Return of the Fame-Sucking Publicity Whore!!!

I've mentioned multiple times on my displeasure with reading about those salivating fame hounds Lance Bass and Reichen whateverhisnameis. They're so transparently desparate for our adulation and peering eyes. And of course Lance came out (to a magazine, of course) just at the same time that Reichen had a book (an autobiography) being released soon after.

Well, now I've read the fabulous stunning news that Lance himself is to pen an autobiography, which amuses me to no end. Apparently he'll write about being a member of N' Sync (even though a quick glance at Wikipedia could tell you all about it) and how his case of keeping himself in the closet from fans was so radically different from all the other cases he read about. Yawn.

On one final note, as you can tell, I am not a fan of Lance, but as a gay man I feel sorry for the dude. Every time People publishes an article about him they use that same sad sorry photo of him (left) with bags under his eyes, pale blotchy skin, ratty facial hair, crooked smile and horrible shirt. That poor man. Everytime he googles himself (y'all know he does) and up pops an article from People he has to be spooked by that awful photo.

Valentine's Day Hot Stuff

I received an e-mail from Nathaniel asking to name my favourite celebrity couple. His Top 10 (oh yes, there was a list) included some great - Warren & Annette, Ryan & Rachel - and some bad - Brangelina. And of course there was the circus freak show that is Posh and Becks. Of course, unlike a circus (which I hate. DOWN WITH THE CIRCUS!!andmostlyclowns), Posh and Becks are sort of fascinating. It's sort of hilarious.

But, I've made no secret of who the real hottest celebrity is. I sort of really dislike Brangelina. They seem so holier than thou and their stupid wax bodies piss me off. And they're not even good looking. They were at one stage, but it's as if they lost every ounce of personality they once had.


No, the best celebrity couple, the sexiest celebrity couple, is Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci. I'm surprised they don't let off smoke whenever they walk anywhere. Branglina's faces would melt if they ever got as hot as Vince and Monica. So, more for my appreciation than anything else, let us look at a whole bunch of pictures of them.

Monica = Sexiest Woman Alive
Vinent = Not quite the Sexiest Man Alive, but damn close.

Mmmm. Those pictures of Irreversible make me wanna watch the movie again, but, despite not finding it anywhere near as bad as I expected (I gave it a B-), I don't intent to ever watch it again.

A sad sorry day for America...

Bilson & Brody Split

The OC co-stars Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson have split, according to new US reports. The couple, who play lovers on the hit show, have been dating for over two years. A source tells American publication Life & Style, "They've been done for a few weeks... There's no drama. They just ended it."

I think I'm gonna go cry now. If they can't make it work WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR THE REST OF US?!?!

The Sham Is Over!

I recently (November 9 to be precise) spoke about one of the worst "celebrity" couples (I really do use the word "celebrity" loosely in this case) in the form ex-N Sync member Lance "I'm Gay! Am I famous again now? PLEASE" Bass and famously non-famous Reichen "GIVE ME YOUR FAME OR I'LL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!!!!" Lehmkuhl. It was a relationship that seemed even more of a sham than Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (speaking of them, has she given up on that silly "Call me Kate" thing now?).

Now, it turns out that the desperate farcical charade has ended to the surprise of no one. It was pretty much doomed from the outset. A relationship built around two horribly fame-hungry wankers whose sole existence is to provide publicity for the other, was never gonna work. Maybe there are legitimate reasons for the split: They stopped "loving" each other. The spotlight was more than they realised and couldn't it (Lance came out in July, so it didn't last any longer than one of Lindsay Lohan's dalliances). Lance couldn't handle being "the ugly one" (seriously, check out the picture of him on here and here. I sorta feel bad for him in that respect). But, I predict, it was that Reichen realised that he no longer needed this former star and dumped him. I mean, Reichen's book has been out for a while now so it's obviously sold itself to all the hardcores and the "Trick is way better than Brokeback Mountain" crowd and he figured doing this got him even more publicity that he didn't have to pay for.

And then there's Lance who hadn't been seen clammering into a photo frame for a few weeks now. Whatever is a homo to do? Why, do the stereotypical-queer move and lose the excess baggage. A relationship that lasts four months in the public eye? That's, like, totally one of longest relationships in Hollywood. *roll eyes*

I predict he'll resurrect his ridiculous space idea before trying his hand at the ludicrous television idea mentioned in the article while trying to weasle any party invites he can get out of this (OMG Showdown on the red carpet between Lance and Reichen plz).

Meanwhile, I expect Reichen to become even more of a D-grade celebrity and will appear on at least one more reality television show. He will also continue outing people who used to be famous (they'll be "lanced" for sure!omglol!!!) :/

Maybe some day soon we'll get a high profile gay male couple that a) don't flaut their desperate desire for fame in our faces and b) don't just confirm dated stereotypes (flippy bottom and alpha top, wax, love em and leave em). Why can't there be a male equivelent of Ellen and Portia? Now there is a queer couple that I can champion. You go girls!

Bass is developing an Odd Couple-inspired sitcom pilot with former 'N Sync-er Joey Fatone in which his character will be gay and has a role in the upcoming comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

Doesn't that just sound scary?!
