Well, here’s advice from the master.
When asked if you’re looking for “fast love outside, what would George Michael tell you?”
“Well, if you’re American I’d say don’t bother. You’re too likely to get arrested.”
(HX)
Ashlee Simpson talks to HX (prior to her engagement announcement and before reports of her pregnancy).
Here are some of the more awkward moments from the interview (with my comments in parenthesis) after the jump:
BOULTON IS BI-SEXUAL AND WHO GIVES A SHIT?
Genre’s Editor-in-Chief Neal Boulton loves stirring shit up!
From kissing Jann Wenner in public to going back to his wife to proclaiming that he’s NOT sleeping with his female nanny in Page Six.
“I do think I have annoyed gay folks, even though I have been riskily honest about all of my proclivities, including women,” Boulton, now editor of Genre, told Page Six.
“And I was recently hired as a consultant to re-launch HX…I made major changes there and believe I may have p-ed off some HX people because their spies saw me out with her.”
Is it unusual that an openly bi-sexual man is editing two gay publications?
Boulton thinks not.
“Folks tend to forget there is a ‘B’ in LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender], he tells Page Six, - a ‘B’ that I blatantly acknowledged in my first editor’s letter [in Genre]. In general I don’t care who I p- off.”
I love Boulton’s FUCK YOU attitude and he’s right. I’ve been impressed with his work with Genre - especially the covers. He knows the gay male audience and delivers covers that gay men want to read. Plus, inside the magazine isn’t bad either.
So, if he’s bisexual who cares?
I know a few men who edit magazine’s targeted to women and they’re doing pretty well! Larry Hackett from People Magazine runs the number one magazine in the country targeted to women.
Bottom line: It’s about knowing the reader, delivering a product that appeals to the reader and ULTIMATELY SELLS ON THE NEWSSTAND. It’s not about whether you a man, woman, blah, blah, blah….
And knocks Madonna at the same time! What the hell is she thinking?
I’ve always been a pretty big Janet fan — until NOW. According to HX, there’s this shit about her wanting to kick Madonna’s ass. That just ain’t cool.
In this new HX article Janet laughs off those rumors (cuz they better not be true!)
But when asked the following question,
“If a “Janet” drag queen had to battle a “Madonna” drag queen, what advice would you give the “Janet” queen?
Kick the bitch’s ass!
OK - I’d pay to see that fight. But let me tell you something Janet. I’ve met drag queen Madonna and I’ve met drag queen Janet…and drag queen Janet is No &%@$ compared to drag queen Madonna.
So Janet, keep your peace and do your own thing. It’s good - but you’ll NEVER be Madonna!
P.S. Watch Dirt Starring Courteney Cox this Sunday at 10:00 pm on FX!
I picked up the latest issue of HX and couldn’t be happier for this week’s cover boy Dr. Frank Spinelli - who I’ve know for years. He is releasing a new book this week titled The Advocate: Guide to Gay Men’s Health and Wellness. Frank tells CoverAwards.com that the new book will be a real guide to gay men’s health and we applaud his efforts in continuously focusing on increasing awareness of gay men’s health issues.
Update: Dr. Frank Spinelli is debuting his new book tonight at HK Lounge, which is at 37th and 9th! Show up at 10 and kiss him in person!
