Samantha Fox Statue Idea Scrapped
A little over two weeks ago, it was reported that the country of Serbia had plans to...ahem...erect a statue in honor of the 80's pop bombshell.
Well, fuggedaboutit.
Plans for a statue of former page three girl Samantha Fox in Serbia have been scrapped.The tribute was ditched after she snubbed fans and then failed to turn up for a ministerial dinner staged in her honour after a concert in Serbia.
The former pin-up said: "The crowd made rude comments about my breasts."
The British singer had stormed off after the gig in the central Serbian town of Cacak after the crowd started singing a chant about wanting to see her breasts.
Local media said the hall she had played in had been only half full and the audience had made it clear they were not there to hear her sing.
Fans had last month said they were planning the statue in Cacak because they thought she was an idol who deserved a proper monument to her talents.
Now the plans have reportedly been scrapped after the backers pulled out following the concert.
Now if you read the original story, it seems pretty clear exactly what "talents" they were most interested in honoring.
Fan Obrad Banovic said: "We love her. She is an authentic sex symbol of 1980s so why shouldn't we have a monument to her. Other towns have their heroes in parks so why can't we?"We are also aware that her most famous attributes may require special treatment so we are planning on using the best quality marble only."
Famous attributes, indeed!
Um, is she clueless?
