Serial killer Joel Rifkin met and kissed his idol, English singer Kim Wilde, according to a report in the American press. He met Kim during a visit to America when she was number 1 there with the song "You Keep Me Hanging On". Joel, who killed twenty prostitutes in his garage in New York, was a big admirer of the singer. The walls of his living room were plastered with dozens of posters of Kim. Plus a photograph he made of the superstar himself. Half of his victims were blonde women who looked like Kim. When he was arrested his next chosen victim would have been a Kim Wilde lookalike. According to a police spokesman Joel was playing tapes of Kim when he was arrested during a bust by the police.
