Gay D to the Rama!
Last night was my birthday, AND the LOGO - Time Warner Launch. If you guys didn't know, Logo is the gay network launched two years ago by MTV Networks. That said, they've finally struck a deal with Time Warner who will now distribute their channel (#146) on millions of new homes. What this means is that America just got a lot gayer. And I'm all for it.
Past that, they had this brilliantly fabulous soiree with gay celebrities, hot well-manicured men all around and tons of former gay real world castmembers, including myself. So, I'm there with my roomie, and my writing partner. We're standing there and Lance Bass walks by. Of course we all get excited. My friends were excited because it was, well Lance Bass. I was excited because I knew Davis, from the Real World: Denver was supposed to be there. Cue Reichen drama. I love gay Hollywood.
Here's the deal. In Atlanta, Davis claimed to have a threesome with Reichen about two months ago. I remember it well because Davis was texting me about it that night.
Wat up
Hey
Guess who I’m with? Reichen. He’s HOTTT
Cool, where u at?
Atlanta
Should I hook up with him?
I guess. Sure?
Blah
Blah blah
Blah Blah Blah
I told him, yeah, go for it I guess. But remember, two bottoms do NOT equal a top! (cue audience laughter)
So, apparently someone (more than one source says Davis) leaked the info to perezhilton.com. Then it was all over the (gay)news. Headlines read:
"DID REAL WORLD DAVIS SPLIT UP REICHEN AND LANCE?"
No! They had broken up long before. Its just that someone is trying to plant a story. I mean, it happens all the time Re: Jessica Simpson & John Mayer.
So, when Lance walked away, my friends and I started laughing at the situation at hand. Thinking we were in our very own gay version of "Friends" we cheersed and went on our merry way. Not but five minutes pass and I see our friend Davis standing on the stairs. Immediately I shout, "DAVIS, WATCH OUT. BOY BAND SIGHTING AT 8 O'CLOCK!"
I laughed thinking I was clever, and patted him on the shoulder, "good to see you bud." And walked away. As I waved he sat there shaking his head.
I walked back to my friends and we danced, gossiped about what to expect next week on UGLY BETTY and drank some more. Not knowing I had offended anyone, a cute, latino looking man walked up to me.
"um, Tyler, Davis just wanted you to know that what you said was REALLY tasteless."
I just starred back blankly. Was this guy serious? What was going on? What did I say? Then I realized the N*sync joke probably didn't play well with him. My friends looked at me with equally blank stares. Not that they didn't have something to say, they were simply drunk, just like me and didn't give a shit.
"Well, tell him sorry?" I responded trying to feign interest at this point.
The cute latino man walked away, seemingly satisfied with his efforts. As I went to approach the group to bitch I thought to myself. “Davis has quite the nerve. He’s the one that slept (well, whatever you call it when two bottoms attempt sex) with Lance’s ex-boyfriend and wants press about it. Now THAT is tasteless…wait…why is my drink empty. Why do I care…WAITOR!”
And with that, I was like Katharine McPhee. Over it.
When will there be a gay real world? I’d totally be the accidental asshole all over again. I kind of love it. Lesson to be learned kids? Do not make bottom jokes to a bottom. That’s all I’m saying.
