"I want to find a man, but it's hard with all the traveling I do. I really want to start going on dates and I've asked my friends to set me up with a good man—if they can find one."—Susan Boyle thinks she's single because of her busy travel schedule. Yeah, that's why.

We often hear "everything old is new again," but I never expected this saying would pertain to gay marriage. Records from the Christian church indicate that quite a few same-sex unions were performed as early as 100 AD. They're sure of the year because Joan Rivers was the flower girl! Back then, marriage was apparently less about procreating and more about sharing property and money—imagine that! So much for people arguing that same-sex marriage will forever change the definition of marriage. Seems like it's changed a few times already.

The pope also appears to have some ideas contrary to popular Catholic rhetoric. After celebrating a mass on Copacabana Beach in Rio, he was asked by reporters about gay priests. His answer was, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge him?" When specifically asked about gay marriage, he said, "You know perfectly well the position of the church." These two statements kinda tell me that he may not be on the same page as the church. He better be careful—the last Pope who didn't toe the line ended up with a toe tag!

As I've said for eons, with gay marriage comes gay divorce. Last week, it was Jane Lynch. This week, it's Cheyenne Jackson. The sexy star of stage, screen and television had been with partner Monte Lapka for 11 years before they got married in 2011. After a source told reporters that the couple had been living separate lives, Cheyenne's rep released a statement: "Cheyenne Jackson and his husband Monte Lapka have mutually decided to divorce. It is an amicable parting and, understandably, a private matter." Since private matters had already been discussed publicly, Cheyenne chatted with SiriusXM host Frank DeCaro about reports that he was in AA: "I started my recovery last summer and it became something I really wanted to focus on in my life, and repairing relationships with my family and such. So this is a really strong, beautiful time for me, personally. It also is a very sad time because I'm going through a divorce. But, yeah, I mean you know, some members of my family didn't even know I was in Alcoholics Anonymous. So that was pretty f*cked-up to have people find out that way."

Sexy Jay Manuel was a guest co-host on The View last week and for the first time spoke openly about his sexual orientation. Not surprisingly, he's gay. What took me aback is that he's been in a relationship for the past 19 years and got married last year. We don't know much about his partner except that his name is Alton Johnson and he's a VP at Pfizer. Oh, and we do have some photos of them which we'll post on BillyMasters.com .

Anderson Cooper has a stalker, and he's one of those scary stalkers. Alex Hausner is a self-described gay, Jewish, white supremacist who is also a former psychiatric patient—sounds like Andy hit the stalker trifecta. For the past five years, Hausner has been obsessed with Coop and last month he was arrested when he attempted to break into the newscaster's apartment. Security footage shows him kicking on the door screaming, "I'm going to f*ck you up"—which under different circumstances might have been appealing. In court, Hausner claims that Andy and Cooper's beau, Benjamin Maisani, have actually been pursuing him. "I can prove from my sources that his boyfriend has sent people after me. He's a thug and a mongrel," Hausner said. Be that as it may, Hausner is being held in lieu of $75K bail and is awaiting trial for felony first-degree menacing and misdemeanor harassment and stalking.

Our "Ask Billy" question comes from Lars in Milwaukee: "You've said you're a big Y&R ['Young and the Restless'] fan. How could you not have written about Carmine, the mega-hot guy who has been terrorizing Lauren? He's absolutely gorgeous. Is he related to Joe Manganiello? They look like they could be brothers."

Since Big Mama Masters is a devotee of CBS soaps, I grew up always having them on in the house. When I first moved to L.A., I became friends with many Y&R castmates—including the ageless Tracey E. Bregman. During her decades on the soap, her character of Lauren has been tormented by many people, but none as stunning as Carmine, played by Marco Dapper. He's not related to Joe Manganiello, but I understand the comparison. You might recognize Dapper from his previous work, most notably Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds. In this flick, he not only had gay sex, but he also showed all. If you think he's impressive from the waist up, wait till you see him from the waist down—he'd make Jeff Stryker jealous. And you can see every inch of him on BillyMasters.com .

Could it be that a certain ravenous and randy lad has posted his privates online? So say sources who claim that the mysterious member was liberated to land the single guy some no-strings-attached fun. The photo of his impressive appendage also confirms that the carpet does indeed match the drapes—at least the drapes that God gave him.

When I'm featuring a blind item who is straight but not narrow, it's definitely time to end yet another column. Naturally, the photo of the mystery penis will pop up on www.BillyMasters.com, the site that never holds anything back. Well, I did hesitate to mention rumors of Cheyenne already having a new beau out in WeHo. But, like the Pope, who am I to judge? Of course, that won't stop me from sharing my opinion on virtually any topic. Just send your questions along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Cooper's stalker gets cast on Y&R! Until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.
