Drama.

Rufus Wainwright: always lovin' the drama. Here he is explaining why he's in drag on the cover of his new album, Want Two:
"At first, I just thought it would be a Sleeping Beauty character, and it could be the typical story of being awoken by your loved one and riding off into the sunset on a unicorn. But a friend of mine pointed out the story of the Lady of Shallot. That she, kind of like Sleeping Beauty, would sew and knit. And then one day she saw Sir Lancelot walk by the window and fell in love with him. And he proceeded to rape her. Then she went crazy and got into a boat and sang herself to death down the river. And everybody could hear her in the village. So it's kind of an eerie end. It ended up being a much darker story than Sleeping Beauty. I feel, after the fact, that that is who I'm meant to represent: the Lady of Shallot."

Is he gay or something?
