Since I\u2019m using my foreign tongue these days, this next story seems appropriate.  Eduardo Verastegui <\/strong>was a member of one of my favorite Latin boy bands, Kairo<\/em><\/strong>, which consisted of three of the hottest guys ever.  Later, he appeared in a few telenovelas <\/em>and the flick, Chasing Papi<\/em><\/strong> (he was papi<\/em>).  At the time, he was rumored to be a member of our tribe.  Then he came out as anti-marriage equality, ran for president of Mexico (he lost), and became involved in Christian entertainment.  It\u2019s worth mentioning that putting Christians in an arena with lions was also considered \u201centertainment\u201d.  But, I digress.  Eduardo was romantically linked with Mexican actress\/model Aracely Arambula<\/strong>.  She was once at a Ricky Martin <\/strong>concert in Mexico City and reportedly said, \u201cAnd to think that the guy up there singing stole my boyfriend.\u201d  Of course, we don\u2019t know who she said this to, and she\u2019s never confirmed it.  But it was allegedly witnessed by Ana Maria Alvarado<\/strong>, a Mexican journalist.  This old story recently came up when a reporter asked Verastegui about the rumor.  \u201cIt\u2019s a lie, and you all know it.  I know who I am.\u201d  The report got back to Ricky, and he addressed it on Instagram<\/em>.  \u201cLaughing here because what else can I do.  Just so we\u2019re clear, I have NEVER seen Eduardo Verastegui\u2019s \u2018pipi<\/em>\u2019 \u2013 not his \u2018pipi<\/em>\u2019 or ANYTHING.\u201d  I\u2019m not entirely sure that\u2019s a denial.  After all, I\u2019ve slept with scores of fellas I couldn\u2019t identify in a police lineup!<\/p>\n

Every once in a while, a friend of mine sees a good actor in a terrible movie and calls it their \u201chealth insurance role\u201d \u2013 something they probably did to keep their benefits.  Most actors don\u2019t admit to such things, which is why it was so refreshing when Cheyenne Jackson <\/strong>went public.  He\u2019s previously talked about needing to work to keep his benefits, and then he posted a photo with Kathy Bates <\/strong>with this caption: \u201cLast year, Kathy Bates helped me qualify for my SAG-AFTRA <\/em>health insurance by helping me get 5 lines on an episode of Matlock<\/em><\/strong>.  This year, two dear girlfriends helped me get there.  I know what it feels like to be one job away\u2026and what it means when someone actually comes through.  So I\u2019m starting a little series called \u2018ONE<\/em><\/strong> JOB<\/em><\/strong> AWAY<\/em><\/strong>\u2019, spotlighting fellow actors who are close to qualifying for their SAG <\/em>health insurance and could use a little help with that next booking.  I\u2019ll share their faces, their work, and how to reach them.  Casting directors, producers, friends making things\u2026maybe your next hire is someone you meet here.  Actors\u2026DM me your info if you want to be featured.  Sometimes we all need somebody to put our name in the room.\u201d  I\u2019m falling more and more in love with Cheyenne each and every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
