sourced item on salon.com: "You know things are getting bad when even John Wayne Bobbitt skips out on your party for moral reasons.
The APA news agency reports that porn stars including Bobbitt, Chi Chi La Rue and the lesbian duo Janine and Julia Ann are refusing to attend Thursday's annual Vienna Opera Ball to protest the power of the far right in Austria. The party boycott follows that of mainstream stars like Catherine Deneuve, Claudia Cardinale and Jacqueline Bisset.
"I've given away my ticket," one sex magazine publisher told the news agency. "I'm not going." Ah, the seamy underside of party politics."
Sensing something slightly amiss with this whole notion of porn stars going to the Vienna Opera Ball, particularly John Wayne Bobbitt, we contacted Chi Chi La Rue. La Rue was neither in Vienna nor had any plans of going there soon.
La Rue: "This is out of left field. This is probably the most bizarre thing I ever heard."
G. Ross: "Is it safe to say you were not invited to the Vienna Opera Ball?"
LaRue: "I was not invited."
G. Ross: "But in years past you were, right?"
LaRue: "Never heard of it. But this is absolutely hilarious."
