You think you’ll never mention someone ever again, and then a story about Richard Hatch pops up.  The winner of the first Survivor was speaking to Tim Murphy on The Caftan Chronicles (I won’t say it), and discussed his 34-year-old boyfriend – and, for those of you interested, Hatch is 64.  You’d think the fact that his boyfriend never saw Survivor would be the lead, but no.  “He’s 100% versatile, so he’s constantly wanting me to fuck him, but I’m a bottom.  Yeah, a totally bottom.  He teases me about that.”  Far be it from me to add to that.

I wish I could tell you I’ve ever seen Finding Mr. Christmas.  I know what it is, having a best friend who is a Hallmark aficionado, but I simply never felt inclined to tune in.  However, I’m told that Robbie Simpson was a contestant on season 2 (some call him a breakout star).  He’s engaged.  Again, not the lead.  Where did they meet?  In line to get tickets for Broadway Bares in June of 2023!  His fiancé, Kyle Pollak, explained, “Saying yes to marrying him was the easiest decision I have ever made.  I asked Robbie to be my boyfriend, so it was his turn to pop this next question.”  Robbie proposed in Australia overlooking Sydney Harbour and somehow People magazine was there to cover the blessed event.  Funny how that happens.

In other romantic news, Chaz Bono married his childhood sweetheart – a statement that I cannot even begin to unpack.  The then-Chastity met Shara Blue Mathes when they were teenagers studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute.  They reconnected in 2017 and began their romance.  “I think it’s safe to say that not many grooms ultimately end up marrying the very first girl they ever kissed so many years later.”  Most grooms can’t say a whole lotta things this couple can.  And, despite what other less reputable scribes predicted, Chaz’s mother Cher did indeed attend the ceremony – sporting a big diamond ring on her so-called “ring finger”.  And, being Cher, she just happened to photobomb the couple as they cut the cake, the video of which can be found on BillyMasters.com.

Our Ask Billy question comes from Kip in Chicago: “I’ve heard for several years that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are trying to resurrect All My Children.  Any update?”

You are correct – the daytime duo has been trying to get a network deal to bring the show back, with no luck.  But, they’ve pivoted.  As Ripa revealed on her podcast, “Mark and I and our production company, we are developing two All My Children movies for Lifetime.  Woo.  We are so excited.”  While I’m always leery of any venture that attempts to come back in a different format, this sounds like it could work – especially since they’re courting the services of Susan Lucci.  “Well, certainly with Mark and Kelly producing, I know that I would be in good hands, and being in good hands is central to my answer to this question, because the writing is so important…And of course, if everything was in place, if they were really going to do this, I would certainly want to be part of it.”  So that sounds like a tentative “Maybe”.  And I think we all know, if Lucci says no, the films won’t get made.

When Richard Hatch being a bottom is news, it’s definitely time to end yet another column.  I was just thinking – Chaz’s wife’s name is Shara Blue Mathes.  Chaz’s brother’s name is Elijah Blue Allman.  Interesting, n’est ce pas?  For more insights like this, check out BillyMasters.com – the site that’ll never make you blue.  For your gossip needs, dash off a note to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Barbra replaces Maya in Oh, Mary!  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
