“I’m very proud to call him a friend.
I’m also proud to call him a colleague.
When I grow up, I want to be Noah Wyle”
– George Clooney extols the virtues of Wyle at
the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards.

I was recently invited on a holiday to Ibiza – a place I’ve never been. A friend asked, “Don’t you think you’re a bit too old for Ibiza?” What am I? A hundred? But I started feeling self-conscious and declined. Imagine my surprise when I heard that esteemed chef Mary Berry revealed that she had recently been to Ibiza. Not only Ibiza, but she went to Pacha – the exclusive club where all sorts of debauchery takes place. Dame Mary clocks in at 90 years old – smack-dab between me and Dame Joan Collins! It should be noted that Berry went to Pacha well before midnight. Nobody told her it doesn’t get going till about 3AM!

Speaking of Dame Joan, she has not one but TWO films coming out (I say that as if they’ll play in cinemas). Of course, we all know her latest bid for cinematic immortality is playing the Duchess of Windsor in The Bitter End opposite Isabella Rossellini as her conniving lawyer. We also have an Agatha Christie-esque whodunit entitled A Murder Between Friends directed by former soap stud, Jacob Young. It also features another daytime vet, Nadia Bjorlin. Fun fact – when I first met Nadia at a Hollywood event, I mistook her for a car-show model! An understandable mistake. The flick drops this week on Apple TV, Vudu, Fandango, and pretty much anywhere you can watch Video on Demand fare. You can check out the trailer on our website.

The Golden Globes kicked off awards season. Nikki Glazer was back to host, and didn’t she look fabulous? Especially that dress where she had the goods in the window – and the window was wide open! Of course, she did a great job, but may I give one bit of unsolicited advice? You can’t love everyone SO much. And do you really think Sean Penn is turning into a sexy leather handbag? I personally don’t find him all that sexy. I do have a tiny suggestion to whoever is hiring people for this show – dump the guy escorting winners off the stage. Yes, they need to be guided, but it can be done less aggressively. It looked like he yanked poor Teyana Taylor’s arm right out of its socket. Speaking of Teyana, I too enjoy a party in the back. And like Jean Smart, I’m a greedy bitch.

Mickey Rourke doesn’t work often these days, which probably contributed to his financial troubles. In December, he was evicted by his landlord for not paying back rent in the neighborhood of $60K. Allegedly, his landlord raised the monthly rent from $5,200 to $7,000. Since his eviction, he’s been staying at a hotel in West Hollywood with rates of $550/night – so much for downsizing. Enter Kimberly Hines, Rourke’s manager for the past decade. She had her assistant set up a GoFundMe campaign to try and raise $100K to help get Mickey on his feet. While she says she ran it by Rourke, he was outraged. “I wouldn’t ask for no fucking charity. I’d rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger. So whoever did this, I don’t know if they did it – why they did it. I don’t understand.”

He won’t even be able to do that. Someone from Mickey’s team called the LA Sheriff’s Department saying Rourke wanted to turn in a firearm. He had a shotgun which was legally registered. He told the cop he’d be leaving the area and no longer wanted it. The Sheriff took possession of the firearm. Rourke has a year to claim it, or it will be destroyed. And speaking of destroying, as Mickey’s GoFundMe campaign hit $92K, it was “paused”. It’s not all bad news. Someone offered him $1K to appear in a low-budget flick. Take it – it will cover two nights in the hotel!

It should also be mentioned that this was not Rourke’s first eviction of the year. In April of 2025, he was dramatically thrown out of the Celebrity Big Brother house after producers felt he used “unacceptable language and behavior” toward fellow housemate, JoJo Siwa. Isn’t that why he was cast in the first place?

Kevin Spacey is also homeless. After years of trying to hold on to his Baltimore abode (which he bought when he was gainfully employed in the area), he lost it in a foreclosure auction due to the financial strain of the combined lack of work and legal fees. But that Kevin – he’s a glass-half-full kinda guy. He’s looking at his lack of roots as an opportunity. “I’m living in hotels. I’m living in AirBnBs, I’m going where the work is.” And as exciting as that all sounds, may I ask one little question? What work?? Well, occasionally he works as a lounge singer in Cyprus – which was one of my other potential vacation destinations. Maybe it’s a destination I should reconsider.

I’m not sure if he qualifies as homeless, but Eric McCormack’s long-gestating divorce has been finalized. He and Janet Leigh Holden met in 1994, married in 1997, and filed for divorce in 2023. That sounds like a success story to me. The delay was in finalizing the financial settlement. Assets were cut down the middle, Janet will receive half of the income Eric makes from any jobs he had during their marriage (which includes half the residuals to Will and Grace), and she’ll also get spousal support of $10K per month which cannot be modified for 10 years. Should you be interested, Janet is the one who filed for divorce, citing that old chestnut “irreconcilable differences”. Hmm.

One relationship ends; another begins. General Hospital star Adrian Anchondo revealed over the holidays that he is dating Colton Little, who has a recurring role on Days of Our Lives. The couple spent the holidays in Florida and Puerto Rico and showed off healthy tans and a good amount of skin, which you can see on BillyMasters.com.

After some flirty banter with host Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Matt Rogers felt compelled to address the situation on his podcast, Las Culturistas. “By the way, just to make this explicitly clear, I have never had sex with Andy Cohen. I will never have sex with Andy Cohen. At one point, I kind of wanted to in the very, very beginning. But if we were going to have fucked, it would have happened by now…probably many times.” I’m sorry, I blacked out after he said, “I kind of wanted to…”

By the by, Rogers and his podcast co-host Bowen Yang stepped in it with thoughts about donating to Jasmine Crockett’s campaign. However, Matt walked back his comments after they went viral, and apologized. “I hear the response and I am taking every bit of it to heart, I promise. Transparency and candor matter to me, especially on the podcast. I’m a very progressive person who cares deeply about winning these elections, but my phrasing was not right. I will be more thoughtful! I really do promise. I have great respect and admiration for Rep. Crockett, and I regret that my words suggested otherwise. I just want us to win and I will be better at finding ways to help.”

This week’s Ask Billy question comes from Walter in Chicago. “Did you see Marty Supreme? Was that really Timothée Chalamet’s ass?”

I would think a reader of this column is quite knowledgeable about Timothée’s assets. But for those who haven’t seen the film, let me explain that Timmy’s character is getting spanked with a ping pong paddle. The one with the paddle is Shark Tank regular Kevin O’Leary (I believe he does the same thing to Barbara Corcoran). Kevin was given a fake paddle and he walked onto the set to find a stranger standing in as Chalamet’s “ass double”. When Timmy found out there was a double, he hit the roof and got himself onto the set pronto. “He didn’t want any other ass immortalized,” says O’Leary. On the first take, the fake paddle broke. So they had to use a real one. I’m told it required 40 takes, and Timothée never once complained. In fact, it kinda looked like he enjoyed it. Decide for yourself by checking out the clip on BillyMasters.com.

When Timothée’s getting into same-sex paddling, we’ve definitely come to the end of yet another column. I may have canceled plans for that trip to Ibiza, but next month I’m going someplace hotter – the Canary Islands. Hotter as in about 20 degrees, which is a good place to start. Where I end up is anyone’s guess. Regardless of your locale, you’ll always find the hottest gossip on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that gives you something to spank about. If you have a question, send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before we find out what Latifah was hiding under that cape! Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
