George's HIV stupidity

George Michael may not be afraid of making Fast Love in public toilets.

But like most gay men, it does appear he's scared of a little prick.

The singer hasn't had an HIV test since 2004, reveals Ross Wilson, producer of Stephen Fry's new TV show HIV And Me, because he's terrified the result may be positive.

Which makes us think of well know saying involving heads and sand.

The revelation follows news a book is being written on the singer's life detailing his "sexual freedom" and drug taking.

Brazil gripped by gay footballer rumour

This nugget is from Popbitch:

"It's not just Britain that's obsessed by  gay footballers.

There's a huge rumour going around media circles in Brazil that a top player in Sao Paulo wants to come out on a TV show, Fantastico, but that his agent and the club are trying to talk him out of it."

We would hazard a guess, but tragically we know nothing about football in Brazil ... do you?

True Brit singing sensation to emigrate?

Lily Allen, who's ode to the English capital, LDN, asked 'why, oh why would I want to be anywhere else?' has announced that she is relocating to NYC.

According to reports, the singer's record company is shelling out $10,000 a month for a plush riverside apartment while she's working on a new album.

In contrast to a typical outing in London, which saw Allen encountering crack whores and watching old ladies getting mugged, New York's policy of zero tolerance has reportedly left city life strangely anaemic and fun-free.

But then as she was actually raised on the mean streets of Islington, Manhattan's coffee shops and boutiques are probably a home away from home.

Following recent reports of personal troubles, let's just hope they make her smile.

Singer reveals same-sex crush dilemma

Paolo Nutini - crazy name, crazy guy!

The Scots singer has been telling journos about his encounter with a gay fan.

Apparently Paolo had been concentrating his attention on a lady member of the audience at one of his gigs,  but someone misunderstood:

"A guy came up to me later and said, 'I saw you looking at me throughout that song.'

"I said: 'I'm sorry man, I think there was a girl right beside you,'

"And he went: 'Aww, it wasn't me?' It was the most awkward moment.

"He said: 'So you're not gay?' And I said: 'No.' The dude walked away then came up again and shook my hand.

"He sort of went, 'I'm sorry about that see you later.' And then he left his number in my hand! Ten out of ten for trying!"

Oh Paolo it is true - gay men are bad at taking the hint.

And it is not your fault you are 20 and all pretty and emo and things.

Try to look more straight in future.

BB loser's gayness may be an act

The father of ex Big Brother contestant Seany has said his son is only pretending to be gay.

Sean O'Kane, 47, spoke to The Star. First mistake. He said:

“My son’s not gay, it was all a game plan. But sadly it was one that backfired on him.

“I know he kissed Gerry but he is not gay. He was doing it for the cameras."

Aaaah, denial. Is there a stronger force in the world today?

Anyway, the 25-yea-old ginger joker told the tabloid he is actually gay! And he has now told his dad.

Die Hard - Brokeback edition

Justin Long - who co-stars in summer blockbuster Die Hard 4.0 with old hand Bruce Willis - has revealed his plans for the franchise.

At last night's London premiere, he said he would love to come back for Hard 5:

"I feel like at the end, I felt like the natural progression is that Bruce and I end up kind of getting together as a couple, and it becomes more of a romantic, Brokeback Mountain type venue to take it in that direction.

“I don’t know if the world is ready for Die Hard to go that way."

God, the bears will have a field day. Brucie goes gay for pay etc.

But what to call it? Die Hard, Ride Hard?

Justin, 29, was in hit movie Dodgeball and dodgy TV series Ed.

And get this. Those really quite annoying ads that Mitchell and Webb have been doing for Apple?

Justin did THE SAME ADS in the States! Playing the cool one, obviously.

BB hetero snags more modelling

He has not even managed to get himself kicked out of the Big Brother house, yet heterosexual stud muffin has already been signed up for modelling gigs on the outside.

Zac Lichman, also known as Ziggy, will be the face, the remarkable simian face, of Lynx deodorant.

First they had Kelly Brook, then the waa-waa-waa-waa-waa thing, whatever that was, and now it is pixie-favced Ziggy.

It is not hard to see where Lynx sees its market share - somewhere along the M6.

Ziggy has been amusing no-one with his general ignorance of gay behaviour - something we might get exercised about if anyone was actually watching BB, which they aren't ...

Gay Tory reveals mayoral ambitions

He isn’t the Conservative Party’s candidate for the London Mayoral elections. Not yet anyway.  But last night, Nick Boles, former Director of the influential think tank Policy Exchange, told a large gathering of gay politicos at the popular social networking event, Village Drinks, why he thought he qualified for the position.

Speaking at a special event at the Arts Club on Dover Street, he was asked by Matthew Parris whether he was prepared for the media attention on his life which lies ahead as he tries to become Mayor.

He happily told the crowd that all of the skeletons in his closet were “dancing in the street” – but, when asked what they were exactly, he couldn’t quite remember!    

The speech was warmly received and the reaction of the audience indicates that Nick well be one to watch. 

Village Drinks meanwhile is riding a wave of popularity.  Their next event is at the CC Club on Wed 27^th June and rumour is afoot that they are due to launch a new website ...

 

Annoying Shabnam booted out of Big Brother

Since Tuesday, the public have been voting to decide whether Carole, Shabnam or Tracey should be the first housemate to be publicly evicted from the Big Brother house.

During tonight’s 10:00pm show, Davina McCall announced live to the house that the next person to be evicted would be Shabnam. She received 81.4% of the total votes cast, and had to leave the Big Brother house immediately to be greeted by Davina and the crowd outside.

On hearing the news, Shabnam said “I told you, I knew it. I knew it” before kissing and hugging her housemates. “I’ve had a blast” she said, as Charley started crying and hugging her. “You don’t deserve to go!” said Amanda.

“We’ll stay in touch. I’ll support you all. I love you all, don’t forget me” said Shabnam as she finally left the Big Brother house.

Earlier this evening in the 8:30pm show, four new male housemates arrived. Billi, 25, Brian, 19, Jonathan, 49, and Liam, 22, joined what was once an all-female house, meaning there are now seven male and eight female housemates in the Big Brother house.

One question: did anyone care enough to watch? We were glued to Britain's Got Talent.
