Why are so many showbiz babes obsessed with kissing girls?

By Katy Walford

MADONNA'S been at it again... locking lips with a female dancer.

The Queen of Pop was photographed in an all-female embrace in Paris last week during a private showcase for her new album "Hard Candy".

It's the second time the Madonna has hit headlines for snogging a girl on stage - having famously kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera during a show at the Video Music Awards, in 2003.

Now we've put together a sizzling slideshow of stars in clinches, which seems to prove that everywhere you look these days there's a babe kissing another babe at a showbiz bash or a steamy lesbian scene in a new film or TV drama.

So why are our showbiz stars so obsessed with lesbian chic?

Psychologist Dr Pam Spurr says it's all motivated by modern a desire to shock and to gain male attention.

Dr Pam said: "It's amazing how times have changed in only one decade. Ten years ago a lesbian kiss between two celebrity women would've been a huge No-No on mainstream TV.

"What was once a big taboo is now seen as merely a touch risque and shocking - and just plain sexy fun.

"It's viewed as something to tease and tantalise us, but not harmful. Two big changes are responsible for this - the fact that we talk about sex so much more and that your sexuality is not such a big deal. So mimicking a bit of lesbianism isn't shocking.

"In fact it is the most common, male fantasy: being able to watch two women together and then hoping they'll get to join in."
