Dita Von Teese reveals a little to The New York Times. Her worst moment on stage?"My hair caught on fire. I do an act where I sit on a vanity table that has candelabras on it. Well, there was a lot of hair spray going on. I realized what was happening and put my hair out. The show went on."

Oh wow--I remember when Dita's hair caught fire!!! She just kept going and I don't think the audience even knew--she was in the big bathtub and had water available. It was quite impressive!
