British author Sebastian Horsley was denied entry into the US yesterday on the grounds of 'moral turpitude.' The author of Dandy in the Underworld, his autobiography that details his sex and drug addictions, said he thought that the problem might have been his flamboyant dress and top hat.

I don't suppose for one minute that his exclusion could have anything to do with his admissions about sleeping with more than 1,000 prostitutes, working as a male escort, or being in and out of rehab to treat drug addiction. Or his staged self-crucifixion in the Philippines in 2000.

Horsley's parting shot, as he was loaded on a plane bound for the UK was, "God bless America, land of the free, but sadly not the home of the depraved."

You read it here first folks!
