“I’m not looking for love outside my relationship. We’re not
polyamorous and so the sex I’m having outside of
my relationship is all recreational at this point.”
– Joel Kim Booster discusses how his marriage with John Michael
Sudsina works. I’m somewhat concerned about the phrase
“at this point”. Because at some future point…who knows?
It was only a column or two ago when I shared these profound words: “You reap what you sow”. It sounds almost Biblical, but don’t quote me. That phrase sprang to mind when reading about the travails of Miss Caitlyn Jenner. You see, Jenner is a devotee of El Presidente. One could almost say she’s got a hard-on for him, but I might not be that one. I would however say that she sounds like a jilted ex. The former Bruce Jenner (I know, I know) got a rude awakening when it came time to renew her passport. “I sent it back, comes back gender marker ‘M’”. Frankly, what did Jenner expect? That these were empty threats? Still, she forgives even that. “I don’t blame President Trump. I love him, but for a lot of people, this is a huge issue.” She’d put herself in that category, since she says, “I can’t travel internationally anymore.” I’d suspect she actually can – those facial scanners don’t care what’s under your skirt. “I don’t know what’s gonna happen, because I don’t think this was really thought out.” Perhaps you should have thought about that before you voted. You reap…
We’ve previously told you that the casting of Dylan Mulvaney as Anne Boleyn in the Broadway musical Six caused a flurry of hate mail from people who took issue with a trans woman playing a former Queen of England. Personally, I think royalists must have bigger fish to fry. On the red carpet for the opening night of CATS: The Jellicle Ball, she was asked what she loves most about being on Broadway. “Honestly, I think the other dolls on Broadway. It’s a community. We need more dolls on Broadway. Let’s get them there.” A fitting answer since one of the “dolls” (a term for trans women) is starring in Jellicle. Tempress Chasity Moore stars as Grizabella.
Not all cis women are doing females many favors. Actress Ruby Rose went public with the following: “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly.” Let me interrupt to say I’m not a big fan of revelations that come out a couple of decades later – especially from someone who has been in the public eye for at least one of them. Let me continue Ruby’s scintillating prose: “She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.” She sure knows how to paint a picture! She adds that Katy is “welcome to sue me (she won’t, because it happened, I have photos and it was literally in public and witnessed by multiple people).” She reveals that at some point, Katy “agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret.” Dare I say…tit for tat?
Perry’s reps released the following statement: “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies. Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.” Ruby, we’re happy to print those photos – send ‘em along.
Some girl-on-girl action happened on The Drew Barrymore Show. Drew went to adjust guest Tori Spelling’s mike pack, which was tucked in the back of her trousers. “Is it weird that I just start immediately sticking my hand down your pants?” Tori responded, “Not really – I was hoping you’d touch me.” Drew continued, “Too much too soon? Good, because I’ve known you forever.” Tori shrugged and said, “We’re gonna kiss next.” Drew said, “Listen, I’m single.” Tori said, “So am I.” And then they kissed. Then they both extolled the virtues of Matt Bomer and how they’d like to kiss him (Drew already has). I think we’ve figured out why they’re both single.
I’m old enough to remember when ladies lost their shit about Thelma & Louise. Personally, I was all about Brad Pitt, but I’m shallow that way. A musical version of the film will have its world premiere in London’s West End. Callie Khouri, who wrote the script for the film, is writing the book for the musical. The show debuts at the Young Vic on September 3rd.
There was a kinda Thelma & Louise reunion at Coachella this year. During Sabrina Carpenter’s first weekend, she had Susan Sarandon play an older version of her by reciting a lengthy monologue. The following weekend, Geena Davis took on the role (with a significantly shorter version of the same monologue). Carpenter also featured another older woman during the show. But I’m giving Madonna the week off.
Alan Ritchson may be known to people as the hot lead in Reacher, or from his time on Blue Mountain State. But I remember him from American Idol in 2004 when he flirted with Miss Paula Abdul. His success on the show was short-lived when he got cut during Hollywood Week after partying all night in the pool and blew his audition the next day (I suspect that wasn’t the only blowing going on). He’s returning to his reality roots and just signed a deal to host an untitled show for Netflix where he will lead a group of other “names” to survive in the outdoors without any modern conveniences or comforts. They don’t have to be afraid, but I’m all for them being naked.
A couple of years ago, Ritchson did a very long and rambling interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Here is one of the anecdotes he shared: “I was booked for a shoot for this very famous photographer. I was sent into a hotel room to do nudes with the promise that if I did the shoot, he would offer me a very lucrative campaign for a magazine and a clothing line. I was sexually assaulted by this guy.” He doesn’t mention any names, but it is worth noting that he did model for Abercrombie & Fitch and was shot by Bruce Weber.
It’s been 40 years since The Normal Heart debuted at The Public Theater (actually, it was 41 years ago). So the Public is staging a one-night-only benefit reading of the play – a play that has had more one-night-only benefit readings than any play I can think of. For this performance, they’ve secured the services of Billy Eichner as Ned Weeks, Michael Urie playing Felix Turner, and Ben Stiller as Ben Weeks. The reading will take place on April 27th. Tickets are still available at PublicTheater.org.
We’re at that time of the year when events for Provincetown start to be announced. Since I like to space this stuff out, let’s start with Town Hall. On August 9th, Joy Behar will make her Ptown debut in a special evening hosted by Judy Gold (which tells me it will primarily be an interview). Produced by Mark Cortale, this will benefit Sandy Hook Promise. Some of Cortale’s other events at Town Hall include Audra McDonald and Seth Rudetsky (May 24th), Megan Hilty (July 5th), and Cheyenne Jackson (August 2nd). Naturally, the indefatigable Marilyn Maye returns for her 15th consecutive year on August 30th. Grab your tix at PtownTownHall.com.
We have time for a brief Ask Billy question. Victor in Fort Lauderdale asked, “Who was Coleman Domingo thanking at the end of Saturday Night Live? It was cut off down here.”
It was cut off everywhere because it’s a network show and someone didn’t tell him they were off the air. Here’s his full closing: “Tonight is for all the little boys in inner cities. All the little girls in small corners of Brazil. Tonight is for the dreamers. Tonight is for the people who bring light into the world, especially Lorne Michaels and this beautiful cast. Thank you to the band. Thank you to everyone who came to come together in a dark room and just laugh when we need more laughter in the world. This has been an epic night and we want to send you away with a big ole kiss and love and to love on each other. Thank you so much to every single one of you. Good night.” You can see the full video on BillyMasters.com.
When we’re wrapping up with someone else’s closing, it’s time to end yet another column. Last week, I saw my pal Sherri Shepherd at Boston’s Wilbur Theater. The show, Make It Make Sense, is great and the capacity crowd loved her. At the end of the show, Sherri thanked two people from the stage – her opening act and her good friend Billy Masters! You can check me out each and every week on BillyMasters.com – the site that can make sense of anything. If you have a question, send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Caitlyn gets that new passport! So, until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
