We thought Chaz Bono had really been accepted as a mainstream celebrity when he got a slot
on Dancing With the Stars, but now he’s done something to cement his place as another run-of-the-mill Hollywood scion: He’s announced he and fiancée Jennifer Elia have called off their engagement and “are no longer a couple,” according to TMZ.
(Another sign Bono has been accepted by the mainstream: he’s getting hounded by TMZ!)
Howard Bragman, Bono’s PR flak, tells TMZ, that the two “leave this relationship with great love, respect and affection toward one another.” After more than a decade dating, Bono proposed to Elia earlier this year during filming of his series, Being Chaz.
Wait, a trumped-up proposal for the sake of a reality show? Chaz is on his way to dethroning Kim Kardashian as America’s sweetheart!
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.

@Isaac C: Really, any need? Perhaps you should consider being a decent person instead of being so completely devoid of compassion for people you don’t know or understand. That’s a big “parhaps”, though.

Prediction: Chaz will become Chastity once again in the New Year.

I knew Chaz didn’t have the balls to go through with it.

Who the hell wants to marry a person who feels like a fat man in the inside so became a fat man? This is an image problem.
Ian
That’s it. I’ve reached my limit. Chaz is just another “child of a star”, regardless of gender identity. I give this a big “whatever.”
Jake
Why should we care about a no-talent non-celeb?
Sean
I’m sorry Chaz is a huge loser who wanted more attention. Epic fail.

Just shows you can change your sex and still end up suffering “Lesbian Bed Death.”

I find Christopher’s ‘joke’ in bad taste regardless of who it is about. Just throwing that out there.

@soakman: Well he is an asshole.

So is anyone who allows his political movement to be jerked around by demented celebrities.
