Reichen's feeling regretful today.

Yesterday the Dante's Cove actor caused a minor sensation by posting a pretty angry message on MySpace, one which many - including ourselves - assumed was directed at Reichen's ex-flame, Ryan Barry.

Reichen insists, however, that is not the case - "My childish remarks weren't describing anyone I've dated" - and offered his most sincere apologies for acting like a virtual maniac:

We all experience pain, but venting on MySpace isn't right. I'm sorry and I regret it. I was emotional and I don't feel any of the things I've said. And whoever I've dated that it could have been directed toward is and was never the way I may have described. I was venting on life and frustration and I apologize for offending anyone or for making myself look childish.

That's alright, Reichen. In fact, we love when you blow your top.

Gay "celebrity" Reichen must be nursing a broken heart. Or feeding a grudge.

The former Amazing Race contestant and Lance Bass boyfriend recently updated his MySpace page and declared himself "single," which must mean he and lookalike lover Ryan Barry have called it quits.

Reichen's obviously got some beef with the beefcake boy toy, for his headline reads "You Shady Lying Sack of Shit. You're BEYOND Gross. What an Idiot I Have Been!" Well, we could have told you that!

The fuming flamer also offered some Hollywood-centric love tips:

Never believe them when they say they're in love with you.

Never believe them when they tell you where their heart is.

Never believe them when they say they're only going to sleep with you, especially when there is a social climbing opportunity in front of them.

Never underestimate their need for celebrity, money, and fame.

Never believe you can fix it by being true or nice.

Never EVER believe love is more important to them than anything Hollywood.

This isn't the first time Reichen's taken to the internet to offer a virtual rant. Remember his bat-shit crazy remarks against LA Rag Mag? That was wild!

And, with regard to the dating tips, we agree with you Reichen, but think they can be applied across the States. Boys are bad news. That's why we're going to become lesbians!

• A majority of American citizens support same-sex civil unions, according to ABC News, but not all opinions are created evenly:

Overall, 55 percent favor allowing homosexual couples to form legally recognized civil unions, giving them the same rights as married couples in areas such as health insurance, inheritance and pension coverage. That's up from 45 percent in an ABC/Post poll in 2006; the previous high was 51 percent in 2004.
…
On civil unions, support peaks among adults under age 30, and tanks among seniors. It's highest in the East and West, notably lower in the Midwest and South. Whites overall are more apt than blacks to support gay civil unions, and the idea wins more support among women (59 percent) than men (51 percent, and 47 percent among married men).

Interesting divide between single and married men, no?

Amazing!

CBS reality show The Amazing Race starts its twelfth season with a pair of lesbian ministers.
Kate Lewis and Pat Hendrickson of Thousand Oaks, California will compete in the around the world race, a race which gave Reichen his start. So, will we be seeing a lot more of these lovely ladies? We sure hope so!

It should come as no surprise to hear that Lewis and Hendrickson are both associated with the Episcopal Church: the Anglican denomination that ordained openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson. That movement, however, has been splitting at the sacred seams over gay inclusion. Perhaps these girls can change some people's minds.

Homo-photog Adam Bouska recently turned his lens on Reichen's main squeeze, Ryan Barry.

Remember when we imagined Barry and Reichen having boring sex? We take half of it back…

Sure, Reichen may be crazier than a shit house rat, but there's no denying he and his post-Bass boyfriend, Ryan Barry, make an attractive couple.

While it's tempting to imagine this toned twosome romping in the sack, we keep coming up with the same inane scenario:
Ryan: You're so hot.

Reichen: I know. And famous.

Ryan: Wait! You're supposed to say I'm hot, too.

Reichen: Oh, yeah, you're hot.

Ryan: Thank you.

Reichen: I'm hotter though. Oh, yes, yes, I'm so hot! Oh, god! I'm so hooooot!!

Ryan: Wait, what about me?

Reichen: What about you? God, I love me.

• National Gay and Lesbian Task Force executive director Matt Foreman has some harsh words for Democratic presidential contenders:

We find no evidence that the Democratic frontrunners counter Republicans’ anti-LGBT speech with routine and positive inclusion of LGBT people in their visions for a whole and healthy society… The Democrats include us — sorta — but only in response to a direct question and typically in the language of careful legislative reform.

Word!

Lance Bass must have a sexual guardian angel.

Not only did the 28-year old former boy bander once date the uber-attractive (and just as crazy) Reichen, but he's now cuddling up to New York-based Brazilian model, Pedro Andrade.

The men made their dating debut on July 4th at Sag Harbor's The Estate. And things are allegedly going well. From a proverbial "source":

You could tell they're very happy with each other. Pedro is beyond good-looking … so hot. Pedro is spunky, full of life. They're a perfect match.

Bass' new gig helps seal the perfect deal. He'll soon start work on Broadway's Hairspray, which means he can get a piece of that Brazilian beauty any time he wants. Except show time, of course.

Click here to see Andrade's - um - body of work.

We're not sure what's crazier - the fact that Reichen put his name on atrocious Aviator-"inspired" jewelry or his retaliation against Lynn and Alex over at LA Rag Mag.

The dishy duo slammed Reichen's Love and Pride collection, writing,

Who does he think he is Suzanne Summers, Joan Rivers? The only guys that would buy this are nerd gays who still think Reichen is something to lust after, everyone in Hollywood knows better!

Obviously unstable, Reichen fired off a 3-page hate note, which included this especially nutzoid - not to mention tacky - bit:

Hustling for cash? Are you kidding me? I’ll ALWAYS have more than you in every way including and beyond money, so don’t worry about that. You needn’t worry about my hustling. I know it sucks to lose the Amazing Race, but your insecurity about it here is obtuse. Let’s not talk MONEY, boys. You don’t know MONEY.

Yeah, Reichen, we're sure you're rolling in the fucking dough. That's why you're hawking that cheap jewelry.

If you think that's bad, read on…

Reichen sure is one hard working homo. The model/reality show star/"actor"/author and alright around boy toy can now add jewelry designer to his laundry list of accomplishments. He's joined forced with "premier" gay online store, Love and Pride to bring you the recommended daily dose tacky, yet politically active jewelry. Yippee!!

Sure, you may not want to wear something inspired by propellers, but maybe this will change your mind: 10% of the proceeds go to Servicemember's Legal Defense Network and their seemingly endless struggle to overturn Don't Ask, Don't Tell. That means if you toss down $195 bucks for the "Black Propeller Ring," SLDN gets a whopping $19.50!! Not only that, but you get the priceless privilege of wearing an ugly ring designed by a pretty boy.

Not buying it? No, we aren't either…

Lance Bass' ex-boyfriend, Reichen has landed himself a new gig. The former reality star and one-time memoirist has been signed to the here! network's supernatural soap, Dante's Cove. The gay channel's celebratory press release reads:

On the show, Lehmkuhl will play Trevor, a business school graduate who comes to Dante's Cove looking to find himself. While there, he becomes quickly intertwined with the beautiful men and enigmatic forces crawling all over the island. His close association with the immortal witch Grace (Tracy Scoggins) draws Trevor into a magical world and a dark battle he never could have imagined.

Will Trevor use his power for good or evil? We don't know. Nor, quite frankly, do we care. We just want that sweet, sweet, eye-candy. Say what you will about him, but Reichen's a fine ass man, as here! executive said: "He is the perfect triple threat for Dante's Cove - he has a loyal fan base, he is proudly out, and he is simply gorgeous."

That mystery man of his sure is lucky. And now he'll get the poop on all the Dante's happenings. What a fairytale!

If you don't know about Dante's Cove, watch the season two trailer, after the jump. Sure, it's not well-acted, written or even directed (even the commercial's narrator's bad), the plot ventures far beyond absurdity, but it's sincere and a bit of (very) guilty escapism in a self-serious world. Actually, it's kind-of-amazing. In a not-so-amazing kind of way.

Remember when blind item's were hard? No? Well, that's because they're not. Yesterday's Page Six practically screamed "Reichen!" with the first question. The second question? Well, that's a bit more perplexing:

Which handsome former boyfriend of a boy-bander has a new, secret fling? While the hunk is out, his new man - a famously single actor - is not.

Famously single? Hmm…which actor has made a name as a sworn bachelor? Someone sexy. Someone steamy. Someone like [insert name here].

It's a total no brainer. We know you kids have brains, so get 'em working…

Oy vey, we can hardly keep track of all the feckless ups and downs of Lance Bass and (just) Reichen's fascinating relationship. Seriously, they're like a couple of high schoolers.

Just one day after taking a trip down the slopes with Justin Timberlake, looking like the picture of homo-bliss, it seems the boys are on the outs. Page Six reports:

Lance Bass is coping badly with Internet rumors of his on-again-off-again boyfriend Reichen Lehmkuhl's cheating ways. The boy-bander showed up to Heineken's party at Sundance Monday night "with a bunch of friends" said a spy, but "Rei chen was nowhere in sight." Another partygoer wit nessed "a very upset" Bass knocking down a stanchion outside the club. Bass was evidently too upset to join the celebs stampeding for swag.

Too distraught for free goodies? Damn, we've never felt more sorry for Bass than we do at this very moment. Although, we've never really felt sorry for Bass, so we're not breaking any precedent. We do have to say, however, that we think he could do better. Sure, he's not the most stunning man in the world, but neither are you. Hey, you guys have something in common. Maybe you should call him and provide an absorbent shoulder?
