Gender-bending superstar Amanda Lepore was deported from Great Britain 10 days ago, on her way to a nightclub appearance.
Miss Lepore's mistake was to tell immigration officials she would be "working" (wrong answer!) during her visit, for which she did not have the correct visa.
So they spun her trannie fanny right around and put her on a plane back to New York. ("In the stewardess aisle," adds an appalled pal.)
Lepore tells me: "They kept me in a detention room for 11 hours. It was the closest thing to jail I've ever been in."
Lepore was to perform her new songs "Champagne" and "My Hair Looks Fierce" at a London club. She also missed a booking to appear in the fashion show for Boy George's label, B-Rude.
At least the Brits treated her with their trademark politesse. "They weren't mean," she told me. "They said I would be welcome back if I had the right work permit."
However, they did confiscate her purse during the detention, denying her access to such essentials as eyedrops and lipstick.
"I felt retarded," the transsexual temptress said. "But then, I am blond."
