So this isn’t much of a shocker but reports are circulating that JC Chasez is gay and was caught with an escort at a European charity event.
Check out this blind item and see who you think it is…

Which still-closeted former boy-bander was making sure nobody got pictures of him with his handsome Spanish escort at a recent European charity event?

Rumors have been circulating about JC for some time. Since he was attempting to launch a career as a hot solo singer (ala Justin Timberlake) he kept himself tightly in the closet. Lance Bass came out after entering into a high profile relationship and essentially being “outed” by Perez Hilton. Perez is at it again with JC. Unlike this time, however, nobody has photos of him cavorting with hot gay men.

I believe this though. He evidently was “dating” Eva Longoria and then all of a sudden she was in a high profile relationship with Tony Parker. He didn’t really seem to care…there was no angry “Tony Stole My Girlfriend” piece in US Weekly. He really needed a hot lady to quiet all the gay talk.

As a musical theatre performer I have come to terms with the fact that if they are hot, can dance and sing and the same time they are often gay. It is a stereotype…I will give you that but usually the goofier members of the boy bands (aka Joey “Fat One”) are the ones getting all the ladies because they are the ones that actually like the ladies.

Jury is out on Justin Timberlake.

Have you ever wanted to go inside Shiloh’s world? Well now you can. Because US Weekly has that story covered. That’s a cute kid, and I’m pretty sure her eyes would be called “piercing” although that could be CGI.

Now, I don’t know what the story will be about, but I can only assume it will be something like what milk tastes like and how silly adults can be.

The less cute, and more alarming news, is that Brittany Murphy seems to be married to a con man. I hope someone alerts her.

Because Leonardo DiCaprio looks sexy as hell smoking on the set of his new movie, Revolutionary Road, co-starring Kate Winslet. The film is set in the 1950s, and Winslet plays his wife. That little bitch gets to make out with him take after take after take … twice in a lifetime! Not fair!!

Also, is it just me, or can you make out the outline of Leo’s package in this pic? And I’m not talking about the briefcase …

Jennifer Lopez attended the 20th Annual Children’s Fund Gala in NYC on Wednesday night, and there’s not a single genuine smile in the whole batch of pictures. It’s almost like someone had to tape the corners of her mouth up to get her to smile — the eyes are just dead. But there’s still no denying she’s gorgeous. Marc Anthony was there, too. Is it just me or does he always, always, always look like Tom Hanks in the last thirty minutes of Philadelphia?

Despite her ongoing feud with label head Clive Davis (which is far too tedious and retarded — on his part — for me to cover on this blog), the former Idol has moved forward with her new album, My December, most of which she wrote herself. You’ve probably heard the first single, “Never Again,” on the radio by now, but there are three new tracks that you can preview up at AOL Music:”Sober,” “Maybe,” and “Can I Have a Kiss.” They’re a slight deviation from the pre-packaged, teen-friendly pop tracks she’s put out on her previous albums — they’re more raw, and seem to be intensely personal — but I really like them, and I hope her album does well. The poll up at AOL Music has 75% of listeners voting “It’s awesome, love it” for the album, so hopefully it will.

Despite selling more albums than Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee was excluded from the celeb-studded Idol finale. While other folks from her season — Elliot Yamin, Taylor Hicks, Chris Daughtry and BFF Kellie Pickler — were asked to perform on the finale, Katharine was not.

“Katharine called them herself, trying to get on the [finale],” says a source. “She’s really hurt.”

I can’t imagine why Kat was excluded. Her album’s debuted at #2 on the charts. She’s signed with 19 Entertainment. She was on People’s 50 Most Beautiful list. Why on earth wouldn’t they want her. Thoughts?
