Dame Edna and the Pope - Soon a Saint?

Hello Possums!

It's been a busy ole time in the whirling world of our favourite glittering gigastar!

Most recently, she's been the featured guest on BBC One's "The One Show" , dismissing and downplaying Barry Humphries' new book "Handling Edna", which apparently makes a few claims that Edna is not too pleased about.

During her interview, she also let slip that she's having dinner with the Pope during his visit to the UK. Of course we're not surprised that Dame Edna and the Pope are good friends...she's the confidante and advisor to the world's most powerful leaders. In fact, we've heard that little Benny (that's what she likes to call him!) pesters her day and night for spiritual advice.

She also tries to offer him some fashion tips, because she's doesn't like the idea of a man wearing a frock. In fact, she thinks it's a little bit yucky!

And for all this assistance over the years, we're told that a Sainthood is in the pipeline for Dame Edna! Isn't that gorgeous?!

But we know that you're dying to find out more about "Handling Edna", so here's Barry to give you the scoop:



Want to find out more? Then quicksticks! Get your tickets for Barry's talk at the V&A, or go to his signing at Hatchards Books. The world can't wait to read this book!!!
