys. Fortunately, Gawker videographer Richard Blakeley was also on hand for last night's Heaven to Hell book signing and after party. Above, the signing itself. What follows is the afterparty video, at Plumm. It's like Blue States Lose come to life! (A modern Xanadu!) And now Amanda Lepore is banned. For the day.

Now that Britney and Lindsay have retired from crotch shots, it's time someone filled the unwanted nudity void. And who better to do so than incredibly overexposed trannie Amanda Lepore and her rock hard nipples? As punishment for their sins, we sent Intern Stephanie and the one-and-only Nikola Tamindzic to Taschen's SoHo store where photographer-music video director-celebrity loverboy David LaChapelle and his favorite shemale gal pal autographed copies of his most recent collection, Heaven to Hell. View our gallery here or Nikola's here. More »
Because she's made of plastic anyhow, New York's patron saint of transsexuals, Amanda Lepore, is now the inspiration for a new line of dolls.
The horror isn't without good cause: All proceeds will go to the Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS. At right is the sketch for the Work Out Gear by David Barton doll; Couture Baby and Fairytale Glam Lepore dolls will also be available. Sure to be the hottest accessory at the next Motherfucker, they can be purchased exclusively at Jeffrey on April 11th. And if you're worried about the doll's "authenticity," we're pretty sure that underneath those little clothes, things look exactly like they do for Barbie and Amanda.
