Who wouldn't be hot, after nibbling on a giant fusion reactor? Chewing on solar plasma would probably make me sweat like a bowl of tom yum goong does. (That stuff's awesome.) 

Funny, I just saw the topic mentioned on TV today here in Japan, when I caught a couple minutes of some news/variety show. A reporter was asking foreigners whether they knew anything about Mrs Hatoyama, to which a couple replied with her crazy UFO stories. The report went on to look at coverage of Mrs Hatoyama in overseas news, all of it focused on her kookiness. The talking heads on the show indicated mild surprise at the attention given to her Venusian flight and previous lives, yet I suspect that their reactions were scripted; who could expect foreign news to focus on something other than a prominent figure's claims of interplanetary space flight with aliens? Sure, her background in the famed Takarazuka theater would normally be worth an interesting comment or two, but it's nothing compared to space trips and sun-eating!
