Christian Siriano
Recently Bashed By Trucker, Brad Walsh Takes On Yuengling

Oh no! We got some very distressing news from photographer and friend of Queerty Brad Walsh.

The Brooklyn-based homo went on an adventure in SoHo last week when an irate trucker decided to lay the anti-gay smack down. Walsh, who dates Project Runway’s Christian Siriano, summarizes: I was crossing Spring Street completely legally at the intersection of 6th Avenue. A delivery truck driven by a guy on a cell phone was turning and almost hit me and another guy. Me and the other guy put our hands up like “what are you doing,” but we didn’t say or mouth anything to the driver. The driver (jacked) got out, followed me down the street (not the other guy), called me a “faggot” several times, punched me really hard in the jaw, knocked my stuff onto the sidewalk, and went back to his truck. Down but definitely not out, Walsh wrote down the truck’s info and advertised company: Yuengling, the popular beer company based out of Philadelphia.

Did Christian Siriano Take “Tranny Mess” One Step Too Far?

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano went from being gay media darling to GLBT nemesis in an instant after he compared transsexuals – the butt of his signature “hot tranny mess” line – and drag queens to the “white trash” of the straight community.

This week’s Time Out New York asked Siriano: “Drag has always been part of our experience and always will be. What is its everlasting appeal? Why won’t it ever die?”

He replied: “If you think of heterosexuals, they have white-trash women and trailer parks, and we have drag queens and trannies. I don’t know if I’m the one who can explain it. It’s, like, drag queens are just there. These answers are … Continued…

NewNowNext Awards Bring Out Big, Gay Names

The gayest of the gay turned out last night for the NewNowNext awards.

Host Candis Cayne and Cindi Lauper made quite a duo, while Noah’s Arc’s Jensen Atwood cut an attractive rug, as usual. Christian Siriano and Jack Mackenroth of Project Runway were both in attendance, as was singer Leona Lewis, who won the Next International Crossover award. The rest of last night’s winners, meanwhlie, can be viewed here.

The show airs on June 7th on Logo, which means that you (yes, you) can still vote online. Which you should, because democracy rules!

Siriano’s Pretty On Ugly

Living gay legend and Project Runway winner Christian Siriano made a regrettably brief appearance on last night’s Ugly Betty. And, yes, he was the f-word.

Never-Ending.

Is there no end to Project Runway designer Christian Siriano’s far-reaching celebrity? The fashionable homo has signed on to design prom dresses for a “virtual community.” [Gaia]

Publicist Tries, Fails To Sell Us Water

Remember last week, when we babbled about our big gay night out and mentioned ditching our TrimWater, which we received in the Fashion Cares gift bag? No? Here’s what we wrote: “…We did get a gift bag, which was clearly suited for our media credentials: shampoo, a gym membership and something called ‘TrimWater,’ which we were too scared to even carry.”

Well, TrimWater’s publicist came across our little blurb and wrote us the following note:
I saw that you found the TrimWater in your gift bags – but don’t be scared!

It’s actually a great tasting low-cal, low-sugar flavored water.

Chris Wile of the Fashion Cares board told me at the event that he was chugging it as they prepped for the evening and it helped him skip dinner! Also, Christian Siriano and Carson Kressly [sic] loved it and we recently sent some product to Perez Hilton at his own request!

On top of that, 10% of all online TrimWater purchases through the summer go directly to Fashion Cares.

I attached a press release and a picture of Christian in all his fabulous glory.

So give it a try, don’t be afraid and get ready to fit into some new leather pants for next year’s event….. Oh, unnamed publicist, there are so many things wrong with this missive.

First and foremost, we do not aspire to be like Perez Hilton or Carson Kressley. On the contrary. Second, we don’t wear leather pants. They’re tacky. And, on a related note, we don’t need to lose weight. We just need fatter friends.

Read the aforementioned - and outdated - press release, after the jump…

Oh, What A Night…

Last night may have been the gayest in our New York history. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but things were pretty lavender from the get-go.

Christian Siriano Finally Retires ‘Fierce’

Uber-gay Project Runway winner Christian Siriano sat down with Craig Ferguson yesterday. And, while we can’t say for sure, we’d like to think that our pleas helped fuel his disavowal of “fierce,” which threatened to undo our nation.

Not one to be without a catch phrase - or, rather, word - Siriano announced to the world that he’ll now use the word “expired,” as in “fierce is expired”.

Child’s Play

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano will hand out “Fierce Fashion Awards” at Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards.

The network’s so thrilled that supervising producer Ryan Patterson has started talking in Siriano speak: Christian is fierce, fabulous and ferosh and he is a pop culture catchphrase machine. He also really knows fashion - he’s a style stud who will standout on the carpet with his one-of-a-kind hairdo and electric personality and most importantly, he’ll be able to spot out whose fashion is a ‘hot mess’ and whose fashion is ‘fierce.’ Alright, Siriano, we love you, but your pop culture presence has now officially neutered “fierce”. Can you please come up with a new catch phrase … Continued…

Bow Down.

HRC Ally Awards Pics: Sensationalized!

Did someone forget to take their disco nap? Neil Patrick Harris didn’t look very pleased during the photo call for HRC’s Ally Awards last night.

Meanwhile, George Takei’s sudden case of permasmile left guests wondering about his acting future, to which Takei replied, “I guess I’ll just have to be type cast: gay!”

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano seemed the gayest to be there. Speaking of smile happy PR alums, why did WireImage credit designer Nick Verreos as an “actor”. Even more importantly: what would Shakespeare say about reality shows?

HRC also wrangled wild woman Judith Light for last night’s Ally Awards. The Ugly Betty actress seemed randy as ever and got rather cozy with Point Foundation’s Jorge Valencia. Hot new couple alert? Speaking of hot couple - check out Ricki Lake’s diamond earrings. We’re not crying, baby!

Old friend and Ally honoree Anne Hathaway loomed large over HRC honcho, Joe Solmonese, who later gave Miss California Raquel Beezley a bit of a squeeze at the actual ceremony. Do we smell another political sex scandal?

The always handsome John Amaechi also joined the fun and Thea Gill flaunted her seamless skin. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a gay event until Wilson Cruz starts the so-called party. Thus it was done…

See the pictures - in that order - after the jump…

Brit’s Televised Return

Now, now, don’t be frightened. Britney Spears won’t be singing on television, but, rather, making a guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother, which stars homo Neil Patrick Harris. Spears’ last acting gig was on Will & Grace. Could it be that Christian Siriano will get his wish? [MG

Walsh, Siriano All Smiles At Photo Show

Things were oh-so-hip at photographer Brad Walsh’s apartment this weekend. The ever-jubilant Walsh, pictured above with Project Runway winning boyfriend, Christian Siriano, invited a few hundred friends into his Park Slope pad to view his first portrait collection, Cameo.

Walsh’s pals at Junk-Mag shot some shots of the madness, including one of editor Andrew Belonsky with Mollygood’s Cord Jefferson, a lovely image of Sophia Lamar getting incoherent and some random hottie we think would make a beautiful Morning Goods candidate…

See the rest of the snaps here.

Siriano Wants Gays To Save Spears

Now that he’s won Project Runway, Christian Siriano’s got a new mission: save Britney Spears. Via AfterElton:
AE: I read in an interview with you that you said you wanted to save Britney Spears because she needs the gays.
CS: [laughing] She does. I know.

AE: Tell me what you’d do.
CS: Oh, my god. Listen, have you ever noticed Britney has no gays? She has no little fairies running around helping her. I don’t understand that.

AE: I know.
CS: It’s really horrible. Now I said to a producer once that I wanted to do a reality show called Project Britney instead of Project Runway, where I would take Britney for the next six months and … Continued…

Fierce!?

Christian Siriano took the top prize on Bravo’s Project Runway last night. What do you think, readers, did this pint-sized cutie deserve to win?

Also, on a related note, are you as in love with Siriano as we are? Too bad he’s dating occasional Queerty photographer, Brad Walsh. Damn you, Walsh! Damn you…
