Pope Benny 16 put on his dancing shoes and burst into an unexpected vamp today at the Vatican, as his way of sending a greeting to the people of New Zealand.
The Vatican house band, Bad Lunchmeat, played a few bars of “The Stripper” before His Holiness shuffled off for a papal pedicure.

in can you believe it?, for reals, pope, stuff I like, what did I say?
Pope Benedict XVI was subdued by a few cardinals after he tried to fly during a weekly audience at the Paul VI Hall in Vatican City.
Later, the Pontiff, 83, sang a brief medley of Patti LaBelle hits in front of a sculptural tribute to one of her 1990′s hairdos.
Clap your hands for Jesus!

Pope Benny as he appeared in Vatican City today to kick-off the Christmas season in his St. Nick cape at the Immaculate Conception celebration… and Jerry Hall, as she appeared today at Selfridges in London to pimp her new book, “My Life in Pictures.”
Sex sells.

Pope Benny, who last week said that condoms are okay for male prostitutes, receives a kiss from Cardinal Leonardo Sandri at the end of the Vespers prayer in Vatican City.. and Tinky Winky and Lala of Teletubbies fame.
Religious leaders have questioned the sexuality of the pair.

in coinkydink, girls will be girls, lookalikes, pope, unsanitary
Pope Benny looks like he had a rough night of partying on Saturday, as seen this morning with a hot bear friend at a mass in St. Peter’s Basilica for the opening of a synod of Bishops who will chat about the Middle East, altar boys and fashion tips.
Those aren’t swastikas on his brocade muumuu, those are iron crosses. I think.
The Bishops gathered around for a surprise performance by Eydie Gorme.

Pope Benedict XVI as seen at some giant Catholic education celebration in London, and Edith Ann as played by Lily Tomlin.
So alike, and yet only one got into trouble playing with children.

in kids, lookalikes, pope
Like a lot of people would like to do, Betty Deuce gives some shady side-eye to Pope Benny, who’s trying to fly away like Sister Bertrille.
Thursday’s confab between the monarch and Ben marks the first ever state visit by a Pope… and from Betty’s expression, the last.
Pope talked about how regrettable all that sex abuse was, and how the church needs to help the victims now. Kinda like trusting BP to clean up the oil.
