"That's not to say I wouldn't like a penis. I really would like one and I hope that someday I will get one."Chaz Bono discusses a goal for the future. Just what I needsomeone else looking for a hot dick.
Since I've been embroiled in a spirited game of "I'll Show You," I had lots of free time during my lengthy stay in Florida. Therefore, I was able to accept the dinner invitation of a very handsome man. Like most things lately, it didn't go as planned. The man in question was some 10 to 15 years older than mewhich, using Wikipedia and some rough conversions from the metric system, places him somewhere between 55 and death. Fine. But he acted a good 10 years older than that. As we all know, I've yet to act (or dress) my age. At some point, I became acutely aware of this 30-year gap. I believe it was when he picked me up for dinner at 4:30!
Sometimes we rush to get a story out and then something happens that I wish I could have included. Such is the case with a recent item that mentioned sexy Cheyenne Jackson. Within hours of filing my report, Cheyenne was in the Hamptons getting married to his longtime partner, Monte Lapka. Last summer, the couple had registered as domestic partners and had a commitment ceremony. But with gay marriage now legal in New York, there weren't any obstacles to a real wedding. He shared the news via Twitter (of course) by saying, "It's official, after 11 years together, Zora's no longer a bastard. Just married the best man I've ever known." By the way, Zora is the couple's dog ... who they often refer to as their daughter. She has Cheyenne's eyes.
Sometimes I'm psychic. I reported that Hugh Jackman was considering a limited Broadway run of his solo concert. Hours after my story hits the street, it was confirmed. From Oct. 25 through Dec. 20 (a date I'm sure is not cast in stone), Jackman will appear with an 18-piece orchestra at Broadway's Broadhurst Theater.
We previous told you about the upcoming production of A Streetcar Named Desire, which is slated to star Blair Underwood this spring. Now we can tell you that Nicole Ari Parker will play Blanche and Daphne Rubin-Vega will play Stella. The revival is being produced by Front Row Productions, the same people who produced the all-Black version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 2008. Next up, Kathleen Turner as Rosa Parks!
Creative casting is not limited to Broadway. Oh, no. The North Shore Music Theatre has announced its upcoming production of The King and I will star Lorenzo Lamas as the eponymous King (unless he's playing Mrs. Anna). When you call for tickets, be sure to also specify chicken or fish.
You all know that Darren Criss will take over the lead in How To Succeed in Business for three weeks once Daniel Radcliffe departs Jan. 1. But who will replace Criss? Nick Jonas, that's whoand he'll stick around till June. This marks Nick's return to the Great White Way after playing roles in Annie Get Your Gun, Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables. I always had a feeling he was a thespian.
You all know that Gay Days at Disneyland will be happening Sept. 30-Oct. 2. I've already told you that Frenchie Davis will be singing her little heart out at the super-duper Kingdom party Oct. 1. But did you know that the next day I'll likely appear in a Speedo at the Plunge pool party? I'm sure that grabbed your attention. (I'm hoping for some grabbing) But say you want something a bit less ... risqué. Then you're in luck. The legendary Carol Channing will also be appearing Oct. 2 (most likely not in a bathing suit) for an "Intimate Conversation" at the Grand Californian Hotel. Proceeds will benefit her foundation which is working to get arts back into schools, a worthy cause if ever there was one. She'll also be taking questions from the audience and plugging her upcoming CDCarol Channing: True to the Red, White & Blue, which features patriotic ditties I believe she learned during the Civil War. All of this information can be found on www.GayDaysAnaheim.com .
Some people on the Fan Forum at BillyMasters.com were discussing Tom Hardy in the film Bronson. Hardy, best known for his role in Inception,"really went out of his way to transform his body to portray one of Britain's most notorious prisoners. While it was an impressive acting job (which won him the British Independent Film Award for Best Actor), most of my readers were taken with his bodyevery inch of which is on display. One person quipped, "There's nothing like a naked muscular man being subdued by prison guards." Well, if that isn't a stellar recommendation, I don't know what is. I'll post pics and a clip of this subdued scene on BillyMasters.com .
Our "Ask Billy" question comes from Corey in London: "I just went to West End Bareswhich is like Broadway Bares in the States. LOVED IT! What do you know about the hot guy from Priscilla? Amazing bod!!"
I had forgotten West End Bares was last week. This event was the brainchild of my dear friend, Darren Carnall. It started last year when he was in the cast of the West End production of Legally Blondewhich was directed by Jerry Mitchell, who started Broadway Bares. This inspired Darren to organize West End Bares and raise money for the Make a Difference Trust (similar to Broadway Cares). Last year was such a huge hit, it returned this year to London's Café de Paris and raised in excess of $70K. Amongst the hunky participants was Oliver Thorntonone of the sexy stars of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. He plays the same part Nick Adams is doing on Broadway and, with all due respect to the lovely Nicky, Oliver is indeed amazing. I'd caution you to crank up the air conditioner before heading over to BillyMasters.comwe'll be sharing some pretty steamy videos and photos from the event (focusing on the lovely Oliver and, of course, my dear Darren).
When Brits are showing off their West Ends, it's definitely time for me to end yet another column. It's been a while since I played "I'll Show You." These days, it seems you've won when you have to change your marital status on Facebook to "Single" and your partner's page is blocked. But that's OK because you can always see www.BillyMasters.com, the site that's always available. To take advantage of my availability, just send an e-mail to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before my dinner date with Carol Channing! Until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.
