“I’m Norwegian.  We give a Nobel Prize to somebody who
deserves it.  And suddenly that Nobel Prize is going to
somebody else…That’s why I’m happy specifically now that
we have laws that say that if you misuse the Nobel Prize,
we take it away from you.  Somebody in power in the United
States may be disappointed.  He will lose it…I am happy.” 
– Liv Ullmann during her acceptance speech for Lifetime Achievement at
the European Film Awards.  Great – now we’re gonna invade Norway, too!

You may recognize model Christian Hogue as the face (and body) of Davidoff Cool Water. But he sure wasn’t showing model behavior back in August at a Nashville dog park.  According to witnesses, he grabbed a guy from behind – something that has happened to me in parks on numerous occasions.  Hogue claims he retaliated after the other guy punched his dog.  However, that guy says he simply grabbed Hogue’s dog by the collar to stop it from attacking his dog.  While no witnesses confirm either scenario, they all saw Hogue put the other guy in a headlock.  The “victim” claims that Christian restricted his breathing – which I believe is the whole point of a headlock.  But it’s the model’s mugshot causing a stir.  Know your angles, I always say.  He’s due back in court this week.

By the by, Christian was arrested again just days before Christmas.  Why?  He was driving while using his cell phone.  Hasn’t he ever heard of bluetooth?  As Judge Judy would say, this guy sounds like a real winner!

Speaking of hot guys, Gus Kenworthy is hoping to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.  Since we in the gay community always talk about him, we forget that he’s an underdog on the world stage.  After an acceptable showing at the US Grand Prix in Aspen (he finished 8^th), he is in contention to compete for Team Great Britain.  Because of dual citizenship, he has also competed for the US and won a silver medal in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.  In addition to straddling two countries, here’s something else you may not know – his legal name is Augustus!
