There’s a lot to unpack in this relatively short segment Adam Rippon filmed with Ellen.
First, the elephant in the room — Adam’s truly horrifying dream man.
Ellen took all the qualities Adam admires in male celebrities (Harry Styles‘ hair, the Rock’s mouth, Zac Efron‘s body, etc.) and melded them into the ultimate date.
Feast your eyes on this hunk:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
We haven’t been this turned on since a bunch of oiled up bros twerked it out at the gym.
But the fun didn’t stop there.
Ellen introduced a segment titled “Adam Rippon On…” (whoever came up with that deserves a raise like yesterday), in which Adam opines on a number of cultural hot-topics.
One of the categories is the adult film star turned presidential sparring partner Stormy Daniels.

Adam Rippon on… Stormy Daniels:
“I haven’t cheered this hard for a porn star since… yesterday, when I was watching one, and it was these two guys, they were, like, ‘roommates,’ and the one — he couldn’t pay his bills or anything and it was like ‘where’s he going to live?’ And then they worked it out.”
Wow. We haven’t been this turned on since Ellen introduced us to Adam’s dream man.
Watch the segment below, and let’s just go ahead and give Adam his own show. Can we?

Really wish this guy would go away. I understand the importance of having visible lgbt representation in many forms of media but there reaches a point with each individual person where it goes from representation to over saturation. When I first heard about him and Gus Kenworthy I thought It was a good thing that would help lgbt visibility, now it’s just become a case of two people trying to extend their 15 minutes of fame as much as possible and it’s starting to grate on me. There are other famous gay people in the world that aren’t these two.

Agreed!

Pretty sure winning an olympic medal and/or going to the olympics gets you more than 15 minutes of fame. God damn fame whores spending their whole lives towards a goal and achieving it! I detest the message this sends to young LGBT kids! How dare they represent gay men or be visible after coming back from the olympics and talk candidly about their own life and pretend to be real people like you or me! Go away and let someone more qualified, queer, and successful represent us, like Mike Pence!
SMFH.

Well said Crystix! These guys are definitely going to be around for more than 15 minutes and rightfully so! They have earned their fame through hard work and talent, not being famous for the sake of being famous. And on top of that, they are great representatives for the LGBT community. Some people just seem to get all bent out of shape that these guys get a lot of attention. Pure jealousy it seems.

Oversaturation? There is a simple solution: Don’t watch or read anything with Adam Rippon’s name. Is that so hard? This is America. No one is forcing you to be “saturated” with Rippon. You are not a captive audience. In fact, he’s not even on any TV commercial so you can’t claim that you’re not in control. Any exposure you have is by your own volition.
In fact, you’re a hypocrite and self-defeating. By clicking on an article about Rippon, you’re actually encouraging more about him. Websites keep track of click numbers and trending topics for advertising purposes. So stop being the lady who doth protest too much and just ignore Rippon, sparing people who enjoy him of your megalonaniacal judgment.

So true – so impressed with himself that he doesn’t know how to go gently into the night.
Sort of makes me pine for another gay celebrity to step forward and push this guy off the stage before he embarrasses himself. rj

@thisisnotreal I agree completely.
I am also tired of these people leaking their nudes and then pretending to be upset that their nudes were “leaked.”
Crystix
There are leaked nudes of Rippon? Where?
Onecaddy13
Who cares what porn movie he likes. Who cares about him at all? The Olympics are over, he should be too! He didn’t do too well either! I really don’t understand why he’s getting all the attention. He’s not the only gay person in the world, let’s move on to new business. he’s just very very girlie for my tastes, and he claims to be a top? YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!
Crystix
I just clicked on this story to rant against gay men who are effeminate. How dare someone gay I don’t find sexy be allowed to be on Ellen! The Nerve!

Apparently, people who clicked on this article do. Duh! Or were you too lazy or illiterate to read the title before you clicked? Fact is, no one forced or tricked you into reading this. So not only are you a hypocrite, you’re also self-defeating. By clicking on an article about Rippon, you’re actually encouraging more about him. Websites keep track of click numbers and trending topics for advertising purposes. So stop being the lady who doth protest too much and just ignore Rippon, sparing people who enjoy him of your megalonaniacal judgment.

His dream man looks like Station from Bill & Ted
Bradsman
He’s cute but why does he wear his hair like a ventriloquist’s dummy?
Billysees
Hehehe…true.

Uh oh, I got yelled at by the Queerty moderator for daring to comment on Cynthia Nixon’s hair. Somehow I’m guessing that making fun of a man’s hair is ok in her book, let’s see what happens.
Donston
Why are we asking Olympic atheletes about the type of porn they watch? Is it just ’cause he’s gay and “sassy”? And why is Ellen asking of all people asking? I’m just not understanding why being “happily out” has to almost always equate to such a sexualized and narcissistic image? Especially for an Olympic athelete.
But anyways, despite him and Gus appearing on anything and everywhere that’s not the opening of a tire store, I do think Adam is cute and clever. And he’s calmed down his persona a bit lately.
mhoffman953
*hint* It’s because Ellen is producing a reality TV show about Adam and she wants to cash in *end of hint*

Apparently, you’ve confused Ellen with Meet the Press. And Ellen is not exactly Oprah. But more importantly, no one asked Rippon about the type of porn he watches. Read the article again. The question was about Stormy Daniels, and presumably, the political ramifications. Rippon responded with a sassy quip about gay porn. There’s no proof that he actually watched such a video, and the story was clearly meant to be amusing and not necessarily autobiographical.
Donston
You’re repping for Adam lil too aggressively. No need to get snippy. And instead of three long responses you could have just started a new post. But yes, you are right. Ellen didn’t ask. I stand by the rest of my comment however. It doesn’t really have a ton to do with Adam but more so a bigger picture.
dgsea06
Thanks for posting this, QUEERTY! Ellen and Adam are just fine! They have fun talking to one another.
And anyone with a (Human) heart, a (Human) soul and a (Human) conscience could enjoy and celebrate the simple fact that they GET To Do This! Smart, inteliegent and Soo Good Looking!
It’s a Talk Show, Not the Daily WhiteHousePressBreifings! For, as Bill Nye said, “For Crying Out Loud!”
Let us celerate these and so many other factors of our human existence.
And as Franklin said, If we don’t hang together, we shall certainly hang separately. He was reffering to the “Gallows” Not the Porn “Star”

I suspect most of the complaints about his popularity are (as one comment here explicitly states) based on Rippon having a very effeminate manner. I’m a big ol’ 6′-tall bear who loves cigars, power tools and working out. I can’t dance to save my life and I don’t like show tunes. But I honestly respect and admire someone like Rippon who isn’t afraid to be his real self in front of the world. He’s smart, he’s witty and he is well spoken. His comments on serious matters are always thoughtful. And the rest of the time, he’s just a lot of fun. I think it is way past the time when everyone in the queer community needs to openly support and celebrate the most effeminate among us who often bear the brunt of the worst that the homophobes have to dish out. Don’t change a thing Adam – just keep being you.
Donston
It does seem as if most of the hate is due to his feminity. But I also think some people are frustrated that we have a famous unabashedly man-loving male American athlete who seems more interested in self-promotion and purporting the majority of stereotypes than anything else. However, I agree that he is clever and well-spoken and deserves his time in the sun.

Lighten up bitches, I mean men. Let Rippon alone. We have enough people against us. Let Adam enjoy his fame! He is not my type and I’m not his unless he likes muscular daddy bears but I admire his accomplishments.
Bradsman
I love him. I think he’s smart and gorgeous but I don’t think he likes older guys if Harry Styles is his dream boy.
Jack Meoff
Ellen DeGeneres seems to be providing a platform on her show for gay men at the moment but only if they are super camp and stereotypical queens.
Dwik27
But THAT is OK. Super camp stereotypical queens exist too. We share the world. So much homophobia is tied up with misogyny. We shouldn’t be playing that game. Some of us are average “straight” appearing guys (and I make no apologies for that). And others are effeminate. We all need to respect the differences among us – support one another – and let the homophobes know that we are a united front. We need to collectively tell them to back the F off when they attack one of us for not measuring up to someone’s else’s notion of “masculinity”. So again, good for Adam – good for Ellen.
ifreak
Wow, some of these comments are just shocking! Can’t we just be happy for the guy? Can’t we be happy that the lgbt are getting more visibility in the media? Are we ‘crabs in a bucket’? There’s so much negativity in the world towards us and we’re bringing each other down! If we can’t even support each other, how do we expect our allies and the rest of the world to support us? Let’s just celebrate that a gay man who recently became an olympic medallist is getting his time in the spotlight.
