Reception to the new version of West Side Story has been a mixed bag.  Yes, it’s gotten good reviews, but it brought in only $10 million its opening weekend.  To put that into perspective, Spider-Man made $120 million its first day!  However, WSS is beautifully shot, well-acted, and faithful to the original musical.  You know I can’t bear bad lip synching.  I’m happy to report it’s not an issue here (with the exception of Ansel Elgort in the Cloisters scene – straight tones would never come out of a jaw moving that much).  While one misses the work of Jerome Robbins, the new choreography by Justin Peck of the New York City Ballet is quite marvelous in its own right.

Mike Faist is a standout as Riff (I knew he’d be a star when I saw him in Dear Evan Hansen).  However, every time the Jets walked down the street, it looked like an outtake from The Outsiders – I even referred to one character as Pony Boy!  And if I didn’t know about the controversy, I wouldn’t have even noticed the alleged “transgender” character.  As always, Rita Moreno was a delight.  My only caveat is that she was directed to be strangely subdued for the last 15 minutes.  Speaking of which, has there ever been a less fiery Anita than Ariana DeBose?  For me, the fatal flaw in the film is the lack of subtitles whenever characters spoke Spanish.  I understand Spielberg’s argument – if you subtitle the Spanish, you are marginalizing those characters.  But I do wonder if the English will be subtitled when this film is shown in a Spanish-speaking country.  I’m also wondering if anyone has ever seen a Romeo and Juliet where they lapse into Italian.  After all, that entire story takes place in Verona.  Food for thought.  Is this film worth seeing?  Yes, if you can manage 2 hours and 45 minutes – which I think is too long for any film.  Should you wait to see it at home?  Actually, I really think it should be seen on a big screen.  Is it a classic?  The jury’s out.

Most actors love the opportunity to embody different characters.  Some actually physically transform themselves to play certain roles – Ed Norton, Meryl Streep, Christian Bale, Charlize Theron, and even Renée Zellweger (admittedly, she likely had some help from a doctor’s scapel).  Nowadays, it seems the line between actor and character is less defined.  Does anyone have a doubt that Miranda on And Just Like That… is going to dabble in lesbianism?  Does every character Cynthia Nixon plays from now on have to be interested in women?  Perhaps all the years that gays fought to be accepted playing straight roles were for naught.

This leads to our brief Ask Billy question.  Jordan in Chicago says, “Did you see the photos of Luke Evans from Miami last week?  He looks sexier than ever.  Who was the hot guy with him?”

I saw, I came, I replied – in that order.  The photos of Luke in a sleek and skimpy Speedo were enough to heat up my nether regions.  As to the other guy, I doubt he’s anyone of significance.  Most romantic partners would kiss Luke on both cheeks.  If he kissed all four, I’d think otherwise.  Until I get further photographic evidence, you can check out every inch of Luke on BillyMasters.com.

Anything can happen on a live program.  Last week, Billy Masters LIVE faced numerous challenges as we began chatting with famed designer Bob Mackie.  When the computer froze, we frantically posted “Stand By – Technical Difficulties”, as a back-up computer was swapped in.  The show may have lacked technical finesse, but the marvelous Mackie delivered delicious dish about people like Mitzi, Cher, Bette, Carol, Babs, Whoopi, Oprah, and Ross!  Frank Vlastnik, author of the book, The Art of Bob Mackie, contributed to what turned out to be a great show.  Check it out at BillyMasters.com/TV or YouTube.com/BillyMastersTV.

On this week’s show, we start with author Jim Colucci, who collaborated with the legendary Norman Lear for All in the Family: The Show that Changed Television.  This is a gorgeously illustrated and painstakingly researched book that would make a great gift for any TV lover.  We finish up with singer and actor, Rex Smith.  You can tune in live on Thursday, December 16^th at 3PM Eastern / Noon Pacific – or anytime thereafter.

Colton Haynes is writing his memoirs, which are scheduled to be released on May 31, 2022.  The title is Miss Memory Lane.  “In case ur wondering about the title…it’s something friends have called me for years.  It’s painfully accurate lol.  I’ve always been addicted to nostalgia, maybe because it lets me retreat into my memories so I can avoid living in the now,” says Colton.  He doesn’t need a publisher – he needs a good therapist!  He shares some of his more colorful exploits on Vulture.  He worked as a go-go boy when he was 14.  When his first manager dropped him as a client, he suggested Colton contact Rentboy.com.  He also worked as a phone sex operator where he indulged in “farm play”.  To find out why he was called “piglet”, check out the piece.

I think Haynes would make an ideal cast member in the next Magic Mike film.  We hear the producers are looking for some new “talent”.  Given what the last flick did for Bomer, Manganiello, Strahan and Rodriguez, it might not be a bad move.  And something tells me Colton could show Mike a thing or two.

The jury found Jussie Smollett guilty of five out of six charges.  Surprise, surprise.  But the dish is in the details.  During his time on the stand, Jussie threw numerous people under the bus.  He claims Empire creator Lee Daniels “fat shamed” him  – which is why Jussie hired Abel Osundairo to become his “trainer”.  Smollett says that the relationship with Abel was not romantic, but admits they got high (cocaine and pot), went to a bathhouse, made out, and “masturbated together”.  I don’t believe that’s all that happened.  If that hot Nigerian trainer was high, naked and aroused, I believe Jussie would have been on that…literally!

Smollett also claims Don Lemon kept him in the loop regarding the police investigation of the so-called “hate crime”.  If true, many believe Lemon should face the same punishment Chris Cuomo did for feeding his brother information.   Speaking of loops, we saw the “noose” which was around Jussie’s neck – correction, which he allegedly took off from around his neck, and then put back on when the police arrived.  I’m sure there are different kinds of nooses.  This appeared to be twine you’d use to fly a kite…or what a bakery would use to wrap up your cupcakes.  Smollett won’t be sentenced until next month, but the presumption is he’ll skirt jail time and face a hefty fine and community service.  He still has to deal with the civil suit – the City of Chicago wants to be reimbursed for the cost of the investigation.

This week’s Ask Billy question also deals with hot men taking off their clothes.  Larry in San Diego sent me a video and wrote: “I just found this footage from Naked Boys Singing in Las Vegas – the guys are SO hot.  I heard they were extending for a while.  Do you know how long?  After seeing this video, I want to make sure I see them.”

Color me SHOCKED.  You all know I went to see Naked Boys Singing in Las Vegas.  I also hosted the boys on Billy Masters LIVE – and we even filmed a clothed version of their opening number.  But the footage Larry sent me is of them performing FULLY NUDE!  To answer his question, yes, the show has extended through March 6^th and you can grab tickets at NakedBoysSingingVegas.com.  And, if you wanna see this newly unearthed exclusive footage, you can check out BillyMasters.com.

When we’ve got actual NAKED boys singing…and extending, it’s time to end yet another column.  If this kinda footage interests you, check out www.BillyMasters.com – the site where lots of sons come out.  If you have a question (or a video you’d like to share), drop a note to Billy@BillyMasters.com, and I promise to get back to you before we come up with footage of Jussie’s “friends” (it’s just a matter of time).  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.

We had a fabulous time last week on Billy Masters LIVE with the marvelous Marilyn Maye.  We caught up with her in between shows at The Wick Theatre in Boca Raton, where she is appearing until December 19^th (you can get tickets at TheWick.org).  This week, we welcome the legendary Bob Mackie to talk about a gorgeous new coffee table book called The Art of Bob Mackie, written by Frank Vlastnik and Laura Ross.  Vlastnik will also join us, so tune in on on Thursday, December 9^th at 3PM Eastern / Noon Pacific.  You can watch live (or anytime afterwards) at BillyMasters.com/TV or YouTube.com/BillyMastersTV.

Obviously our first Billy’s Holiday Gift Giving Suggestion is The Art of Bob Mackie.  This luxurious book would make a perfect gift for anyone on your list.  And, let me point something out – last week we recommended a knit kit from Tom Daley.  Shortly after we linked to his Winter Warmer Hat, the item sold out.  Coincidence?

Week one of the Jussie Smollett trial has revealed some juicy tidbits.  As expected, the Nigerian bodybuilding brothers were the most damaging witnesses.  They claim that Smollett came up with the plan – a plan they went along with to help out their “friend” (they also hoped he’d open some acting doors for them).  They claim Smollett wanted to be doused with gasoline, which they didn’t think was safe.  So they switched to bleach without his consent.  Jussie’s lawyer put their testimony in question by alleging that the brothers asked Jussie for $1 million each not to testify – an allegation the bodybuilders denied.  However, there was no getting around the fact that one of the brothers (Abimbola) accompanied Jussie to a gay bathhouse!  Abi claims he didn’t know it was gay – because there are so many straight bathhouses!  Smollett’s lawyer said, “You didn’t see the big rainbow flag?”  Olabinjo (the other brother) worked in gay bars in Boystown, and the two of them had marched in a Gay Pride parade dressed as the Trojan warrior and handed out condoms!  Their testimony was so damning, experts believe Jussie will have no choice but to testify next week.

In a review of NBC’s Annie Live!, I read a term I’d never seen before – “Annies of color”.  Kinda like “Santas of color” – which also makes me cringe.  This review mentioned that the last two versions of Annie featured a black girl in the title role.  And I’m all for anyone wanting to play Annie – it’s one of my least favorite musicals, so what do I care?  But I have a question – if it’s OK to cast someone who doesn’t look like the iconic Annie from the comic strip, why, oh why, must Daddy Warbucks have a bald head?  Someone must have realized that Harry Connick Jr. looked like he stumbled out of an SNL skit!  And here’s another thing – if people feel Othello must be played by a black man, and Madama Butterfly must be played by an Asian woman, why doesn’t anyone feel that Annie must be played by a Caucasian girl?

When Tom Daley picked up knitting, I thought he might start a trend.  Since I’ve yet to see a gaggle of gorgeous gays knitting, I guess it hasn’t caught on.  But Tom’s taking matters into his own hands – an image I’m sure you’ve all seen on BillyMasters.com.  Made With Love by Tom Daley sells you kits for you to knit your own wares – if you have the time, talent, and tendency to partake in such a DIY project.  One of his most popular items is the Winter Warmer Hat Kit.  It includes your choice of yarn color, a manual, a pattern, and some optional knitting needles for upwards of $50.  While I’d surely opt to buy my own finished hat, Tom’s kit does come with the promise of 12 inches and 2 balls.  I’ve done far more for a whole lot less, so grab yours at ByTomDaley.com.

When an Olympic diver is delivering two balls, it’s definitely time to end yet another column.  Sounds like a gift that keeps on giving to me!  You can get more than a foot of fun at www.BillyMasters.com – the site that is celebrating Cyber Monday with a special sale all week long.  If you’re in need of some ho, ho, ho, drop a note to Billy@BillyMasters.com, and I promise to get back to you before the next Sondheim revival I see comes with a choice of chicken or fish.  So, until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.

Will Smith has been considering putting together a one-man show of his own, but hasn’t been able to find the perfect collaborator.  Then he got booked on The Graham Norton Show with Lin-Manuel Miranda.  On the air, he said, “This is probably a terrible thing to ask at this time, but I want to do a one-man show and I would love you to help me do it.  I have had it in my mind for years and I think you are the one of one in this business.”  Miranda, who was appearing via remote, simply said, “You heard it here first!”  And perhaps you’ve heard it here last.

Shortly after the Graham Norton show, one publication contacted two plastic surgeons to have them weigh in on what facial work Will Smith has had done (I have a dear friend who does the same thing regularly – sans medical degree).  Dr. Michael K. Obeng says “Will definitely looks a lot smoother”, which he attributes to either “a series of micro-needling”, a “CO2 laser”, or a “fat transfer to the face”.  I’d have guessed good lighting and special filters.  Dr. Obaid Chaudhry says, “Will Smith has a much fuller face”, which can be achieved “with fillers or fat transfers.”  Really?  My face looks fuller.  You wanna know my secret?  A pandemic and pounds of peppermint bark!

Many C-List celebrities go on reality competition shows to remind people that they still have relevancy.  Of course, if they had actual relevancy, they wouldn’t need to remind us.  Be that as it may, Caitlyn Jenner is currently on Big Brother VIP Australia.  One evening, she regaled her housemates by recounting a fracas with Ellen DeGeneres.  This dates back to her coming out in 2015.  Cait was on Ellen’s daytime talk show and was asked about same-sex marriage – something Bruce had been against.  Caitlyn said, “I remember when the whole gay marriage issue came up – about 15 years ago – I kind of like tradition, and it’s always been a man and a woman, and I’m thinking ‘I don’t quite get it.’”  Cait continued, “But, as time has gone on, I think like a lot of people on this issue have really changed my thinking here to I don’t ever want to stand in front of anybody’s happiness… that’s not my job.  If that word marriage is really really that important to you, I can go with it.”  Ellen said it didn’t sound like Jenner was “on board with it”, which started a war of words in subsequent interviews.  Caitlyn says she considered asking everyone in her family to boycott going on DeGeneres’ show – as if a Jenner–Kardashian would turn down publicity.  She says she decided to just get over it – which is clearly not the case since she’s still talking about it.

“The obvious one would be A Little Night Music.  I know I could do that
role very well now that I’ve gotten to this stage in my life,
and you know it’s a beautiful song in there.  It’s perfection.”  
– Sarah Brightman reveals what might tempt her to return to the musical stage. 
Yes, the former Mrs. Andrew Lloyd Webber longs to do a show by Stephen Sondheim.

I first met Stephen Sondheim at a crowded event in NYC.  I knew it was going to be one of those brief encounters – we’d be introduced, he’d say hi and keep walking.  But that also meant I’d have 10 seconds to make an impression.  He said it was nice to meet me.  I said, “I just saw Dorothy Lamour in Side by Side by Sondheim.”  That stopped him dead in his tracks.  He looked intrigued.  “Really?  Where?”  “A dinner theatre in Anaheim.”  He smiled.  “How was it?”  I had the perfect retort: “How do you think?”  Sondheim let out a guffaw.  He still walked away, but I got a laugh – and getting a laugh out of Stephen Sondheim was good enough for me.  Rest in peace.

Our Ask Billy question comes from Tom in Orlando: “I just saw some very sexy nude photos of actor Chris Salvatore online.  Didn’t I read about him in your column?  Where would I know him from?”

You may have seen him in the Eating Out flicks.  Or, if you’re in Nevada, you may have seen every inch of him in the Las Vegas production of Naked Boys Singing (we have footage from the show on our website).  These latest shots come from a revealing B&W pictorial that highlights various portions of Salvatore’s anatomy.  While you can see a plethora of Chris’ wares on his OnlyFans page, we’ll show you the meat and potatoes on BillyMasters.com.

When we’re sharing Salvatore’s cornucopia, it’s definitely time to end yet another column.  But before we wrap up our Thanksgiving leftovers, I want to give thanks to the people behind the scenes – our webmaster, editors, and legal counsel, to say nothing of my personal fluffers who ensure that each and every column is bursting with content.  You can find the fruits of our labor on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that has more fruit than a pitcher of sangria!  Should you have a question, send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com, and I promise to get back to you before Matt Gaetz takes credit for helping Kyle get off!  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.

Gay will be everywhere throughout the holiday season.  Netflix’s first gay holiday flick is Single All the Way, which will star Michael Urie, Luke Macfarlane (also in the aforementioned Bros), Kathy Najimy and Jennifer Coolidge.  It debuts on December 2^nd.

Should you be more interested in donning some gay apparel, The Bitch Who Stole Christmas features the largest group of RuPaul’s Drag Race alums to ever be assembled.  In addition to Ru (who is obviously the star), this flick includes Kimora Blac, Pandora Boxx, Heidi N. Closet, Laganja Estranja, Gottmik, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Jan, Kylie Sonique Love, Manila Luzon, Ginger Minj, Jaymes Mansfield, Kelly Mantle, Morgan McMichaels, Chad Michaels, Mayhem Miller, Peppermint, Porkchop, Raven, Latrice Royale, and Rock M. Sakura.  In addition to the girls, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Michelle Visage will also appear…alongside Charo!!!  Look for VH1 to drop this inevitable holiday classic on December 2^nd.

Some stories linger in the ether like a noxious fumes.  Take Jussie Smollett.  You’ll recall that after it was alleged that he was complicit with those mega-hot Nigerian brothers in concocting assault claims, he was charged with felony disorderly conduct for making a false report to the police.  At one point, he had a deal to make the whole thing go away.  He simply had to repay the City of Chicago the $130K they spent investigating the incident.  He declined, the wheels of justice are turning, and a trial is looming.  Smollett moved to have the case dropped, but a new judge quashed that motion.  In perhaps an effort to rehabilitate his image, Jussie donated a carload of items to the Jenesse Center – an LA non-profit organization that helps victims of domestic violence.  He even enlisted the aid of his sister, Jurnee Smollett…talk about domestic violence!  The trial is slated to commence next week.

The most surprising story of the week concerns Tina Turner suing an impersonator!  This immediately brought to mind another case – Joan Rivers v. Frank Marino.  In that suit, Rivers was upset because Marino was performing many of the same routines that Rivers was doing in her act.  This case is different because Tina retired from the stage in 2009!  And yet she’s still suing Dorothea “Coco” Fletcher.  We’re told that Turner’s team feels Fletcher looks a bit too much like the real thing – which is also strange because she’s 50 years younger!

There’s been a new development in the case between Anthony Rapp and Kevin Spacey.  Back in 2017, a reporter contacted Spacey’s publicists and lawyers tipping them off about “Rapp’s assertion that the defendant made a sexual advance on him in 1986 when Rapp was 14 years old.”  This led to an intense e-mail thread between Spacey, his manager, his two lawyers, and his two publicists.  And therein lies the problem.  “None is a communication between the defendant and his lawyers without one or more of the manager and the PR people at least copied on the email.  Such communications are not lawyer-client communications made in confidence and/or generated for litigation,” says the judge.  Reminiscent of Hillary Clinton – Spacey needs to produce those e-mails or suffer the consequences.

Well, there’s no getting around it – we must tackle the biggest story of the day; the story on everyone’s lips; the story that has kept you up day and night.  Did Derek Hough give Len Goodman the coronavirus?  If he was going to infect someone, why, oh why, couldn’t it have been Tyra?  Here we are, writing this on the eve of the Dancing with the Stars finale, and the golden boy of the ballroom has been felled (yes, I said “felled” – look it up).  Since he’s in quarantine, one assumes he won’t be able to judge the finale – unless they employ some sort of remote hook-up.  Personally, I think the show works better with three judges anyway.

Many of you are upset about the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict – although, why anyone is surprised is a mystery to me.  Clearly, Wisconsin law was on his side, to say nothing of the judge, who inexplicably refused to allow the dead people to be referred to as “victims”.  Perhaps the term “people the defendant shot and killed” would have been OK – although not quite as succinct.  In addition to his freedom, Kyle has something to look forward to.  Matt Gaetz is considering inviting him to become a Congressional intern.  Those interns have a long history of curious positions.  Some end up on top of the desk.  Some, like Joe Scarborough’s, end up underneath.

For many who weren’t in a position to begin a number of the online game, it would be because of the limitations based on where you are. A number of the free harbors or any other sort of gambling games are merely accessible to people off specific nations. If you are from just one of your minimal regions, you are simply out of luck. If it happens, you could potentially still select from a broad different choices for almost every other game you can play for free.

The gay son of a friend recently asked me to meet him out.  I suggested a local gay bar.  When he arrived, he said, “Phew – I’m glad they didn’t question my ID.”  Why would they question it?  “It’s a fake – I don’t turn 21 until January.”  I felt like I was corrupting a youth – a feeling I know from when I was a youth!  While noting the looks we got from the older patrons (even older than moi), I thought – here I am with this adorable tyke, less than half my age, and I didn’t even win an Oscar!  That being said, the young are exhausting!  While youth may be wasted on the young, you need to be young to keep up.

Last week, we celebrated the 100^th episode of Billy Masters LIVE with Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.  The famed duo talked about The Fifth Dimension, their appearance in the documentary Summer of Soul, their duo work, their solo work, and even a joint appearance in Dreamgirls which you have to hear to believe!  This week, we’re hosting another panel discussion, because there’s a whole lot to discuss.  You can watch us live on Thursday at 3PM Eastern, Noon Pacific.  Or tune in whenever at BillyMasters.com/TV or at YouTube.com/BillyMastersTV.

It’s been a tumultuous week for Ingo Rademacher.  One of the legacy stars of General Hospital re-Tweeted a post which questioned whether US Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine is “an empowering woman” and referred to her as “dude” (Levine is transgender).  People quickly accused Ingo of being transphobic.  His GH co-star, Cassandra James (who is trans), took him to task.  Ingo immediately Tweeted an apology: “Cassandra, I apologize to you sincerely.  I think you’re an absolute talent and you’re very beautiful as well.  I don’t think a transphobic man would say that.  I think you’re absolutely gorgeous, I really do” – which then led many to question if Ingo was only OK with good-looking trans people…or perhaps had a little crush.  He also shared an anecdote about when his 3-year-old son “wanted to look pretty.  I don’t think a transphobic dad would buy his son a Disney princess dress.”  Days later, it was announced that Ingo was no longer a part of GH.  His last air date is November 22^nd.  While no reason for his departure was given (speculation runs from his anti-vax stance to this trans scandal), GH Tweeted this: “General Hospital stands in solidarity with the trans community.”

Another day, another arrest for Andy Dick.  According to reports, police were called to Dick’s home after he reportedly hit his boyfriend, Lucas, with a bottle.  A month earlier, he allegedly hit Lucas with a frying pan!  Andy’s ex-fiancée Elisa Jordana says that in June, he smashed Lucas over the head with a metal chair.  “He could have killed him!” says Elisa.  I normally don’t get into victim blaming, but at what point will Lucas stay away?

Our community has made enormous strides since I came out some three decades ago – a point driven home when I learned that the US Navy named a ship after Harvey Milk!  The gay rights advocate was assassinated in 1978 at a time when the idea of being openly gay in the military was unfathomable.  The naming ceremony of the USNS Harvey Milk took place in San Diego and was attended by the Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro.  “There is no doubt that the future sailors aboard this ship will be inspired by Milk’s life and legacy,” said Del Toro.  Somewhere, Milk is smiling at the thought of his namesake being boarded by thousands of young sailors.

“I was like, ‘I hope this doesn’t make anyone uncomfortable,
but this is how I feel.’  I love this person, and I want to be open in
every way…and hopefully show people that they also don’t
need to hide or alter themselves in any way.”  
– T.J. Osborne discusses his trepidation at bringing beau Abi with him to the CMA Awards. 
He says he felt “so accepted and loved by my peers”…so much so that he was comfortable
enough to kiss Abi on the lips when he and his brother won Vocal Duo of the Year.

Last week, Ed Sheeran revealed that for a brief time as a teen, he thought he might be gay.  “I love musical theater, I love pop music, I love Britney Spears.”  I hate to break it to him, but you also really have to love dick.

Our “Could it be…” item comes courtesy of Sheeran himself, who recently shared this anecdote about a fellow unnamed pop star: “We were just in a club with a shower in it and I turned around and he was naked.  I remember looking at his entourage and everyone was on their phone.  He is naked and walking around doing stuff, gets in the shower and the hot tub naked, he gets out of the hot tub and I was like, ‘Does nobody think this is weird?’  And he puts his clothes on and then the night resumed.  That was quite a strange situation.”  I vote for Sam Smith – who Ed previously revealed he’s gone to pubs with and gave him a statue of a penis for his birthday.

People keep asking Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber how he feels about casting trans actors.  Here’s his latest response: “I’ve got nothing against a trans performer.  The question is are they the best person for the role?  You always want to cast the best person possible for the role.  It really doesn’t matter what they are or what color they are.  It really doesn’t matter.  That’s always been my mantra.”  When specifically asked if he would cast a trans woman as Christine in Phantom of the Opera, he said, “Yes.  If she could sing it.”

Of course, there’s more to being in a musical than just singing.  You’ve also got to be able to act the part.  I thought about that when I read plans for a film version of Wicked.  Cynthia Erivo is an inspired choice as Elphaba.  Not only is she a dynamic singer, she’s also an Oscar-nominated actress (not to mention a Tony– and Emmy-winning one).  Then there’s Ariana Grande as Galinda.  She certainly can sing, but I reserve judgement on her acting ability.

This is another blow to poor Lea Michele.  In addition to having the Broadway revival of Funny Girl snatched away from her…twice, she’s also voiced her desire to play Elphaba in the Wicked film.  At least she’ll get to revisit one of her early successes.  The original cast of Spring Awakening is reuniting for a one-night-only benefit for the Actors Fund.  Lea will join Jonathan Groff and John Gallagher Jr. on November 15^th at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway.  So, mark it on your calendars – for one night only in 2021, Lea Michele has something to do.

I always love seeing what different actors will do with the play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.  I still mourn the Broadway production with Laurie Metcalf, Rupert Everett, and Russell Tovey which closed after nine previews due to Covid.  So I was intrigued when I heard of a revival coming to the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.  Then I read that Zachary Quinto and Calista Flockhart were cast.  Hmmm – kinda old to play Nick and Honey, but maybe opposite the right George and Martha.  Strike that – Zach and Cali ARE George and Martha.  The production opens on April 19^th.  I dunno…

Far more palpable is news that Quinto has been cast opposite Lukas Gage in the rom-com, Down Low.  The flick will also star Audra McDonald, Judith Light and Simon Rex, who is currently enjoying a bit of a renaissance.  Fun fact – Lukas also co-wrote the script and personally asked for Quinto to be cast.  Someone’s got daddy issues.

For eons, The Go-Go’s bemoaned the fact that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame would never acknowledge their place in music history.  Anger turned to acceptance and eventually, the girls embraced their status as underdogs.  Of course, this led to them being accepted – isn’t that the way it always is?  The Go-Go’s were inducted last week, alongside such artists as Tina Turner, Carole King, and Jay-Z.  An early fan, Drew Barrymore, introduced the ladies – and did so by donning a bath towel and putting cold cream on her face…an homage to The Go-Go’s first album, Beauty and the Beat.  Watching Kathy Valentine, Gina Schock, Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle and Jane Wiedlin on that stage, I was struck by how emotional they were.  Clearly being accepted meant more than they could have imagined.  The entire ceremony will be broadcast on HBO Max on November 20^th.

The Pasadena Playhouse is mounting a production of Head Over Heels.  The Broadway show, which features music by The Go-Go’s, has been thoroughly re-imagined and trimmed down to a one-act, 90-minute immersive romp taking place throughout the venue and encouraging dancing from the audience.  Even better, it features our pals Alaska Thunderfuck as Queen Gynecia and Lea DeLaria as King Basilius – you’re not gonna find a queerer royal couple than that!  It runs through December 12^th, so grab your tickets now at PasadenaPlayhouse.org.

Sherri Shepherd is having a busy fall.  She kicked off October by returning to The View for a week – the only former co-host invited back for such a lengthy return.  She kicked off November by hosting The Wendy Williams Show for a week – which inspired fans to start a petition for her to take over the show…should Wendy be unable to fulfill her duties.  But she’s not the only sassy black lady in daytime.  Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson wants to replace Ellen DeGeneres!  We hear that she filmed a pilot on Ellen’s set with Ellen’s crew.  Warner Bros. is itchy to get the American Idol alum to go head-to-head with Kelly Clarkson.  Didn’t she already do that on The Voice?

If anyone wants the crown of Queen of Daytime, they’re gonna have to pry it from Susan Lucci’s cold, dead scalp.  Yes, La Lucci is poised for a comeback…as Erica Kane!  ABC is developing Pine Valley and plans to bring back some key players from All My Children alongside some fresh meat.  Susan says if the show gets the green light, she’s in.  She joins previously attached stars Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who will also executive produce.

We’re happy to announce the marriage of Jason Gotay from Gossip Girl and his diminutive spouse, Michael Hartung.  Their “elevated backyard ceremony” served pizza and s’mores, and the grooms wore white leather Dr. Martens sneakers.  We wish them many years of happiness.

We also want to send congratulations out to Kal Penn on his engagement to his longtime partner…Josh.  But we have to ask – are we the last to know?

One of the stories we didn’t get to on Billy Masters LIVE was about Suni Reid.  Suni is a trans actor who claims to have been discriminated against by the producers of the musical Hamilton.  Reid is a “non-binary performer” and “openly transgender” – the details of which are unknown to moi.  However, “they” is a member of the touring company’s ensemble, and has occasionally been cast in the roles of George Washington, James Madison and Aaron Burr.  Most theatres have a limited backstage area, which means most performers share dressing rooms.  And ensemble players are either in a large male or female dressing room.  Apparently Suni was assigned to a male dressing room.  Reid requested a gender-neutral dressing room – which, naturally, doesn’t exist.  The producers offered to partition off a section of the ensemble room with a curtain, which “they” did not find acceptable.  When Suni’s contract was up, it was not renewed.  Reid has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and, I would guess, is having a devil of a time finding work.

By the by, the Mr. Gay World competition has announced that anyone who identifies as male is allowed to compete.  But they better not ask for their own dressing room.

Almost nothing surprises me – the wall coming down, the Trump presidency, even Tickle Me Elmo.  But I am completely surprised by B Positive.  If you haven’t been watching – and ratings would indicate that you’re not – it’s a mediocre sitcom with some very talented actors, decent writing, and a crappy theme song accompanied by a really creepy video montage in the style of Monty Python.  In season one, the male lead needed a kidney transplant and was surrounded by dialysis patients and a female lead as his donor.  The season ended with him surviving his transplant surgery.  The end, right?  In season two, his donor (who he’s secretly in love with) comes into millions of dollars, buys a retirement home, and hires the sassy gay dialysis nurse – played by the delicious Darryl Stephens.  The home is populated by such talented oldsters as Linda Lavin, Ben Vereen, Hector Elizondo, and a scene-stealing Jane Seymour.  If I were to describe B Positive now, I’d call it a mediocre show with some very talented actors, decent writing, and a crappy theme song accompanied by a ridiculous video montage in the style of Moulin Rouge.  I don’t know if it’s better or worse – but kudos for the flip.

Neil Patrick Harris is not only a gay man in real life – he’ll be playing one on television.  NPH’s latest career move is a Netflix series called Uncoupled.  This Darren Star show is about the uncoupling (hence the name) of Harris and his partner of 17 years, played by Tuc Watkins.  According to the producers, “Overnight, [Harris’ character] has to confront two nightmares – losing what he thought was his soulmate and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-40s in New York City.”  Am I the only one who thinks that doesn’t sound so bad?  Also cast are Brooks Ashmanskas, Marcia Gay Harden and Tisha Campbell.  Eight episodes have been ordered.

While many people are bemoaning the imminent end of Grace and Frankie, fear not – Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda aren’t done with each other (the remaining episodes of the final season will drop later this year).  The actresses will co-star in Moving On, a film about two friends who run into each other at a funeral and team up to get back at a widower from their past.  Has anyone called Dolly?

Our Ask Billy question came from Robert in New York – and he attached a photo: “You mentioned Ramin Karimloo a couple of weeks ago.  Is this a nude shot of him?”

My heart skipped a beat when I thought I was getting a nude photo of Ramin Karimloo in the mail.  Alas, it wasn’t Karimloo.  It was model Andrew Biernat – who, admittedly, has some Karimloo in him (something I wish I could say).  Should you be interested, I’ll post it on BillyMasters.com.

Over the years, there have been numerous discussions about a reboot of LA Law and what that would look like – particularly given the starry list of alums.  The new show would find Blair Underwood and Corbin Bernsen reprising their roles.  The oldsters would be leading the firm and dealing with a new group of young, hungry millennials.  ABC has ordered a pilot, which is being overseen by creator Steven Bochco’s son, Jesse.  No word yet on any other former cast members who might pop up, but we’re told guest appearances are likely.  After all, what else does Susan Dey have to do?

Candace Bushnell says she has no involvement with the Sex and the City sequel series – And Just Like That….  “They rebooted Gossip Girl.  If they didn’t reboot Sex and the City, it would be really strange.”  While Bushnell says she doesn’t know what the show is about, she will tune in when it debuts on HBO Max in December.

I’m sure you’ve heard that there will be a sequel to The White Lotus next season.  It will feature a new group of travelers visiting a different high-end resort – likely in Europe.  However, my sources tell me that Jennifer Coolidge is in negotiations to be the sole returning globetrotter.  YAY!

Being Batwoman can be hazardous to your health.  Remember Ruby Rose?  The first Batwoman on The CW left the show at the end of the first season in an air of mystery.  She’s now telling all on social media.  “To my dear, dear fans still asking if I will return to that awful show.  I wouldn’t return for any amount of money nor if a gun were to my head.”  So far, this sounds like Meghan McCain’s exit interview from The View!  She says she never quit – she was ordered to return to the set 10 days after surgery on two herniated disks damaged during filming, and she refused to be rushed.  Rose continues by accusing the brass of ruining the character and the show, of making her sign away her rights, and of bullying and blackmailing her.  She also says that an incident on the set left her with a cut “so close to my eye…I could have been blind.”  The producers responded: “The truth is that Warner Bros. Television had decided not to exercise its option to engage Ruby for season two of Batwoman based on multiple complaints about workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned.”  Well that clears up…absolutely nothing.

In terms of hazards, the show with the largest body count is probably The View.  In her endless audible book Bad Republican (there are five hours I’ll never get back), Meghan McCain talks about the toxic work environment and blames many people for troubled tenure – many people except herself.  She says Joy Behar made her cry, vomit, and lactate simultaneously!  Now, look, Joy Behar is a powerful woman.  But can she cause milk to flow?  If true, I don’t believe anyone would be prouder than Joy herself.  McCain says their relationship was never resolved after she returned from maternity leave and teased Joy by saying, “Admit it – you missed me, you missed fighting with me”, to which Joy bluntly responded, “I did not – I did not miss you.  Zero.”  She had a similar fall-out after Whoopi Goldberg chastized her with the now-infamous, “Girl, please stop talking.  Please stop talking right now.”  But could Whoopi instigate creation of a dairy product?  I think not.

More than anything, one is struck by Meghan’s hypocrisy.  When Saturday Night Live spoofed The View, Meghan would repost the clips.  In 2019, she Tweeted, “I’m not supposed to be on twitter because of hiatus BUT this sketch is hilarious, and being parodied by @SNL is a huge pop culture honor. – Signed, your old intern and ‘the princess of Arizona’.”  In the book, McCain claims the sketches made her feel like “I was the laughing stock of the country.”  It’s as if Meghan likes having it both ways – as do I, but enough about my sex life.  McCain would regularly lambast guests on The View who wrote tell-alls.  Andy Cohen asked if she felt hypocritical by writing her own tell-all.  “No,” was her succinct answer.

Daytime TV is in freefall.  What’s most shocking is that The View is the most stable of the bunch.  All they have to do is fill Meghan McCain’s seat – a task nobody seems in a rush to do.  Having Sherri Shepherd fill in last week reminded people what a valuable and versatile co-host she is.  But I don’t anticipate Sherri moving back east anytime soon.  And if she did, it would probably be to take over for Wendy Williams!  Wendy has delayed her season premiere TWICE because of complications after contracting the coronavirus (last spring, she told Dr. Oz she would not get the vaccine).  That triggered a flare-up of her Graves’ disease.  Producers are now scrambling for guest hosts through Thanksgiving – and I can tell you exclusively that Sherri will host the first week of November.

On the West Coast, we have The Talk – or the daytime version of The Titanic.  The show was down to two hosts – Sheryl Underwood and Amanda Kloots.  Talk about re-arranging the deck chairs!  Then they hired two guys – whose names are unimportant (except one of them was asked to leave The Talk to take over Wendy).  Then, without any warning, they hired recently departed Today show reporter Natalie Morales.  That pissed off Underwood – who never wanted to moderate, but had been enjoying ruling the roost after ousting Sharon Osbourne.  I’m told Morales was sprung on the cast as a fait accompli – which is French for “If you don’t like it, leave”.

Does every superhero have to have homosexual tendencies?  Not that I’m complaining.  Sure, they’ve got perfect, rippling bodies that they exhibit in form-fitting spandex, Lycra, or some other kind of fishnet stocking.  But I’m sure some straight guys could fall into that category – although none immediately spring to mind.  The latest superhero joining our ranks is Superman.  No, not the classic Superman.  We’re talking about Jon Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane.  Funny, I always thought he was Superboy – but I suppose that’s a moniker that doesn’t have a long shelf life.  Here’s what DC Comics said: “Following a scene where Superman mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone he can, Jay is there to care for the Man of Steel.”  Jay is Jay Nakamura, a longtime friend of the superlad.  The twosome share a kiss next month.

Not everyone is applauding this news.  Dean Cain, who played Superman in the ‘90s, happened to be on Fox & Friends when the story broke.  “They said it’s a bold new direction.  I say they’re bandwagoning.”  He continued, “If they had done this 20 years ago, perhaps that would have been bold or brave.  But brave would be having him fight for the rights of gay people in Iran where they’ll throw you off a building for the offense of being gay.”  While I’m sympathetic to oppressed people, I don’t know if they even have comic books in Iran.  Certainly not comic books with gay superheroes!

Last week, I too was in Las Vegas.  Coincidence???  Actually, yes.  I flew in to see Naked Boys Singing at the Jewel Box Theatre inside the Erotic Heritage Museum.  They share the space with Puppetry of the Penis – but the puppets had the night off.  I had to settle for five attractive and talented men singing some catchy songs that have a special place in my heart – no strings attached.  My long history with the creation and original cast of Naked Boys Singing was discussed in a special episode of Billy Masters LIVE last year (season 1, episode 41).  So it makes sense that our fall premiere features four members of this Vegas cast.  David Hernandez (a BML veteran), Matthew Ludwinski, Chris Salvatore, and Marcus Terell will join us on Thursday, October 21^st at 3PM Eastern / Noon Pacific on BillyMasters.com/TV or at YouTube.com/BillyMastersTV.  We’ll also be airing a world premiere video from the show – you won’t want to miss it.

I can’t believe it.  I completely missed National Coming Out Day.  Not that I typically do much of anything to celebrate.  It’s not like I’d chop down a tree, eat a special meal, or dress in a silly costume – I’m not from Arkansas!  No, I usually think about how fortunate I am to live in a time and place where people can be open about their sexual identity.  And then have anonymous sex with as many men as possible.  What can I say?  I’m a romantic.

It was the day after National Coming Out Day that I read about President Joe Biden condemning anti-gay legislation in various states.  That’s how you make progress.  Then I read that Carl Nassib, the openly gay pro football player, said the most important part of coming out was finding that special somebody.  See?  We have something in common.  Last night, I met a dozen special someones – none that I could identify in a police lineup, but that’s probably for the best.  Anyway, Carl said, “I just wanted to be someone’s number one priority, and I couldn’t have that.  So that was the one thing where I was like, ‘Man, I really fucking want that.’  But I got that now, so it’s good.  Oh, I met an awesome guy.  He’s the best.”

Carl declined to elaborate on who he is dating, but he did reveal that he planned on coming out a year earlier.  Blame the delay on that pesky pandemic.  While he had some trepidation about telling his story, he said, “Everyone responded so well.  I was like, ‘Damn, these are good dudes!’”  Well, not everyone.  Jon Gruden, the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders (the team Carl plays for), sent e-mails containing homophobic, transphobic, racist and misogynistic content between 2011-18 to various NFL colleagues.  While this was long before his tenure with the Raiders, he was obliged to resign over the revelation.  Consequently, Carl took a personal day.  “He just said he’s got a lot to process, there’s a lot that’s been going on the last few days, and of course we support that request,” said the team’s general manager.

Our Ask Billy question was about someone not wearing a stitch of clothing.  Frank in Indianapolis asks, “When did Oscar Isaac appear naked?  I’ve watched every episode of Scenes from a Marriage, and I missed it.”

You aren’t the only one.  Many people have wondered where this much-discussed nude scene is.  It’s a post-coital scene when he’s talking to Jessica Chastain on the floor about needing to go “freshen up”.  It’s in episode four – roughly at the 16-minute and 39-second mark…but who’s counting?  To make it easier, you can just watch it on BillyMasters.com.

Dave Chappelle has stepped in it once again.  In his latest special, The Closer, he brought up the North Carolina law limiting use of public restrooms to the gender listed on one’s birth certificate.  When some people in the audience applauded, he said, “No, no, no, no – no, that’s not a good law.  That’s a mean law.  No American should have to present a birth certificate to take a shit at Walmart in Greensboro, North Carolina!”  He then went into a lengthy discussion regarding his history with the trans community – and what a history it is.  GLAAD said, “Chappelle’s brand has become synonymous with ridiculing trans people and other marginalized communities.”  And they’re right – kinda.  You know which group is typically Chappelle’s biggest target?  Black people.  Talk about a marginalized community!  Chappelle says The Closer is his last word on the trans subject.  “It’s over…I am not telling another joke about you until we are both sure that we are laughing together.”  Equality isn’t avoiding jokes about certain people; it’s treating all people the same.  And Chappelle does that.
