"Studio questions the appeal of Jodie Foster's Beaver."Headline in a trade magazine regarding the upcoming Mel Gibson flick, The Beaver. I'm surprised it's a question.
Didya all watch the royal wedding? I bet if it was Harry getting married, you would have all been glued to the telly. However, this was William's day and I thought he looked dashing. OK, so there's his hair, but someday he'll be able to cover the crown of his headwith a crown! Not a bad trade-off. I thought Harry's uniform was a bit "busy"like he was a drum majorette ... or perhaps an extra in a Pink video. Then there's Kate Middleton, who we heard wanted to do her own makeup "so that he'll be able to recognize me coming down the aisle." Honey, he couldn't miss you. Is there any blush left in the British Isles? It was like watching a wedding on Telemundo (no offense). Maybe she also did her mother's makeupeither that or Mrs. Middleton is quite a fan of the mascara!
Kate's brother, James, and sister, Pippa, appear to have gotten a two-for-one special at the tanning salonbut who am I to criticize that? Since we've mentioned James, let's tackle those rumors head on. Could it be that James is, perhaps, a fan of this column? It sure seems to be what the overseas press is insinuating. If so, we'll send him a little wave while telling the rest of you about him. Although his parents and Pippa run a party planning company, James (who I doubt has a future in public speaking) runs his own bakery and designs cakes for a living. How "regal." We've also unearthed a number of questionable photos of Jamesranging from him slipping into some of Kate's dresses to slipping out of all of his clothes! Of course, we'll share all with you at BillyMasters.com .
Back to the weddingregardless of what else was happening, my eyes were glued to Queen Elizabeth, and it seems to me she may have dozed off at least once. When her head bounced back up, she started flipping through her program and whispered something to Prince Philip, which may have been, "Where the fuck are we?" All that aside, everything appeared to go off without a hitch. I'm told even the after-party at Buckingham Palace was a smashing success. I'm no expert on royal protocol, but I don't believe it's standard for the best man to refer to the maid of honor with the phrase "Hit it and quit it" in his toast. Must be a British thing.
There had to be some salacious side to this otherwise austere event, and leave it to the British tabloids to run photos of Prince William at a friend's 21st birthday party in 2002. The headlines stated, "Prince William gyrates on stage in boxer shorts and feather boa," so you know those photos will also turn up on BillyMasters.com . There's one other thing notable about the Prince nine years agoback then he had a full head of hair!
You may have seen Elton John and David Furnish at the royal wedding. However, days earlier, the twosome was in New York City for the opening night of Larry Kramer's play The Normal Heart on Broadway. Elton and David were so moved that they are talking about bringing the show to London. Furnish called the play "an astonishing, emotionally compelling piece of writing and a moving, fantastic piece of theatre that the younger generation needs to see. Elton and I are focused on making sure they do. We would both like to make the production as widely seen as possible, and that includes helping fund and mount future versions of it wherever we can." He also revealed that it was the original production 25 years ago that spurred Elton to focus his fundraising efforts on fighting AIDS, which included founding the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Although the play is now making its Broadway debut, it played London's West End in 1986 for three months starring Martin Sheen, John Shea and Tom Hulce.
Logo's reality show The A-List is preparing for the upcoming season with a number of changes, both large and small. Regarding the flagship New York cast, we can reveal that Reichen and Rodiney have indeed broken up, but will both continue to be a part of the show. Also, there's been an addition to the castNyasha Zimucha. Press material states that she's a recording artist of some kind and was a judge on Little Miss Perfect, a WE TV series about kiddie pageants that I somehow missed. Concerning the L.A. cast, I'm told that three of the previously announced cast members have been dumped due to "creative differences." That's show biz.
Is anyone out there watching 90210? No? Then you missed mega-hot Trevor Donovan hooking up with the equally sexy Alan Ritchson. Yes, two gorgeous guys who have modeled underwear got together on network TV (well, The CW). Ritchson played a former classmate who Donovan always had a crush on. They reunite, Trev comes out and Alan ... well, he takes the bull by the horns, as it were. You can see all at BillyMasters.com .
If you watched the premiere episode of The Voice, you heard a familiar onethat of Frenchie Davis. Of course, faithful fans of this column already knew Frenchie would appear courtesy of a blind item I wrote weeks ago. I was sworn to secrecy about her involvement on the show, but couldn't be happier to see my paland a strong supporter of our communityget a chance to strut her stuff on national television!
Another former American Idol contestant is also the subject of this week's "Ask Billy" question. Sean in Sacramento writes, "What do you know about Jovany? He was in the Top 24 on 'Idol' this season. He's totally gorgeous and someone told me he's posted some nude photos online. Is this true?"
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the lovely Jovany Barreto hasn't posed nakedat least not completely naked. He has, however, taken quite a number of shirtless pics of himself, which have fallen into our hot little hands (which ain't so little, by the by). You can check him out at BillyMasters.com .
When we can run the gamut of new royalty to ousted Idols, it's definitely time to end yet another column. Billy's taking a bit of a rest (and dealing with some dental distress), but one place that never disappoints is www.BillyMasters.com . If you've got a questionor perhaps access to some painkillersdo drop a note to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before we get photos of James Middleton in Kate's wedding dress (or Pippa's!)! Until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.
