A gay "Moonlighting"?


It was great to see Doug Spearman ("Noah's Arc") and Tony Tripoli ("Fashion House") last night at the party Time-Warner threw to celebrate the LA launch of LOGO. We were gabbing about this and since I'm such a nosy bitch, I asked these two gorgeous guys if they are an item! They're not. But they want to play former boyfriends on TV! While Spearman is slated to appear in the big-screen version of "Noah's Arc," he wants to maintain a presence on the small screen. So he and Tripoli have pitched a show to LOGO called "Hot Guys With Guns."
OK, that title along had me at hello. They describe it as two exes who work together solving crimes who have that "Moonlighting" Cybill Shepherd-Bruce Willis sexual tension between them.
"It the 'will they or won't they?' thing," says Tripoli.
Tripoli worked with Morgan Fairchild on the MyTV Network's soap "Fashion House" playing a designer working for a firm run by Bo Derek. He and Spearman met with Fairchild to try and convince her to take a role on the show.
"You're not really gay until you've had lunch with Morgan Fairchild!" Tripoli jokes.
Personally, the whole thing sounds really intriguing and I wish them luck it getting it off the ground!
