• Friendly warning to America's Next Top Model's Nigel Barker - the kids from New Now Next have been stalking you. We don't think you're in any danger, but you may want to be careful when/how/where you do your stretches. Also, if some faggots ask you to spot them, throw the poor boys a bone. Especially if you're wearing short shorts. [New Now Next]

Lance Bass is writing a memoir not-so-cleverly entitled Out of Sync. [Entertainment Tonight]

Gawker wants you to rename it. [Gawker]

• Meanwhile, Bass' ex's (Reichen) ex and former Amazing Race contestant, Chip Arndt, hopes to raise 100,000 to fight AIDS. Cool, right? What's not so cool is that his correspondent MySpace page plays "Here Comes The Sun". What about Michael Jackson's Ryan White memorial tune, "Gone To Soon"? Too depressing? Okay, what about "You've Really Got Me" by The Kinks? Oh, wait... [MySpace]

"Urban Element" Need Not Apply

SWInn.jpg
It's a marvelous day for Gayville. Okay, maybe "marvelous" is a bit of a stretch, but it's at least notable: The New York Observer reports that Stonewall Inn- you know, that little place at 53 Christopher Street from which homos stormed police, thus launching the modern gay rights movement - will be reopening next month.

The landmark closed last year after the owners lost their lease. Now, it's getting a brand new look. Chris Shott reports: "Its rehab comes at the behest of the bar's new management, which includes Bill Morgan and Tony DeCicco of the neighboring Duplex piano bar." Neither man would comment on the story, but Shott directs the reader to this article in which Morgan denigrates the monumental bar. He griped:

They promote these urban youth parties. They pushed out the regular gay clientele in favor of this new, urban, hip-hop, gangster clientele. Then you bring a bunch of 18-to-20-year-olds in the area who have no place to go and start goofing off and being loud. It’s disruptive to the neighborhood and brings in the wrong element in the neighborhood.
In case you're daft, he's talking about black people and other assorted queer kiddies of color - certainly not an "element" with which people of Morgan's ilk want to associate. It just wouldn't be right...

So, does that mean the new and improved Stonewall will be a breeding ground for white, affluent queens? Probably not. That would be illegal (not to mention tacky). We do know that one construction worker raved, "It's going to be gorgeous!" Sounds great, but we probably won't be making it our hot spot. But, then again, the only hot spot we know's in our pants. And we're not talking about our genitals (tear).

• Seventy-three years after it settled in on Christopher Street, a "For Rent" now hangs in the Stonewall's window. Some neighbors revel at the idea of seeing the historic bar close. [NYO]
