Fresh off his red hot red carpet moment at Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony, Adam Rippon stopped by Watch What Happens Live!
The U.S. Olympic figure skater sat down with Andy and Real Housewife Brandi Glanville last night to discuss, well, all sorts of things.
From his adoring celebrity fans (“I’m not really one to get starstruck”) to meeting his crush Shawn Mendes at the Oscars (“I kind of feel like we had a connection”) to, ahem, rough tops.

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.
OK, here’s how it went down:
Andy asked Adam, “What’s your type?”
“My type is someone who goes to the gym and has a job,” he replied.
That’s when Brandi jumped in to say, “He needs a rough top!”
To which Adam nonchalantly answered, “Why not?”
Watch.

Two of the most overexposed people on the planet. Enough already. There are other interesting people.
BGinBigD
Amen
Lacuevaman
Amen too!
tham
You must watch a lot of E!
Notright
Thank you!
dougmbaaser
but we can all agree on how cute Notright is, right?
Raphael
And that’s exactly what is wrong with the gay community. Why not say something like, “good”, “kind”, “funny’, “smart”… The first thing he says is “goes to the gym”… Can we move on from him already?
ChrisK
Jesus he’s in his twenties. Yes vain as most are. No one wants a kind or funny but fat slob.
surreal33
Agree, he is the personification of the boring, nelly, fembot stereotype.
DCguy
Notice how ANY time there is a story about any out celeb some new account comes in to say “This is what’s wrong with the Gay Community”.
Yeah, because NO straight people have EVER said that a person should be attractive. You trolls are sad.
Raphael
DCguy, I’ve been following the site for years, probably longer than you. I just don’t see the need (nor do I have time) to comment on all articles… And I stand by my comment! Is all about gym and perfect body.
Brian
He’s a world-class athlete. He wants a partner who goes to the gym because that’s what he himself has to do. It’s a shared interest, and more than a mere hobby.
whatsaywhat
@Raphael DCguy never passes on an opportunity to express outrage, offence and suspicion of any comment he/she doesn’t agree with.
miserylovedme24
Exactly. And then all these guys bitch and moan about how they “can’t find a guy.” Yet they reject the ones with good personalities in favor of ripped queens.
geb1966
Heaven forbid that an Olympic athlete who obviously takes care of his body want someone with similar goals as him. Oh yeah, and who could possibly want someone who is shares the same healthy lifestyle. Not to mention something they would have in common.
His priorities are his to choose and I doubt he gives two shits what you think.
Raphael
geb1966, apparently you and a lot of people do… I wish it was only his priorities but unfortunately, they are not! Anyway, I’m done replying here. I voiced my opinion and if you or anyone don’t like it; in your own words, I don’t give a sh*t.
Mmmrrrggglll
@Brian – Thank you, that’s exactly what I was thinking. And as far as the job thing goes – of course he wants someone with a job – that is like the lowest bar in life you can set to show you have some sense of responsibility. He didn’t say the person had to be rich, just that he had a job.
Lacuevaman
and take ken worthy with him……
crowebobby
I’ll take a meeting with Shawn Mendes over a gold medal any day of the week. Not that I’ll ever get a chance at either.
ChrisK
Well, Bobby you can always pull out the ol credit card and get a Mendes look-a-like escort. He might even tell you that you’re the best.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Chris
BWAHAHAHAHAHA………ahem…. (takes a sip of coffee)
@Bobby
Bobby my love, you need a rough lover, Shawn is just a kid, have you heard him talk? You need someone like Hugh Jackman who would Power bomb you, and then hold you in his arms as you fall asleep hoping you didn’t hurt your back.
crowebobby
Chris/Hussain: I can get either one for 100 Euros at any boy-bar in Berlin. I’ve also had both and everything in between over the years. I know exactly what I want and what I need . . . and it isn’t a power top. F*cking has long since ceased to be the point for me; Shawn’s youth and ostensible guilelessness, as well as his near perfect body and handsome face, plus his self-achievement are what turn me on. You girls can have my share of the gym-rat power tops; just let me worship in peace at the font of youth, beauty and the not-yet-twisted male.
Brian
I never thought there could be a combination of three people where Brandi Glanville was the least annoying of the bunch.
projo
So true!
drewthemoviefan
That headline could not be more misleading. There was absolutely zero flirting between Andy and Adam. And Brandi was the one who said Adam needed a “rough top.”
eeebee333
Misleading headlines are standard operating procedure for Queerty. I think the editor was absent the day they talked about journalistic integrity.
o.codone
eeebbb333. Editor? At Queerty? There’s never been an editor at Queerty. Never ever. Once a year when they really need one they go next door to the National Enquirer and borrow their guy and pay him in crack cocaine. Can’t you tell?
Bradsman
Adam has stated he likes Harry Styles and Shawn Mendes. It’s seems like he likes twinks not tough tops.
NateOcean
Adam needs a new agent. Lately the way he’s been booked has been to play up the slutty fem angle. Yet earlier he actually appeared to have his sh!t together.
There’s still hope for him. Get a new agent.
Brian
More than likely, he was toning it down while he was representing the US, and now that it’s over, he’s letting his natural flame burn bright.
Jim
Well, Andy would sure NOT be the rough top Adam is looking for…
Xzamilloh
But he would be that “with a job” that he seem to look for in a guy. All I hear is “I wanna be a kept wife” and I can’t knock the hustle
geb1966
@Xzamilloh I doubt Adam will need to be a “kept wife” since he will have endorsements out the ass and plenty of his own money. Frankly, expecting someone to have a job is not unreasonable. No one wants a lazy bum.
Lacuevaman
agree…. with the spittle foaming in the corners of his mouth
Donston
He’s attained genuine fame, which was probably his ultimate goal. And he’s basking in his moment. I don’t want to hate on that. I try to defend the dude, primarily because I wouldn’t mind being his “rough top”, and I do think he’s for real funny. But the unrelenting camp, shallowness and narcissism (which all sorta seem like a performance rather than who he really is) has started to get somewhat grating. And I was completely on his side just a month ago.
bobnla
This is all a bunch of trashy crap…Adam is an immature socially inexperienced young guy, acting like a tramp. Please…spare us, Queerty
Terrycloth
I think Adam is twinky cute yet as soon as he opens his mouth and a purse falls out…ruins it for me
geb1966
You expect twinky cute to sound like a lumberjack??
Brian
Dumb headline. He didn’t say he needs a rough top. A straight woman (whose entire resume is “TV personality”) said so. She’s garbage. She played into the stereotype of gay men, and he went along with it.
Donston
Well, he did rock a harness outfit. So, it’s not an extreme assumption. Also, he did “go along with it”.
tham
“Extreme assumption…”
That sounds like a great album name for a 90’s pop rock band.
WindsorOntario
Well, there went my lunch. Thanks a lot.
Donston
While I have nothing against Adam and Gus, this is part of the problem with not having any out guys in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, tennis, higher end soccer, etc. Being an Olympic athelete is a completely different thing. It’s a different type of experience, attention, scrutiny and pressure. And they only really have to deal with the press every few years and therefore can become desperate to get in that fame and money. While it’s cool that they want to be “spokes-men” both come off as shallow, self-serving, trying-to-get-my-shine-on-right-now pretty boys without much perspective or a real story to tell. It’d just be nice if we had some alternatives to that.
rodzilla
DONSTON: that was a really thoughtful comment. u sound like a gentleman and a scholar!
Terrycloth
@Donston : I have no idea who Adam’s manager or agent is..when he gets Booked for ellen…Andy Cohen it’s fluff shows where there are no hard hitting questions or any questions relating to his past no backstory of his life .20/20 could do a great story..maybe Adam wanted to be on these light weight shows…cant be complaing if doesn’t show you in a good light…
Donston
They both claimed they wanted to embrace a certain “responsibilty”. But from the get-go they seemed more interested in attention for attention’s sake and self-promotion. However, like I said, it’s not really about these two dudes. I have nothing against them and their hustle. And it’s not about the shows they’re appeaing on. It’s the lack of alternatives.
tham
You mean the lack of alternatives in Russia?
johnnymcmxxx
Rippon is entertaining but Cohen: Ugh ugh ugh! And whoever the “Housewife” is, she is simply another unworthy unjustified celebrity. Cohen and his housewives should all disappear permanently. Piss off Cohen.
projo
Adam Rippon is becoming the Paul Lynde of 2018 – A sassy, fembot stereotype that gets bitchier and sassier as you wind him up for the camera
tham
You get that gay people don’t use straight put downs right?
You get that, right?
Prax07
At least this Brandi woman said what most of us are thinking…
Geeker
Can Cohen just go away already?
Josh447
Really Donston,
“But from the get-go they seemed more interested in attention for attention’s sake and self-promotion.”
They both called out the entire Trump / Pence cabinet onto the world stage, repeatedly, on gay rights violations and you think these are self serving shallow bots seeking self promotion? Really? World you possibly care to think again?
amigay
I’d be hard pressed to think of anyone more creepy than Andy Cohen….well, maybe Mike Pence.
pickles
Amigay: Andy may not be your cup of tea but he’s a staunch liberal, surprisingly well spoken on politics and he’s one of ours. Maybe try accepting our peeps? It’s refreshing and makes you cuter.
And for the gays dissing on Adam being femme and slutty- is that a problem? I think it’s fucking fresh and delightful. Let’s be a little more accepting.
alanballs
Ah, come on Queerty snarks and haters: let the young man have his fun and moments in the spotlight.
Realizing you’ve all been through that stage; winning your Olympic medals, appearing on Ellen, sparring VPOTUS on Twitter, attending the Academy Awards, and meeting your celebrity idols…yes, to you it’s all boring now….but…..let Adam enjoy his moments of fame and glory, and don’t blame him, too much, for milking every precious second.
Josh447
Bravo! Well said.
Lacuevaman
well put, indeed… but he has a long way to go ….at least for me…to be some kind of hero or role model..
Josh447
Awesome….bringin on the love….

Lacuevaman
Can’t they all just not be so obviously queer?
tham
Yeah, gay people always says that…always.
Lacuevaman
tham….god what wisdom you have
Josh447
I get it. I used to skoff at that, until I realized it’s an immutable trait. I’ve met many straight guys that I would peg as gay in a minute bc of their mannerisms. But they were totally straight.
I find Adam to have an amazing mix of strength confidence and love which makes him quite endearing. Not a nasty word has dropped from his mouth into his media blitz. In fact it’s quite the opposite. His mannerisms and intentions to help gay kids and lgbtq everywhere seems to be part of leading the pack for gay people world wide. He is unique. Very unique in his presence indeed.
Lacuevaman
what the phuck, he aint unique…he the archetype for today’s young sissy-ass queen.
justgeo
Why is every one still stuck trying to be Joan Rivers? She id DEAD let’s all CANONIZE her and move on. Cliche is Cliche with a cock in your mouth ass or vage. Find a new way to be gay and funny and please retire Andy Cohen so stale and predictable all of the time back to grandma’s bingo hall !!!!!
CrazyAL
Rippon, is just another twink! #NotMyType!
Notright
So tired of hearing about this queen. Adam Rippon is just another catty twink that can skate. And? Gus Kenworthy is just a catty gay guy that didn’t even metal but loves to talk sh*t. I feel queerty might be out of ideas now. https://packedman.com/will-you-find-love/
