A bunch of “luminaries” (for lack of a better word) will find themselves in the unemployment line.  NBCUniversal is leaving the first-run syndication business, which means the end of Access Hollywood, Access Live, Karamo and The Steve Wilkos Show – a show I never ever heard of.  Curious that after Karamo skipped promoting the final season of Queer Eye, he ended up out of work just like the rest of the guys.

Well, not exactly.  Antoni Porowski is showing off his new gig as model for SAXX Underwear – once again, something I’ve never even heard of.  Nonetheless, he looks quite fetching in his scanties – or, more to the point, they look good on him.  The variety of wrapping of his package is quite appealing, as seen on BillyMasters.com.

Carson Kressley was recently a guest on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle.  They asked him for his take on the turmoil surrounding the outgoing Queer Eye cast.  Aside from calling the experience of making that series “very intense”, he added this: “I don’t know the circumstances.  There is such a great cast.  It’s a great show.  And I think the quality of the show and the great work they do transcends any little drama that might have happened.”  Then he dropped a little bombshell of his own.  When the original Devil Wears Prada movie was being cast, he claims to have been asked audition for a role.  But, when push came to shove, they went in a different direction.  “They said, ‘Oh God, you’re great, we love you, but we can’t have somebody who’s never been in a movie in the scene with Meryl Streep.  That might be too big of a gamble.’  So I didn’t get it…Damn you, Stanley Tucci!  Thanks for ruining my career.”  And you wonder why we’re still talking about Carson Kressley 25 years later?

Before we leave Queer Eye behind (for now), former Fab-Fiver Bobby Berk weighed in on the controversy.  “It’s sad that clearly stuff was going on, but yeah, I decided to leave at a time that was right for me.  And, of course, I’m sad that there was any drama surrounding the show because the show, I think, has such a great legacy of helping people.”  It should be noted that Berk is hosting HGTV’s Junk or Jackpot?, which makes him the only Queer still on the air.
