And, no, I don\u2019t believe <strong><em>Celebrity Big Brother<\/em><\/strong> counts.&nbsp; But I do have friends who not only watch, but have photos of each contestant and handicap alliances as if they were <em>OTB<\/em>.&nbsp; When I heard there was a hot guy that got gay tongues wagging&#8230;well, what kind of big dog would I be not to follow?&nbsp; Then I found out the hunk hails from Boston.&nbsp; Oh, sure, <strong>Tucker Des Lauriers <\/strong>now lives in Brooklyn, but he\u2019s a Boston boy \u2013 and was raised by a gay father!&nbsp; In fact, he was discovered at 15 when he caught the attention of <strong>Bruce Weber <\/strong>during a family vacation in Provincetown.&nbsp; Take that all in.&nbsp; He goes out of his way to defend Weber, saying he\u2019s been \u201cnothing but professional and helpful.\u201d&nbsp; Tucker is now 30 years old, has a 30-inch waist, and a 33-inch inseam.&nbsp; Well, now you\u2019ve got me interested \u2013 and we\u2019ve got some photographic proof on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.BillyMasters.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>BillyMasters.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a> to back it up.&nbsp; And, trust me \u2013 this is worth backing up on.&nbsp; He was recently asked about his most vocal group of fans.&nbsp; \u201cDefinitely gay men, for sure.&nbsp; And I just think that they\u2019re naturally more aggressive too, so yeah.&nbsp; Definitely a lot more aggressive.\u201d&nbsp; Enough said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\" alt=\"colorbar1\" width=\"500\" height=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>This leads into one of my favorite <strong><em>Ask Billy<\/em><\/strong> question in weeks.&nbsp; <strong>Henry <\/strong>in New York writes, <em>\u201cThis may seem like a silly question, but what do you know about <strong>Kirill <\/strong>in the <\/em><strong>Car Shield <\/strong><em>commercials?&nbsp; He\u2019s so freaking hot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Henry, there are no silly questions.&nbsp; Sure, Kirill may be dumb as a stump (or however you say it in Russian), but you give me a hot guy who knows the exchange rate between US Dollars and Russian Rubles, and I\u2019m all in&#8230;literally.&nbsp; I texted <strong>Vivica <\/strong>\u2013 \u2018cause that\u2019s what I do \u2013 but she doesn\u2019t recall ever meeting Kirill.&nbsp; So I was on my own.&nbsp; I did some digging and came up with a shocking discovery \u2013 Kirill might not actually exist!&nbsp; In the TV commercial, he\u2019s billed as \u201cKirill C.\u201d \u2013 an actual <em>Car Shield <\/em>customer for 7 years who has saved over $9K.&nbsp; But in a longer online version of his testimonial, he is called \u201cKirill K\u201d.&nbsp; And in the description, he\u2019s referred to as \u201cKirill P\u201d.&nbsp; Even allowing for shoddy translation from Cyrillic letters, I\u2019m wondering if he might be some kinda bot.&nbsp; I\u2019m also not entirely convinced I wouldn\u2019t be willing to accept whatever virus he\u2019s peddling.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\" alt=\"colorbar1\" width=\"500\" height=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>When there\u2019s a Russian bot I can get behind, it\u2019s definitely time to end yet another column.&nbsp; This begs the question \u2013 where are the US bot makers with people like <strong>Chad<\/strong>, <strong>Lance <\/strong>and <strong>Chip<\/strong>?&nbsp; We\u2019re falling behind and mark my words, the next war will be waged by AI incarnations.&nbsp; And, frankly, I believe Kirill could whip Lance\u2019s butt \u2013 and I bet Lance would enjoy it.&nbsp; If that footage leaks, you\u2019ll find it on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/\">www.BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the site that\u2019s inciting artificial wars because I\u2019m bored with real people.&nbsp;
