When Realities Collide… Liza’s Gay Shoulder… Queer TV Deals
from out.com
If you want to see all of today’s reality television stars, you don’t need to turn on your TV—just head over to Here Lounge in West Hollywood. Friday night you couldn’t serve an apple martini without bumping into a reality celeb. Bachelor James from Boy Meets Boy walked into the place with his TV best bud, Andra, while holding the hand of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Jai Rodriguez (we hear they’re “just friends”). It seems James was there to meet with one of his show’s contestants, Brian H., who works part-time at the trendy WeHo watering hole. In the meantime, at the front bar, AMC’s Gay Hollywood’s Benjamin Morgan (featured in the August issue of Out) was marveling at the abundance of reality (“It’s really strange,” he told Out.com) in relative anonymity: his reality-style documentary premieres this week.
Openly gay BBC talk-show host Graham Norton is continuing to play a supporting role in the Liza Minnelli–David Gest marital split. According to a report in London’s Sunday Mirror, Liza and Graham have become close over the past couple of years, and she “has been seeking comfort and advice” from him. Too bad Norton didn’t stop Gest from telling his TV audience Liza had become “hugely fat” during an illness last year. At the time the shocked host responded, “I can’t believe you are saying that about your lovely wife!” Apparently, neither could Liza.
Out producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan have signed a deal with Revolution Studios to produce two films for the company. Revolution could use the producers’ magic touch—its “big” summer movies were the dismal Hollywood Homicide and Gigli.…Looks like the world is about to get a lot more gay, as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has been licensed internationally to the United Kingdom and Scandinavia so the countries there can produce local versions of the makeover show. No word on whether Carson Kressley is available for cameos.
