promiscuous
Being sexually active with many different people. Depending on its use, it can be good or bad.
Men, as they have usually set the standards, are rarely regarded/looked down upon as promiscuous. Women, on the other hand, aren't so lucky, despite that the tide is turning in their favor.
Still, sexual behavior has little, if anything, to do with someone as a person. Somebody can be very active sexually and yet be caring and thoughtful at the same time... although it doesn't apply to everyone.

Britney Spears has a reputation for being promiscuous. She's the epitome of the vamp... or slut, as I should probably say.

britney spears
The sole member of a type of prostitute. Known to be sleazy, intellectually challenged, and often biased (once said of the war Iraq: "I, like, think that we should trust our president"). Has a "singing" voice that sounds like a whining fly (which usually sings superficial, inane lyrics and is often drowned out by monotone, obnoxious "music"), puts on performances that come from strip clubs, wears as little as possible and gets away with it, constantly contradicts herself (first saying that she's not a role model, then saying that she wants to be a role model that everyone can relate to (and almost nobody can)).
Sadly, despite her smutty reputation and that she's clearly no role model, many little kids look up to her. Her "beauty" is the true reason for her fame, not her "music"... her flaunting of her body rides the fine line between pride and exploitation. Apparantly thinking that showing off her rather revolting body, flipping the bird to audiances, being disrespectful to her public, and being a total ditz will earn her the older, more mature audiance that she's wanting, she does just that... and has failed at earning an older following.

Why? Why is this Britney Spears famous? Just for showing off her nude body, drinking underage, and being a total sleaze? If it (the music industry) was for the music and not for the glitz and glamour, then she'd be back in the brothels and strip clubs of Hickville Louisiana.

Piaf
Refers to the legendary French singer, Edith Piaf (b. Dec. 15, 1915-d. Oct. 11, 1963), who was known for her petite appearance; her chaotic personal life; and her powerful, husky, emotive voice.
Born into poverty in Paris as Edith Giovanna Gassion, her mother abandoned her at two months of age, leaving her in the "care" of her alcoholic maternal grandparents. Her father, a noted acrobat, sent his daughter to live with his mother, who was a madam in a Normandy brothel, while he went to war; he reclaimed her when he returned from the war and took her with him on his travels- because of this, she received very little formal education.
Edith allegedly lost her sight for a short time between ages 3 and 7, possibly due to an infection.
At 15, Edith left him to return to Paris, where she earned a living singing in the streets and in seedy cabarets. As luck had it, a proprieter spotted her and launched her career, billing her as La Mome Piaf (Parisian slang for "The Little Sparrow," from which she took her stage name); the name suited her tiny, frail figure. With a voice that wrung out every last drop of emotion, the waif with the heartbreaking voice took France by storm.
As successful as her career, Edith, eager to find love, went through a string of lovers, failing to find the right one. Her only child, Marcelle, died in infancy, and the great love of her life, the boxer Marcel Cerdan, was killed in a plane crash. Edith herself was in three car crashes. Edith took to drugs and alcohol to ease her suffering. She would also lose almost all of her fortune and was virtually penniless when she died.
The melancholy, anguished songs that she sung (many of which she composed) reflected many of her losses. Her most well known songs were La Vie en Rose; Milord; Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien; Mon Legionnaire; L'Accordioniste; Mon Dieu; and L'Hymne A L'Amour.

heterosexual
A person who is attracted to the opposite gender. Heterosexuality is the most common sexual orientation in the world (but by no means "normal". It is simply more common than some variations of human sexuality).
Only tiny minorities are exclusivly heterosexual or exlusively homosexual (somewhere between 2 to 5% each); most are somewhere in between those two extremes.
Slang terms for heterosexuials include straight.

Slang terms for heterosexuials include straight.
Many (ignorant/prejudiced) heterosexuals like to abuse or try to change sexual minorities, like homosexuals (who love members of the same sex), bisexuals (who love both sexes), pansexuals (who are love anybody; male, female, intersex, whoever), and asexuals (who have no sexual desires whatsoever), and seem to believe that these people can become straight, despite that sexual orientation is pretty much fixed for life.
What causes heterosexuality? People always ask what causes pan-, bi-, a-, and homosexuality, but hardly question heterosexuality.
