Pictured: Sexy Paul Rudd knows how to show man-love. Siegfried & Roy before the, uh..., incident.

"One time I was fast asleep on the couch and I just feel Paul and his gentle touch on my shoulder going, 'Hey, Jase, wake up. It's time to wake up, buddy. Wake up.' And I slowly open my eyes, and Paul is standing there with his dick out. And he just gives me this weird, mischievous smile and walked out of the room."—Jason Segal talks about working with Paul Rudd on "I Love You Man." Seems like someone is a Method actor.

I spent last weekend in Vegas and one of the highlights was going to Donny & Marie's show at the fabulous Flamingo Casino and Resort. I am incredibly partial to this casino because it's perfectly sized, perfectly situated, perfectly laid out, and perfectly kept up. The showroom is really one of the nicest in town, and routinely has great people as in-house entertainers ( save for one of the more recent artists who shall remain nameless ) .

Donny & Marie is not only the perfect show for this room—it's the perfect show for all of Vegas. It has everything a great Vegas show needs—likeable personalities, catchy familiar songs, great voices, good balance of song/dance/patter, and interaction with the audience. I defy anyone to see this show and not leave happy. In many ways, it feels like the old Donny & Marie variety show from the '70s. They sing together, joke together, joke at each other's expense, and sing some more. There are solo sections for each of the siblings, and they prove themselves to be in phenomenal shape both physically and vocally. By the end, you've had a great time, heard songs you remember fondly, walked down memory lane, and leave with a smile on your face. The Flamingo must be smiling too—the siblings' six-month contract has been extended to two years! That gives me plenty of time to go back and see it again. Bottom line—go see this show. You'll have a GREAT time!!

Didya watch the Siegfried and Roy farewell on 20/20? I talked to some people who were there and they are utterly convinced that Roy was only on stage for the final bow. If you watch the tape, both men are in hooded capes and masks. The alleged "Roy" hobbles out, as if it is a superhuman effort. Even the Siegfried doesn't move much. At the end of the trick, Roy briefly ( and discretely ) walks to the side of the stage, momentarily obstructed by the curtain. Then he comes out for the bow, takes off the mask, and it's Roy. So, was the whole trick Roy? Was just the bow Roy? Does it matter? Who cares anyway? They raised a lot of money for a good cause, and I guess it shouldn't matter. But, dammit, you know I want to find out the truth.

I also went to Krave to see Janice Dickinson host an Andrew Christian underwear show. This was scheduled to start at 2 a.m., and it did—on the dot. I think Janice had a few of her boys there, but they were augmented by some of the luscious Krave go-go boys, including my buddy Ethan Reynolds ( who is currently a brunette ) . Some people in the know said that Janice was hanging all over a certain woman and introducing her as "my lesbian lover". They are apparently inseparable. This has been going on for a few weeks, and my sources say Janice is starting the lesbian rumor to get some press. So, shhh. Let's keep this between you and me.

I must confess, you lesbians are a mystery to me. Case in point—Cat Cora from Iron Chef America. She's just announced that she's four and a half months pregnant with her third child ( a boy ) . Nothing strange there. Except that she's not pregnant with her own child—she was implanted with one of her girlfriend Jennifer's fertilized eggs. I am told that this is something lesbian couples do for legal reasons—in fact, the second child that Cat gave birth to was also from one of Jennifer's eggs. So, who cares? But Jennifer is also pregnant—and due next month! And no one knows who the mother of that kid is, because Jen was implanted with her own fertilized eggs and Cat's! The only definite is that all of these kids have the same dad—both ladies used the same anonymous sperm donor. And you people thought the Octomom was wacky? This sounds like a very special episode of Maury!

Have ya been watching Joan and Melissa Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice? Well, here's something you didn't know about the Rivers family: When Missy and ex-hubby John Endicott divorced, he had it written into the divorce agreement that Mommie Dearest would not include him in her stage act! He's smarter than he looks...

Tom Brady and his new wife, Gisele Bundchen, were spotted getting facials in Beverly Hills. Who cares, right? Well, once they got home, Tom took some time to wander out onto his balcony shirtless—in full view of the paparazzi. Pics on BillyMasters.com .

Even hotter are some nude photos that arrived in my inbox of Rick Schroder. In the 1994 made-for-TV flick Texas, there was a skinny-dipping scene where Schroder exposes his little Ricky. Someone sent us the enhanced stills which are mighty hot indeed. Check 'em out at BillyMasters.com .

Our "Ask Billy" question is from Tyler in Baltimore: "I heard that Matt Dallas and Jonathan Bennett are dating. Is this true? Are they both gay?"

If they're dating, they must be gay...right? They were dating months ago—there's a photo of them together at a Halloween party that started the rumors. I'm told it was never anything serious. They're both currently single.

When I can squeeze in a few naked celebs and a quick "Ask Billy" question, it's definitely time to end yet another column. I didn't even get to tell you about Pamela Anderson's deformed nipple popping out at the Vivienne Westwood fashion show in Paris, or Britney stopping a concert to exclaim, "My pussy is hanging out!" I'll post those as extras on www.BillyMasters.com—the site that caters to everyone! If you've got a question, feel free to send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Cat and Jen's kids appear in the all lesbian version of "Lace"! Until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.
