Writing her weekly column usually requires an exorcism of sorts for
Dish, as she struggles to release the demons from her gossip-drenched
soul.
But this week it's manna from heaven, and Dish just doesn't know where
to start. Her usual hierarchical approach of starting with the richest
tidbit won't pass muster today.
Beginning with local news, then, the strangest thing happened on March
7. SIA, a singer and freshly out "lezzie" as she says, had a show at
Washington's 9:30 club. Meanwhile at the Black Cat, Sia's rumored
girlfriend JD SAMSON of Le Tigre was spinning tunes with another Le
Tigre member. Isn't that a charming little coincidence? Of course,
pets, you read what JD said to the Blade last week about the singers'
supposed, didn’t you? It went something like this:
"Samson's only comment to the Blade on Sia was 'I have nothing to do with that tour.'"
And maybe that's why nobody noticed that after her show Sia skipped the
eight blocks to the Black Cat, where she eventually perched herself on
the edge of the stage between an amp and a speaker. What's the big
deal, right? Can't one artist support another? And can't that artist
then slip her tongue into the other artist's mouth without everyone
assuming they're "together?" I mean, isn't this America?
You read between the lines correctly. Sia and Samson enjoyed what an
eyewitness called a "very happy-looking reunion" around 1:30 a.m. when
they made out for several moments on the corner of the stage.
Dish supposes she's not getting an invite to their commitment ceremony. Sigh.
If you haven't already purchased a ticket to Denver for this month,
you'll need to do it quickly. MIKE JONES, the gay sex worker who outed
conservative Christian preacher TED HAGGARD as a client in 2006, is
going to be starring in a one-man play, "Naked B4 God: Exposing the
Hypocrisy of Ted Haggard."
Well, the jokes just make themselves, don't they? And we've only just
gotten to the title. The play runs through March 22 and Jones has some
excellent reasons why people might want to see it.
"It gives me a chance [to tell the story to] people who don’t want to
spend a lot of time reading the book," Jones told the Rocky Mountain
News.
Dish loves how Jones is turning theater into tabloid trash for the illiterate.
"It's much bigger than just the headline people saw in the papers," he said.
Surely his escort ads said something to that effect. (Dish feels
particularly cruel today, but then again, Jones brings it on himself.)
"I don’t hate Ted Haggard, but what he did was so wrong, and he put me
in a very difficult position. When I'm outing Ted Haggard, I'm outing
myself," Jones said.
Clearly, Jones' life is a living hell.
If you haven't finished throwing up your breakfast yet, just wait. TOM FORD has announced plans to procreate. Oh, the horror.
"I'm going to have a kid in 2008," the designer told Fantastic Men, a men's style periodical.
Ford said the child would be biologically his because longtime partner
Richard Buckley is older than he is, whatever the hell sense that
makes. Fantastic Men also managed to unearth this little gem from the
depths of Ford's bizarre psyche.
"At 14 or 15 all of a sudden I became very popular because — and I'm
not saying this in an egotistical way — I became good looking," he
said. ""I wasn't even aware of it, but other people were all of the
sudden aware that I was handsome. I was having sex with girls when I
was 14 and that was because they were pouncing on me."
Can Dish just say she has whole new respect for Fashion Week Daily for calling Ford "fashion's favorite Narcissus"?
