They say it’s not over until the fat lady sings.  If there’s one thing Donatella Versace is not, it’s fat.  And yet, she’s announced that she’s stepping down as the creative director of Versace.  While she will remain with the company as an “ambassador”, she will be replaced by Dario Vitale, previously a designer with Miu Miu.

CBS recently debuted their new soap opera, Beyond the Gates.  While most viewers have complained about the bad writing, cheap sets, and ridiculous scenarios, it actually has something going for it – ratings from the first two weeks were up 78% from its predecessor, The Talk.  It actually tied in the ratings with General Hospital.

We have time for a brief Ask Billy.  Josh in Maine asks, “Is it true that John Whaite is doing gay porn?”

In case you don’t know (or can’t remember that far back), Whaite was a contestant (and eventual winner) of The Great British Bake Off in 2012 while he was a law student.  Back then, he was allegedly working for a “top law firm” (I’ll be the judge of that).  He eventually gave it all up to become a full-time chef – which included a number of TV gigs.  In 2021, he was on Strictly Come Dancing with a male pro Johannes Radebe – the first time the show featured a same-sex couple in competition.  Alas, he fell in love with Radebe, which caused a schism with Whaite’s long-term partner, Paul Atkins.  He also revealed that during that time, he had several “drunken fondles and experiments with various soap stars and celebrities”.  Nonetheless, John and Paul got married last year in NYC after being together for over 15 years.  They started a gourmet brownie company called Ruff Puff, while Whaite also started his OnlyFans page, with a promise to deliver “the side of me you haven’t seen…yet.”  He plans to include lots of content – “from solo play to collabs, it’s all here.”  In explaining his two ventures, he said, “One sells brownies and cookies while the other is a meatier enterprise.”  You can preview some of his wares on BillyMasters.com.

When baking helps develop great arms, it’s definitely time for me to head into the kitchen and end yet another column.  I can see it now – Whisking to the Oldies.  Oh, Richard Simmons would be so proud.  However, I’m simply too overbooked to start a new venture at the moment.  First things first – finding a vacation spot where I’m not too old, too poor, but the men are too hot to care.  I’m sure I’ll run some ideas by you on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that’s clothing optional.  Should you want to take that option with moi, send some photographic evidence to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before my loaf rises.  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
