Lovers of the Rich and Famous: Scott Thorson

“I’m so sick and tired of Liberace’s people getting on national TV and bashing me, saying that I was nothing but a cocaine addict, just smearing my name.” — Scott Thorson
Scott Thorson is the author of Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace, which is the source material for the HBO movie starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon (as Thorson).

I’m Not Afraid To Eat An Ice Cream Cone Anymore: The Life of Riley

All right, bitches, I won’t sugarcoat it:
Rome is burning.
Lately, I’m looking at everything — everything — around me and finding it all fucked-up. Mass hysteria has set in. I wouldn’t trust this clown car cast of Republican Presidential hopefuls to give me a passable handjob, much more pull this nation out of decline. All I could do this past Saturday as I beheld international recording sensation Lana Del Rey performing a song on SNL about a chick apparently getting cock-blocked by frickin’ video games while looking like a doped-up cocker spaniel and sounding like an IBM computer that got roofied was think how much dick she had to take to get that record deal.

Who’s That Gigolo On The Street?: It’s Showtime For The Man ‘Hos

It was a joke my father told me he once heard a hooker shout out from her corner:
“The fucking’s free — it’s the room that’ll set ya back fifty dollars!”
Let’s just say that line proved all to apt while watching Showtime’s Gigolos — an experience that at once managed to be trashily explicit and lamely skittish about the prospect of men on-the-take letting cameras in on the action.

Kill It Before It Dies: “I Don’t Do — I Just Is!”

The top three things that people who don’t do them for a living think are oh-so-simple: teaching, writing, and comedy.

A Plastic World: Beneath The Valley of The Barbie Boys

Yes, an actual series has a group of highly-functioning, super enthusiastic, oh-so-well-rounded young men — including a poet, two musicians, a jock, a gymnast, a martial artist, two former cheerleaders, and a Jersey Rapper — vying for the title of best human approximation of a Mattel icon.

“Genuine Ken” is an oxymoron for the ages. I read once that if Barbie with her physical proportions actually existed in reality, she’d be unable to stand upright and would have to move about on all fours.

Pay The Piper: Hustler With A Heart of Gold?

…or at least ormolu-varnish?:

“Corbin Fisher is making a public offer to former model Jake Lyons to end months of negotiations and legal wrangling regarding a copyright and trademark infringement case.
The company said it was recently awarded $54,000 by a Florida federal court in the matter but said it would drop all legal action if Lyons donates one tenth of the judgment amount ($5,400) to Equality Florida (EQFL), a St.

Friends With Benefits: Even Porn Stars Gotta Pound The Pavement

Only two highly symbolic locales ever seem to be perpetually invoked to embody the disparities of our fiscal meltdown: Main Street and Wall Street.
Are Andy and Opie Taylor having to ally with those hillbilly moonshiners in order to continue to afford their fishing lures, and is Patrick Bateman’s Amex Gold Card being refused when he tries to order a coterie of high-end escorts after killing his accountant with a power drill?

Psychic Celebrity Profile: Pierce Brosnan

It’s been two weeks since we checked in with Celebrity Psychic, Miranda Celeste-Walters, about the inner worlds of Hollywood’s hottest studs. We needed our fix, so we called her direct line to ask for a personal peek into the daily dalliances of heartthrob, Pierce Brosnan. Here’s the revealing interview that transpired:
Nightcharm: So what can you tell us about Pierce?
Miranda Celeste-Walters: I can tell you that he’s eating a lot of crackers these days, and I don’t know why.
