Engagement Off For Handsome Homo

As Queer Eye heads into its (blessedly) final season, Kyan Douglas heads into new territory: singledom. That's right, the beauty maven and fiance Greg Durham have called it quits. AfterElton reports:

[Douglas] revealed news about his engagement to gay rights activist Greg Durham. “Well, I haven’t ever said anything to the press…but we’ve called off the engagement. We’re no longer together.”

Kyan said that announcing the engagement a year ago was “without a doubt” a statement about gay marriage rights, adding that “Greg and I really came together, we really got to know each other at a marriage [rights] rally.”

But that initial announcement wasn’t something planned. “I was asked about it in the Philippines,” Kyan clarified. “[A reporter] said ‘Are you and Greg getting married?’ And I said, ‘Well as a matter of fact we are.’ And that got picked up over here [in the US]. Where we were at the time with it - that was just the truth.”

Here's another truth: hundreds of homos just got a glimmer of hope.

In addition to announcing his single status, Douglas discusses a relative who recently converted to Evangelicalism. Scary.

Bravo's cooking contest, Top Chef, turns up the heat this season in Miami. While fan favorites Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio make their triumphant return with a new sidekick, Ted Allen.

That's right, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's culinary queer's up in the mix as the show's newest, gayest judge. AfterElton sits down with Allen to get the scoop on the show and, for some reason, his taste in men. Literally:

AE: You're trapped on a deserted island with Tom Colicchio, Carson Kressley and Rupert Everett. Whom do you eat to survive, and how would you prepare them?
TA: First of all, I'm not eating Carson. He'd be all stringy. Carson is a little too lean. Tom Colicchio is a delicious-looking man, but I think I'd have to go with Rupert. Many of us in the community would find him the most delicious. If we're on a desert island, I'd dig a pit. Something spicy or sort of Caribbean would be good for Rupert Everett.

Allen also offers some details on the hottie contestants, the season's tasty twists and insists he's not a party guy. He's more inclined, he says, to spend his time eating a Cuban…sandwich.

We almost blew our load when we read this article. There's just so much to discuss. It comes to us from ABC News and seeks to uncover the truth behind gay stereotypes. As an opener, reporters John Stossel and Gena Binkley chat it up with the world's leading gay experts, Carson Kressley and Ted Allen to define some gay stereotypes.

It's that you're obsessed with fashion, and that you tan a lot and that you color your hair," they said. But, says Allen, the stereotypes are not always true. "Not all gay men are superstylish. Not all straight men are bad dressers," he said.

These are two men who've made careers of perpetuating stereotypes and they have the balls to sit there and try to dispel them? Fuck, what kind of bizarro world did we wake up in?

Stossel and Binkley then turn their attention to Michael Bailey, a psychology professor from Northwestern who once helped 20/20 construct a gaydar test for television. Among his words of wisdom, Bailey says:

There's no obvious reason why sexual orientation should be associated with how masculine or feminine one is, but it is in our species. And it probably has to do with the causes of sexual orientation and early effects of hormones on the brain.

Wait, it gets worse.

Gay men absolutely talk differently, on average. You can tell far better than chance who's a gay man from just listening to him say four sentences.

Nice, but we think his arguments may be lacking something, so we're going to add a few other "true" things about gays. One, all gay people have AIDS because they're all slutty drug addicts. Two, gay people want nothing less than to see the world die off from lack of reproduction. As this mission undoubtedly takes a while, gay people shall satisfy themselves by molesting and, in rare cases, eating your children. Three, all gay people like it in the butt. Why? Hormones, of course.

tyson

We have the hots for Tyson Beckford around here. Not only is he supportive of us gays and HIV/AIDS causes, Beckford is unreasonably good-looking and made an appearance on Queer Eye recently. Someone should package and distribute this man's bath water. We'd drink it.

queer eye

It is bad enough that us gays have to deal with some ignorant beliefs that we are right up there with those into bestiality and pedophilia. That gay agenda is infiltrating movie theaters across the country thanks to Brokeback Mountain. Now, they’re gonna be claiming that we are coming for their kids.

And guess what? We are.

Those feminine Unkle Toms the Queer Eyes are looking for protégés aged 10-18. Isn’t Jai already underage? Below is the Queer Eye Craigslist posting looking for the five young style makers.

We're looking to cast five young male talents age 10-18 to act as FAB5 protege's on an episode of Queer Eye!

If you consider yourself fairly knowledgeable on any of the following fields: food, fashion, grooming, culture or design. Then send us your photo for consideration. This is your chance to strut your stuff and make over one of our straight guys!

If this is not you, but know someone who fits the bill, then nominate him! E-mail us at crodriguez@thequeereye.com. Include applicants name and phone number.

Keep away from our nieces and nephews, you queens. We’re not scared you’ll turn them gay. We’re scared you’ll suck their souls. (And yes the spelling and grammar mistakes were in the Craigslist posting)

CASTING YOUNG TALENTS for BRAVO TV'S "QUEER EYE" [Craigslist]

trent

• Continuing the trend of blogger t-shirt lines, Trent over at Pink is the New Blog has unveiled a new shirt, which is available in really gay pink. Don’t worry, Queerty will soon launched a line of cocktail dresses and handbags.

• Gay.com has the rundown on the first episode of Project Runway. We like all the contestants remaining, but we’re still sticking to our initial gut reaction. Our money is on Santino Rice.

The Plain Dealer, Cleveland's largest newspaper, has repeatedly wanted to include our pal Brian’s faggotyassfaggot.com in their weekly blog write up. But they won’t because of the name, though they “printed the word ‘fag’ or ‘faggot’ in 48 articles over the past ten years.”

• The Queer Eye backlash continues. Even The Gays are over it.

• Cool Hunting has compiled a holiday gift guide and we’d like one of each. Please.

Anderson Cooper’s is tiny. Ryan Seacrest’s is huge. Their ties, you filthy, dirty minds. Watch it here.

Madonna released a new song to her fan club members yesterday and not even we can come to its defense. With lyrics like “If I was an animal I’d be a lion” and “If I was a hero I’d be Martin Luther” we can see why it was left off the new album.

queereye

• The Queer Eyes are looking for gays to makeover this coming season. Personally, we would not let those queens near our hair, our homes, or our closets. Viewers should be making them over. Just look at their hair!

• This year’s must have coffee table book is, ahem, um, Bottom’s Up. Yes, it’s a bunch of boys baring their butts.

Bird flu is killing the world’s hottest guys? Not quite, but it sounded like a believable excuse as to why Matthew McConaughey was named People’s “Sexiest Man Alive.”

Mommy Madge (Her promo drive ain't quitting anytime soon, kiddies) is lending her new dance-crazy track "Hung Up" to crossover episodes of CSI and CSI: Miami. Because blood and guts is just what you want to boogie down to on a Thursday night.

• Poland has elected a new anti-gay president. But we really can't tease them about it too much. Look who we elected to lead our country? Twice.

• A New Hampshire state panel is urging "state lawmakers not to allow gays to marry, not to recognize out-of-state same sex unions and not to set up a domestic partner registry for couples who cannot legally marry." So much for "Live Free or Die."

Consumers are taking Apple to court. They claim the company knew the screen to the Ipod nano scratches just as easily as flesh in a Joan Collins and Linda Evans catfight.

• Both Carson Kressley and Ted Allen continue to wring out as much as they can from the cash cow that is Queer Eye. Ted's book cooks and Carson targets gay teens. A perfect set for any queenie high school chef.

• We'd be remiss in failing to acknowledge the passing of Rosa Parks. The civil rights movement she sparked cleared a path for gay rights and that oh-so-clever rhyme, "We're here and we're queer."
