With The Crown & Anchor <\/em>under the absentee management of Tristan Schukraft<\/strong>, one expected certain changes.  The first one I noticed is that the shows now have assigned seating.  General admission was never a problem, but what do I know?  Here\u2019s something I know a lot about \u2013 drinking!  Gay people like drinking during drag shows (or, really, any shows).  It helps the audience, and it helps the performer.  But this year, there are suddenly no cocktail waiters at The Crown<\/em>.  Why?  Who knows.  The biggest surprise of all \u2013 the hotel has no guests!  Yes, it\u2019s completely empty.  Allegedly, the rooms are being renovated.  Seems to me that\u2019s something best done off-season.<\/p>\n

I doubt Tristan is too concerned about any of these things, because he\u2019s got his hands full with a fianc\u00e9 <\/em>and other boyfriends (numbers vary from five to eight).  And they\u2019re all getting ready to hit reality TV!  No, this isn\u2019t some Sister Wives<\/em><\/strong>-type show.  They\u2019ll be appearing on Below Deck<\/em><\/strong> to take a trip at sea (like that infamous three-hour tour).  The trailer to the episode shows it won\u2019t all be smooth sailing, as you\u2019ll see on BillyMasters.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Crown & Anchor <\/em>has had a checkered time since being sold by the formidable duo of Rick Murray <\/strong>and Bill Dougal <\/strong>(Rick just sold Mussel Beach Gym <\/em>in Provincetown as well).  Before Tristan bought it, the complex was briefly owned by Jonathan Hawkins<\/strong>, who is facing some legal issues.  According to court records provided to Billy Masters International<\/em>, on July 15th<\/sup> he was charged with numerous counts of possession and trafficking methamphetamine!  He was released from Barnstable District Court <\/em>on bail of $150K (he only had to come up with $15K in cash).  His next court date is September 14th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

By now, you\u2019ve all heard about Perez Hilton<\/strong>\u2019s \u201csituation\u201d and subsequent hospitalization, so no need for me to rehash that.  Sources states that he\u2019s still in the hospital and requires surgery.  His mother has filed for temporary custody of his three children, and I\u2019m told Perez has not fought this.  While various celebrated types have weighed in online about Hilton, I couldn\u2019t help but notice a post by Jared Padalecki<\/strong>.  He initially wrote, \u201cHey @PerezHilton.  Just wanted to reach out and let you know that you\u2019re in my thoughts…I hope you are trying as best as you can to be kind to yourself right now.  Please surround yourself with the love and support that all humans deserve.\u201d  Shortly thereafter, he deleted the post due to pressure from some of his fans and wrote \u201cI didn\u2019t know.  It\u2019s been brought to my attention.  I\u2019m sorry.\u201d   He then clarified things in a longer post: \u201cTo give more detail re: my post wishing someone well… I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about his past.  I had heard of him.  Obviously, I had heard that he hadn\u2019t exactly \u2018been kind\u2019 to me in the past.  So, my thought is always to give grace and forgiveness to those who may have tried to \u2018harm\u2019 you…. That having been said, I TRULY didn\u2019t know ANYTHING about the extent to what he had done.  That\u2019s my bad.\u201d  So, let me get this straight \u2013 Jared would rather be known as clueless than compassionate?  And even after all that, does he NOT wish Perez well?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
