Yeowch. It takes a special (ed) kind of person to want anything in the genital area pierced. My friend AC has a Prince Albert and let me tell ya, that thing is intimidating. He can hang a fry pan off it! And has. I have interesting friends. Anyway, Fantasia Barrino stopped into an NYC piercing parlor recently to switch up her clit piercing.

Fantasia, now starring in “The Color Purple” on Broadway, used some down time Thursday at New York’s Unimax, a tattoo- and piercing-supply company where she had the jewelry in her clitoral piercing changed. She tipped $10 for the free service and was very friendly to staff, our spy reports.

Thanks for the tip. Sources say that a piercing in that area can heighten sexual stimulation and I don’t know but truthfully, that area on the ladies is a beautiful mystery to me and always will be. But all I can picture is a horrible sexual accident resulting in an unwitting vasectomy for her partner and an emergency room visit and hurt feelings and one of those medical situations you only see on “Grey’s Anatomy”.
