CNN: The New Gay Lifestyle Channel

Richard Quest

Richard Quest, 46, an openly-gay reporter and business travel specialist for CNN, was arrested at 3:40 a.m. Friday morning after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street.

A source says Quest was initially busted for loitering, but as he was being escorted out of the park, he told the arresting officer “I have meth in my pocket.” And he wonders why he works for CNN and not the CIA.

Upon further inspection, law-enforcement sources found a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot. The criminal complaint against Quest said the park was closed at the time - something Quest should have known because of all the signs saying “Park Closed 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.”

Tis’ the season to be jolly…or in this case, gay.

Ricky has traded in his usually festive Queer Eye attire for a more hard-core, circuit partier look. He also revealed that nothing comes between him and his Calvins as he gave spectators a flash of his Menudo maker.

Sex According to Brett Ratner

Brett Ratner is The Spirit

According to director Brett Ratner, it’s a pretty common occurrence for a straight guy to “unknowingly” receive oral sex from a transvestite and joke about it with his equally unsuspecting buddies.

Yeah right Brett, straight guys always sit around watching football, drinking beer and talking about the chicks with dicks they scored with the night before.

In a recent interview with The Advocate’s Paul Pratt, the director of such cinema classics as X-Men: The Last Stand and Rush Hour 1 & 2, defended himself against accusations that the latest installment in the Rush Hour franchise features anti-gay humor, by claiming one scene in particular is actually a page out of his own life:

Advocate: What about when the girl takes off her wig and Chris Tucker becomes angry and accuses her of being a man?

Ratner: No, no! That’s from my personal experience. My first blow job was from a man, but I didn’t know it was a man. That’s where that comes from. It’s based on personal experience. It happens to a lot of people.

Advocate: Is that common knowledge?

Ratner: No! Well, among my friends, but I’m not homophobic or uptight about it. That happens to a lot of heterosexuals. You meet a girl in a bar, and it turns out she’s not a girl. I think a girl should tell you if she’s a girl or a man - that way it’s your preference. That specific idea was because it’s happened to me. It’s happened to my friends. We’ll get together with a girl, and it’ll turn out to be a guy. The reaction is “Oh, shit!” if you’re not gay, which is funny, I think. Getting into the situation is funny. I laugh whenever I see one of my friends talking to a girl, and I’ll ask, “Is that a man or a woman?” It’s funny, especially if you don’t know about it. If you know about it, fine. If that’s your preference…

During the interview, Ratner also seemed very curious about a particular populace of the gay community:

Ratner: So, during my last gay interview, the guy was on the Internet and said, ‚Äö?Ñ??I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m looking at you right now, and you‚Äö?Ñ?¥re a bear.‚Äö?Ñ?? What‚Äö?Ñ?¥s a bear?

Advocate: For starters, it means you‚Äö?Ñ?¥re hairy.

Ratner: There‚Äö?Ñ?¥s no hair on my ass. I have no hair on my balls. So why am I a bear?

Advocate: Is there hair on your chest?

Ratner: [Pulls down his collar] A little bit, but barely. Look at my legs! [Pulls up his pant leg] Look at my legs. I’m not a hairy “bear.” I don’t even have hair on my back!

No Brett, you’re not a hairy “bear,” you’re more the submissive bottom, “cub” type. One gets the distinct feeling a remake of The Village People musical, “Can’t Stop The Music,” could very well be in Ratner’s future.

Some straight hater swears on his stack of Enquirers and Judy Garland CDs that John Kennedy JR. was bisexual and had a string of man to man flings which apparently went on for several years without a single paparazzi ever snapping one shred of evidence. Of course this claim is being made years after JFK JR’s death which makes it all the more credible. If the article were in print you could probably use it to line your bird cage, so I’m providing this link so readers can print it out and make Tweety happy.

Is Superman Gay?

Brandon Routh as the man of steel.

Is Singer’s Superman A Loss For Lois?

Did director Bryan Singer’s penchant for casting with the lensman in his pants influence his choice of Brandon Routh to play the Man of Steel in Superman Returns? Ever since the unknown 26-year-old actor - whose career highlights consist of a season on One Life to Live and an episode of Will & Grace - landed the part over Warner Brothers’ reported favorite Jim Caviezel, fanboy bloggers have been wondering whether the famously beefcake-friendly filmmaker’s decision had more to do with his libido than his director’s eye.

Of course, if Singer cast an object of his desire in a role, it wouldn’t be the first time. According to Alex Burton, the unknown who played Pyro in Singer’s first X-Men blockbuster, he was given the part after a hot-tub session with the director at a Hollywood party. “Bryan created that role especially for me,” says Burton, who went on to act in exactly zero films post-X-Men.

What’s The Big Deal With This Guy?

null

Who cares if he’s gay? The real story is how the media randomly selects some unknown actor every new TV season and forces them down your throat to the point where you can’t stand to see the person. I call this phenomenon “Eva Langoria Syndrome” and it is spread through the brain-eating virus known as “Access Hollywood.” I’ll believe the hype if the series makes it a few seasons and anyone still cares by then.

He’s A Hand Holder

Sources in attendance report that Wentworth Miller ( star of the Fox show “Prison Break” ), was seen holding hands with another tall-dark-and-handsome dude at the now infamous T-Mobile Party. The closeted couple sat in a booth surrounded by a group of close friends, sucking face vodka tonics. Wenty, recently subject of a blind item, has been dodging the gay rumors since getting his big break in the Mariah Carey videos. I am sure in between takes, Wenty had to contain himself from singing “Emotions” at the top of lungs and admiring Mimi’s 25 ft. long wedding train. So-Thin! has evidence that Wentworth was in a relationship with a man, more to come on this not-so-blind item …

Kissing Jake Is A Violent Job

Almost everytime two people share a same sex kiss in a major Hollywood movie, at least one of those involved has their publicist usually issue some asshole of a statement saying how “difficult, uncomfortable and awkward” it was to do a gay kiss. It’s a feeble attempt to reassure the stars ‘masculinity’/'femininity’ at best, an insulting derogatory indictment at worst.

That’s why in a surprisingly amusing article today, Jake Gyllenhaal admitted to Digital Spy that while his gay love scenes with Heath Ledger in Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain” were tough, it wasn’t for the reasons that most PR hacks would have you believe.

Gyllenhaal says “Heath almost broke my nose in a kissing scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me, and then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the shit beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn’t hurting as badly as I did after that one.”
