it's too early for april fool's, but...
Songwriter-producer Linda Perry is sometimes credited with "creating" Pink, and helped propel Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani and James Blunt to superstardom.
But the pop kingmaker can't find a front woman for a new album's worth of songs she has written in the voice of a black lesbian.
"The process has been a real struggle," a source tells us. "She has been auditioning all hot black lesbians to sing her songs, but is having absolutely no luck at all."
Perry, who fronted '90s band 4 Non Blondes, wanted to create a "racier" kind of artist, says the music insider.
I spotted this in the comments on Crunk and Disorderly--apparently it's from the NY Daily News but I can't find it. It's bizarre, to say the least.

is she only interested in new talent? or is she saying that she cannot find a talented 'hot black lesbian'?
really?
is that kind of like 'The L Word',where the only black lesbian is mixed, and the other black woman is in recovery, abandoned her child and is a hot mess?
i wonder what she considers hot?
interesting.
This is really strange. I take issue with the very idea of Perry creating someone's else's seemingly 'authentic' perspective in music and now working backwards to find someone of the applicable race and sexual orientation to front the songs. Mind you, I guess she did the opposite with Pink: while she's now an MTV rock chick, I remember when she was launched, BET-style, as the soulful white girl with the 'urban' edge.
