A sexually obliging bartender dishes the dirt on Hollywood royalty, but are we really any the wiser?
As if the appalling movie W.E. was not wound enough, here is news that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, on miserable occasions, when driven to depths of boredom, actually had sex with each other instead of with members of their own sex. All of a sudden the devastated looks on their haggard faces is explained. Who says this?
