Big Brother

Post-op trans woman and Iraq veteran Jan Hamilton may be joining the cast of Britain's Big Brother. One pal describes Hamilton as a "real trooper." Get it!? [Telegraph]

Big Brother contestant "Crazy James'" gay porn past keeps haunting. Gay Socialites snagged an interview with drag queen Miss Epiphany, who made out with James in his Dirty Boy video. Said interview doesn't reveal much, but does give the reader a view into Epiphany's definitive sexual definitions: "Anyone who sucks dick can no longer be considered straight. Even if a guy is into drag queens or trannies, a dick is a dick." How true… [Gay Socialites]

Former Big Brother contestant Kent Blackwelder filed a $4 million lawsuit against porn promoting Specialty Publications after his "curious" (read: nosy) daughter opened a gay porn mailing. The "curious" girl thought the package was from Disney and both father and daughter were "shocked, disgusted and enraged" by the true contents: Titan Men's Farm Fresh. [365 Gay]

Big Brother may have made a bit of a boo-boo in casting its love connection cluster fuck, which featured two gays until last week. One of the "straight" contestants has a - gasp! - gay porn past. There's really nothing more to say except that first link ain't NSFW. Oh, and note red-hue of a slapped ass. [Ohnotheydidn't via Gawker]

You're about to be spoiled: one of Big Brother's two gays left the show last night. We're absolutely devastated - that we don't care at all. [AfterElton]

Brazilian 'Big Brother' Comes Out
Can The World Handle Another Hot Homo Brazilian?

A Brazilian Big Brother contestant confirmed rumors that he digs dudes:

A 31-year-old psychiatrist competing on the wildly popular "Big Brother Brasil 8" ended a week of rabid speculation by acknowledging he is gay. Marcelo, from Uberaba in the southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, came out to another contestant this week — making headlines throughout the country.

"I am a normal person," he said, but came clean when Thalita asked if he had a boyfriend at the moment. "Everyone knows now, so I can talk. There is someone who fills my heart," Marcelo replied.

Marcelo had attempted to deflect rumors earlier in the week, but reversed course and released a statement saying, "I know that many will condemn me for coming out, but I don't fear something so natural. God made me this way, and I have pride in myself."

Happy Endings: The Day America Got Posh
Plus, More Bawdy Brits!

Victoria Beckham's self-referential Victoria Beckham: Coming To America airs tonight on NBC. And apparently it's really, really boring. The Spice Girls' feud with Eddie Murphy, however, is not - boring, that is. Okay, it's a little boring.

• Meanwhile, NBC took pity on ABC-lashing Isaiah Washington and offered him a spot on The Bionic Woman. Of the deal, Washington remarks, I am grateful and honored by NBC's belief in me, and I am looking forward to getting back to work." Enjoy your second chance, Washington, and don't fuck it up.

• In somewhat related news, Black Entertainment Television has been getting flack for it's new show, Hot Ghetto Mess. The Viacom-owned network says stereotypical, unflattering images of black people will spur "self-reflection". We can't help but wonder if gays need one, too. Oh, wait, we forgot about William Sledd and his new web show.

'Big Brother' Boy's Big Admission

This year's Big Brother may be the gayest in history - even gayer than Britain's, which propelled one house mate out of the closet.

Now, we're not big fans of either the American or the British version, so we'll take Towleroad's word for it - not only does this season of the CBS reality show feature to gay ex-lovers who loathe one another (they always do), but there's also a tantalizing "straight" former (American) footballer, Nick Starcevic, who admits he's sucked dick. We hate to admit it, but we totally fell into the straight acting fantasy and think it's hot.

Above you'll see one of the admitted gays' (a cute little thing named Joe) drooling over Nick, who seems to love the attention. Good thing he's now got all of Gayville watching his every muscular move.

(As a side note, are we the only ones not surprised this Starcevic character once worked at Abercrombie and Fitch? We bet he's a pig bottom.)

'Big Brother' Boy Loving All For Show?

British Big Brother contestant Seany O'Kane made many-a-headline after cuddling and smooching with fellow contestant Gerry Stergiopoulos. Now that 25-year old O'Kane's been booted, however, his father says he ain't gay.

My son's not gay, it was all a game plan. But sadly it was one that backfired on him. I know he kissed Gerry but he is not gay. He was doing it for the cameras. Our boy is always up to tricks. He was playing on the “being gay” thing.

Maybe daddy had a case of the denials, because Seany insists, however, he's the real lavender deal:

I spoke to my father on the phone within hours of coming out of the house. It was a very emotional call I told him it was true I was gay and he said he was proud of me.

Hey, if you're going to come out, might as well come out on national television…

Check out the infamous kiss, after the jump…

'Big Brother's Big Gay Kiss

Britain's Big Brother grabs homo headlines once again. The trapped televised housemates got down and dirty with a little game of Truth or Dare. As the truths turned into dares, all the roomies locked lips, including gay duo Gerry Stergiopoulos and Seany O’Kane - a first for the long-running show.

Not surprisingly, there's been a bit of an outcry over the action. One article on the matter even comes with a warning, "This article contains language and/or sexual references that younger readers are advised to avoid."

Gay 'Big Brother' Brouhaha

Some Brits have their panties in a twist after Big Brother showed two gay men in bed last night.

The men, Gerry Stergiopoulos and Seany O'Kane, were lying side by side, stroking one another's hair, hugging and let their hands "wander". Pretty tame behavior, yes, but not according to dozens of viewers, who called Channel 4 to complain.

One viewer, a woman named Angie griped:

It was on at 6.30 in the evening when my daughter was watching. It’s not the kind of thing you want people to see. [My daughter] said: ‘Ugh, look at that, Mummy.’ I mean, why are they showing that? They should have turned the cameras off.

Oh, please, it's not like they were rimming one another.

Responding to the criticism, Stergiopoulos said that viewers are pissed the men weren't pissing on one another:

They want a gay bitch fight but they’re not getting one. On this show the gay men never get along. But we are cool. We even share a bed.

It's true - people would much rather see queers clawing than pawing.

As Britain's Big Brother gears up for yet another season of voyeuristic television, rumors have been circulating that show will feature not one, but two men of the homosexual variety. 24 dash reports:

Stephen Ireland and James Joell are set to enter the infamous house in 12 days, and reportedly want to make history by becoming the first same-sex lovers to wed on a live reality TV show.

The couple auditioned for the 8th series of Channel 4's Big Brother in February, dressing as a bride and groom and were thrilled when they heard producers plan to have a real on-screen wedding.

A source said: "It's their dream to be the first couple to marry on TV. I hope they manage it - they'll be forever remembered as pioneers."

Producers will neither confirm nor deny that the butt boys will appear on the show.

We hope they are, because we just stumbled across the queer cut-ups' website and we have to say we're in love. Watch the video above and tell us you didn't fall in love. C'mon, we dare you!
