Dita Von Teese is getting ready to leave the pasties behind (at least for now) and try her hand at singing.

She has already secured a record deal with Interscope in Europe and her first release is set to be a cover of Irving Berlin’s “Lazy”. Her song choice doesn’t surprise me, given her persona, because it was written by Berlin in 1924.

Even though I can’t find a sample anywhere for the song, even the one covered by Ella Fitzgerald, given Berlin’s other works, it seems that this is right up Dita’s alley. I also searched high and low for something sung by Dita, but to no avail.

Dita has also commented that her previous boyfriends have always asked her to give up doing what she loves, dancing, to support their careers.

She says, “To begin with, they all say how great my career is. But when it comes down to it, they want their careers to be more important than mine. I’ve had many a man ask me to quit so I can support him and be there for him all the time.”

I wouldn’t give anything up, either, Dita. You go girl. Can’t wait to hear your music.
