\u201cMaybe being publicly mocked and criticized

\nEl Presidente <\/em>said of Kaitlan Collins<\/strong>, \u201cI thought Kaitlan had really
\nmade it big with a major new sponsorship.  But then I informed her

This column fills in a niche for many people \u2013 a niche rarely filled by other journalists.  For instance, did you know that August is National Anal Month<\/em>?  You\u2019re not going to get that from TMZ<\/em> \u2013 although I suspect my pal Harvey Levin <\/strong>gets it regularly!  Certainly Falcon Studios <\/em>knows all about anal.  The venerable gay porn studio has started a publishing house.  FalconINK <\/em>plans to publish male-male erotic fiction with a twist \u2013 their target audience is women!  They are capitalizing on the success of the Heated Rivalry<\/em><\/strong> franchise, which began life as a series of books written by Rachel Reid<\/strong>.  \u201cFor the first time, we\u2019re also creating content for one of the largest audiences in the M\/M romance space: women.  No company is better positioned to tell accessible romantic and erotic stories than the one that has been doing it so successfully since 1971,\u201d said CEO Tim Valenti<\/strong>.  I dunno if their thrust has always been \u201cromantic and erotic stories\u201d \u2013 although surely nothing says romance like the smell of a bustling urinal!<\/p>\n

Congrats to Sam Smith <\/strong>on his engagement to Christian Cowan<\/strong>.  The couple has been dating since 2022.  Cowan is also a Brit, has his own fashion label, and has worked with numerous celebrities over the years.  No word on when the nuptials will take place, or if Cowan will design the trousseau<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As we went to press came word that WNBA <\/em>star Brittney Griner <\/strong>and her wife Cherelle <\/strong>have filed for divorce.  Correction \u2013 Griner filed for divorce.  While I don\u2019t normally take sides when it comes to situations I know nothing about, I would like to point out that Cherelle fought to get Griner released from a Russian prison for over 9 months.  You\u2019d certainly think that would earn her a bit of grace.  Brittney is also requesting sole custody of their son.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one romantic rumor we can quash.  Pedro Pascal <\/strong>is not dating OnlyFans model, Christian Hogue<\/strong>.  The two were spotted in the company of others on a yacht in Spain.  Lesser scribes took this as a sign of romance \u2013 or at the very least one of those \u201ctransactional relationships\u201d that are so popular with the rich and famous.  Hogue commented on these rumors.  \u201cI really don\u2019t need to explain myself here but I am going to.  Many of you are spinning this into something it\u2019s not and it\u2019s just sad.  I am not gay nor am I for hire.  I have been welcomed to this boat as a friend for many years.  So it\u2019s a damn shame to see how quickly everyone jumps to this conclusion when it couldn\u2019t be farther from the truth.\u201d  So there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
