"I have seen some of the episodes. My niece, my young niece saw Funny Girl on DVD and said, 'How come you're singing so many songs from Glee?"—Streisand shares her thoughts on Glee' When specifically asked if she would consider being on the show, she added, "Not if I can help it."

As you all know, I was just in London for some theatre, opera, and, oh yes, the BAFTAs. But I'm surprised I never ran into Prince Harry because, as it turns out, we travel in similar circles. On Saturday night, Harry was cavorting in a gay bar with drag queens and scantily clad men while I was trying to avoid running into Keira Knightley for the umpteenth time ( no matter where I go in London she's there—like a stalker ) . I think Harry had the better night—he was at the popular Box Bar in SoHo celebrating a female friend's birthday. The group enjoyed the male strippers and female impersonators—to say nothing of quite a few beverages. When the Prince emerged at 3 a.m., his shirt was slightly undone and showed a bit of his ginger happy trail—which always makes us pretty happy.

Sticking with the UK, a waiter at a popular Chinese restaurant in SoHo just won a sexual-discrimination suit. The waiter ( who happens to be gay and Chinese—not that it matters ) claims that two male managers simulated sex acts in front of him and on sang "Like a Virgin" and kissed and fondled each other. It sounds like being at the Grammys—but is it sexual harassment? He also claims that a customer once tweaked his nipple and the manager asked "Did you like it?" I'm wondering what service he provided to provoke a customer to go anywhere near the nipple? I'm sure I've done it—but it's been established that I have boundary issues. He claims that the restaurant is very chilly and his thin uniform led to his nipples being erect. Part of the problem might be his type-2 diabetes: "My loss of weight leads me to look attractive but it brought me trouble as I suffered from sexual harassment from some duty managers. I was losing weight and, due to the tightness of the company uniform, a black T-shirt, my body figure was being shown." Oh, he's too thin and too attractive because of the diabetes. Who do I have to fuck to get that??? And, more importantly, where is this restaurant where waiters don't wear pants? The owner was ordered to pay �21,500 ( $40,000 ) for "lost earnings and injury to feelings." Maybe they should also send him some Sassy Nips! My feelings were hurt just reading this crap. Send me some cash.

With all the embarrassing stories that continue to surface about John Travolta's alleged gay tendencies, I am starting to believe that coming out could only help his reputation. The latest tale finds him openly flirting with a waiter—courtesy of the National Enquirer: "When John learned his studly server was an aspiring actor, he asked what projects he'd worked on, who represented him, etc.—and then flashed that award-winning smile and asked, 'Could you give me your phone number? I might be able to help you out'. The waiter told me it really bothered him that Kelly never even looked up at him—not once!" Well, you know, she is a Method actress!

Didya know Calvin Klein's latest boytoy, Nick Gruber/Aaron Skyline, almost appeared in Playgirl? Editor Daniel Nardicio said, "I had contacted him a long time ago about posing in Playgirl, before he was outed as a porn star. I kept trying to meet up with him and he kept blowing me off, with monosyllabic texts, yet he said he'd do Playgirl as long as he got the cover. Finally, in frustration I texted him to forget it, and he came back with 'You only want me because of my fame, so you can go fuck yourself.' To that I told him that in three years when Klein tired of blowing him, he'd be just another bottle blond looking for work, so he should be more respectful of people trying to give him work. He then texted, 'Calvin is my partner—you don't understand because you don't have that. I am famous now, and people want me for my fame, and you should be careful 'cause of the people I know and what they could do to you.'" People want him for his fame? Really? WHO IS HE? A gay porn star/hustler who's trading sex for cash and reconstructive plastic surgery. I'm sorry, but I think it's about time someone called a whore a whore. He may not be in Playgirl but he's on BillyMasters.com . Come and get me...

Our "Ask Billy" question comes from Jeremy in San Diego: "You always know who the hottest men are. So what do you know about Nick Youngquest? I think he's an athlete, but I saw him in an underwear ad and WOOF!"

Nick Youngquest is an Australian rugby player—but, of course, we don't care about that. In 2006, he posed for the Naked Rugby League Calendar, which raised money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. His shot as Mr. June 2007 immediately became a sensation as he was completely naked with his manhood partially covered by a strategically placed forearm. He was chastised by the National Rugby League, who said, "It's something we feel the publishers went too far with." Youngquest, however, had no problem with the nudity and said, "It is for a good cause, so, if it stirs any controversy, so be it." He has continued to stir all sorts of emotions in us with his second career as a male model. Cover shoots for gay magazines such as Attitude, Têtu and DNA followed, and he's enjoyed showing off even more of his body. ( Our eagle eyes detect a sign of circumcision. ) While not gay, he actively courts the attention ( and affection ) of the gay community. This past year, he indulged in some semi-flirtatious banter via Twitter with openly gay rugby player Gareth Thomas. The boys even took some photos when they met in a locker room. A variety of photos of Nick with Gareth and alone will be posted on BillyMasters.com .

When we're showing so much interest in sports, it's definitely time for me to end yet another column. Finally, I'm back in the States and spending a week ( or two ) frolicking in Florida. But I'm always updating www.BillyMasters.com—a site for sore eyes. If you have any questions, drop a note to me at Billy@BillyMasters.com, and I promise to get back to you before Travolta makes a reservation at that chilly Chinese restaurant! So, until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.
