Cutting Room Floor!
Well, the season final of “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency” ran and the footage they shot of me interviewing Janice for a Hotspots’ article apparently ended up on the cutting floor. It’s no surprise and I said all along that it would probably get dumped. But I’m holding Janice to her promise that when she opens her “Fat, Balding Old Fag” Division, I’ll be the first one she calls.
The Scent of a Man!
Model Miranda Kerr claimed in Star Magazine that her boyfriend, actor Orlando Bloom stinks. A source told Star: ”Miranda thinks Orlando is too smelly. Recently, she asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often. He’ll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks.” (I know guys that would pay good money to be able to take a sniff of Orlando. She should be happy she can get it for free!)
Obama’s Ads Target Gay Community!
As part of his presidential campaign in Texas and Ohio, candidate Barack Obama purchased ad space targeting the GLBT community and appeared in Outlook Weekly (Columbus, OH, The Gay People’s Chronicle, Cleveland, OH), the Dallas Voice and Outsmart (Houston, TX). According to The Advocate, [Obama’s GLBT steering committee] called the coordinated buy ‘the icing on the cake’ in terms of the Obama camp’s outreach to the gay community in Ohio and Texas. ‘It’s a direct appeal to LGBT voters asking for their support,’ he said, adding that the ad includes information about how people can get involved with the campaign. The Obama campaign has actively been trying to cut into the longstanding ties between gays and lesbians and Hillary Clinton.
Now Stop That!
Did you know that it’s against the law to touch yourself (yes, down there) through your clothes in Italy? According to The Guardian in the U.K., the court recently ruled against a 42-year old, unnamed worker from Como, Italy and convicted him of indecent behavior for, what they described as “ostentatiously touching his genitals through his clothing”. The man’s defense lawyer pointed out that he was just adjusting himself. The crotch grabber was fined 200-Euros and another 1,000-Euros in court costs. I’ve not heard whether or not grabbing someone else’s crotch in public is legal or not.
Who Cut the Cheese?!
I know many people that don’t really give two sheets about football but will always watch the Superbowl because of the creative commercials. Well, there was one Bud Light that the Superbowl people deemed too controversial titled, “Who Cut the Cheese?” Check out this hilarious commercial at www.QueerChannel.tv/hs.
Interns Wanted!
Senator Larry Craig, you know, the toe-tapping restroom airport Senator from Idaho, is looking for summer interns. According to Craig, the person must be a college student interested in politics, must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and be proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint. However, comedian David Letterman added some requirements to that list: must have a distinguished brow and a firm set jaw; rippling biceps; sculpted chest, flowing hair and there were more. What parent would want their son or daughter to become Craig’s intern and why doesn’t he just resign already — he’s become a national joke.
Put Those Speedos On, Boy!
How many of us have wanted to see Justin Timberlake in a pair of Speedoes. Well, in Mike Myers’ upcoming summer comedy, The Love Guru you’ll get your chance. In the promo for the film, Myers’ character says of Timberlake: “Looks like he’s smuggling a Schnauzer.” Can't wait to see the film because I’m very curious about the Boogie Nights-style mustache but it really doesn’t make him look all that butch.
Boy George Pleads Not Guilty!
Boy George appeared in a London court and entered a not-guilty plead to charges of false imprisonment of a male escort. As I reported earlier this year, BG allegedly met Norwegian escort, Auden Carlsen on Gaydar.com, a British gay dating site, invited Carlesen to his flat and chained him up. BG’s trial is set for November. It makes me wonder, with all the weird press BG has been getting over the last few years, if those braids in BG’s hair for all those years was a tad bit too tight.
X-Microsofter Leaves Millions to Gay Groups!
