CYNDI LAUPER, "NUKE" SUPPORTER

Cyndi Lauper will be appearing on the July 3rd episode of 'As The World Turns' in a "League Of Themselves" performance. She'll be singing a couple of her songs and will also encourage young lovers Luke and Noah in their relationship.

As Cyndi told Entertainment Weekly, "I think they're young, these guys, and they're sweet. They're taking their time and struggling with the heart issues, which is even more endearing than just being like the straight couples, half-naked and having sex all over the place. The best way to people is through the heart, and that's why I think it's kind of interesting the way they've done it. It's about love.''

A lot of the show's "shipper" fans who are interested in the love of Luke and Noah - Do they call themselves "Nukers", I wonder? - have been upset that the show seemed to be dragging its heels when it came to their relationship. It took almost six months I think between the broadcasts of their first and second kiss. So hopefully, this push by Cyndi Lauper might give them the impetus to take their relationship to the next level, which the fans are waiting for.
