An Open Letter To Taraji P. Henson

Dear Taraji P. Henson,

Please take a seat and think about what you said.

Back story: Henson’s former ‘Empire’ co-star, Jussie Smollett, was found guilty on five counts of felony disorderly conduct for making false reports to police that he was the victim of a hate crime in January 2019. Smollett maintained his innocence and denied the accounts of Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, two men he knew from his TV show, who say they were paid by Smollett to stage a fake hate crime attack to garner sympathetic media coverage.

And Henson thinks, not that Smollett is innocent, but that the sentence of 5 months is too much because Smollett has already paid for his crimes by losing his career and his ability to work in Hollywood.

Okay, Taraji, that may make sense, but then you take a swan dive into incredulity when you suggest that Smollett’s sentence is akin to the murder of Emmett Till:

“I am not here to debate you on his innocence but we can agree that the punishment does not fit the crime. Emmett Till was brutally beat and ultimately murdered because of a lie and none of the people involved with his demise spent one day in jail, even after Carolyn Bryant admitted that her claims were false. No one was hurt or killed during Jussie’s ordeal. He has already lost everything, EVERYTHING! To me as an artist not able to create that in itself is punishment enough. He can’t get a job. No one in Hollywood will hire him and again as an artist who loves to create, that is prison. My prayer is that he is freed and put on house arrest and probation because in this case that would seem fair. Please #freejussie.”

Jussie Smollett is no Emmett Till; Jussie Smollett is Carolyn Bryant. Jussie Smollett is the liar. Jussie Smollett is alive. Emmett Till is dead.

And., because of what Smollett was found guilty of, the next time a gay man or woman reports a hate crime in Chicago, or maybe anywhere, there may be a sense of the crime being faked for attention., Jussie Smollett, because of his lie, has made it harder for LGBTQ+ Americans, and People of Color, to report a crime without someone, anyone, thinking it’s a falsehood.

Jussie Smollett is no Emmet Till who did nothing wrong and was murdered because a woman lied. Jussie Smollett is alive and in jail because he did something wrong and he lied about it.

Seriously Taraji, he is no Emmett Till, and you should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting such.

PS While her Instagram post drew some 47,000 likes, after it went viral she disabled her comment section.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Oh Jussie. Former Empire actor, and Gay Boy Who Cried Wolf,  Jussie Smollett ALLEGEDLY had a sexual relationship with one of his ALLEGED ‘attackers,’ Ambimbola ‘Abel’ Osundairo.

Apparently, the couple, before Abel ‘bashed’ Jussie for some of his Empire coins, used to party together and go to a Chicago bathhouse to, um, well, bathe?

Oh Jussie, you don’t hire your sidepiece to ALLEGEDLY beat you up for sympathy press and a bigger contract for a TV show. Everybody knows that.

This doesn’t look odd at all … Bruce Willis is self-isolating with ex-wife Demi Moore, and his three oldest children and their boyfriends and Demi’s assistant rather than self-isolate with his current wife, Emma Hemming, and their two young children. A source—Demi, no doubt because, seriously, what else does she have to do—says:

“Demi and Emma are close, and all three get on great as a big blended family. There are no issues at all. Emma needed to stay in L.A. with the young kids.”

Emma had to stay in LA while Bruce chose to stay with Demi? Uh huh; look, maybe it is all kumbaya in the Willis-Moore-Hemming household, but still  Bruce chose to self-isolate with his grown kids and not his younger ones?

Some JLo juice? Okay … for whatever reason, Jose Canseco is still trying to convince the world that Alex Rodriquez is a cheating on JLo.

It all began last year, when Jose was watching World of Dance and Lopez, who at the time was newly engaged to A-Rod, and this annoyed Jose who claimed A-Rod was having an affair with his ex-wife Jessica Canseco—which Jessica has denied. Sadly, no one cared about Jose’s claims, but that hasn’t stopped him.

So, since no one cares—and let’s be clear, this will be another notch on JLo’s headboard and she be divorced from A-rod … if they ever marry … quicker than you can say How many times have you been married?—Canseco took to Twitter to wish:

“Happy Easter to everyone except Alex Rodriguez.”

Ooooh, burn. I love grown-assed men acting like thirteen-year-old girls. But then Jose followed that up with a message directed at JLo herself:

“Jennifer Lopez I have something to show you for your eyes only you will not regret it please contact Morgan at 702 374 3735”

Okay, first things first, who the fuck is Morgan? And how many Twit-heads tried calling him or her? And lastly, what the fuck is wrong with Jose Canseco? Did the steroids cause him to turn into a mean girl?

It looks like one Anna Wintour won’t make Ricky Gervais’ Naughty List because Anna wants y’all to know that she has taken a pay cut during the pandemic.

Conde Nast, publisher of numerous magazines including Vogue, decided to tackle the COVID-19 situation with pay cuts and reduced work hours. CEO Roger Lynch is taking a 50% pay cut in an attempt to keep the company afloat, and a “temporary” pay cut will affect 10 to 20 percent of employees, but only those making $100,000 a year or more. It will go into effect May 1st.

Wintour—who ALLEGEDLY rakes in about $2 million a year—and I thought it’d be more—is included in the temporary pay cut group and will see her salary will be decreased by 20%.

Yes, people, Anna will have to make do on $1.6 million. I am starting a GoFundMe at once.

Blac Chyna. Gurl. Did you learn nothing from Tori Spelling trying to use the pandemic to make people pay her to be on social media with them? Or, are you just that stupid?

Rhetorical question. You see, Chyna is selling FaceTime calls for $950 and social media follow backs for $250.

I wouldn’t pay this talentless miscreant social media whore 2 bucks to follow me home with my groceries, but it is funny to think that Chyna thinks she’s worth $950 on social media and Tori wanted just $95.

After learning how hard Sam Smith has it in their London mansion, or how Justin Timberlake is struggling to raise ONE kid in the middle of a gated luxury community in Montana, or how Ellen feels like she’s living Orange Is The New Black But This Time In A Montecito Mansion … now we have Justin Bieber, and his streetwear model  wife, Hailey Baldwin, along with their BFF, Kendall Jenner, in an Instagram livestream talking about how important it is to acknowledge their privilege during these trying times.

Hailey hovers in the background making duck faces while Justin lets everyone know how blessed and rich they are, and they shouldn’t feel bad for it since they “worked” hard for it. Yes, while millions are out of work, and millions more have no healthcare, and thousands upon thousands are dying each and every day,  Justin and Hailey sit in their mansion and spew shiz like:

“How blessed are we to be able to like… a lot of people obviously in this time have a crappy situation. You know, they look at us and obviously, we’ve worked hard for where we’re at, so it’s like, you can’t feel bad for the things we have.”

At which point Kendall chimes in:

“[We’re] so blessed. I think about it all the time.”

Cut to the chase: this is what celebrities look and sound like when they get no attention. And to sit in your mansion and talk about how lucky you are because you worked so hard seems to imply that anyone without a mansion and servants and privilege doesn’t work hard at all.

The greatest payback would be for people to remember how these asshats acted, and when all this is over, stop buying their idiotic music or watching their stupid shows or, and this will kill these media whores, stop following and liking and sharing.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ....

In a recent interview with Kim Kardastrophe—which she gave to her lunatic husband Kanye ‘Leviticus’ Kardastrophe for a show I believe is called Fame-Seeking Fame-Whores Chatting With Fame-Seeking Fame-Whores—Kim discussed her future plans:

“I see us living on a ranch in Wyoming, occasionally going to Palm Springs and our home in Los Angeles — and becoming a lawyer.”

She wants to move to Wyoming?

Kimmy? Need help packing?

Remember the good old days when Cardi B feuded with Nicki Minaj and threw shoes at her? Well, Cardi has moved on from Nicki and is now doing battle with … wait for it, it’s totally Cardi … a bunch of 10-year-olds.

Cardi went on an Insta-Rant last week, shrieking:

“Not gonna let no little f **- king white boys come at me all motherf **- king day long. Motherf **- king shut the f **- k up and stay in your motherf **- king place. Go drink your motherf **- king milk, bitch. F ** k.”

Now we’ve learned that those “mother**king white boys” are four 10-year-old quadruplet brothers who post their music on their own Instagram account, and posted a “diss track” directed at Cardi two weeks ago, featuring the not-so-nice, but clearly g-rated lyrics, “You belong in a zoo” and “They could fix your teeth, but they couldn’t fix your face” and “I don’t know what’s faker: your life or your butt.”

The boys—who go by the rap names Hollywood, Slim Z, Bonez McKoy and Mr. Great—say they targeted Cardi because “she’s been a bully” to other rappers in a number of songs.

And that sent grown-assed woman Cardi B into such a frenzy that she is attacking children.

PS Cardi has a child of her own. I wonder what she’ll do about that child sassing her.

So, about a month ago, Miley Cyrus and soon-to-be ex-husband Liam Hemsworth called it quits.

And ALLEGEDLY it was due to Miley cheating on Liam with Brody Jenner’s girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter.

And because that hurt her ego so much, to be accused of being a cheater, Miley took to social media to claim she wasn’t a cheater and she didn’t cheat with Kaitlynn Carter and y’all need to shut up.

This week Kaitlynn and Miley have moved in together. Uh huh.

That whole Jussie Smollett being attacked by MAGA hat wearing white supremacists story will just not die, and this latest bit is the craziest part yet.

If you remember, Smollett was accused by police of staging the racist hate crime for attention, and he was charged for faking it until all the charges were mysteriously dropped. Then the City of Chicago then demanded Smollett pay back the $130,000 for what was spent on police overtime and other costs while investigating the made-up crime; Smollett refused and so the city is suing him.

And, this is the crazy part, in an effort to keep Smollett from paying back what he cost the city of Chicago, his legal team—Jacoby and Meyers?—is actually blaming the extra costs on the police department themselves because … because … that had the nerve to investigate the false story in the first place.

Uh huh. Smollett’s lawyer, one William J. Quinlan, is trying to convince the court that it isn’t Smollett’s responsibility to pay for anything because if the cops didn’t believe him they should have just let it go.

Quinlan also claims that although Smollett maintains the attack was real when he filed the report, and he had no idea that the police would spend so much of their time and resources to find his ALLEGED attackers and for that reason alone he shouldn’t have to pay back a dime.

Jussie? Honey? Your career is over. You will, rightly or wrongly, for the rest of your life be thought of as the man who cried Hate Crime when two people he knew beat him up on the street.

Just pay back the money, go get a job in strip mall somewhere, and be quiet. Please.

Wendy Williams has had a messy few years, what with her own substance abuse issues; her husband cheating on her; denying to anyone and everyone that her husband was a cheater; her husband buying a house for his side-piece right down the street from the one he shared with Williams; the mistress having her husband’s baby.

But now Williams wants y’all to believe that she had a plan this whole time.

Appearing on The View, Williams says she always knew her husband, Kevin Hunter, was cheating on her with Sharina Hudson and yet says she chose to stay with him:

“I’m not a selfish mom. I’m a very plot-ative individual. Like I will plot on you. That’s why I’m going into Season 11 and he’s changing Pampers.”

Williams ALLEGES that stayed with Hunter because of their son, Kevin Hunter Jr., despite the fact that her friends begged her to leave:

“So I said, ‘No, no, no, no, no. I will stay here. I will make sure his braces get tightened properly … I will drive him to the SAT prep courses. I will help him do his essays for college, and now he goes to college in Miami.”

Funny, she could have done all that and still kicked her adulterous husband to the curb; lots of women do. And, to hear some tell it, she’s still knee deep in the messiness.

Late in 2018,Williams appeared drunk on her own show, slurring her words, and later blamed that mess on painkillers  she took after fracturing her shoulder.

And, Williams claims she was already sober—clearing meaning that at some time before she was not sober—when she entered a sober-living facility earlier this year; and she ALLEGES she was just using the place for a little time away; I guess all the hotels in New York were booked?

But a source claims Williams was, and still is, abusing alcohol, claiming Williams left the sober-living facility to get drunk after Hudson gave birth, and that she has recently gone into rehab in Florida for her issues.

Here’s the deal Wendy … you’ve spent the better part of two years denying your husband was cheating and then suddenly you want us all to believe you had a plan to stay with him until your eighteen-year-old son passed his SATs before you filed for divorce?

I believe that as much as I believe sober living facilities are a place to unwind, and appearing drunk in public is because of too much aspirin.

Take a seat …a good long seat.

I don’t have a Carlos story this week, really, because we are dealing with some health issues for his parents. Things in Mexico City are kind of a mess and the family there is trying to help his mother and father; Carlos, for his part, will be given Power of Attorney, but in Mexico, nothing is ever easy.

We have an appointment with the Mexican Consulate in North Carolina for obtaining the Power of Attorney, but just learned that he’ll need two Powers of Attorney, one for the sale of property, houses and cars etc., and the other for making healthcare decisions. And to get both Powers we need two separate appointments at the Consulate and will have to drive to Raleigh to get things done.

Not a huge schlep but … I overheard Carlos on the phone, trying to make the appointments, and he was telling the person that we live six hours away and don’t want to make two trips, and could we get both appointments the same day.

Yes, we can. Carlos was thrilled and came out to tell me that our first appointment will be May 31st at 8:15AM! But then I reminded him that he told the woman we live six hours away, and unless we were going up the day before we’d have leave Smallville at around 2AM.

That was when he freaked, and squawked and railed, until I told him it was only about a three-hour drive …we’ll still have to leave around 5AM, but we should get both done in the same day, and really, that’s all that matters.

Still, the look on his face when he thought we’d have to leave at 2AM was kinda worth it.

I don’t usually like to share horrible news, heartbreaking news, gut-wrenching news, but if I keep this in, it might just kill me.

Idris.

Elba.

Is.

Married.

And NOT to me! Idris married Sabrina Dhowre last weekend in Marrakesh.

I would have married him in Marrakesh. Budapest. Muncie.

My heart will go on, cracks and all.

Well, someone is desperate to keep their job.

Brad Parscale, _____’s 2020 campaign manager, anticipates the re-election bid will cost at least $1 billion.

It costs that much to keep a racist in office.

On the Woman’s Right to Choose front, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that the state’s Constitution protects a woman’s right to an abortion.

And that ruling now stands as the law of the land in Kansas with no path for an appeal, making abortion legal in Kansas even if Roe v. Wade is ever reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Now, if only other states could be like Kansas.

Many Americans were shocked by their tax bills this month, but the new GOP Tax Scam really went after our nation's Gold Star families, who saw the taxes owed on their survivor benefits skyrocket.

Theresa Jones has been a single mother to Anthony and Hunter for almost six years since her husband Landon died Operation Enduring Freedom in 2013.

It's been a challenge for Jones, especially financially, but they’ve been able to stay afloat because of the survivor benefits they received … until now.

While her sons each received about $15,000 in survivor benefits last year, Theresa  Jones was hit with a tax bill of $5,400 for them, up from $1,100 from the previous year.

Because a surviving spouse can't receive both Veteran Affairs and Defense Department benefits simultaneously in full, Gold Star parents often sign the taxable DOD benefits over to their children. But the new GOP Tax Scam puts the children of dead veterans into a bracket known as the "kiddie tax" which sits at 37%, much higher than their previous tax rate.

The Treasury Department says it is "evaluating what can be done to solve this issue" but let’s be clear, while the GOP and the Hair Furor love to send men and women to war, when our veterans return home, or goddess forbid, never come home, this country, this government, this administration screws them.

Ain’t that America.

One of my favorite actors,  Judith Light has been named the 2019 recipient of the Tony Awards' honorary Isabelle Stevenson Award.

Light, a Tony winner herself for performances in both The Assembled Parties and Other Desert Cities, will be presented the humanitarian honor in recognition of her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and in the fight against HIV/AIDS, from her early involvement in the AIDS Memorial Quilt in the '80s to partaking in the 100-mile African AIDS Trek in 2002 to her continued efforts with such groups as Broadway Cares/Equity Fight AIDS, GLAAD, and LGBT community centers around the country .

"The HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ+ communities are inspirations and demonstrations of how to be and live in the world; courageous, honorable, and uplifting. They inspire me and it is my privilege to be of service to them. I am humbled by this recognition from my theater family, whom I so respect, honor, and love."—Judith Light

Love her, and no one deserves the recognition more.

… is MSNBC guest Chandelle Summer who says that because Pete Buttigieg kissed his husband—a loving gesture made by heterosexual candidates nearly every single time they appear with their spouses—he was making his sexual orientation “an issue” :

“Clearly Pete Buttigieg has made his gayness an issue in this campaign. He’s brought his husband up on stage. They shared a kiss during his announcement. … I think he made it a huge issue. He talked about his spouse, Chasten, and the fact that they were married. This is not a typical candidate. He made it an issue. He could have ignored it. He could have said nothing. And people would speculate about it. But he made it an issue.”

His gayness, and stop with the ridiculousness of that word already, isn’t an issue. Like any other candidate he introduced his husband and gave him a quick kiss.

It’s called ‘love,’ Chandelle, and maybe when you find it, you’ll understand it when you see it.

Sorry, not sorry, Jussie Smollett.

While  Empire will be returning to FOX for a sixth season Jussie Smollett will not, at least as things stand right now, be appearing on the show.

You made your bed ….

I have been watching A Discovery of Witches on BBC America because I love all things witch and vampire and demon, and this one takes the cake.

It also has some Hot Men and I do love me some of those, too, like … clockwise … Daniel Ezra, who plays Nathaniel Wilson, one of the demons; and David Newman, who is Stephen Proctor; also, Edward Bluemel plays Marcus Whitmore, bloodsucker; and lastly, Gregg Chillin, who plays swarthy vampire Domenico Michele.

Huh, maybe it’s just the vampires I love?

Well, this isn’t so much about Carlos this week, although in the vein of being fully transparent, it’s been a rough week for us at Casa Bob y Carlos, with tempers flaring and feelings hurt. And by a “week” I mean a day and a half because, though we rarely fight, when we do, it’s said and done and over rather quickly, and then we move on.

Still, as I said, this is about me; I’m a faller, in that I’m clumsy and I fall down, not a lot, but when I do …

Years back, living in Miami, I was taking our dog for a walk; we lived in a gated community, so the streets were safe and quiet. As I was returning home, and crossing the street in front of our house, I checked both ways …no cars, no people. I crossed, and in the middle of the road I stepped on a pebble …an actual pea-sized pebble, and down to the ground I went. Then, as I started to stand up, I noticed there were now three cars in the road, all stopping to see the oaf in the road, as well as several groupings of neighbors who’d appeared out of nowhere.

Cut to Smallville … I needed something from the garage, so I stepped down the two steps into the garage, got what I needed, and as I started back into the kitchen, I clearly forgot we had two steps, and hit the bottom one and started to fall through the open doorway. It was all very slo-mo, and I distinctly remember, as I was falling, the one thought that came into my head … God that kitchen floor is ugly.

And now this week, we had a couple of cold night, so I was bundled up in bed, with Tuxedo sleeping on my side as he likes to do. I wanted to turn over and so I gently nudged him off me, apologized for disturbing him, and turned over; but when I reached for my pillow, it wasn’t there. It must have fallen to the floor, so, eyes closed because, in addition to being a faller, I’m an idiot, I reached down to get my pillow not realizing I was lying right on the edge, and fell out of bed, dropping the three feet to the floor.

No harm, no foul, but it did wake Carlos—though how that happened I don’t know because the man sleeps through hurricanes—and he asked what happened and if I was okay. Luckily, I had just bruised my ego and as I got back into bed and was about to doze off, and just as Tuxedo perched himself on my back again, Carlos muttered sleepily:

“Should I get you a crib?”

I was too embarrassed to kill him.

Rightwingnut Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro—which I believe is Spanish for Donald ____—said he believes that the crimes of the Holocaust can be forgiven, though not forgotten.

More than six million dead, but let’s forgive? Can we also forget that earlier this month, Bolsonaro visited the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called Nazism a leftist ideology? Can we forget that, in 1998, as federal deputy in Brazil’s Congress, Bolsonaro defended students at a military school in Porto Alegre who voted for Adolf Hitler, among other figures, as the historic character they admired the most?

No, we can forget; and we won’t forgive.

Jessy Taylor, an Instagram “influencer”—whatever that means—with more than 100,000 followers, had her account reinstated by the site a week after it was removed in error after it kept getting reported as spam.

Taylor complained, with a straight face I imagine, that losing her account felt like “a murder” and because that’s how it felt, she reported the closure of her account to the police who told her she couldn’t compare what happened to a homicide.

Someone needs to lay hands on this girl, because this is a direct quote from Jessy Taylor:

“I’m nothing without my following.”

Oh honey, I have news for you …

And as if we needed proof that Republicans are dumb—some, to be fair, not all—let’s listen to Congressman Thomas Massie questioning John Kerry’s credentials, specifically his college degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.

Thomas Massie: “It sounds like you’re questioning the credentials of the president’s advisers currently, but I think we should question your credentials today. Isn’t it true you have a science degree from Yale?”

John Kerry: “Bachelor of Arts degree.”

Massie: “Is it a political science degree?”

Kerry: “Yes, political science.”

Massie: “So, how do you get a Bachelor of Arts in a science?”

Kerry: “Well, it’s a liberal arts education and degree … it’s a Bachelor—”

Massie: “OK, so it’s not really science. So, I think it’s somewhat appropriate that someone with a pseudoscience degree is here pushing pseudoscience in front of our committee today.”

Kerry, after a long pause: “Are you serious? I mean, this is really a serious happening here?”

It is, because Thomas Massie thinks a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science is some kind of scientific degree. And Thomas Massie is an elected official, y’all.

The fire that destroyed the roof and at least one spire of Notre Dame is out now, but embers of stupidity linger on …

As messages of support and donations to rebuild the iconic structure—nearly a billion dollars pledged so far—came in, our president sent out that Tweet:

“So horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!”

In response, the official Twitter account of the Sécurité Civile—the French equivalent of FEMA—responded:

“Hundreds of firemen of the Paris Fire Brigade are doing everything they can to bring the terrible #NotreDame fire under control. All means are being used, except for water-bombing aircrafts. which, if used, could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral.”

American Twitterers also responded, reminding the world, and _____, of his own idiotic responses to devastating fires in California—“Rake the forest”—and his failure to even mention the recent arsonist attacks on three black churches in Louisiana.

Luckily, a real President tweeted his thoughts; Barack Obama said:

“Notre Dame is one of the world’s great treasures, and we’re thinking of the people of France in your time of grief. It’s in our nature to mourn when we see history lost—but it’s also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can.”

And then Presidential hopeful, Pete Buttigieg offered his thoughts to the French people, by speaking French:

“Au peuple de France je voudrais dire que la cathédrale Notre Dame, c’était comme un cadeau à l’espèce humaine. Nous partageons la douleur mais nous vous remercions aussi de ce cadeau à la civilisation.”

"To the people of France, I would like to say that Notre-Dame Cathedral was like a gift to the human race. We share the pain, but we also thank you for this gift to civilization."

But hey, water tankers, you know, and thoughts and prayers.

Last week, _____ took on freshman Congresswoman Ilhan Omar over a couple of words in a much longer statement about 9/11; _____ tried to paint Omar as anti-American, and in doing so fanned the flames of his base, when then sent death threats to Omar and her family.

On the upside, though, and perhaps a sign of the times, in the days following _____’s hate speech, Omar raised some $832,000, most of it—$415,000—coming from people who gave less than $200.

People are growing tired of _____’s divisive hate speech … well, except for his racist base.

Remember disgraced former GOP Congressman Aaron Schock? Of the turquoise belt and the Downton Abbey office remodel?

Well, he apparently spent the weekend at Coachella partying with a bunch of hot shirtless gay men, and was ALLEGEDLY intimate with at least one; but here’s the rub … and not the kind of rub that most gay men might want.

While serving as the Illinois Representative, Schock’s voting record was decidedly anti-LGBTQ … he voted against adding ‘sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability’ to the federal hate crime protection groups, against the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ and for the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

If he’s gay, he’s the worst kind of closeted, hypocritical, sell my community down the river, self-loathing kind of gay. So, when you finally come out Aaron, please note that many of us will remember your hate, for yourself and our community.

Speaking of hateful gays, it looks like Empire actor, and hate crime faker, Jussie Smollett is no longer under consideration for a role in the upcoming Broadway revival of Richard Greenberg’s 2003 play, Take Me Out, about a closeted baseball player.

The Daily Mail reported that producers were ready to announce the casting of Smollett and Zachary Quinto but plans changed following the late January incident in which Smollett ALLEGEDLY faked being attacked in a hate crime.

Again, we know Jussie lied because he said it was two white men; he said he could see the skin around their eyes in the masks they wore. But we also know it was two black men—ALLEGEDLY hired by Smollett-who actually beat him up.

So, Jussie …sorry, not sorry. Until you take responsibility for your actions and explain why two men who knew you attacked you, to me your career is over.

Bye Felicia,

Oh dear … Benjamin Poirier … model, dancer.

The body; the ass; the way he sits nekkid around the house, or perks up a window sill. The dance!

Uh huh.
