Marilyn

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MARILYN?

Boy George’s feminine best friend Marilyn stirred up quite a furor a few years back when he declared that Gavin Rossdale was “the love of my life” – they had a drug fueled five year fling back in the 80’s. Marilyn says he was a miserable heroin addict for 20 years but is now reformed. He and George remained friends through thick and thin, and now Boy George has produced a comeback single for his old pal. Interestingly, Marilyn has ditched the long hair and makeup and looks like a man now. He’s billed on the record as “Mister Marilyn.”

GAVIN ROSSDALE’S EX-BOYFRIEND MARILYN STILL HAS A CRUSH

We know ONE person who is THRILLED that Gavin Rossdale is single again. The London music scene in the 80’s was loaded with drugs and cross-dressing – Boy George and his best friend Marilyn were everywhere. In fact, Marilyn used to call us at Star magazine with gossip tips in those days. In 1995 Boy George revealed in his biography that Marilyn had a romance with Gavin Rossdale! Marilyn was totally smitten and claimed it lasted for 5 years but Gavin played it down and called it a fling. Marilyn has since given up drugs and resumed his real name of Peter Robinson and turned up at the LGBT Awards in London. He’s just waiting for the phone to ring!

To her credit, Gwen Stefani has put up with a lot to be a rock star’s wife. Gwen and Gavin Rossdale married in 2002, and two years later a DNA test proved that Gavin was the father of London model Daisy Lowe, now 21. (Daisy, above at a London fashion event, is six feet tall and looks a lot like her father.) Daisy’s mother is Pearl Lowe, a songwriter turned fashion designer in the UK. This year, Gavin confessed that the rumors were true – he DID have an affair with gender bending singer Peter Robinson AKA Marilyn, back in the 80’s. Gwen rolls with the punches, but we wonder: what’s next?

GAVIN ROSSDALE HAS FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED HIS TEENAGE FLING WITH A MAN

We’re guessing that Gavin Rossdale had some serious ‘splaining to do to his wife Gwen Stefani after his startling interview with Details magazine in which he finally verified his youthful affair with another man. Rumors of Gavin’s teenage fling with gender bending 80’s performer Marilyn (real name Peter Robinson) who was a close friend of Boy George, have floated for years. Marilyn insisted Gavin was “the love of my life.” (young Gavin and Marilyn both look rather girly in photo above) Boy George backed him up, and after years of dismissing the stories, Gavin has come clean. He said it was “experimental.” Immediately after giving the interview Gavin is said to have panicked and asked to have his confession removed, but the magazine refused. Gavin realized his wife didn’t know about the affair, but she certainly does now. How do you think Gwen reacted to the news?
