Is Rosie O'Donnell taking over for Oprah?


Rumor has it Rosie O'Donnell is making her return to TV in 2011 when Oprah splits, and her timing could be perfect.

As the folks at Queerty point out, Oprah has seemingly paved the path to crown another lesbian as the new queen of daytime talk.  However, Ellen Degeneres could face some stiff competition from Rosie.

Since her departure from "The View," the rumor mill has been buzzing that Rosie has something in the works.  It seems like now she has found her fit.  Everyone is expecting a very laid back format similar to her radio show on SiriusXM.

Odyssey Magazine New York gets leathery for the Black Party

odyssey_leather_issue.jpg

Here is a look at the latest edition of Odyssey Magazine in New York.  It's the leather issue in honor of the 2010 Black Party.

The Black Party lands in New York this Saturday night.  You can get more details about this issue of Odyssey Magazine at thegayleather.com.  It is also available on stands now!



Did Sandra Bullock and Jesse James really split up?

Even though neither has confirmed the split, it looks it Sandra Bullock and Jesse James have hit a rough patch.

InTouch magazine is reporting that James has been having an affair with at tattooed stripper named Michelle McGee.

Bullock married James about five years ago and has repetitively said this is the first man she has really ever trusted.

James released a statement saying most of the allegations are “untrue and unfounded” it was “because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them”.

The magazine quoted him as saying, “I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me”.

Jesse is a frequent Twitter user, but on Wednesday he deleted his account.  He was spotted taking his kids to school on Thursday morning still wearing a wedding ring.  Sandra pulled out of the London promotions for her film, The Blind Side.

University of Hawaii student might expelled over XTube videos


This hottie is Tim, and he's a student at the University of Hawaii.  The gay speedo-loving blond bomb shell has evidently been recording voyeuristic videos in various classrooms on the Manoa campus.  In some of them, he even masturbates. 

Evidently, Tim and his friend head back to the classrooms after hours with a video camera.  After Tim frolicks around wearing at most, a Speedo, the guys post the videos to XTube under the name "speedostudent1".

He explains his logic behind it by saying: "after I came out earlier this year [2009], I discovered I love showing off in front of a camera. Taking naked or nearly naked pictures is both arousing and artistic for me. I enjoy doing it and I enjoy the thought that other guys might be getting off on it too."

"I have a big fetish for speedos. I always tan and swim in them and wear them as underwear most of the time. Most of what I put up here will hopefully have to do with speedos, but I'll make sure there are plenty of nude pics too."

Now, administrators at University of Hawaii-Manoa are trying to figure out what to do with their new star.  While they're talking expulsion, I think they should make Tim and his Speedo their mascot!

Our friends over at Queerty have tons of pictures of Tim in his speedos and less.  If you want the full show, then you'll have to head to XTube.  [I'm warning you... this link is NSFW!]

Lady Gaga announced the dates of her "Monster Ball Tour" on Monday.  Gaga will be hitting up 10 different cities including stops in the United States and Canada like New York, Washington, Montreal and Toronto.

This North American tour is evidently an extension of Lady Gaga's highly successful European tour.  

Everyone is currently buzzing about Gaga's "Telephone" video featuring Beyonce.  You can watch it here.

Real Housewives of New York City throw dueling labor day parties [video]

THURSDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

After "The Real Housewives of Orange County" are done reuniting, we head to the big apple to visit with the always dramatic "Real Housewives of New York City".  This week we're talking dueling labor day parties, Bethenny's date night and Playgirl.

Ramona reprimands Mario for the infamous comment he made about LuAnn, which makes him want to bury the hatchet.  But things come to a head when both Ramona and LuAnn decide to throw Labor Day weekend parties, and more jaw-dropping things are said about LuAnn.  Meanwhile, Bethenny and Jason are faced with the next important step in their relationship, while Kelly arrives at LuAnn’s with a sexy secret to share!

The New York City housewives really bring the drama, especially this season, it seems.

"The Real Housewives of New York City" airs at 10/9c immediately following "The Real Housewives of Orange County" reunion which starts at 8/9c.



"Real Housewives of Orange County" return for second part of reunion [video]

THURSDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" are back on Bravo Thursday night with the second part of their reunion special.  Evidently, there was too much to cover in just one sit down.

Here's what we have to look forward to tonight:

Part 2 of the reunion has tensions boiling over as Jeana joins the ladies to hash out some unresolved issues and for the first time ever, the “house-husbands” are all in the house to respond to this season’s most controversial moments.  What happens when Gretchen forces Slade and Vicki to confront each other?  Will it become a blow out?  And will either of them try to get Gretchen in the middle of things?

"The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion" airs tonight at 9/8c on Bravo.



'One Life to Live' is getting rid of their gays

The gays are evidently getting the boot from "One Life To Live" after the characters seemed to have put them back on the map among younger demographics.

Last fall, Kyle and Fish became the first two gay characters to make-out on daytime soaps.  Now, it look like they're getting written out.  It is evidently because Scott Evans and Brett Claywell's characters aren't delivering the rating punch that they once did.

Do you think we'll get more gays or is this the end to homo soaps?  No word yet on how or when Kyle and Fish will go.   Regardless, thanks to "One Life to Live" for giving the gays a chance anyway.



Conan O'Brien is going on tour. Here are the cities, dates:


Conan O'Brien may not be able to pop back up on TV until the fall, but that isn't stopping the funny man from performing.  On Thursday, Conan announced he's going on tour!

O'Brien made the announcement on his Twitter page:

"Hey Internet: I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It's half-assed."

The TeamCoco website was overloaded for a bit.  If you're having problems, you can also get tickets on Ticketmaster.

We've got the full list of cities and tour dates after the break.

The Advocate finally outs Sean Hayes

sean_hayes_comes_out.jpg

The Advocate has finally gotten the story they've always, something we've all pretty much known, Sean Hayes is gay.  I know, I know. You're shocked.

Hayes, who is best known for his role as Jack on "Will and Grace", decided to sit down with the gay magazine and give them their piece.

After years of giving ambiguous answers when asked about his own sexuality, Hayes recently told the Advocate: "I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never."

Ari Karpel, who conducted the interview, joked that the openly gay character we all feel in love with such one liners as:

Hayes replied, "You haven’t seen me naked... yet," when Karpel told him he didn't look fat.  And after both men ordered the same dish, the actor joked, "It must be a gay thing: the pasta with chicken. It’s all the craze!"

Since we've never had the opportunity to do so, let's welcome Sean Hayes out of the closet.  We'll drop his gay handbook in the mail.



Is Lindsay Lohan really suing the E-trade talking babies?

Lindsay Lohan is going after the E-trade babies, because she thinks as popular as a one-name mogul like Oprah or Cher.

Lohan's attorney has filed a $100 million lawsuit against E-trade claiming a television ad for the Wall Street firm that aired during the Super Bowl and Olympics was modeled after her.

In the commercial, the babies refer to "milkaholic Lindsay".  Even though they didn't mention Lohan, our favorite on-again-off-again lesbian thinks they're talking about her since her drug abuse struggles.

Her attorney says that because she's so famous (like Oprah or Madonna) that name "Lindsay" is automatically directed to her regardless of whether they mention Lohan or not.



Jane Pauley is back on the Today show

You younger gays better get ready, because if you can drag yourself out of the bed early enough... Jane Pauley is back.

Who is Jane Pauley? She's the Meredith Vieria of yester-year.  When I was a kid, Pauly co-hosted "Today" with Bryant Gumble.  I know it all seems so foreign, right?

Those of you who are already grown adults probably remember her.  Jane is fabulous, and on Tuesday she returned to the Today show for a series called Your Life Calling with Jane Pauley.  It will focus on people over 50 who have reinvented the way they work and/or live to pursue their life's calling.

Don't you love it

Brooke Burke announced as new co-host of "Dancing with the Stars"

 

 

Brooke Burke will be joining the cast of "Dancing with the Stars", but not as a competitor.  She did that on Season Two and won the whole darn thang! 

Burke will actually co-hosting "Dancing with the Stars" with Tom Bergeron when season 7 debuts March 22nd.

In addition to her "dancing" fame, Burke's credits include hosting E!’s “Wild On!” series, “Rock Star: INXS” and TV Land’s “She’s Got the Look.”

She evidently beat out reality star Melissa Rycroft ("The Bachelor", DWTS season six) and Vanessa Minillo for the gig.  Brooke will replace Samantha Harris who



Here are the winners of the 2010 Academy Awards:

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...


The ratings reflect that most of us were home watching the Academy Awards on Sunday despite the fact Cablevision subscribers in the greater New York area no longer have an ABC on their dial.

Monique, Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges all took home Oscars as did Christopher Waltz, Avatar and many other talented contributors to motion pictures.

Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") became the first female to ever win the Best Director award.  It's 2010 people!   It's about time!

ABC was pulled off the air for those in the New York Area who subscribe to Cablevision since the company continues to deny to

DJ Tracy Young denies dating Kim Zolciak (kinda), offers free dowload of "Tardy for the Party"

FOLLOW UP REPORT


DJ Tracy Young is kinda denying that she is in lesbian love affair with Kim Zolciak of "Real Housewives" fame.

In a statement released through her publicist, Young called the claims "homophobia."

"These allegations of a secret affair aren’t new to me.  It seems whenever I work with a high-profile female artist, someone is always trying to link us together romantically.  It’s unfortunate because it demonstrates the rampant homophobia that still exists in our country.  If I were a male DJ, no one would give us a second glance.  The facts are Kim and I worked together on the dance remix of her song, Tardy for the Party, released through my label, Ferosh Records.  We spent a lot of time in the studio and in the process, became close friends due to our shared interest in music."   

Notice how at no point did Tracy deny a relationship with Kim.  You know I'm a HUGE "Tardy for the Party" fan, and I actually think very highly of DJ Tracy Young.  I just feel like this is somewhat of a dodgy statement (for a lack of better words).

Zolciak has been denying the rumor too (kinda.)  Here's what she told People Magazine:

"All I'm going to say is that she is a great friend of mine, I adore her, and she's so talented."

Something seems to be missing if you ask me.

If you want to get a FREE copy of Young's remix of "Tardy for the Party" by Zolciak, grab in on Saturday (3/6) only at Amazon.com!

Joel McHale strips down on 'Community'. We're impressed!

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

joel_mchale_hot_community.jpg

In case you missed it (or haven't watched it yet), Joel McHale stripped down on Thursday night's episode of "Community," and all I can say is: wow!

Who knew that the "The Soup" funny man was hot as hell?!  McHale got naked in an intense game of pool with his instructor who simply wanted Joel's character to shoot in his shorts.  You'll have to watch the whole episode to see what I mean.

This episode of "Community" also featured a man-on-man kiss after McHale stripped down.  That wasn't so hot.  If you're into bears and hot blonds, then you might enjoy it.  I'm sure you'll agree that it would be nice if Joel showed off that bod a little more.  Maybe Naked Soup? We can always hope!

"Community" airs Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC, and "The Soup" airs Friday nights at 10/9c on E! 

Check back for our Afternoon Delight on Friday afternoon for more pictures of Joel McHale in his underwear or less!

The drama culminates when the fifth season ends with a bombshell: It's the final party of the summer and as Tamra and Simon prepare, the tension between them reaches the breaking point.  Is this the end of the road for the Barneys? (We know now that it was!) Meanwhile, Lynne tries to control her teenage daughters’ wild behavior at the party as the two girls sneak drinks behind their parents’ backs. And Gretchen and Slade show up at the party wearing coordinating white outfits. The question everyone wants answered is: are they getting married?

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season finale is the lead-in to "The Real Housewives of New York" premiere.



"The Real Housewives of New York City" are back on Bravo Thursday night!

THURSDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

"The Real Housewives of New York City" are back on Bravo Thursday night.  We'll start the season with the same cast of ladies, but you'll find that friendships and alliances have shifted significantly.

Here's what is going on during episode one as we rejoin the first ladies of the big apple in the luxurious lifestyles:

A fun day on Ramona’s friend’s yacht with the ladies turns sour, and leaves Ramona in tears.  Jill shares that she is angry with Bethenny and that the two haven't spoken in months.  Meanwhile, after having spent the summer falling in love, Bethenny has the opportunity of a lifetime, posing nude in a photo shoot for PETA.  But when her and LuAnn meet for an afternoon cocktail to catch up, LuAnn comes with an agenda that leaves Bethenny blindsided.

The new season of "The Real Housewives of New York City" airs Thursday night at 11/10c on Bravo.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

Wednesday night on television, it's the reality hair competition "Shear Genius" on Bravo.  This week the contestants are helping some wives transforms into pin-ups for the military husbands.

Here's what we have to look forward to on this episode of "Shear Genius".

For the contestant’s short cut challenge, they must style a bunch of unruly models’ hair without getting it wet!  Will they be able to tame such wild tresses?  And Hollywood stylist and author Robert Vetica joins Camilla as guest judge to assess the stylist's skills for the elimination round where they must transform military wives into pinup girls for a 40's style video to send to their husbands overseas.

Is there really a FAMU orgy sextape?

Rumor on the web is that some students at the Florida A&M University (FAMU) taped a big sexy orgy and posted the video on the internet.  The big question is whether or not this really happened or if it is just a virus-laden link to faux-videos making its rounds destroying computers.

The original video was evidently posted on DareDorm.com, a paysite that carries diy (do-it-yourself) porn.  Now, however, most of the sites that claim to carry the FAMU sex orgy video link to malware or viruses.

Officials from FAMU have not commented on the tape, nor have they confirmed if any current students are captured on the footage.

[Editor's note: We do not recommend downloading any of the videos that claim to be the FAMU orgy sextape, because there have been widespread reports of viruses and malware connected to those links.]



Watch Sarah Palin doing stand-up on Jay Leno [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Jay Leno is pulling out all the stops to help re-establish him as the host of "The Tonight Show".  On Tuesday's show, Leno welcome Sarah Palin who also took a stab at stand-up.

What is this lady thinking?  You can watch video of Palin's stand-up comedy debut on Leno right here:

I'm not sure if Palin is trying to look more personable or what, but I don't think one folksy person could try to be more likeable.

Leno's competitor, David Letterman, had a feud with Palin last year.

Palin also did an interview with Leno on Tuesday night. You can watch it after the break.

Patti brings back Jimmy D on "The Millionaire Matchmaker" [video]

TUESDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

"The Millionaire Matchmaker" is back on Bravo tonight, and Patti Stanger is trying to help two rich men find love.

Here's what we have to look forward to:

Patti takes on former-client “Jimmy D” to see if she can find him love a second time around.  But Patti is nervous that the cocky, over-confident bachelor hasn’t changed his ways –including his infamous referral to himself in the third person!  Patti’s other client this week, Matt, proves to be a handful as well when he expresses his laundry-list of the perfect woman.  But when Patti presses him on his expectation for religious values and sex, Matt gets defensive; will Patti be able to deliver to his expectations? 

"The Millionaire Matchmaker" airs Tuesday nights at 10/9c on Bravo.



Jay Leno makes his return to 'The Tonight Show'

Jay Leno is back on "The Tonight Show" for what seems to be more of the same.  Despite the Wizard of Oz-like opening starring Betty White, it was almost like Leno never left.

While I thought his return to "The Tonight Show" would be a little more Conan-friendly, it was more like Conan-who?  Leno wasn't afraid to murmur that there's "no place like home", and he even went desk shopping as one of his skits.

"I'm a little bit nervous," Leno joked. "Not because it's my first night back. Because I know Dave (late-night rival David Letterman) and Oprah (Winfrey) are watching!" 

Leno, of course, was referring to his appearance in David Letterman's Superbowl commercial.

"The Late Show" (once again with Jay Leno) airs week nights at 11:35 EST.

On Friday night, the Soup made a mockery of a news piece that ran on KTLA; and now everyone is talking about this video of the 84 year old pole vaulter.

Looking back, the reporter says maybe it wasn't the best idea to spotlight the elderly man who attempts to conquer pole vaulting; but she assures us that he eventually made it over the bar.

No word on what the 84 year old pole vaulter thinks of his new found fame.  Who knew that you could become a web superstar by just trying to jump over a pole.



America celebrates reading on Dr. Seuss' birthday [video]

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!  Theodor Seuss Geisel would have been 106 years old this week, if he were still living.

Dr. Seuss has been a staple in children's books for mostly all of our lives, and on Tuesday the nation will celebrate reading as we say happy birthday to the renowned children's author.

Seuss published over 60 childrens' books including "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham".

Is Kim Zolciak admitting her relationship with DJ Tracy Young?

WE TOLD YOU SO...


Everyone is talking about a story we first broke back in December. Kim Zolciak is evidently now ready to take her lesbian love affair with DJ Tracy Young into the limelight.

Us Magazine is reporting that Zolciak showed up with Young at the Blacks' Annual Gala in Miami Beach on Saturday.  The magazine says they have been dating about three months.  

Back in December, when Kim was performing at Splash, she was spotted with DJ Tracy Young in the VIP room.  On stage, Zolciak joked that she might be dating another woman.

However, on a recent episode of "What What Happens", Andy Cohen asked Kim if she was dating women to which she said she was not.

According to the folks at Us, Tracy left her long-time girlfriend to be with Kim.



Over 5,000 strip down for naked photos shoot at Sydney's Opera House [video]

SHOT OF THE DAY

Our shot of the day comes from Sydney, Australia where more than 5,000 people stripped down to take a naked photo Morning morning.

The crowd doubled organizers expectations as they gathered in the nude outside Sydney's Opera House on a chilly morning.  American artist Spencer Tunick photographed them with hands raised, lying down and embracing.

"Gay men and women lay naked next to their straight neighbours and this delivered a very strong message to the world that Australians embrace a free and equal society," Tunick said.

The release of the photo is scheduled to coincide with Saturday's Gay Mardi Gras celebrations.

Here's the video of the octomom on "The View":

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

The octomom, Nadya Suleman, was on the View earlier this week.  Here's the video, in case you missed it:

Suleman, who seems more than okay with her octomom fame, was pretty brave to appear on "The View".  She hasn't exactly always received positive criticism from the group after she gave birth to octuplets using in vitro fertilization and later accepting public assistance.

In the beginning of the video, Joy Behar asks Suleman if she's on something.  She says its just genetic energy.  You might need a little speed to take care of that many children!

India crows first transgendered beauty queen [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

In case you missed it, India crowned India's Bobby from Manipur as the "Super Queen" over the weekend in the nation's first transgendered beauty pageant.

Bobby nabbed a prize worth about $17,000 and beat out 17 other contestants.

She said, "Since my childhood I used to think of participating in beauty pageants meant for us. When I came to know about this contest, I participated. I had done no preparation for this; what all I knew, I just focused on that throughout the whole contest. I have not gone through any specific training for this."

Congrats to Bobby and India!

Whitney Houston pisses off some angry Australians

SHOT OF THE DAY

Whitney Houston fans in Brisbane, Australia are demanding refunds after feeling the shaft at a concert.

Evidently Whitney wasn't on her game that night.  Fans say you could barely understand the words she was singing and couldn't hit any of the high notes.  Houston also evidently walked away from the concert several times, once for 20 minutes.  At one point, her brother evidently took over for her.

Promoters of the Whitney Houston show say they aren't ready to hand out any refunds at this time.

You can watch the video of the Australian concert above.

Lindsay Lohan wants Samantha Ronson back (or a boy)

Lindsay Lohan is finally speaking out about her relationship with Samantha Ronson calling the lesbian lover affair "really scary" but said she hopes they get back together.

"It was a big deal for me because I've never had a relationship as public as that, especially being with a girl for the first time. That was really scary for me. But I didn't care because I love her," Lohan said.

Lohan, who doesn't really refer to herself as a lesbian, told The Sun that she'd probably go back to men if it doesn't work out with Ronson.

"If I wasn't with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She's the only woman I've been attracted to.

"We love each other. We might reconcile the relationship, maybe. I don't know," Lohan said.

Lindsay and Samantha broke up in April after a few months of public fighting and turmoil.

IHOP gives out freebies on National Pancake Day

DID YOU KNOW?

It's National Pancake Day!  Yesterday was National Margarita Day, so this is just shaping up to be my week!

The folks over at IHOP are celebrating the day with a free short stack!  They've even teamed with the Children's Miracle Network and are asking for donations from patrons instead of paying for their pancakes.

Who could ask for anything more? I'm about to put away a huge plate of pancakes myself.  Since I'm in Manhattan, they aren't from IHOP.  Who really knows the difference anyway.  Other than the fact that mine aren't free?

"Kell on Earth" heads across the pond for Fashion Week

MONDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

Monday night's "Kell on Earth" packs a punch.  The crew heads to London for Fashion Week, and evidently two a few people get canned.

Here's what we have to look forward to:

Scandal hits the People’s Rev office when “Page Six” runs a gossip item involving one of their events. When Kelly and the team find out that one of the assistants’ friends was involved in the scandal, will that assistant’s days be numbered?  And Kelly must crack the whip on a bunch of British seat crashers at an upcoming fashion show when they try to steal some of Kelly’s high-profile friends’ front row seats, will she cause a scene at the show? 

"Kell on Earth" airs Monday nights at 10/9c on Bravo.

Afternoon Delight: Marco da Silva

AFTERNOON DELIGHT

ad_marco_dasilva3.jpg

Today's afternoon delight is about as tasty as they come!  According to his website, he's a choreographer and actor.  However, Marco Da Silva is probably most known as one of Kylie Minogue's back-up dancers.

We've got more pictures of Da Silva after the break, but some of them may be a little NSFW (depending on where you work, I guess!)

Move over Valentine's Day, National Margarita Day is here!

DID YOU KNOW?

national_margarita_day.jpg

It's National Margarita Day!  Let's celebrate!

Really, it's true.  As legit as Valentine's Day, but not quite a bank holiday; the Margarita gets its very own day!

Legend has it that the margarita was actually invented by a socialite named Margarita.  She was evidently vacationing in Acapulco when she decided to whip together a cocktail on a steamy summer afternoon.  Little did Margarita know that one day her drink would be the most popular cocktail in the United States.



Is Justin Bieber really dead? Again?

RUMOR CONTROL


It looks like another celebrity has fallen victim to the fake internet deaths that have become almost like a weekly occurrence.

Coming off nearly every weekend for at least the past few months, there seem to be rumors circulating on the web that a celebrity has died.  This week's not-so-dead star is Justin Beiber.

Beiber is a teenie singer who seemingly rose to fame and popped out of no where over night.  As quickly as the internet can build you up, it can also kill you as an amazing avenue to report your faux death.

So just to clear things up, Justin Bieber is not dead.  He confirmed his livelihood via Twitter this weekend, and evidently this isn't Justin's first time through the deadly rumor mill.

Beiber tweeted, "and another rumor that I died?? The craziest stuff happens when I get on ong plane rides. lol. Im ALIVE and well and very blessed. thanks."

There you have it, because dead people can not use Twitter.

Tiger Woods: "I'm sorry," "in rehab", "foolish" says wife didn't abuse him


Tiger Wood interrupted "The View" today to tell us that he is sorry that he got so horny and had sex with so many women despite the fact that he had a beautiful wife at home.

With a tear in his eye and repeating the words "sorry" directed at his wife, Elin, and his family, friends and fans who were hurt by his actions.

"I was wrong, I was foolish," Tiger said as he stood before an SNL-like skit.

Tiger also took a moment to address rumors that Elin attacked him.  Woods vowed that there has never been a case of domestic violence in his marriage.  He also begged the paparazzi to "please leave my wife and kids alone."

Saying he recognized that he was wrong and brought this on himself, Woods reiterated that this is nor reason to harass his family. 

"I need help," Tiger admitted as he talked about continuing his rehabilitation for sex addition. "That's how people really do change," he said.  "I have a long way to go."

Tomorrow, Woods says he'll go back to rehab and continue to practice Buddism. He says he plan to return to golf one day, but he doesn't know when that will be.

He ended by hugging his mother.  Elin was not in the room.



Elton John says Jesus was a "super-intelligent gay man"

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Elton John always says whatever he has on his mind, and this quote of the day is living proof of that as Elton calls Jesus a "super-intelligent gay man".

In an interview with Parade magazine, Elton said:

"I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead."

In the same article, Elton also talks about falling in love with David Furnish saying he was attracted to him immediately.

Alexis challenges Vicki on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" [video]

THURSDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

On this week's episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County", things come to head between the newest housewife and the veteran as Alexis takes on Vicki!

Here's what we have to look forward to:

Ladies lunch in San Fran ends with a bang when Alexis confronts Vicki on her judgmental and hypocritical attitude.  Will the rest of the ‘wives take sides when Vicki is driven to tears?  And the Lynne’s world seems to be crumbling around her when she must deal with the aftermath of her eviction notice.  When she and her daughter sit down with her husband Frank to spell out their financial troubles, will the Curtain family be prepared to deal with truth of the matter?  And will Lynne’s marriage fall victim?

You can also, of course, get a sneak peak in the video above. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs Thursdays at 10/9c on Bravo.

Wendy Williams welcomes Whoopi to show, cries and apologizes [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

TV personality Wendy Williams broke down in tears on her show Monday morning as Whoopi Goldberg joined her as a guest.  It looks like somone had a piece of humble pie!

Whoopi's appearance on the "Wendy Williams Show" was a real classy move due to the rigid past bewteen the two daytime chat hosts.

Before moving to television, Wendy was a shock jock on the radio who was hired and fired from more stations that Don Imus and Howard Stern combined.  Evidently along the way, Goldberg was one of Williams' regular targets.

Wendy took some pretty low blows at Whoopi and her family over the years by saying that "The View" moderator is ugly, looks like a monkey and uses drug. Williams also said that Goldberg's daughter, Alex, had a cocaine addiction. 

During her appearance, as you can see in the video above, Whoopi even tells Wendy that her daughter is upset with her for coming on the show.  As Wendy cried like a baby, she publicly and personally apologize to Whoopi with two words, "I'm sorry" to which Goldberg replied with: "It's alright baby." Wendy did, however, try to justify her actions by saying she had to do a lot of things that she "wasn't proud of" to get her own daytime talk show. Whoopi reminded her that she didn't have to do everything she did!

I don't always agree with everything she says, but you've got to admire Whoopi.  She's a real class act.

Here's what we've got to look forward to on Monday night's episode.

Ut oh!  It looks like Kelly might give someone the can!

You can watch "Kell on Earth" Monday night at 9/8c on Bravo.

I heard... 'The View' is auditioning hosts. Is Barbara Walters leaving?

I HEARD...


I HEARD... ABC is secretly auditioning hosts for "The View."  On Monday, Barbara Walters hyped a big announcement, but instead of saying that someone was leaving or coming from "The View" Walters said she will no longer host a "Barbara Walters Special" prior to the Oscars.

My inside source at ABC says it is evident that auditions are taking definitely taking place and names like Megan McCain, Kate Gosselin and Paula Dean have all been tossed around as possible candidates.  The question is... what position is open?

I also HEARD... that inside the halls of ABC the buzz is that Walters might be making an exit from the show herself.

Did Taylor Lautner really drop $80K on his boyfriend for Valentine's Day?

RUMOR CONTROL

This is one rumor that we can't seem to get under control! 

It's pretty clear that Taylor Lautner is a bit femme, and it wouldn't surprise me if he is gay... but surely he isn't dating this guy?!

That's Sean Fox.  He and Lautner are rumored to have been dating since November, but many find it hard to believe.  Taylor's female friends don't want to believe that their Twilight star might be a homo, and the gays find it hard to believe that this would be his pick of the boys.  Let's face it, Taylor can have any gay he wants with abs and a smile like that!

The website, Twighlight Blips is reporting that Taylor went all out for Sean on Valentines day with "a dozen roses, oversized teddy bear, Louis Vuitton Luggage set and a Cartier watch!"  They say Lautner dropped an estimated $80,000 on Fox for V-day.  Talk about a good catch for Mr. Fox!

In case you've been living life deep inside the closet, Johnston recently posed for Playgirl with a campaign led by gay nightlife personality Daniel Nardicio.  When the photos were released, one thing was missing... Levi's privates.

TMZ is reporting that this pay-per-view video is your chance to see the full Johnston since Levi's dick evidently makes an appearance in the video.

Man gets completely naked for photo at Vatican

SHOT OF THE DAY

naked_vatican_luzio.jpg

Last week, artist Luizo Vega posed completely naked for this photo in front of the Vatican.  This is the latest in his series called "Sacré" something Luizo says is performance art.

So how hard is it to get naked in front of the Vatican?

"Due to the high level of security of the Vatican it was really difficult to carry out with the performance," Vega said. "The idea of having been able to achieve it fulfills me and I think it is a real contribution to freedom of expression."

Vega has also "performed" at other sacred places in Barcelona, Paris and many other stops along the way.

He added: "In the twenty-first century the human body can no longer be considered something forbidden. I propose a return to our true nature. “

Vega says he has stops for the performance also planned in Egypt, India. Mexico and Brazil.  You can check out more of his work here.

John Mayer's Playboy interview has everyone talking


Everyone is talking about John Mayer's recent Playboy interview in which he comes across as a little douche. 

When asked about dating, Mayer said:

"I hate being the heartbreaker. Hate it. If I date somebody and it doesn’t work out, it’s another nightmare for me. I don’t like the way the odds are stacked. If I date nine more girls before I get married—which I think would be completely appropriate—that would be nine more spats of character assassination. I don’t equate sex with release, I equate it with tension. It’s given me a lot of pause. Somewhere in my brain it has probably really fucked me up."

I credit him for being honest and witty.  If you want to read more of John Mayer's interview, then head over to the Playboy website.

I'll admit I have a little crush on Mayer, so maybe I'm in one of those "who can't do anything wrong" situations.



Regis loses it on Letterman while Dave hits on Joy [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Regis and Joy Philbin stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday night, and at first I was wondering why Joy was there.  It's clear, however, that Regis can't be left alone anymore.

It was clear that Regis had the intention of giving Letterman hell over his Super Bowl commercial with Oprah Winfrey and Jay Leno.  He failed miserably at his own accord.  Every time Regis tried to deliver the punch line, he referred to Jay as Dave.  Joy pointed out that Regis is losing it.

Later, Letterman basically hits on Joy and invites himself over for dinner.  It's hilarious.  You have to watch the video above.

Rupauls Drag Race Episode Two Recap

ENTERTAINMENT

This week on Rupaul's Drag Race the girls stepped it up. After all this isn't Miss America this is a drag competition. The claws came out once again as the girls had to fight to claim their positions. This seasons theme amongst the contestants is definitely CUNTY CUNTY CUNTY. Guest judges this week included Kim Coles and Dita Von Teese.

The first challenge given to the eleven remaining queens was every little gay boys dream come true. They had to dress up a Rupaul doll up and give her a complete makeover. Miss Rupaul paired the girls up into teams of two leaving Mystique to work alone. True to form Miss Tyra Sanchez grabbed the entire dish full of fabrics and supplies. The other girls had to fend for themselves. The winners of the challenge ultimately being Sahara Davenport and Pandora Boxx.

Later on Ru introduced the main challenge. Inspired by her box office hit Starrbooty. This of course got my panties all wet because it features one of my favorite queens of all time Lahoma Van Zandt! (See Lahoma's Foot Commercial) The queens had to pair up into two teams to perform a burlesque routine and earn the most coins. One by one team captains Sarah Davenport and Pandora Boxx picked their teams. Just like in high school you never want to be picked last, and that's just want happened to Nicole. 

Not only did the girls have to perform in front of Dita Von Teese and an audience of boys; but they also had to go outside and sell Cherry Pie gift certificates. Trya the least cooperative during rehearsal stepped up her game and showed that she truly had a personality. Mystique Madison seemed to have been practicing that split from last week because she landed it dead on!

Before judging a warm moment occurred between Jujubee and Pandora. While getting ready for panel they discussed their fathers struggles with cancer. I found this to be very heartwarming and needed. It's not always about being cut throat; we have to remember that under all that makeup are loving human beings.

I think its hilarious how narcissistic Rupaul is when coming out to judge the girls. He comes down the runway and struts his stuff. (Honey Tyra wouldn't do that, but that's what makes this show fabulous!) They revealed that Sarah Davenport was once again the winner of the challenge (representing NYC). It was no surprise when they announced that Nicole had the lost the challenge, earning the least coins.

My mouth did drop when Nicole was pitted against one of my favorite contestants Raven. Lipsyncing to My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue. Raven brought the house down and sent Nicole packing.

Lynne Curtin gets served eviction papers on "The Real Housewives" [video]

THURSDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

It's Thursday and that means its "Real Housewives" night on Bravo!  This week it is Lynne Curtin's week to be down on her luck.

Can Lynne handle the truth?

It’s a surprise that rocks the Curtin family to the core when Lynne’s daughters are handed an eviction notice while their parents are out.  When Lynne finds out and confronts her husband, the two must face the harsh truth – looks like she’s been kept in the dark about their finances for a while.  Will they be able to survive this hurdle?  

Vicki gets her moment in the spotlight when she goes head to head with Alexis.  Here's what we have to look foward to:

And when the ladies get away to San Fran, tensions between Alexis and Vicki mount when Vicki takes business calls at the lunch table after criticizing Alexis for taking too many calls from her husband.  Oh snap.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs Thursday night at 10/9c on Bravo.

Alec Baldwin hospitalized in New York

Alec Baldwin was briefly hospitalized this morning in New York.

WNBC is reporting that Baldwin's 14-year-old daughter Ireland called 9-1-1 when she found her father "unresponsive."

When paramedics arrived at his Manhattan apartment, the 30 Rock actor evidently agreed to go to the hospital to get checked out.  Baldwin was released after being at the Lennox Hill hospital for about an hour.

It is uncertain what Baldwin was treated for at the hospital.

GIVEAWAYS

Earlier today, we asked for your favorite snow pics of past or present. Here's our first pick of the day. It's actually a little sexy to see hot guys playing around, especially in the snow.

Channing Tatum relives stripper past on Ellen Degeneres Show

If you're enjoying a snow day at home, you can't miss Ellen Degeneres and her sexy guest Channing Tatum.  You know I think the most unnatural thoughts about that guy.

I've heard his new movie "Dear John" is nothing to write home about, but I'm probably going to have to see it to stare at Channing's gorgeous body for 90 minutes.

Too bad we missed his stripper days.  On Wednesday's episode of Ellen, she asks Tatum about his stripper past.

"What kind of dancer were you, Channing?" DeGeneres asked.

"I was a stripper," replied Tatum. 

The audience (and I), of course, went wild! 

"Look," he said, "I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed of it."

Degeneres, who of course is a lesbian, said she didn't know what male strippesrs do, so Channing relived his past a little and demonstrated for Ellen.

The Ellen Degeneres Show is syndicated, so you'll have to check your local listing.



Afternoon Delight: Scott Herman's "300 Spartan Workout" [video]

Anne Hathaway quits Catholic church for gay brother

Anne Hathaway reveals in the upcoming edition of GQ magazine that she and her family left Catholicism over the church's view on homosexuality.

Hathaway says she and the rest of her family decided to remove themselves from the religion after discovering the church's views on her gay brother.

"The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out,” she told the magazine. “Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?"

Who wouldn't want to have a family like that?!  That's an amazing coming out story!

It's time for this season's gay on "Millionaire Matchmaker" [video]

TUESDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

It's time for this year's 'gay-ionaire' (a term I coined last season) on the "Millionaire Matchmaker".  His name is Smike Wallen, and he's a handful.

Here's what we have to look forward to:

Smike Wallen is 41, handsome, rugged, smart, sensitive and, yes, gay! But…Smike can’t stay in one place long enough to actually have a relationship due to his insane travel schedule and insists on dating younger men.  See Patti working her magic at an “open call” where her staff meets a few characters (to say the least).

What gay man doesn't want to date younger men?  There's also a straight candidate this week, but who cares about him?!

"Millionaire Matchmaker" airs on Tuesday nights at 10pm on Bravo.



Joan Collins pushes new release: "Poor Little Bitch Girl" [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Jackie Collins is back on the media circuit pushing a new book, "Poor Little Bitch Girl."  Tuesday morning, she hit up Good Morning America.  

Collins new release is evidently a story of intrigue centered around murder and politics.  

Jackie has clearly been around the block.  I guess you noticed in the video above that she admits to the following: She slept with Marlon Brando as a teen, and she dared to say no to Warren Beatty.

It's funny how these old broads talk so much about their personal lives when they get older.  

"Poor Little Bitch Girl" is available in stores now.



Craig Ferguson goes white trash on Twitter

WHITE TRASH OF THE WEEK (WTOTW)


The CBS “Late Late Shows” Craig Ferguson has signed up for Twitter and is already making it splash.  It's only Tuesday, and Craig Ferguson is already our White Trash of the Week (WTOTW).

After only having been a Tweeter for less than 12 hours, @CraigyFerg started dropping F-bombs all over the place.  That's white trash (WT) if I've ever seen it.  (You know I'm totally WT myself, so take a look;)

Talk about White Trash on the move!  I'm definitely following Craig Ferguson on Twitter from now on.  White trash has got to stick together. 



Sherry Vine is back with Taylor Swift spoof [video]

She's back.  After blowing everyone away with her "Bad Romance" parody, Sherry Vine is back with her latest spoof.

This time the famed drag performer takes on Taylor Swift's "You Belong To Me" aptly titled "I Was So Off Key".

As I've said, Sherry Vine is setting herself up to become the drag version of Weird Al.  I love it!  Let's all jump on those coat tails and ride to stardom!

Here is the first look at Levi Johnston's Playgirl cover

levi_playgirl_print.jpg

Here it is!  This what the print version of Levi Johnston's Playgirl is going to look like!

We already know that Levi didn't show his Johnston, but if you want a copy of the bare ass pics to hold onto... you can grab this issue on February 22nd.

Levi actually looks better on the cover than he does in any of the photos I saw.  Of course, you know I'll grab a copy of Levi Johnston's Playgirl.  I want to read the Sarah Palin scoop... duh!



My favorite Super Bowl ad: Letterman, Oprah and Leno [video]

This advertisement for the "Late Show with David Letterman" was probably my favorite Super Bowl commercial.

In 2007, Letterman was joined by Oprah Winfrey in a time when the two had a faux-feud on the airwaves.  To see Jay Leno show up in an ad for the competition is pop culture history in the making.

There is no love lost between Letterman and Leno.  Letterman, of course, was primed to replace Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show" when Leno swooped in and took over.  I guess Letterman is probably the only person who knows how Conan O'Brien really feels.

To keep this Super Bowl ad a secret, Leno evidently disguised himself with a mustache to sneak into the Ed Sullivan Theatre where Letterman's show is taped.



Neil Patrick Harris pops up at Superbowl as CBS character Barney Stinson


Neil Patrick Harris is everywhere.  Let's call him the super gay, shall we? NPH can even infiltrate the most testosterone driven event of the year and seem cool.

Harris actually showed up at the Super Bowl in character as his "How I Met Your Mother" character, Barney Stinson.  

Super gay was holding up a sign that read, "Call Barney Stinson at 1-877-987-6401".  The photo looks a little strange, so I'm not sure exactly where CBS is going with this.  It may even pop up in an episode of the hit show.

If you do 'call Barney Stinson', you'll get this recording:

"That, Lebron, is how you shoot a free throw. Hey, Barney Stinson speaking. A recording? No, this is really me! Anyway, glad you called 'cause you sound really special. Let's get to know each other. What are your hobbies? Oh my god, I like that too! Wow, I'm really feeling a connection here. You know, I never do this but what the heck. Let's meet up at MacLaren's Bar at oh, say, 3:45 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 12, 2016. I can't wait to meet you. I love you."

Talk about taking advantage of a good promotional opportunity!  CBS capitalized on this one.  Meanwhile, I'm falling in love with Neil Patrick Harris.



French Quarter cams offer live view of New Orleans' Super Bowl celebration [video]

The live cams in the New Orleans French Quarter would have made you think it was Mardi Gras last night.  Instead, of course, football fans are celebrating the Saint's Super Bowl win on Sunday.

Thousands and thousands of people flooded Bourbon Street and there was an instant party with plenty of booze, beads and posters proclaiming their pride in their hometown team.  Cops even had to break-up the Super Bowl party the same way they put an end to Mardi Gras, with officers on horseback.

The Saints upset the Colts in Sundays big game.

If you missed all those French Quarter live cams after the SuperBowl, then you'll definitely want to tune in Tuesday, February 16th when the actual Mardi Gras celebrations are underway.  It's untelling what you might see!

Carrie Underwood rocks Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

In case you missed it, here is Carrie Underwood's performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday.  She sang the National Anthem before the game began.

Underwood is the stand-out winner of "American Idol" having taken the country music industry by storm.  Carrie has an amazing voice, and she was probably the perfect fit to sing the National Anthem.

Queen Latifah also performed as a part of the Super Bowl pre-game show.

The Saints went on to defeat the Colts in what is being called an "upset victory".



Dockers Super Bowl ad offers chance at free pants

GIVEAWAYS


One of the Super Bowl ads getting the most attention this year is the Dockers commercial that offers viewers a chance to win free pants.

Have you registered for your khakis yet?  If not, head over to dockers.com/freepants and register to win.  According to the website, you will receive an email on February 8 letting you know if you've won.

The main benefit here is the amount of marketing information that Dockers is going to get from this campaign.  They just got my name and e-mail.  I've never purchased any pants from Dockers, but you'll also guarantee we'll all be reading any junk that Dockers spams us with in hopes of some free khakis.



Doritos allows fans to create Super Bowl ads and earn big money [video]

The main things we'll be paying attention to on today's Super Bowl are clearly the commercials, some of which were created by viewers making some football fans overnight millionaires.

 

The producers of the first place ad will be paid one million dollars, the second place winner gets $600,000 and the third place ad gets $400,000.  Doritos also bought ads space to air all three spots during Sunday night's SuperBowl.

At times like this, it makes me wish I paid more attention to football advertisements!

Is Anderson Cooper bringing back a Haitian baby?

RUMOR CONTROL

anderson_cooper_adoption.jpg

The National Enquirer is reporting that Anderson Cooper is going to adopt a Haitian baby.  Last week, we told you he's purchased a new home in the West Village with his assumed boyfriend, Benjamin Maisani.

The report claims that Cooper was so touched by the rescue effort that he decided to adopt one of the orphaned babies.  

Anderson and Benjamin don't seem like a couple ready for adoption.  As you know, Cooper jumps on planes and heads off to report on various breaking news across the globe for CNN.  Maisani is the owner of the East Village gay bar, Eastern Bloc.

Cooper has since denied the claims in the article.

Here's what we can expect from the season premiere of "Shear Genius":

Watch the gay ad that got banned from the SuperBowl [video]:

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

This ManCrunch.com advertisement has evidently been banned by CBS for being a bit too controversial for the SuperBowl.

ManCrunch.com is evidently a dating site for gay men, but I guess having two men crawling all over each other or touching hands is too much for the SuperBowl.  Wait a minute... don't the players in the game actually pile up on top of each other and touch hands all the time?

While it seems to be a bit hypocritical, CBS won't run the ad.  ManCrunch.com has gotten plenty of coverage though.  I don't think they really need to pay to run the ad now anyway.



Here's a full list of Oscar noms for 2010 Academy Awards

The Oscar nominees for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday morning, and there were few surprises.  Avatar lead the pack with nine nominations.

In 2010 there are 10 films up for the Best Picture award.  It will be interesting how this will affect the academy's choice for the top Oscar nod.

There is a complete list of Oscar nominees after the break.

I Heard... One of the 'Jersey Shore' boys is getting naked for the camera (and cash, of course)

I HEARD...


I HEARD... that after revealing (on the Wendy Williams Show) that one of the cuter cast members from "Jersey Show" is about to get naked for cash!

I ALSO HEARD… that after the whole disappointing shoot with Levi Johnston and his failure to go full frontal, Playgirl won't be doing anymore partial nudity.  Show it all or don't bother!

However, I ALSO HEARD... that this "Jersey Shore" cast member doesn't seem to mind showing it all off, because while he might not be gay - he loves to show off and be admired by both sexes.  I think that makes him tri-sexual!

I guess that means if this "Jersey Shore" boy plans to do Playgirl, then he's gonna let it all hang out!  Not like all those people who spent the summer down the shore with him hasn't seen it anyway!



Rupauls Drag Race Season 2 Premiere

On your mark, get set, GO! Rupaul's Drag Race Season 2 premiered tonight on Logo. As predicted this season the show had a bigger budget and with that came production. The first celebrity guest judge was gay loving Kathy Griffin. The show seems to still have the likeable factor that made the first season such a success. Twelve beautiful girls representing the "best" of American drag.

This week the contestants had to straddle a cannon while being blown away by a wind machine. Some did great as others flipped their wig; literally. Morgan McMichaels came out on top with a beautiful photograph. Later the girls made their first garment of the season out of curtains.

Ultimately good friends Shangela Laquifa Wadley and Sahara Davenport (representing NY) had to lipsync for their life. Sahara was told "Shante, you stay" as Shangela sashayed away.

The three contestants that stood out to me were Raven, Morgan McMichaels and Sonique. Coincidentally those were the three that did the best in the challenges and are looking to be the top contenders. The Hot Tranny Mess of the Week Award goes to Mystique Summers Madison. Not only was her assemble a train wreck but her split wasn't eye pleasing either. (You gotta work harder for the big girls!)

Stay tooned every Monday night to Logo for new episodes and Tuesdays on GaySocialites.com for a full recap!

 



And the winner of the Miss'd America pageant is....

missd_america_winner2.jpg

This weekend, the GayScoialites ventured to Atlantic City for the Miss'd America pageant which turned out to be a little more like a Broadway show.

After several scenes of musical and dance performances; the pageant was finally underway with a evening gown division, talent and even a question-answer.

It was clear that Michelle Dupree was the winner just after her talent performance. 


It looked a little rigged as the judges including our good buddy (ahahahaha) Michael Musto got up multiple times during the competition and were gone for a while.  

Sorry the pictures are so blurry, you know how drag queens are moving around all over the place.

Thanks to Caesar's (Harrah;s resorts) for the accommodations!

We're going to the Miss'd America Pageant in Atlantic City

WHITE TRASH ON THE MOVE

This weekend GaySocialites.com will be on the road in Atlantic City to celebrate the return of the Miss'd America Pageant to Atlantic City.

Ok get this... it's just like the real Miss America pageant only for DRAG QUEENS!  That means I probably won't fall asleep during this one, but we also probably won't have any Carrie Prejean moments.

The pageant has been on hiatus for five years, but this weekend drag queens from coast to coast will come together to compete again!  This year's host is even reality star Carson Kressley.  He's like the head gay or something, so we're expecting a real shit show!

We're heading down Saturday morning for all of the pre-pageant activities.  You might even catch some live glimpses of what's going on as we test some new technology with capability for me to provide live streaming footage over the Android system using my Cliq.  We'll see how it goes!

Before we set foot on this trip, we must thank one of the best publicists in the biz - Heather Jansen at RF Binder for introducing us to a cooler side of Atlantic City.  I had never been, because I thought it was just a bunch of gray haired yankee bitches with more money than common sense.  I was wrong, and Heather can be thanked for that!  We honored that you've asked us to come along for the ride once again.

We must also thank the folks at Caesar's Atlantic City for providing our accommodations for the weekend.  You can always expect the best from a Harrah's property! For the first time, we're also hopping the ACES train to arrive in style.  This should be a hoot!  We'll see what happens when pack NYC's VIP gays and best in homo-media into a train car for a ride to Jersey!  I'll be your fly on the wall, don't worry!

Make sure you follow @kingralphy and @charleswinters on Twitter.  We'll be keeping you abreast of the drama!

Thanks Apple! Now we get "Guys with iPads"!!

guys_with_ipads.jpg

We've all spent some quality time on guyswithiphones.com, it looks like thanks to Apple's newest creation - there's a spin-off! 

Take a look at guyswithipads.com!  Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they just announce this product this week?  If so, how did so many hot guys already get their hands on one!

Maybe Apple knows what they're doing with this who iPad thing.  Give them to the sexy, slutty guys who will post hot pictures online complete with iPad logo.  That's one way to get the word out, especially among the gays.



Who doesn't love Patti Stranger's chutzpah? [video]

SHOT OF THE DAY

Patti Stranger, the Millionaire Matchmaker, is known for her sharp tongue and sassy attitude.  Patti calls it chutzpah.  Others might just say she's a bitch!

Our shot of the day is a montage of Stranger's casting sessions.  

"Millionaire Matchmaker" airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on Bravo.

ABC canceling 'Ugly Betty' after fourth season


I'm a bit more shocked that most people seem to be, but ABC has evidently informed the producers of Ugly Betty that this will be their last season on the air.

That's right, my favorite TV show is getting canceled! ABC also evidently cut their episode order down from 22 to 20, but that still gives Ugly Betty producers time to plan a season finale.

What happened to ABC's gay friendly kick they were on? We have several open gay story lines here!  Will Marc St. James ever become an editor? Will Justin Suarez ever come out of the closet?  We may never now.

Millionaire Matchmaker finds its so difficult because its so Hollywood! [video]

TUESDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

For some reason the kick-off of this season's "Millionaire Matchmaker" seemed to have slipped by my radar, but no worries Patti Stranger is back tonight and matching up lovers!

This week Patti takes on a successful entrepreneur who can't seem to get as passionate about his love life as he is with his career.

And Patti's second client is childhood actor Justin Shenkarow from Picket Fences.  The problem is that Justin has that kiddie actor attitude.  The question is whether Patti will be able to knock him off his Huffy long enough to walk with the commoners to find love.

"The Millionaire Matchmaker" airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on Bravo.

Another picture of Taylor Lautner with suspected gay lover Sean Fox?

taylor_lautner_fan_photo.jpg

Here we go again!  Another picture in our inbox that just happens to feature Taylor Lautner, who may or may not be gay, with Sean Fox Zastoupi, who may or may not be Taylor's boyfriend.

On the web right now, you've got a battle going between those who claim this whole Taylor/ Sean Fox relationship is made up.  And you've got those who are desperately trying to prove that Lautner is indeed gay and dating this dude. Some have even gone as far as photoshopping Sean Fox into pictures where he doesn't belong.

I recently received this picture from a Lautner fan who said they got their picture snapped with Sean and Taylor together.  What do you think? Is this a legit pic of Taylor and Sean Fox with a fan or another good photoshop job?

While the validity of this picture wouldn't prove much.  It would show that Taylor and Sean sure do hang out a lot!

Like many of the commenters have said on other stories related to this topic at GaySocialites.com, you'd think Taylor Lautner and his gorgeous teenaged body would be all over a much hotter gay than Sean Fox.  I'm just saying agreeing!



"8: The Mormon Proposition" debuts at Sundance


There sure was a rukus at the opening of "8: The Mormon Proposition" at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday.

Protesters showed up to rally against the LDS Church's involvement in overturning gay marriage in California and show their support for the film.

We are not here to be anti-LDS," rally organizer Eric Ethington said Sunday, outside the documentary's premiere at the Racquet Club venue in Park City. "We are here to share our own stories." 

During the 2008 campaign, the Mormons sunk a lot of time and money into making sure that Proposition 8 passed and that gay marriage was banned.



Live Bourbon Street cams show excited New Orleans fans


You know I don't normally give a crap about sports, especially football; but it was cool to watch the Bourbon Street live webcams online showing the celebration going on in New Orleans after they beat Minnesota on Sunday night.

This means that the New Orleans Saints will go against my former classmate, Peyton Manning, and the Colts in the Super Bowl.

Like at our Alma Mater, the University of Tennessee, and in Times Square; the streets tend to erupt in New Orleans when their sports teams do well.

Here are some of the sites that offered live streaming footage of Bourbon Street:

Here's that Wal-Mart clown commercial [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Twitter is abuzz over this Wal-Mart commercial in which a clown clearly busts up the party and scares the shit out of a bunch of kids.

I love annoying children as much as the next guy, so this commercial is right up my alley.   If you haven't seen the Wal-Mart clown commercial then check it out here:

Who knew he would jump on top of the unicorn and sceam in horror rather than joy.  This Wal-Mart Commcercial first aired Sunday night during the NFL play offs.

I love scared kids.

Which 'Big Brother' contestant is going to star in gay porn?

GAY PORN PAST FUTURE

Steven_daigle_porn.jpg

Former "Big Brother" contestant Steve Daigle is taking on a new career.

When he entered the "BB" house, Daigle was working for the gay rodeo.  Now, he's going to be riding stallions of a different type.  Steven is breaking into the gay porn industry.

He evidently landed a gig after meeting ChiChi LaRue at a "BB" wrap party.  No word yet on when Steven's gay porn will hit the shelves, but we do hear he's also landed the cover of Unzipped magazine as well.

It's amazing what doors a show like "Big Brother" can open for you, huh?

Conan wins money, non-compete battle; loses characters

The new "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" will say good-bye at the end of this week.  As you've probably heard, O'Brien struck a $45 million deal with NBC after they decided to bump Jay Leno back into his old spot.

In the deal, NBC will evidently get to keep most of the characters that Conan and his team created while working at the peacock.  O'Brien will also be allowed to return the air on another network in September.

Word on the web is that David Letterman was trying to book O'Brien as his guest on May 1st when Jay Leno returns to his old gig; but the deal covers that too.  Conan can't do any interview for a unspecified amount of time after Leno returns.

The "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" will end on Friday, January 22nd with Will Ferrell as the guest.  Ferrell was the first guest on the show when it debuted a few months ago.



Welcome to the Ginger Club: Hayden Panettiere has red hair!

hayden_panettiere_red_hair.jpg

Welcome to the ginger club, Hayden Panettire!  The "Heroes" star was snapped by the paps sporting a new red hair do this week.

I think Hayden looks amazing with red hair.  Does this finally mean we can say red is the new blonde? LOL.

Panettire was spotted traveling with her boyfriend, boxer Wladimir Klitschsko.  I'm sure he looks like her daughter anyway.  He's a monster compared to her, and she's 13 years younger than he is.

BUT, Hayden has red hair now - and I love her for it!



Lesbian kiss in "Chloe" trailer has people talking [video]

The French trailer for Atom Egoyan's movie "Chloe" is causing a little bit of controversy for a girl-on-girl kiss involving Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore.

Seyfried plays the lebian role well, evidently.  Last year she was in "Jennifer Body" where she locked lips with Megan Fox.

According to moviefone.com, this isn't your typical girl meets girl lesbo flick.  The plot of the movie is that a wife (played by Moore) attempts to prove that her husband (played by Liam Neeson) is cheating by hiring a hooker (played by Seyfried) to seduce him.  Somehow, the wife ends up hooking up with the hooker. 



Heidi Montag, pictures before and after her 10 cosmetic surgeries

 

That's the big before and after reveal of the newly reconstructed Heidi Montag in the pages of People Magazine.

Heidi dishes about her 10 cosmetic procedures inside. 

"I was made fun of when I was younger, and so I had insecurities, especially after I moved to L.A. People said I had a "Jay Leno chin"; they'd circle it on blogs and say nasty things. It bothered me. And when I watched myself on The Hills, my ears would be sticking out likle Dumbo! I just wanted to feel more confident and look in the mirror and be like, "Whoa! That's me!" I was an ugly duckling before."

Personally, I don't think she looks that different in the two pics.  But that's just me! If you want to see the 7-page interview and more photos, they're in the latest People magazine.



Sale of Eric von Kuersteriner's Fire Island Pines properties a 'done deal'

FOLLOW UP REPORT

As I told you yesterday, I heard that Eric von Kuersteriner was selling his portion of the Fire Island Pines which includes the Pavilion and the Blue Whale.

Next Magazine and Queerty independently confirmed that the sell was in the works, so we decided to dig a little deeper.  An anonymous source confirmed a report on the Nexus Blog that Seth Weissman will be purchasing von Kuersteriner's properties in Fire Island.  "It's a done deal," my source says.

Our insider says that the Ascension Party, the dock and freight service will be the only things that Weissman won't own out of Eric's fleet.  That means the resort, which includes the Pavilion and the Blue Whale will change ownership.

Our source, close to Weissman, says you can expect immediate change and a whole new team in place that seems to involve names like Daniel Nardicio who last year ran the competition across the Island.



Jennifer Lopez takes over 'Lopez Tonight' [video]

INCASE YOU MISSED IT

Jennifer Lopez thrust herself into the late night wars earlier this week when she did a spoof acting as if she had taken over "Lopez Tonight" bumping smaller named host George Lopez.

During her monologue, she took a stab at Sarah Palin calling her a bitch in Spanish. I'm sure that's going to give Palin something to talk about at her new Fox News gig.

Jlo, of course, isn't really the new host at Lopez tonight. She pulled off a great monologue though, and she took a good jab at NBC bumpiing Conan O'Brien with Jay Leno.

It's down to four on 'Launch My Line" [video]

WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON TELEVISION

On tonight's Launch My Line they've roped in Kara Saun from the first season of Project Runway. She's no Gaga, but this on Bravo for goodness sakes.

There are only FOUR designers and TWo challenges left, so the stakes are higher then ever".

And with only FOUR designers remaining and TWO challenges left, the stakes of the competition couldn’t be higher!  When the final four are asked to create a three-piece outfit that allows their target client to alter the look for different events, the pressure is on to make a flawless garment. 

And while they are under the gun to get their piece done, will special guest star, Kara Saun, “yay” or “nay” the designer’s looks?

Clash of the Titans : Who wore it best?

NIGHTLIFE

who_wore_it1.jpg

 

All three of these party goers wore the same style get up 3 weeks in a row to hot spot Vandam. The real question is who wore it best? Let us know in the comments below!



Is this Taylor Lautner and his gay lover stepping out?

PHONE PAPS

taylor_launter_caught_bf.jpg

We recently asked you to help us catch your favorite celebrities in action by snapping a photo with your phone or digital camera if you see any stars out and about.

Today's phone paps might have help us solve an open case!  Is Taylor Lautner really gay, and is the "Twilight" star really dating this kid - Sean Fox Zastoupil?

[Editor's note:  the following section of this article was re-written to retract certainty about the photo above.]

Taylor may be gay, and he might be dating Sean... however, this photo means nothing!  This pic was evidently altered and Sean is actually dubbed over Taylor Swift.  You can see the real photo in the links provided below by our always friendly commenters.

Even though Lautner says, 'You can pretty much believe 10 percent of everything you read online."  He won't say whether or not the gay rumor is part of that believable 10 percent.

Lautner and Fox-Zastoupil have been spotted together a lot like in this phone paps photo above, and Taylor even evidently took Sean with him when he hosted SNL.

There Sean was bragging on his man, "Taylor is an amazing performer and a great actor. He really represented SNL and I hope that they continue having him back. He is truly doing what he loves to do and having a great time with it."

We're not 100 percent sure whether Taylor is gay, bi or try; but he clearly isn't ready to come out of the closet or he would have already done so.  If he isn't gay, that's one waste of a beautiful man on some breeder.

 



Mr. Gay China Pageant blocked by police

A Chinese pageant for gay men was evidently shut down by cops, and organizers find themselves wondering why and how it all happened.

Just as the scene was set for the Mr. Gay China pageant, cops came in and shut the sold out show down.  Many of the contestants even said they were planning to come out of the closet or the first time during the Mr. Gay Pageant.

The pageant isn't all about beautiful hot gay men, I guess that's why it has a reputation as a huge platform for Talent. as well as as well as a question-and-answer

It doesn't however look like China will ever have a Mr. Gay contest.   The offered me a trip down and a limo back with all expenses paid trade too if I'm lucky!

Conan and NBC divorce latest: who will get the dog?

The latest word on the gossip mill from NBC is that Conan O'Brien is nearly a deal that would let him out of his contract and give him the chance to take characters he has created under the network's watch.

Just like his character Triumph, the insult slinging puppet; Conan's deal to take his make believe friends with him has strings attached.

Evidently if O'Brien wants to work again immediately, he will have to leave his characters behind.  TMZ is reporting that the only way Conan will walk with the dog is if he isn't willing to compete with NBC for a while.

Mariah Carey and her golden globes cause award show fashion fall out [video]

FASHION

The outfit that normally gets the most buzz on award show red carpets is typically the one that is bold and over the top.  Instead, at the Golden Globes, it was the lack of fabric that landed Mariah Carey on many worst dressed lists. 

Carey wore a somewhat simple Hervé Léger gown with plenty of décolletage, and its the girls who are getting all the buzz.

Mariah has been back in the headlines after a less-than-sober acceptance speech at last week's critic choice awards where she was being honored for her performance in the movie Precious.

As for her gown at the Globes, I'm allergic to boobies and I didn't even feel like this was too much of a dosage.



"Real Housewives of New York" sneak peak at new season [video]

I can't wait for the "Real Housewives of New York" to return, so I wanted to give you this sneak peak! 

My most favorite of all the "Real Housewives" franchises on Bravo would have to be the ladies of New York.

This season, we're going to see Bethenny leave the show for a spin-off.  We'll also get the latest on Luann's relationship with the Count (or lack-there-of) and some wacky Romona behavior.

The best is going to have to be in Jill Zarin knocks the shit out of Jill Bensimon.



Sandra Bullock talks about making out with Meryl Streep

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

While everyone is talking about the Golden Globes, many are still a buzz about Sandra Bullock's lip lock with Meryl Streep at the Critic's Choice Awards.

Bullock even addressed it on the red carpet for the Globes.

"It was mindblowing and unbelievable," Bullock said on the red carpet at the Golden Globes Awards.  "It ranks like in the top two moments in my life."

I wonder where her marriage to reality star Jesse James lands on that list.  On Sunday night, her marriage seemed to be the last thing on her mind. 

"She kind of wants me," Bullock joked. "I think we may do a movie together that has a little sapphic element to it. Everyone's been like, 'Let's get them together as lovers.' "

I'm not sure what Meryl Streep thinks about all of this.

"Real Housewives'" Tamra addresses divorce live on the air [video]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

In case you missed "What What Happens Live" this week on Bravo, Tamra Barney from "the Real Housewives of Orange County" confirmed that her husband, Simon, has filed for divorce.

This OC divorce seems to be off to a nasty start.  Simon was casting "What What Happens Host", Andy Cohen, throughout the night accusing Tamara of infidelity.

The "Real Housewives" star insists, "I did not cheat on my husband."

Tamara says that Simon is just too controlling because she was having casual conversations with an ex-boyfriend.

The couple, once highly successful, have fallen on hard times with the recession.
