Anthony Scaramucci was White House Communications Director for a hot minute, and some say he didn’t contribute much, but maybe he had a little had in styling?

Katy Price who once worked as a hair and makeup stylist for Russia Today … seriously … and CNN, in now a full-time White House official and the title of “production assistant” whose job it is to make White House Liar Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Minister of Propaganda, Kellyanne Conway, among others, camera ready.

Clearly, she needs help in her job … Just sayin’.

I do love a Putin smackdown …

The Washington DC City Council has voted unanimously to rename a street in front of the Russian Embassy after Boris Nemtsov, the slain opposition leader and prominent foe of President Vladimir Putin.

Nemtsov, an outspoken critic of Putin’s government, was killed in February 2015 just outside the Kremlin hours after calling for marches to be held in opposition to Russia’s military involvement in Ukraine.

Coincidence? Perhaps not, and not the Russian Embassy sits on Boris Nemtsov Avenue.

The other morning Carlos asked what I wanted for breakfast and I said toast. So, since he runs the breakfast shift at Café Bob y Carlos, he set out the bread butter, marmalade and toaster. As he was making the coffee. He asked if I wanted some pineapple with my breakfast and I said No.

He said:

“You should have some, it’s good for you.”

I said, already annoyed: 

“I know that, I just don’t want any.”

He said:

“You should have pineapple, pineapple is good for you.”

And since because I love drama, if only for the laughs, I said:

“If you say ‘pineapple’ one more f**king time, I’m throwing it into the back yard.”

And he stopped because he knew I’d do it since … a while back, on another morning when we were having toast for breakfast, I had finished mine, set my juice glass on my bread plate, moved it to the side and started finishing my Café con Leche. Carlos asked if I wanted more toast, and I did a circular motion above my plate and said:

“Um, this is the universal symbol for being done.”

He replied:

“I was just concerned that maybe you wanted more toast.”

“I don’t”

“Well, if you wanted more toast, I was going to toast it for you.”

I took the loaf of bread and hurled it across the kitchen.

“Now no one gets toast!”

I do love the drama, and love that Carlos sees it for the joke.

Meryl Streep was on Jimmy Kimmel this week and dished the Golden Globes … like how Mariah Carey stole her seat.

Streep was supposed to be seated next to Steven Spielberg at The Post table but when she arrived her chair was occupied by Mimi:

“Bitch stole my seat. I came back, and there she was, next to Spielberg, sucking up.”

Streep was, perhaps, joking about the sucking up. She did say Mariah was contrite:

“She said, ‘Oh my god they made me sit down!’ Because you know we were moving….’ They make you…you know they say, ‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – wherever you are, everyone has to drop to their seat.”

So, being Meryl F**king Streep, she plopped herself down in Mimi’s ample lap.

No word on if she rested her head on Mimi’s more than ample bosoms.

I love The Amazing Race for it’s trips around the world, and for the fact that the show has long featured gay contestants and gay couples, and this year is no exception with the addition of hotties and besties Trevor Wadleigh and Chris Marchant.

Man.Candy.

And talented, too, as anyone who following Mistress Maddie’s blog, A Day with the Mistress Borghese, knows the two men are part of the musical quartet Well-Strung.

Hot. Hunky. Talented. Yum.

Carson Jones, the gay son of newly elected Democratic Alabama Senator Doug Jones, posted a photo to social media of his dad’s swearing-in on Wednesday and it’s priceless … and not just because Carson is kinda hot.

In the photo, Carson appears to be staring down giant homophobe, and perhaps deeply closeted homosexual, Vice President Mike Pence.

Priceless… but enough pictures of Pence; here’s Carson:

In other good gay news, figure skater Adam Rippon is the first openly gay man from the US to ever qualify for the Winter Olympics. Rippon has a good sense of humor about the notoriety:

“A few weeks ago, I was asked in an interview – and I tweeted about it – that they asked me, what was it like being a gay athlete in sports? And I said, it’s exactly like being a straight athlete, only with better eyebrows.”

Now, there were other gay athletes in the Olympics, but Rippon is the first openly gay athlete.

Good luck to you, sir.

In Hot Man news … new model Cordell Broadus. He’s kinda pouty boy hot … pouty boy with good abs hot. But the kicker is … his father is Snoop Dog.

Cordell must take after his mama.

Caite Upton Goes All Stupid. Again.

Remember Caite Upton, the pageant knucklehead from South Carolina, and The Iraq and such as? Yes? No? Well, either way, here's a refresher before we get started:

Yeah. Anyway. We're so proud, and such as, here in South Carolina, because we have access to illiterate fools, and such as. But I digress.

Caite Upton, Miss Airhead 2010, and her Huckleberry hound, model-[?]-boyfriend, Brent Horne, are contestants in the latest rendition of The Amazing Race, partially in hopes of dispelling the myth that models in general, and Caite in particular, are dumb.

It's, um, not working.

See, dim bulb Caire, and dimmer bulb Brent Horne, seemed to have had it out for lesbian couple Carol Rosenfeld and Brandy Snow almost from the first episode of the season. I can understand, a little, because Caite overheard that Carol and Brandy had a laugh or twelve at her expense over "The Iraq And Such As". But Caite Upton made those idiotic statements, and has heard all the jokes, so why the express anger at Rosenfeld and Snow.

Aaaaah! Lesbians.

See, I think Caite, dear sweet shy stupid naive Caite, bless her heart, is one of your mainstream South Carolina homophobes. And, so, she had to find a way to rid The Amazing Race of The Lesbians. But, to hear Carol and Brandy tell it, they assumed all was right between the couple and the couple of airheads.

Carol Rosenfeld: "We both had separate conversations with her and Caite talked about [her infamous answer at Miss Teen USA 2007] and how she overcame it. I remember specifically saying, 'Good for you,' so to find out how much she hated us was a complete shock."

The models' very visible hatred of the two women culminated in last Sunday's episode when they U-Turned Carol and Brandy, leading to their elimination. So, why the intense hatred, and why, Caite and Brent, you two inept fools, the need to constantly refer to Carol and Brandy as "The Lesbians"? I don't recall other teams referring to you two as "The Two Mindnumbingly Dumb Asshats From South Carolina".

Carol Rosenfeld: "I don't want to go to the point where I say she's homophobic because that's a pretty severe indictment of somebody. I don't know. People will have to be the judge of that, but you watch it and you don't know this is going on, and you like to think that in this day and age, people of a much younger generation would be a little more open-minded. It is what it is. She was clearly obsessed with beating and eliminating us. I think she very clearly had a problem with us as lesbians, not with us as individuals because she never individually indicts one of us as having done anything specifically wrong to them."

No need to do anything specifically wrong to them, just the simple fact that you're Lesbians, and she somehow, if it's even possible, thinks of you as less than she is, proves that Caite Upton is an Idiotic-Homophobe from a state full of them.

And such as.

I Ain't One To Gossip But......

Okay, so this falls way into the "gossip" mode, but, oy, if it were true.
That bastion of fair reporting, The National Enquirer--Hey! They broke the John Edwards affair--is reporting that Jeremy Renner, nominated hottie, er actor, for The Hurt Locker, is a homo, though, he prefers to keep his private life private.
A woman named Melanee Wyatt, who claims to have worked as Jeremy's acting coach says, "I have never had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy's boyfriend, but the fact that Jeremy is gay has never been a primary concern."
And still other "sources" say Jeremy wants to star in a musical!
Oh yeah, gay, because only gay men make music.
Still, the idea that the owner of those baby blues could be a mo, has me all in a tizzy. So, Jeremy, if you are a member of the homosexual persuasion, let me be the first to welcome you, and tell you that your gift basket and Homosexual Agenda booklet should be arriving soon. If, um, you are not gay, well, then.....................you can still call me.
Now, while you're here reading, take a look back at my PR7EP8 post from yesterday and look at who I find hot.
J's.
J-eremy.
'Nuff said.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has found the role of a lifetime!
Or, the role for a Lifetime Movie.
She's set to play a prostitute--big stretch--in new TV movie, and, of the film, she says, with a supposed straight face, "It's sort of like Erin Brockovich in a brothel."
What? The story of a hooker who takes down a serial polluter?
Poor JLH.
I think she needs a ghost whisperer to tell her that she is less TV's answer to Julia Roberts, and she's more TV's answer to Eric Roberts.


Oh, for the love of Judy, why?
A Wizard of Oz remake is in the works!
And not just one!
Apparently Warner Bros. Studios is looking to revamp the classic Judy Garland film for the new generation--not realizing that the original does nicely all by itself. There are allegedly two different scripts floating about. One has Dorothy playing a hooker in Oz; it's kind of like Erin Brockovich goes over the rainbow and I hear Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks she's perfect for it.
I kid. She's not perfect for it.
In fact, one script is in the hands of New Line Cinema, one of the producers behind Twilight, so think of Lions and Tigers and Werewolves, oh my! They are calling their version Oz and it takes place in a maximum security men's prison.
What? It's been done? HBO? Really? Someone should tell New Line.
But the second script is supposedly darker--darker than a men's prison?--and is being developed at Warner Bros. This one is about Dorothy's granddaughter, who plays an Erin Brockovich-type hooker in Oz trapped in a men's maximum security prison.
I kid.
Word to Hollywood: lay off the remakes. And don't fuck with Dorothy.

Demi Moore is the world's best mom.

No, really.
First, she spends kagillions on plastic surgery to make herself look younger and more beautiful than her own children, so they don't run off with her much younger husband. And now, she's teaching one daughter, Rumer, the fine art of pole dancing.
What happened to mother's passing down recipes and wedding dresses?
Apparently Demi gave Rumer the ass-over-tits during a party at the Chateau Marmont. She was spinning and spinning around the pole while a crowd of onlookers, including her man-child hubby, looked on, and worried that, should she continue to go so fast, Demi would become a puddle of butter.
Only in Hollywood.

From reality TV comes reality.
One of the Rhode Island police officers currently competing in The Amazing Race has been put on "desk duty" after being suspected of involvement in a police-run cocaine ring!
Call me crazy, but my guess is, then, that the cops don't win the race.
Louie Stravato is being investigated in what is being called a "large-scale" cocaine distribution operation, and three other officers have been arrested. Louie, to be fair, was not arrested, but he and four others have been assigned to desk duty.

More Weir fallout.
Johnny Weir was not invited to participate in the Stars on Ice U.S. National skating tour because tour producers feel that he is not, ahem, "family friendly;" code for homo. There have been loads of rumors that the tour producers and sponsors--one of whom is Smuckers--feel that Johnny is too gay.
For ice skating.
That's like saying women lumberjacks might be too lesbian for a log rolling competition.
Go HERE and sign the petition asking to "Let Johnny skate!"
Dammit!

Mickey Rourke, pig du jour, and walking STD, is bragging about the number of women he slept with, in one night.
"Forget Ashley Cole, his behaviour has nothing on a film star. WAGs [wives and girlfriends of soccer stars] get an easy time - they should try living with Hollywood hellraisers. I once spent a weekend in the UK and had 14 women in one night."
Fourteen women. It was like a petri dish of STDs in that room.
I need a bath, and a Karen Silkwood bleach scrub down.

The GAYmazing Race

I love The Amazing Race. I love it because you don't get voted off if of group of strangers doesn't like you, you get the boot because you came in last place. It's a race, y'all. And I like The Race because they always have gay racers, or gay couples, on, and they don't make a big deal about it; it's just a side note to the story. But it shows that we're out there and we're like everyone else.

So, imagine my surprise, my dismay, when I learned that this season they had four gay contestants. Four! But they only identified two of them as gay. Mel White and Mike White, father and son--though technically Mike is bisexual. I learned the young deaf boy, Luke, is also gay; and Kisha Hoffman is a lesbian.

Four gay racers and yet, only Mike and Mel were ever identified as such. Why is that?

Apparently, when Luke found out that Mel and Mike were to be identified as gay, he asked for the same. Luke is an out gay man who happens to be deaf; or he's a deaf man who happens to be an out gay man. But in an interview with AfterElton after he and his son were eliminated from the race, Mel White he talked about what he was told about Luke's desire to be identified as deaf and gay. According to Mel, after Luke “found out that Mike and I were being billed as gay, he wanted to be billed as gay,” but a producer said—and this is Mel paraphrasing a conversation he had with an unnamed producer—‘No, we’re establishing you as what we want you to be established. He’s established as deaf. You’re established as gay, so don’t be interrupting what we're trying to do here.’”
Mel adds that “they were very clear about not wanting to muddy the waters by bringing in another issue.”

Muddy the waters? Do the producers think the audience can't handle knowing that more than one contestant is gay; or do they think we'll tune out because there's a deaf, gay man on the show? I'd always thought of The Race as being progressive and open, but now it seems like they want to create labels for contestants, and damn them if the contestant wants to be known for something else.

In addition to Mel and Mike, and Luke, LaKisha “Kisha” Hoffman is also gay, but not identified as such on the program. She is "openly gay"according to CBS which airs The Amazing Race, and she is, by all accounts, the first openly gay woman of color on the show, and yet it is not mentioned, on the show, or in the press package delivered to the media about the show and its contestants.

What difference does it make, CBS, if you have more than one gay racer, or one gay couple racing? It isn't about the orientation of the racers, it's about their skill as racers, the way they race, that interests us. Don't hide the gay folks because you feel you've got enough for this season.

They're here, they're queer, and they're racing.
