fit actor comes out (kinda)

oh I love it when a celebrity comes out, I know it's totally shallow and maybe should be none of our business but I still think its important to have role models out there. The amazingly sexy sottish actor Gerard Butler who can currently be seen starring with Katherine Heigl in "the ugly truth" often plays quite loveable rogues in his films but last week in an interview with an america magazine he stated

"I have been in relationships with women and men, that doesn’t make me gay, that doesn’t make me straight. Butler told the magazine "I talk about my sexuality, but its always glossed over. People seem to shy away from the issue"



Well that’s quite refreshing, a non stereotypical actor discussing his sexuality openly and honestly. In other gay related entertainment news, the ever increasingly charming Daniel Radcliffe has not only openly spoken out against homophobia in the new issue of Attitude magazine but he has now made a major donation to a gay youth anti suicide helpline in America, Radcliffe said of his support -

"It's extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it's truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.

"I deeply hope my support can raise the organisation's visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of the Trevor helpline's highly trained counsellors and Trevor's many other resources.

"It's vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value."

Bless you! I am getting all emotional with this kindness, also after watching countless episodes of the Channel 4 reality show "Secret Millionaire" last night I can barely type with my eyes in such pain from crying so hard, I tell you that show restores your faith in human kindness!

Getting married soon, looking for a singer for your wedding, look no further than Katie Price, yes the woman who has somehow managed to destroy her public image completely in the last few weeks was a guest at her make up artists civil partnership at the weekend and got up to sing Whitney Houstons "I have nothing" but instead of singing drunknely called the guests a bunch of c*nts and then started slagging off her estranged husband Peter Andre with more expletives - classy!

Meanwhile Peter Andre's profile with the media and the public is on the increase, he is looking good and being quite charming but I have to say his comeback single is just dreary but it is still predicted to get to number one, I doubt the same could be said for Whitney's comeback single which is so dull I almost fell asleep the first time I heard it, plus her one silky smooth voice now has more of a silk cut twang to it - c'mon whitters!! we wanted a fiesty disco number not some pocahontas disney sounding durge! fix up girl!

THE IMAGINARY MEN OF PIPPY'S BOUDOIR!

Now i know that this guy was on the blog recently but i was rushed and couldn't find any great pics of him, they say time is a healer and ooh baby i am fine now, boomeranging his way back into the boudoir is the star of "True Blood" - Ryan Kwanten







Well I am off for a short break tomorrow to Turku in Finland to see Anna and Tony, really looking forward to seeing them and seeing somewhere different. Probably wont be blogging when I go out there so a full report will be here on monday

have fun and enjoy the apparent sun (not that I even bother listening to the met office - centuries ago you would have been taken out and flogged in the street if you got your predictions so wrong) when did sunny translate as torrential rain?? and vice versa, I go out in a jacket and am sweating my ass off, I go out in a tshirt and get so drenched it turns into a one man wet t shirt contest - sort it out!

xx

well I never did!

I have to listen to music when I wake up in the morning, it helps me get out of bed, shake my shimmy and start the day with a bop. Usually I slap the laptop on and put one of my spotify playlists on shuffle but this morning I put the radio on instead, I am always tempted to stick to Xfm but accidentally went for Radio 1, this would ordinarily provoke an angry reponse due to the presence of that fat knacker Chris Moyles, but thankfully Scott Mills is covering for him this week and guess what he had the nerve to do, he was playing music - one song after another in regular succession like an actual DJ!! Now if only they would not let Moyles come back we could all live happily ever after..well apart from the stabbings and car jackings.

Now Peter Andre/Katie Price, I have so been on Andre's side but now it has all been confirmed due to his attitude towards his children, his political endeavours and the fact that he looks all kinds of flava's of hot in pants, is that Harvey in your pants or are you just pleased to see me? - woooh child!



So Robbie Williams is back on the scene releasing a new single and album later this year, his last effort "Rudebox" was just wrong, but hopefully his time away has been well spent, apparently he has been working with some great songwriters and it seems he is looking hot so bring it, if rumours are to be believed he will be playing the 02 early next year to fill some of Michael Jackson's dates. I might just be tempted to go, he was my teenage/20's crush

I am getting back into Ugly Betty on 4OD, its stepping up its game and Wilhelmina is getting bitchier which is what we love, apparently for the next series they are going to make Betty less ugly, lets face it 3 seasons with a brace on is enough for anyone, but will it work?, america ferreira who plays betty is an attractive young woman, will we still care if she becomes booty betty?

I don’t mind hot weather as long as there is the glimpse of sun but the last few days in london village have been grey and humid and its totally messing with my aura, why when they were building the bendy buses did no one ask -" the engine and amount of people on here is going to make things really hot and uncomfortable! should we get air conditioning? thankfully my co worker the sweatmonger has not been round much this week so I haven't had to face the ever present danger of collapsing at my desk, but due to hot desking I now have the woman with 3 mobiles - all with different ring tones and text alerts and they go off constantly, I think she is actually a call centre disguised as a bint!

back tomorrow with the boudoir boy!!

As one door opens….

I started to write a blog on friday that was quite positive and optimistic but never finished it due to having too much work on, I was going to write about the Quakers decision to agree to holding gay marriages in their religion, at their annual meeting in York on friday they passed the decision, this is the first mainstream religious group in Britain to decide on this, now if only other group would follow suit. It’s a great start though.

This news on friday left me feeling great, I have a very problematic realtionship with religion and it was nice to feel like I had a way in but then on saturday night in Tel Aviv a lone gunman entered a room where a gay youth support group was meeting and sprayed the room with bullets, killing 2 teens and injuring a further 12. This was clearly a homophobic attack, police are still hunting for the gunman and it is feared that more attacks will happen, police have taken the step of closing all gay bars in the city. I heard this news first thing on sunday morning and it really upset me, I have been a member of and run support groups for young gay people and know how essential these servies are, the thought that someone could enter such a safe, supportive space and turn into a slaughterhouse is sickening, just when you think the world is moving on….

In other news it seems experts have reached a conclusion on how Michael Jackson died, Jackson's personal cardiologist administered a powerful dose of Propofol before Jackson went to bed, as the doctor slept Jackson woke and asked an aide for further medication and was given a dose of the painkiller Demerol, it was the combination of these 2 doses that led to the fatal heart attack, so avoidable and so sad.

The new Madonna single "Celebration" was leaked on the internet last week, I have been listening to it on repeat pretty much since then and have to say that on first hearing I was not that impressed but as with most Madonna singles, it’s a grower, I obviously need to hear it in a club as it’s a fast paced dance song and I expect gay clubs across the land will be wearing this track out from this week.

As for me, well I just had a lovely weekend, Tony was staying with me to get the results of his pHD and its all good as he passed so there was some celebrating going on, few bars on friday night and then a bit of a leo sayer (all dayer) on saturday, I think we peaked too early on saturday as we were both fast aleep before midnight! Had a very lazy day yesterday and then met a guy that I am dating for a couple of drinks followed by a barbecue at his mates house which went well, they all seem nice. things are going well - woo hoo!!
