The great thing about working the red carpet at the GLAAD Awards is you get enough interviews to last for weeks! I've got quite a few more still in the can but have to be stingy and put them out at a rate of about one a day - hope you don't mind.

One of the people I spoke with was Jeff Lewis of Bravo's "Flipping Out." I had only seen the first episode of the show, admitted that to Jeff, and just had to wing my way through our conversation. I know he's a house flipper who is always a bit on edge shall we say.

Here is our little chat:

Q.There's a second season of the show coming up I hear. What has it been like to be yourself on TV and to have that be embraced by viewers. People think you're interesting at the very least, right?
A. Well, I think I've become the poster boy for OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and I actually am proud of that because I think it has shown the general public that you can still - I don't like to use the word suffer because I don't feel like I'm suffering from OCD - but because I do have this disorder, I still have been able to channel it into a very positive and lucrative field. I don't really view it as limiting because in a way it has been such an asset for me and it's helped me take my product to the next level because I see things that people don't see because of the OCD.
Q. Do you ever watch the show and cringe, just say, 'Oh my God!'
A. There has been several moments where I wish I could hit rewind and take it back. And usually - and this again is one of the symptoms of OCD and ADD (Attention Deficit Disporder) - I do sometimes have trouble controlling my temper but I've been working on that. I'm in therapy every Wednesday at 10 a.m. and I really feel like at this moment, I have much more control over my reactions and my anger. So it's really been very beneficial, the show.

Q. You're able to see yourself.
A. Absolutely. Unfortunately, it had to be that dramatic, to see myself in front of that many people and cringe like you say in order for me to want to improve myself. Which I've been doing.

Q. Are you already filming the second season?
A. We are already filming it, i think we have another 6-7 weeks. It's supposed to air in the summer.

Q. Anything different from the first season?
A. Yes, this one actually is a little different. I think this will, believe it or not, top last season because it's been difficult. We;ve had to adjust to a changing (real estate) market and I have employees and I still have to generate business so we are branching out into other forms of business. We have been forced to find other ways to survive and I think the viewers are really gonna enjoy watching it and going along with us on this struggle.

Q. So how's your love life?
A. Uh, it's been a little slow to be honest. I've been working a lot. It's a little slow.

Here is a bio of Jeff from the show during which he talks about his background:

Good thing Jack Mackenroth is a good sport. I had what seemed to be one of those Joan Rivers red carpet moments at the GLAAD Awards when I said, "Here's Jack from 'Workout." He chuckled and corrected me. In my defense, I knew which show, it just came out wrong.

Jack, 39, got as much attention for his design skills as for his studly body during his time on the show which was sadly cut short when he had a health crisis (a potentially dangerous staph infection). But he's fine now and looking as terrific as ever.

I asked him what he's been up to and what life has been like for him post-"Runway: "I have so many projects going on, it's been a great experience overall.Any exposure on TV is amazing. I'm designing, I'm here in LA meeting with networks and pitching show ideas and seeing where it all goes."

What kind of show, Jack? "Can't saaaaay."

Jack filmed a scene for the "Sex and the City" movie that has him kissing another guy on the streets of New York. This is where he met star Sarah Jessica Parker who did a guest-stint on "Runway" this past season.
"I've actually seen her at an event since then and chatted with her a little bit," he said. "She's great. We're BFF's!"

Jack has not yet seen the movie, out May 30, and doesn't know if his cameo made the final cut.
"It took 12 takes," he confessed.

So, did he keep messing it up on purpose?
"No, he was straight so he kept messing up. It was good, By the time we were done, I told him, 'Now you've officially kissed a boy.'"

Does he enjoy being a TV heartthrob?
"I don't mind. No. I don't think I am but thank you for saying so. Hey, in a few days I'll be 39 so I'm just rocking it out."

Oh well.
Dick won "Big Brother 8" over his daughter, Danielle by a score of 5-2. I found out tonight while I was at the 40th Anniversary Gala for The Advocate and bumped into Marcellos Reynoilds who had come straight to the party from the taping of the finale at CBS.
"I knew he was gonna win," Marcellos said. "A girl cannot win 'Big Brother' unless they get to the end with another girl. There has to be two girls at the end for a woman to win 'Big Brother.' If Danielle had put guys into the sequester house instead of mostly women, she might have won. Guys can kind of let go of things. But she put miostly girls in there and at the end you get the 'Mean Girls' syndrome."
He says he thinks Daddy Dick will give his daughter some of the $500,000 he won but "she made $50,000 for three months. That's quite a nice chunk of change."
Here are some photos from the final show including the seven evicted houseguests who made it to sequester house and onto the jury. The finale also featured all of the houseguests from the entire some including 'Out In Hollywood' faves Nick and Mike...

I know it's all hugs and kisses etc. but I still feel that Dick's behavior was so rude and obnoxious that the hoiuseguests were fools for not voting him out. And his burning Jen with a cigarette should have either gotten him out of the house or suspended from HOH and POV competitions for a week or two,
Instead, CBS and 'Big Brother' producers did nothing.

OK, Evil Dick and his spawn of the devil daughter Daniele (did I just really write that?) are the final two. More on that nauseating development later. First though, I gotta say that watching Zach last night on "Big Brother 8" as he was hanging on to that key under the pouring water, I thought, "He looks HOT!" And the way he got all ferocious on Dick was so cool, he shut the chain-smoking, tatooed, pierced pain in the a** up for once!

But the high of Zach winning part one of HOH was short-lived as he stumbled in part three when he and Dick were asked six questions and had the choice of A or B. They guessed just about every time and it turned out that Dick guessed right just one question more than Zach. That resulted in...

...the duo being in the final two. Dick proclaimed them the best team in "Big Brother" history and blah, blah, blah, blah. The truth is, the other houseguests were complete morons in letting this pair remain week after week. When it comes time for the final vote (I assume the Dicks are going to split the prize money), I think Danielle will win the game because she is the less loathed of the two and won a total of seven competitions. Dick was obnoxious to the point where he should have been disqualified and has damaged the "Big Brother" franchise, in my opinion.

Meanwhile, GuyTVBlog has compiled another Nick/Mike photo essay that you can enjoy after the jump and remember better times in the "Big Brother" house...

It was a pretty sweet episode of "Big Brother *" tonight. It started out in nauseating fashion with the father-daughter duo of Dick and Daniele jumping around and giggling like they had won the entire game already because they had made the final four. They shut Zach out so they could whisper and giggle about him in the next room.
Well, payback's a bitch.
Zach goes on to win the HOH compeition and suddenly, Daniele and Dick are vulnerable. Zach nominates daddy and daughter. They are indignant that he would dare to do this and vow revenge. Whatever does happen, it was awfully s-weet to see them squirm. Daniele made a strategic error when in stating her case pre-nominations, she told Zach that he would lose against her dad in the final two because Dick played the game best.
But the jury votes on the winner and there are likely plenty of former houseguests who probably think his bullying tactics were out-of-line rather than brilliant. What the little blonde waitress should have said was: "Zach, everyone loves Jameka. She does not have an enemy in the house. She will win if you are in the final two with her. She's gotta go."
Oh well.

Now this is how I like it. It was a double-eviction night on "Big Brother 8" with Jessica out on the first vote then her little boytoy Eric out on the second. Jameka was up both times against them as Evil Dick, Daniele and Zach pulled all the strings. Eric is funny but he was also a little worm. On his way out he said to the the evil trio: "Just keep in mind, you sent the Phliadelphia lawyer to the jury house."
As smart as they think they are, I gotta wonder if they were a little foolish in keeping Jameka. If she's in the final two, there's no way she won't win the whole thing. She has no enemies in the house and has managed to survive despite not being able to compete for HOH for five weeks.
Anywho, I gotta give the evil daddy-daughter combo their due: they have manipulated everyone and come back from the brink more than once and they have won clutch competitions when they needed to. That is why they are in the final four and Jessica and Eric - who made a deal with these devils a few weeks back - are not.

Yawn. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Oops, sorry. I was about to write a little "Big Brother 8" recap and the thought of it made me a little sleepy. I just want this show to limp along to its conclusion. Let's face it, whoever makes it to the final two opposite evil Dick or mean girl Danielle will win the money. If they make it to the final two, they deserve the money.
Zach, as HOH, nominated nice girl Jameka and mostly nice girl Jessica who put him up last week. I can't pretend to care but I will say that I'd like to see Jessica go because she made a deal with the devil (Dick) a few weeks back and betrayed her friends.
She should find out what it's like to be double-crossed.

So ABC announced the celebrity line-up for the next season of "Dancing With the Stars" this fall. Wayne Newton: Will his face move AT ALL? Jane Seymour: Dr. Quinn doing the tango? Marie Osmond and Jenni Garth: nothing snarky - i like 'em both. Mark Cuban: He should liven things up!
But let's get real: the real draw for this viewer is the hot guys and this season there are two sizzlers: "All My Children" star Camerson Mathison (right) who has caused hearts to race for several years as Ryan Avery. Those eyes, that body, that smile. Good call ABC.
Then there is someone I've never really heard of but look forward to learning more about...and watch dance! His name is Helio Castroneves (pictured, below) and what a dish, huh? The rest of the "celebs," I don't much care about but maybe that will change once we see them each week.

I sure hope Amber doesn't show episodes of "Big Brother 8" as home movies because each week, she seems to make an even bigger jackass of herself. After she was nominated tonight for eviction, she was next seen in the diary room - in tears, of course - saying: "God, I don't want you to think I'm mad at you."
Earlier, she is seen talking to Jameka who for some reason was telling Amber that she envisions her on the cover of a magazine. Amber takes it and runs with it, getting lost in a fantasy about being a model, bragging about her body (big mistake) and personality etc. She really has NO idea how badly she comes off.
I think she will be voted off on Thursday and it will not be a moment too soon! It was also very smart of Jessica to nominate Zach who has really been able to slide by week after week after week. He acknowledged for the first time that he will have to work to stay in the house.
And in a shallow note, the luxury competition involved the houseguests taking off all their clothes and being covered with suds as they tried to figure out various word puzzles. WHY did they not play this game when Nick and Mike were still in the house? Instead, all we had was tattoed Dick, increasingly annoying Eric (the eyebrow thing he does while in the diary room makes him seem insane), leaving Zach as the hunk of the group - by default.

I haven't watched much of "Survivor" since the Colby Donaldson season but I'm glad to know that CBS has unveiled the cast for the next season of the show and it includes 22-year-old gay flight attendant Todd Herzog. Apparently he's a Mormon but I've seen "Latter Days" so if he's out, he's probably an ex-Mormon.
Todd is the only gay contestant that we know of but wasn't it just last year that J.P. Calderon came out AFTER he was on the show.
Herzog lists his hobbies as "traveling, shopping, and drinking coffee."
OK, Mormons don't drink caffeine either, just ask Donny and Marie.
Well, not to be superficial (imagine that!), but he's a lot easier on the eyes than first season champ Richard Hatch who liked to walk around naked...and should not have. He's in prison now, but not for walking around naked - for failing to pay his taxes.

The "Dick and Daniele Show," er, I mean 'Big Brother 8' is wearing thin only midway through the game. I initially thought it had the makings of a summer-long guilty pleasure with lotsa eye candy and fun. But I watched tonight and just felt bored. I mean, give me a break: there was actually an entire sequence on how stupid Amber is, asking for the definition of the most basic words and phrases. Said Evil Dick: "I'd be surprised if her vocabulary exceeded that of her 8 year old daughter."
Good one Dick...still can't stand the sight of you.
So Daniele is back in control as HOH and she is plotting away, planning to backdoor Jen. She nominated Jemeka (now my favorite player since Eric has become a little worm) and Amber. Funnily enough, Amber - who has cried buckets over so many ridiculous things - did not even shed a tear in the diary room later. By the way, Daniele's HOH room included a birthday card from Nick that was pink and full of glitter etc which Eric described as looking "like something a 13 year old girl would have concocted."
So, Nick remains an enigma.

Anywho, Eric seems to be as cocky as Dustin was last week and look what happened to him. So that little worm better watch it. Speaking of Dustin, he gave an interview to AfterElton.com that you should read. Here are a few nibbles:
On Nick: “Nick is a great guy. He's straight. His flirtation strategy worked with Joe though.”
On Dick calling him a princess last week: “Honestly, he was calling Carol a princess and Jessica a princess in Weeks One and Two for the way that they didn't do anything around the house. And he just decided to attack my sexuality in a low blow, and you know, I didn't really take it offensively. Him calling me a princess, I could have really cared less. Him attacking Jameka's religious beliefs and Amber's motherhood — those are the attacks that I took personally.”
On representing gay men on national television: "...I try to be just me. If I come across as a gay man, I hope I did the community justice. I represent me in life and in this game. It's not in my nature to hold back my opinions and feelings and I'm sure I offended the community as well. It wasn't until I was in the house did I think, 'Oh God, the gays are watching me.'”

Gabbed up a storm with Marcellas Reynolds last night at a DVD release party in West Hollywood for the hot flick "Boy Culture" (more on that later). I was dying to know what this two-time "Big Brother" contestant and busy TV personality had to say about the goings on this season.
As usual, Marcellas did not hold back!
"They voted off the two custest guysx back-to-back! Mike goes and I thought, 'Well, we still have Nick.' Then he goes the next week and I'm like, 'What the hell are you thinking?' I can't even believe it. I was so upset the night that Nick went and also because it was really poor strategy on the houseguest's part ot get rid of Nick and not Kail. But now there's nobody cute. Zach isn't that cute, Eric isn't cute at all - I'm not into piercing - and I'm over Dustin."

"The thing that's amazing this season is how racist everyone is. Amber is crazy. The other night I was watching the live feed and Dustin, the gay guy, was talking about a black dog that he named [n-word]. I was shocked because you know me, I always want to screw the gay guy every season - except for Joe who had gonorrhea."
So who does he think will win? "It's really going to be a battle of mediocrity. If Dustin dolesn't go this week - and it's smarter for them if Dustin than to choose Dick - because if you are playing the game strategically, you would want to keep Dick in the house because he's a complete a**hole. And you take that bitch to the end, and you're $500,000 richer. So I would keep Dick like it was my job. Dick and Jen, I'd be like, 'We're in an alliance, we're going to the end.' That's who you keep. I hope that they will be smart enough to get rid of Dustin. I think this will be a double eviction week. I don't know that for sure but that's what usually the way it goes the first week someone goes to sequester so they're not in sequester alone."

Did it just seem too good to be true?
Andy Baldwin, the best "Bachelor" ever, and his chosen one, Tessa Horst, have called off their engagement but have not broken up. I guess they realize that reality really isn't a reality show. (That's a weird sentence but I'm gonna leave it).
According to In Touch Magazine, Andy reportedly said: “When the fantasy wore off and the reality set in, we both realized that we weren’t ready to be engaged. We’re taking things much slower.”
Tessa has postponed her plans to move from San Francisco to Hawaii where Baldwin, a Navy doctor, is stationed.
They said in a statement: “We are very much in love and committed to our relationship. With the possibility of reassignment to a new location, we decided it was not the ideal time for Tessa to uproot herself and move out [to Hawaii] right now. Our relationship continues to deepen, and we’re very hopeful about our future together.”

I wish them both well since they came off as very appealing people on the show...but I'm thinking this isn't gonna go the distance...

I was just reading Daily Variety's TV ratings story and almost lost my lunch when I read that Dick Donato (aka Satan) and his name-calling and intimidation strategy has boosted the ratings of "Big Brother 8" to their hghest all summer. Damn! Why can;t we credit the spike to cutie pie Eric and his very entertaining role as "America's Player"?
The insults and tantrums had all three of the week's televised segments on CBS in the top 10 among veiwers 18-49.
Writes Variety: "It will be interesting to see if the ratings stay strong if Donato, up for eviction this week, is kicked to the curb on Thursday's live results show."
He has just been too vile, especially on last night's show where he mocked religion, sexuality and motherhood, among other things. He should be kicked to the curb and left there.

Are CBS executives glad they chose this sick, twisted "person" named Nick to be on "Big Brother *" for entertainment value? He has been nominated for eviction along with his manipulative daughter, Daniele, and on tonight's broadcast, did his devil best to get under the skin of all other houseguests at one point saying, "I have to get them to despise me."
That task had already been accomplished but for good measure, he went on a rampage calling Amber "a disaster on two legs" (well, that IS true) but he did not have to add: "You are one ugly b*tch. I promise on the life of your daughter I am going to make your life miserable."
CBS did not see fit to air Amber's anti-Semetic remarks made previously and caught on the live-feed, but the network had no hesitation in airing Dick's homophobic taunts toward gay contestant Dustin, whom he repeatedly called "Princess."
Even if it's strategy, it's so vile and only a vile person could say the words with such conviction. And coming from a 44-year-old man wearing nail polish and earings, it was pretty ridiculous.
Of the Christian Jameka he said: "You can't even save yourself!" and after Dick won the POV competition, he mockingly said: "Thank you Jesus!" I think Jameka spoke for anyone stupid enough (me included) to still be watching this annoying show when she said: "He is Satan in this house."

It's not even my birthday and yet this happened on tonight's episode of "Big Brother 8"...
Jessica nominated Dick and Daniele for eviction. Dick is going down swinging, picking fights with Jameka and Amber. Meanwhile, Daniele is left to scrounge around for allies.
Good luck with that.
I don't know what Dick hoped to accomplish being such an a**hole. He not only lose the game but along with Amber, is the most loathsome person on this or any season of this show.
My interest in the show is waning...but I do want to see that nutjob voted off followed by Amber the next week. I find them boith so offensive. Jen doesn't even bother me in the least now...

My mind was so much on politics yesterday that I'm just now catching up on what happened last night on "Big Brother 8." And it is great news! Eric survived in a 4-3 vote that sent Kail home and, I think, ends the reign of terror that was Daniele and Dick.
Jessica won HOH and my bet is she puts this twisted father-daughter duo on the block then thjey can go another few years without speaking. Can you imagine having to spend your holidays with that manipulative bully?
Nowe here's my hope: A showmance between Eric and Dustin! That would be cool. Is this just a pipe dream or does anyone know of any real flirtations between these two?

I don't spend many of my summer nights watching game shows but last night, flipped on CBS in preparation of "Big Brother" and the new game show "Power of 10" was still on. There was the most adorable contestant named Jamie Sandler on in a wrinkled blue shirt. He's just 19 but he was so poised, had a great way about him, and the best smile. And best thing: he won $1 million!!!
He's gonna use the money (well, part of it anyway) to go to pay for med school. He also plans to buy a car.
p.s. The show had some strange questions, don't you think?

The site BuddyTV has a terrific interview with Nick Starcevic about his stay in the Big Brother house. I wonder if Nick has heard of YouTube and the 24-hour live feed. That makes it kinda hard to rewrite history Mr. Muscles.
But, he seems to be trying to. Here are some excerpts:
On Daniele: "I legitimately have feelings for Danielle. I went in the house with one way of playing the game and I met Danielle and found out that I didn't have it in me to hurt someone's feelings like that. You know, I'm a very emotional person, and I fell for Danielle, and everything I said to her is real, and that's why I kind of cozied up beside her and sidled up, and we tried to start our own little alliance there."

On the speculation abvout his sexuality: "Yeah, I've gotten asked that question a couple times today about homosexuality. I am definitely one hundred percent straight, I don't know if something was taken out of context or anything like that. It was something with like Joe and I in the hot tub, somebody said. Definitely one hundred percent straight, had nothing to do with men ever. But I am a very comfortable guy with my sexuality, and I do find men attractive, and I can say that because I'm comfortable with my sexuality."

On the story he told Joe in the hot tub about performing oral sex: "Uh... yeah that's what was told to me before, I never said anything about performing a sexual act before. I said that I kissed one of my buddies on the lips in a bar because of a bet, I don't know if that's what you're talking about."

So, before he keeps lying, maybe Nick should watch this clip:

OK, that's it. Dick has GOT to go. He has surpassed Amber, Jen and everyone else as not only the most annoying houseguest on "Big Brother 8" this season, but for ANY season. I mean, Jen is a moron but should Dick be allowed to dump iced tea on her head without repercussions? His verbal abuse to her and other houseguests is so unpleasant and has rendered most of them into his little soldiers. They need to turn the tables and get rid of this dude! I like what Eric did on last night's show: he got into a verbal showdown with Dick and kept his wits about him and turned things back at him. It was clever. You don't often see someone outmatching this loudmouth.
But, with daddy's little girl Danielle HOH, Dick appears to be safe while Jen and Kail are on the block for the third week in a row.

It appears Daniele wants to backdoor Eric but there might not be the support in the house for that plan.I watched last night's show and just feel like it's sinking to new depths. Having the houseguests hanging upside down while birds crap (I think it was fake crap but still) on them is disgusting.
I will say this though: even though she is Dick's daughter, Daniele is a much better player than he is: gritty and able to win competitions. I say she goes much further in the game than daddy dearest.

Here is Nick, voted out of the Big Brother house by a score of 6-2. I missed the episode in favor of a party on the rooftop of The Standard Hotel in Dowtown LA. Gabbed with lotsa celebs and will share some w/you tomorrow...So, what do we think of Nick's departure? Why do these gorgeous dudes who don't seem very bright keep getting shown the door when someone like Dick is a bigger threat? Amber is a weeping fool, Jen is a space cadet and Kail is so calculating. Maybe it was the Mohawk?

Or maybe Nick (pictured above with his showmance Daniele) chose the wrong side of the bisexual fence or whatever he was sitting on in the early weeks. He clearly should have been snuggling up to Dustin more than Daniele if he wanted a strong ally. Her attempts to save him were sincere, but feeble. Nick feels betrayed so I guess we won't be seeing that showmance becoming a romance.

Here is Nick pictured (above) with some of the friends he thought he had...

Between live feeds, blogs and readers emailing me, it's not too tough to keep up with what is going on in the "Big Brother" house. Nick, the last remaining musclehead (Mike was voted off last week ):) is being back doored! He shoulda kept flirting with everyone and not focused so much on Daniele. She can't save him now.
Meanwhile, annoying Jen has been taken off the chopping block and Nick put on. He knows he's a goner so he shaved his head into this not-very-attractive mohawk. I figure Kail, a much bigger threat, is safe for another week since she didn't go and shave her head...
Fortunately, Nick's hot body remains intact....

Just weeks ago, "Big Brother 8" was a fun diversion with all kinds of gay drama and eye candy to spare. How did it all go so wrong, so fast? We had ex-lovers Dustin and Joe to deal with, hunky Nick flirting with them both and throwing out all kinds of hints that he swing both ways. Then there was hunky Mike who was just nice to look at, especially when he lifted weights with Nick.
Ah, the good old days.
On Sunday, I tuned in to see Dustin as head of household and fully enjoying his power - even dressed as a king for the food competition. I like that Dustin, as a gay man, is in charge and trying to be strategic. What I don't like are his v-neck t-shirts. He's gotta lose those.

Dustin has targeted Kail who I was SURE would go home last week instead of poor, cute Mike [pictured above, leaving the house on Thursday] who, I'm sure, would not hurt a fly or ever tell a lie. He was just a there to be eye candy, not cause trouble! Kail, she's trouble. I actually felt a little sorry for Jen who was also nominated and who cried about it (at least she wasn't crying over her horrible picture again.).
So all that is well and good but what's really apparent is that this is not an interesting group of people. Nick has reverted to total hetero (gee, what a surprise) and grown a little mustache that does not please me. I don't like him anymore. I'll still post shirtless pics of him, sure, but I don't like him.

Then there is the crybaby that is Amber: she sobs when Dustin wins HOH then gets into a really idiotic discussion with Evil Dick over her love for her dog vs. her love for her child. The tearful one actually said they are equal (If I was the kid, I'd be the one crying now). "I love my dog as much as I love my daughter," Amber told an incredulous Dick. "Love is love...I love them both...they're like both my kids."
I love Dick's response: "Are you a mental case? What is wrong with you?"
Dick's got plenty wrong with him tough. He is trying to mend fences with daughter Daniele and you can see she has clearly been wounded by him in her life. So here he is, trying to get close again...cameras on the whole time. Kinda gross. Then later, he is asking Jen point-blank if she has had a boob job. She dodges the query but it's clear she's had one.
Dick could also benefit from some plastic surgery: on his FACE!
Anyway, unless she wins power of veto, looks like Kail is a goner on Thursday...But who knows? This crowd is so dense they'll probably send home one of the few rays of light in the house: the funny, cute and mischevious Eric who has really grown on me.

I don't mean to become unglued over a reality show, but, pardon me: "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!" Studly Mike was voted off tonight by a scoire of 7-2 with Kail living to stay another week. How this happened, I just don't know sin ce I've been working all day. But I am shocked. Kail would seem to be more of a threat while Mike just seemed kinda passive...and studly. I'm completely off Nick now and quickly losing interest in this entire show. Dustin won head of household so let's see what he does. It must be nice to have his ex, Joe, out of his hair.
Poor Mike. It's just not right....

Nick, Nick, Nick. You really were too good to be true. Watch this Youtube tape of our muscular, tattooed tease and you will pretty much see him for what his is: a jackass. He has a heated conversation with Dick and at one points spits this out: "I had a plan and a game. I was gonna f****n play stupid f***ers like that so I could look out for certain people - now I'm just gonna be the f***en bad dude that I am - that's how I am in the real world."
Take a look:

God, I hope not! Nick was my first crush in the Big Brother House but now I've moved on to Mike (What Can I say? I'm fickle..) so I was not pleased to see that he had been put up on the block by Dick after idiot Jen won the power of veto and saved herself from possible eviction. So that leaves Kail as the most-likely-to be voted off on Thursday. I don't think she has enough allies in the house to save herself and it doesn't seem Mike has a lot of enemies at this point. So, I'm hoping for the best.

Also, I've had several readers asking for more pictures of Nick. I'm so over him! But, he's still good eye candy so here ya go:

My television viewing time has been nil since Outfest began (closing night is today!) so I'm way behind on "Big Brother" posts. But I have leaned that Dick, the single most unnattractive man in reality show history, has as head of househoid put Kail (pictured above with hunky Mike) and Jen (looking like a dim bulb, below) up on the block. Great move! At first, you think Jen should be voted out because she is so beyond annoying. But then I think Kail's gotta go because the queen bee of the first three weeks has fallen off her throne. She double-crossed Dick and her alliance of young hunky dudes - Nick, Mike and Zach - has pretty much fallen apart. Sorry Mrs. Robinson.

I wish I had more time to watch the show because I would so enjoy it more now that Joe is voted off. I do not miss him. As for the gorgeous and flirty Nick, I think he's gonna have a big target on his broad, muscular back.


Kail and two of her rebellious boys...


And I save the least attractive for last...

Joe didn't even bother to hug Dustin on his way out of the Big Brother house...here is his eviction interview with Julie Chen:

Missed "Big Brother 8" last night but got these cool images from GuyTV.com which give you a nice snap shot of what transpired. Drama queen Joe was voted out (yeah!) while Dick goes from being on the block to Head of Household. We KNOW he will put up Jen because he HATES her...and frankly, so do we.

I've been trying to catch up on "Big Brother 8" via YouTube because I refuse to watch the 24/7 feed. Here are a few clips I found interesting, the first has Joe, who is on the block tonight, talking votes with Eric...

The second clip is a hot tub scene with Joe, Jen (in a ridiculous swimsuit) and the hunks: Nick and Mike. Nick's hair is wet and slicked back and he looks so much more attractive that way...really handsome. But, I'm all about Mike (pictured above with Kail) now.

So is tonight bye-bye Joe??? I hope so.

Or is Dick the chosen one??? I wouldn't shed a tear. He is single-handedly the most unnattractive man to ever occupy the Big Brother house...

Tune in tonight!!!

I sure hope so. A little of him goes a long way and I'd like to see his ex, Dustin, be able to stay in the house awhile without the toxic force that is Joe. I missed last night's show due to Outfest commitments but Danielle got herself off the block so now Joe will be up against her dad, Dick.
Anywho, did find this amusing clip of Joe doing his impersonations of verious houseguests and am posting it because a shirtless Nick is in it too...Did I mention yet that I do not like Nick's tatoo?

...and if you REALLY care, here is a clip of Joe and Dustin in the hammock having a heart-to-heart. Dustin looks really cute in it. I still don't know what he ever saw in Joe...

What is going on over at NBC? They hire Isaiah Washington to guest on their "Bionic Woman" remake just weeks after he gave a series of finger-pointing at every but himself interviews to Larry King and others. Then I hear they are bringing back the bore that is Donald Trump in some kind of celebrity version of his dying "Apprentice" franchise. I'd begin a personal boycott of NBC right now except that I never watch it anymore anyway - except for the odd "Law & Order" episode here and there.
So fame whore Trump, who showed even less class than Washington in his running feud with O'Donnell, wants Rosie for his new celebrity-infested "Apprentice."
"If Rosie would like to do it, she would be treated very fairly," Trump tells PEOPLE. "Don't forget her show got the highest ratings in December and January when she and I went at it. So I think it would be very good for Rosie. And she would be treated very fairly."
The nerve!
Rosie said through her rep: "It will not happen in this lifetime or beyond."
Duh.

So I watched the CBS hour of "Big Brother 8" last night and after seeing YouTube videos etc. of what went on in the house, the network show is kind of a snooze. And to have to endure the hideously annoying Jen is more than I can take. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes! And then there's the squeaky Jessica weirdo who is carrying on a silly grudge against her high school rival who is on the block. If these two don't get voted off in the next few weeks, I'm gonna have to start drinking while watching the show...
But making it all better is the strapping, gorgeous Nick who has a strategy I have never seen before on the show: he is flirting with absolutely everyone, females and gay males, and it is working...so far.

Muscle-head Nick is certainly into same-sex confessions. In the latest clips from the show's 24-hour live feed, Nick tells two of his straight male housemates about a top five list of guys he would get physical with. They make fuin of him a bit and he backtracks slightly: "I wouldn't do anything with any guy unless they were on my five list at that moment." Hmmmmmmmmmm. So it looks like this list is ever-changing. I wonder if Dustin or Joe will make the list soon...

Then later, Nick discusses his top five list with one of his female housemates and lists Matthew McConaughey at the top of his list ("He's a great looking guy, great individual, got a killer bod, he's really personable." Following Matthew is Ryan Reynolds, another Out In Hollywood fave. And third is Brad Pitt. Says Nick: "Have you seen 'Snatch' or 'Fight Club'? Wow."
Great taste ya got Nick...

Well, well. It looks like muscle-head Nick is an equal-opportunity tease! Following his hot tub confession to Joe, he then allows Joe's ex, Dustin, to rub sunblock all over him for what seems like forEVER.

I get the feeling there is gonna be a steady stream o YouTube clips coming out of the Big Brother house in the weeks to come and I feel it is my blogging duty to post them!
