"What the hell? Since when did I become the spokesperson for nappy headed hos?" — Wan... Billy Masters...
— Wanda Sykes explains to Jay Leno that her hair is not nappy — it's curly! By the way, we'll show the entire clip on our website.
Over the past three months, 30 men have been arrested at the Atlanta airport for indecent exposure and public sex acts. Thirty guys in three months? That seems awfully low to me, but what do I know? The cops were tipped off by folks trying to set up "dates" at the loos after posting on Craigslist like this: "Stuck in Atlanta for three hours between planes, looking for discreet, quick action." Yet another meaning for the term "lay over". Maybe this should be handled by a specialist. Is George Michael available?
Tragedy rocks Tinsletown. No, I'm not talking about Kitty Carlisle Hart being struck down in her prime (please don't ask me what she died of — she was 96!). I'm talking about a void the entertainment industry will feel for at least a week or two — Joan and Melissa Rivers have been banished from the red carpet! Recently, reports surfaced that Joan and Missy were entertaining offers to leave the TV Guide Channel. In actuality, the Grim Rivers' contract expired at the end of this awards season, and negotiations between the parties were not going well. Allegedly, Rivers wanted another multi-year (and multi-million dollar) contract, while TV Guide was concerned about the alienation of many celebrities by Joan's gaffes and her, umm, lapses of immediate recall (boy, that was a close one). TV Guide has announced that thespian Lisa Rinna will handle red carpet duties, while speculation swirls that the mother-daughter duo could end up on A&E. However, given Joan's successful comedy special for Bravo last year — to say nothing of a stalled nightly show in development hell — this could lead to our de facto gay network picking up the terrible … err, terrific twosome.
Finally, my kinda headline — "I was Larry Birkhead's secret gay lover!" Phew — for a second, I was starting to think my gaydar was on the fritz. This explains the highlights! Former model Kerrick Ross claims to have dated Larry in 2000 back when Birkhead still lived in Louisville, Ky. — and he's got a photo with Larry to prove it. Oy! The boys dated for two months and had sex about 10 times — so obviously they never traveled to Atlanta. In an exclusive interview with the National Enquirer, Ross states that although he stole Birkhead away from another guy, Larry was also dating women throughout their torrid two-month tryst. Legally speaking, none of this means anything or takes away from Larry's parenting skills. It simply means it's not the first time he's been a daddy! I'll run photos of the ambiguously gay duo, as well as some of Kerrick solo, on BillyMasters.com.
Speaking of hot daddies, we just got a bunch of photos of a very buff shirtless (and wet) Hugh Jackman playing with his kids on Sydney's Bronte Beach — obviously named after Emily and Charlotte. Fans of a real man can enjoy these snaps on our website.
American Idol has spawned a myriad of projects for former contestants, not the least of which is porn. Yes, I said porn. Before you get too excited, it's heterosexual porn. Olivia Mojica is the star of a homemade video (with boyfriend Adam Roberts) which was leaked to Vivid Entertainment. The video company has contacted Mojica to see if she'd like to promote the flick and share in the profits. Since I have no recollection of her on American Idol, I say go for it.
Several Idol alum I've actually heard of will be appearing at "Idol Camp", which is a 10-day program designed to help kids prepare for pop super stardom. The line-up includes Vonzell Solomon (who, I believe, was once in a police line-up), Jon Peter Lewis (who Simon said looked like a pen salesman) and Carmen Rasmusen (the gal who yodeled). I don't know which is worse — this list of "luminaries" or the fact that "Idol Camp" takes place in the entertainment capital of the world, Northfield, Mass.!
Sexy Anthony Federov won't be able to join his fellow Idol vets — he's actually got a gig! Federov just returned from singing for the U.S. Air Force troops stationed in Europe, and will now go into the off-Broadway cast of The Fantasticks — a show I thought closed years ago.
In case anyone is keeping track, Mario Vazquez says, "I'm not gay. But I want people to know I'm very tolerant of gays. I grew up with gay people." And, I'm sure many of his close friends are gay, too!
This week's first "Ask Billy" question comes from Gary in Baltimore, who writes: "I was just in London and in the airport they were hanging a poster of a stunning hunk in a towel advertising some candy. Could you find out who he is and what the candy is?"
The hunk is Jason Lewis, previously on Sex and the City and currently on Brothers and Sisters (playing gay, incidentally). The candy is Aero Bubble from Nestlés and Jason not only cavorts in the print ad but also shows quite a bit of skin in the TV commercial, which a U.K. fan sent us. We'll post both on BillyMasters.com. By the way, you may not have recognized him since he's sporting his natural hair color — something Larry and I rarely do.
I break one of those self-imposed moratoriums for Jeremy in Orange County, who asks: "Have you seen the photos of Reichen and his latest boyfriend? A friend of mine tells me the guy is from Laguna and an aggressive top. What does that mean?"
Exactly what you think it does! And it's a little detail confirmed by people close to Ricky. Incidentally, the guy in question is Ryan Barry, and many of my readers knew him back when he worked as a trainer at the Laguna Health Club. Here's a little FYI for those of you not in the biz — when most "celebrities" (even D-Listers) walk the red carpet with an insignificant other, they usually have their date step aside and pose solo. The ones posing a deux are those trying just a little too hard. Of course, if they weren't trying so hard, we wouldn't be able to post photos of ‘em — including one from when they turned up together at the Boy Culture premiere.
