Feeling a little antsy waiting for the great escape from office hell? Yeah, us, too. Or, we were until we saw this video from tonight's episode of Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency in which Dickinson, The Abbey owner, David Cooley and blogging brother Perez Hilton hold a little audition for aussieBum underwear. Needless to say it's eye-popping, among other body parts.

Speaking of body parts, we have to warn you that Hilton tries to teach the models a thing or two and grabs his penis. You may want to avert your eyes. It's pretty unsettling.

(Also, don't be alarmed if the video takes a few seconds to load. The 21st century ain't what it's cracked up to be...)

So, we finally got around to reading former Survivor contestant and current Janice Dickinson model JP Calderon's coming out interview with Instinct Magazine. To be honest, we really had no idea who this man was until he came out, so we can't say we're shocked by the revelation. We can say, however that we're shocked by how much we like him - well, as much as you can like someone without ever knowing them.

The interview's the pretty standard coming out exploration, delving in Calderon's childhood, his father's disdain and the pain of self-repression et al. We would like, however, to highlight one particularly poignant message:

I’m really, truly doing, what I’ve always wanted to do. I always wanted to be in entertainment. I was such a ham when I was a kid. I loved it, you know?. And when my mom died I stopped. But now I can do it again. It wasn’t until this last year when my dad passed away that I did Survivor, I said yes to Janice Dickinson, to you. I’m coming out and I’m living! Like, what the fuck am I doing? Why have I waited so long?

• Janice Dickinson on Survivor contestant turned model JP Calderon's coming out: "I just wanted to tell you how fucking proud I am of you. Coming out yesterday must be really hard, and then being on the cover of a national magazine the next day?"

• Gavin Newsom on getting it on with former campaign manager, Alex Tourk's wife, Ruby: "I want to make it clear that everything you've read is true and I'm deeply sorry about that...I hurt someone I care deeply about, Alex Tourk and his family and friends, and that is something I'm deeply sad about and sorry for".

• Editor and Publisher on FBI agent Deborah Bond's testimony on Scooter Libby's knowledge on Valerie Plame: "[Bond] described the bureau's interview with I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby on Oct. 14, 2003. Asked where he first learned of Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, he had told the FBI then -- from the vice president, on or about June 12 that year, in a telephone conversation".

• Morvin Crumlish on computer generated "recommendations": "I find the idea of my bodily functions and sexuality being obsessed about by marketing professionals disturbing, but perhaps my biggest concern is that they are right".

• The Jewish Theological Seminary's study's on conservative Jew's increasingly accepting feelings on gay rabbis: "the decisions clearly raise the possibility among many that the Conservative movement has taken a move to the theological Left, further parting company from the Orthodox, and further approaching the Reform movement".

• Jennifer Hudson on being on American Idol: "...You go through this mental thing... You've been abused, misled and brainwashed to believe whatever they want you to think...I knew I had to sing my way out of it".

Today really is a big one for breaking news. We just got word that Janice Dickinson was a big slut in the 80s! In her appearance on Howard Stern yesterday, the self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" talks about her all-night threesome with Grace Jones and Dolph Lundgren, her steamy affair with model/actress Kelly LeBrock (most famous for her role in Weird Science), and why she didn't sleep with Madonna.

Since Janice is a well-documented nutball, we wouldn't doubt that all of this was complete lies, but we want to believe to her. We really do.

In other Janice news, her new reality show The Janice Dickinson Modelling Agency premiered last night on Oxygen. The cameras follow her as she tries to do everything herself: casting, photography, and PR, plus be a mom and look fabulous, or something like that. Read the official website for the real description. We missed the premiere last night, but we suspect there is truth in the Hollywood Reporter's assertion that it is "'Zoolander' without the self-awareness."

UPDATE: View stills and video from the first episode here, at the Malcontent.

Review: The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency [The Hollywood Reporter]

What a wild night TWO nights Janice "drinking has always been my problem" Dickinson had at Eastern Bloc (where Wonderbar used to be) in New York's East Village on Sunday and Monday. She apparently had such a great time getting sloshed and rubbing up on all the homos that she was reportedly returning for a third evening of fun last night. No word on that yet, but we of course have our finger on the pulse of Janice's gay-bar-hopping and you will be the first to know if we learn anything.

See some more crazy photos of a drunk, pursed-lips Janice and some gays after the jump.

This man must have balls of steel to let Janice Dickinson wave scissors around his goods like that, or maybe he is one of her newest talents. Janice, the self-proclaimed "world's first" supermodel, has opened her own modeling agency, and they are recruiting via a page on MySpace, which is supposedly maintained by Janice's "casting" team, but we suspect that Janice made it herself and checks it every day (see her busted and out-of-date website here) . So give it a shot if you live in L.A., and want to risk getting your balls chopped off by a crazy woman.

You know we love us some Tyra here at Queerty. And of course we don’t mean her dumb ass talk show, we mean America’s Next Top Model. The best part of the show, besides Miss J, is when the model/contestants try and express their ‘thoughts.’ It takes a lot to make Tyra look smart but these girls do it. Check out this video of one of the girl's named Danny. She gives Alessandra Mussolini a run for her money.

“I don't like gay people. I don't like Muslims. I don't like abortions. I don't like anything liberal. But, other than that-I really like to get along with people..."

Now that is good TV. She better thank her lucky stars Janice Dickinson is off or she’d be just a fatless carcass by now. Still, it’s going to be especially good when she has to go up and defend her statement to Miss J. Let’s just say the bitch better know how to walk – fast!

Everyone's favorite lesbian from America's Next Top Model, Kim Stolz, chatted recently with Bradford Shellhammer about the show, what's next, and Tyra Banks.

We met at a Cyndi Lauper concert. Who are your favorite performers?
One of the best concerts I've seen this year was a band called "TV on the Radio." They played at Union Pool in Williamsburg. It was a blast. Their energy was really captivating. I also saw a great performance by Robert Smith and the Cure a couple of years ago—that sticks out in my mind. I'm just happy you're not asking me this question in 1998, when my answer would have been, undoubtedly, Ani. Ha!

Now since the show has ended, what have you been doing?
Since the show has ended, I've been trying to figure out how best to start out in both the modeling and acting worlds. I signed with a great manager, and am looking at agencies. I've been attending fabulous events, going to photo shoots, and trying to escape being a reality TV show star forever! Any ideas?

You said you might move to LA. Why?
Well in all honesty, LA is the best place to be if I want to really try to start a career as an actress. The work is there. However, I am going to try to stay in New York as long as possible. I am thinking, however, about moving to Paris sometime...

Which judge was your absolute favorite? Least favorite?
Well, even though perhaps her calm and collected attitude wasn't as good for ratings as Janice's crazy and frightening personality, I really loved getting to know Twiggy. She is one of the most beautiful, modest, helpful, and well-intentioned people I've ever met. I owe it to her I think that I stayed as long as I did. As for least favorite... I didn't really have a least favorite judge. They were all my least favorite when I got eliminated! Ha-ha. However, I was really disappointed at Miss Jay's lack of understanding for my gender expression/confusion. Shouldn't he/she understand!?

Do you read blogs? and if so, which?
I am proud to say that I certainly read Queerty. I also read Gawker, Perez Hilton, Shit Parade, and A Socialite's Life. Girl needs her gossip!

After the jump Kim dishes on the other girls.

Reality television shows usually have room for one or two big personalities in each series. This season’s Project Runway, which unbelievably we’re loving more than season one, is full of those personalities. However, Santino Rice definitely steals the show. The Los Angeles designer caught up with Bradford Shellhammer to discuss the show, his sexuality, and who really was the world’s first supermodel.

What are your New Year's resolutions?
To live, to learn, to love, and to leave a legacy! Persevere, keep trying new things...to keep evolving. To change my world!

Some of the self-proclaimed "faggoty boys" from the show told us 
you're this season's Wendy Pepper. Why would they say such a thing?
My mom says they're just jealous, but she's been saying that to me since I came out the snatch! I think those guys were just being "cute," they know damn well that I’ve got talent and I’m the real deal. I think it's funny though, really man, nothing's sacred, including me! I'll take the piss out of myself before I let some bitter opinionated faggots try to read me!

Is Janice Dickinson really the world's first Supermodel? Do you care?
I'd say what about Veruschka, Penelope Tree, and Twiggy! What about Lauren Hutton, Cheryl Tiegs, Jerry Hall.......Patti Hansen!!!!! I'd say and think of a lot of other names before her file came up in my brain! But god bless her. Shit. People gotta eat and as far as her 15-year-old audience is concerned, she could tell them she invented the "blow-job" and no one would really question that! And yeah, I guess I do care, I’m a caring kind of guy!

What designers do you consider inspirations?
Any designer who is creating their vision, creating a body of work, I find them hugely inspirational. Yohji Yamamoto is the shit! I love him, and I’ve seen many successful collections by many designers and you can't help but store some of that in your memory bank.

Which do you absolutely hate?
Hate is a pretty strong word, especially directed toward someone who's actually doing something with his or her life, I hate idleness, and I hate mediocrity! I can't justify hating on another artist, regardless of what I think about their shit!

After the jump Santino tells us whether he's into guys or girls.

• Tyra booted our gal-pal and proud lesbian Kim from America’s Next Top Model on Thanksgiving Eve. Bre, the horse-voiced thief of the show stayed on and with that decision we lost all respect for our once beloved show. Actually, we lost it when boring-ass Twiggy took Janice’s job.

• Madonna wants to direct films. Ooooh. That’s a good idea. Not.

• We know a lot of queens out there are into knitting and sewing. A reader of ours recently discovered a series of dirty cross-stitch patterns in Vienna, Germany. The series is titled “How to Calm the Oversexed Male” and contain images from vintage gay porn. It is the perfect gift for that queen as equally obsessed with Martha Stewart as he is with porn. Thanks Martin.
