Dita Von Teese can't talk to men she's attracted to

Dita Von Teese “can’t talk” to men she is attracted to.

The burlesque star – who is divorced from goth rocker Marilyn Manson – revealed she loses the power of speech if she meets a good-looking guy.

She said: “I don’t claim to be a good judge of character in relationships. I get so nervous when I’m attracted to someone that I can’t talk. I’m so scared of rejection – I’m not good around boys.”

Dita, 35, also revealed she is enjoying her new-found single status.

She added: “I’m single for the first time now, and allowing men to bring me a lot of pleasure. Whenever I’m in a relationship, I’m blind to everyone else in the world, and all the chapters in my life are defined by my relationships.

“With my marriage, I believe that everything happened for a reason, and I don’t think I had the power to change anything. I did my very best.”
