"I would definitely be open to it. It seems appropriate, seeing as I was part of the birth and the initial success of the show, to bring me back for the final season. But we'll see if there's interest there."—Jesse Metcalfe puts the word out there that he's available to appear in the final season of Desperate Housewives. I have a feeling there's not much interest.

I was recently in a Burger King when I was recognized by the cashier, who identified themselves to me as a fan and a transgender person. While I'm always glad to meet a fan, I want to say something that will be considered politically incorrect—would it be too much to ask someone who is in transition to make it clear exactly which sex that person is transitioning to and from? I had absolutely no idea which way this cashier, Tony (or Toni), was going. But either way, I'm happy that a fan is able to serve up a Whopper with pride. You go, girl ... er, guy...

Leave it to the domestic version of Dancing with the Stars to trump all other international versions. Sure, we've had a gay competitor with Lance Bass. However, Israel and Austria had openly gay competitors dancing with same-sex partners. So what did the U.S. do? Find a transgender competitor, naturally. If this was a couple of years ago, it could have been the lovely and talented Candis Cayne who was, at the time, a member of the ABC family. But she's back in nightclubs so we have someone considered a huge "get"—Chaz Bono. When this was announced, the ABC website was flooded with negative comments from the more conservative members of the viewing audience. This prompted Cher to tweet her support, condemn the haters and express her pride at Chaz's courage, although she admitted that "Chaz isn't exactly the 'Gotta Dance Gotta Dance' kinda guy." That was my first reaction because, let's face it, Chaz doesn't exactly seem ... well, "graceful." But I'm willing to give him a chance.

Someone very interested in getting to know Chaz is fellow competitor David Arquette: "I'm just looking forward to having some time where I can just sit and talk to him 'cause Alexis, my sister, is transgender and I grew up with her and I saw some of the struggles she had." Interestingly enough, prior to Alexis' surgery, she was quite close with Elijah Blue—Cher's other child. But if you ask David who he thinks will be the fiercest competitor, it's Rob Kardashian: "The thing about Rob is—and a lot of people don't know this—but he's got a great ass just like his sister. I'm serious. Once you see it, his ass is fantastic. And I really think it's going to be a secret weapon." That may not be the best weapon to use in light of the fact that sister Kim was voted off on the third week!

Being on a reality show seems to be a prerequisite for posing nude in Playgirl. The magazine recently pursued Rob Kardashian and offered him $45,000 for a nude pictorial—with an additional $15K if he got hard. My God: I must have earned at least half a mil last night on the dance floor. Be that as it may, Kardashian declined and went for "Dancing." On that show, he'll be paid roughly $150K for the first two weeks ... and that's before you include the tips he might make from Bruno (double if he gets hard).

So Playgirl went to its next choice—Joey Kovar, who was on The Real World: Hollywood. Kovar will be featured on the cover and centerfold of the next issue, which comes out on Sept. 13. We hear the mag only paid him $20,000 for the spread, which is still quite a princely sum for someone who was on a show back in 2008 (although more recently he was on Celebrity Rehab). As someone who has already seen his spread, let me be so indelicate to say I'd dock him $15K right off the bat. Also, perhaps a bit less shaving and a bit more dieting would have been in order—but why wait another week when you can see all on BillyMasters.com?

On Sept. 19, there will be a special one-night-only reading of Dustin Lance Black's new play based on the Prop 8 hearing, which is simply called 8. The Broadway reading, which is a benefit for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, will star people like Morgan Freeman, Anthony Edwards, Christine Lahti, Marisa Tomei, Rob Reiner, John Lithgow and Bradley Whitford. Oh, it will also star Cheyenne Jackson and Matthew Bomer, who will play the real-life couple who initiated the suit. You can get tickets and information at Afer.org . But we will take this opportunity to show pics of Matt making out with his ex-boyfriend at BillyMasters.com .

Rather than squeeze in an "Ask Billy" question, we're gonna respond to the many e-mails about various photos of hot males. First up is Oscar de la Hoya. Back in 2007, I ran numerous photos of him in a variety of fishnet stockings, female undergarments, and other gender-bending attire (and showing some of his "junk"). At the time, he said the pics were Photoshopped and sold to the tabloids by an exotic dancer who later sued him. Now he has come clean and admitted the photos were real (quelle surprise). He blames his questionable behavior on cocaine and alcohol—funny because when I'm high and drunk, the last thing I wanna do is put ON clothes! The downside to his revelation is that he's been dumped as ambassador for Tres Generaciones tequila. On the positive side, you can see the pics on BillyMasters.com .

While you're on our website, you'll want to check out the new photos of Rafael Nadal winched into Armani briefs.

Lastly, you can also see the first photos of sexy Henry Cavill in his Superman costume—rippling and bulging in all of the right areas of BillyMasters.com .

When I'm reveling in reality rejects' rumps, it's definitely time to end yet another column. One more fun filled week in South Florida and then I'm bound for Hollywood. Well, I was bound here too ... but that's another story. One that quite possibly could turn up on www.BillyMasters.com, the site that knows no bounds! If you've got a question or perhaps a juicy tip, drop a note to me at Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Oscar and Rafael compare panty lines! So, until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.
