When we last saw the lady-loving fag-rag editor, he defended himself against rumors that he was spending time with a buxom Penthouse model. Boulton admitted chilling with the chick, but insists his heart lies with his recently reconciled wife, Claire, who bore him two children. Today, however, some "sources" tell Page Six that Boulton's been carrying on with his children's nanny, who's shacked up in Boulton's former bachelor pad. Boulton denies he's diddling the help, and points the fingers at his coworkers at HX magazine, whose corporate owner, Window Media hopes Boulton can help save from certain doom. I do think I have annoyed gay folks, even though I have been riskily honest about all of my proclivities, including women… And I was recently hired as a consultant to re-launch HX, a small free bar magazine, which shares Genre offices. I made major changes there and believe I may have p-ed off some HX people because their spies saw me out with her. Boulton goes on to again reiterate that he's been honest about his "very David Bowie life" and reassures readers that if he were fucking his nanny, we'd know all about it: "…I never had a relationship with her of any kind. If I had, I'd have bragged about it." Ain't that the truth! |

MTV "Star" Using Sexuality For Press?
Tila has and has had a boyfriend for over a year, and she's not really bi. She's made out with some girls in her past, as all girls have, but she is not bi at all." Our insider claims that MTV works hard to pretend she's single and available because she refuses to break up with her boyfriend, "who's like five years older than her. This is a massive scam . . . That's why they are not continuing with the show [for a second season], because she won't dump him." The same tattle-tale tells the paper that Tequila's become a "diva". Tequila's spokeswoman, meanwhile, insists her client's a good girl who likes girls, "I'll confirm that she's bisexual and she's a delight to work with." That may be the first queer confirmation in press flack history! |

Heed GLAAD's Call
In an item about There’s Something About Miriam, a Fox reality show about a transsexual woman, the Rupert Murdoch owned paper described the titular character as a "she-male". GLAAD called them out and editor Richard Johnson originally replied, "You’re kidding me, aren’t you? I would have used ‘chick with a dick’ but we’re as [sic] family newspaper.” Apparently Johnson had a change of heart: . …We erred yesterday in referring to a pre-op transsexual as "a she-male" - a term GLAAD informs us is "a dehumanizing slur." We apologize to any and all we may have offended. Next step: vocabulary lesson. |

That Is All...
Today's particular example comes via Page Six's always exciting "sightings" section: "Kevin Spacey cruising Capri with a handsome young man over the weekend." We wonder verb they'd use if Spacey and his PYT had been eating. Maybe "Kevin Spacey sucking down some beef with a handsome young man…?" |
