Hal Sparks on TMZ‘s Harvey Levin: He’s a ‘Scumbag. He’s a Peeping Tom’

[flv:http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/www.benharvey.net/podcasts/sixpack35.mp3 http://www.queerty.com/wp/docs/2010/03/bendavebannerbug.jpg 650 300]

It’s been four and a half years since Queer As Folk wrapped, and yet even some gays still don’t know actor Hal Sparks is a breeder. But here’s what you should know: He is a saucy, saucy minx, and hates himself some Harvey Levin, the gay gossip king behind TMZ.

Queerty‘s teamed up with Ben Harvey and Dave Rubin’s weekly podcast Ben & Dave’s Six Pack to bring you Sparks’ diatribe (“Harvey Levin in a scumbag”) and, in a story you care most about, news of Grindr competition.

I always did love me some Mikey Novotney. Him + Zen Ben were two of my favorites.

Wait, Levin is gay? Well that explains why he positions that seemingly dumb long-haired blond boy upfront and center on his show. He prob. already hit that. LOL!

Levin surrounds himself with cute boys.

Nothing wrong with that. But Levin is smart; he is riding the latest wave of celebrity-obsessed America and he shows Hollywood for what it is. TMZ is the ant-Entertainment Tonight. No clawing sycophants like Mary Hart, swooning over this or that star’s newest disease, or dress, or child.

Ah yes, but Levin keeps the closet alive too, unless it’s been opened by Perez Hilton. He protects Hollywood’s velvet mafia because he is part of them. AND I agree with Sparks: he IS a creep.

Yes, yes, for the thousandth time, we know Hal is straight; he’s never failed to mention it in any print or TV interview during or since the show, as well as suggesting gays owe him some eternal gratitude for his ‘sacrifice.’

Of course, he was 40 last September, has not married, and has never been long seen with the same woman. What are today’s females thinking letting a classy prince like this get away?

Back in the 80′s there was a “Holiday Helath Spa” in the building at the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and LaBrea that Harvey used to go to. He was so infamously active in the steam room that the late (and much-missed) gossip trio “The Hollywood Kids” used to call Harvey’s steamroom antics “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.”

@fredo777:
OMG yes. I was so disappointed to learn that Hal isn’t actually gay. He’s totally my type. And he rocks a mean kilt. XD

Anywway, it’s cool that he played that role so long, since he isn’t. I guess he’s like a small screen Ewan MacGregor. Awsum.

Waitasec, though. Douche? Tell me more…. (darn it, I’m going to end up hating, him, aren’t I?)

Hal is super, super sexy. But it’s plain as day to anyone with even half-decent gaydar that he’s straight as an arrow.

We can still lust after him and his smoldering good looks.
