DISH

Playboy plays with boys
Hef goes homo, Marc shows bad judgment and Kobe gets a mouthful from Shaq


Friday, June 27, 2008

This just in: Hugh Hefner likes sex. Shocking, no? But what you might not know is that the octogenarian smut-monger (of whom Dish is completely enamored) has actually batted both sides of the bunny.

The New York Post’s Page Six reports that Steven Watts’ upcoming book, “Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream,” contains some details from Hef’s life that would most certainly not appeal to Playboy’s general readership.

“Hef’s thirst for sexual experience became so strong that he even had a one-time homosexual experience,” Watts writes. “One evening in downtown Chicago he was propositioned and according to [a friend] thought ‘what the hell.’ Found it an interesting experience. As far as I know, the guy just gave him [oral sex.’]

So there you have it. The man who brought sex to the suburbs actually has done it all … or had it all done to him. And probably thought about the Barbie twins while it happened. And totally didn’t enjoy it, you know, because some things are just physical reflexes and don’t actually mean anything. Plus, he was probably drunk.

At least, that’s how most straight guys react in that kind of situation. Hefner, always the class act, only had the following to say to Page Six:

“This is the most authoritative book ever written about me … It’s all essentially true.”


Confederate Pride

Dish has to run out to CVS to buy an extra toothbrush and some hand towels, because it looks like MARC JACOBS is moving into her column. The newly svelte fashion designer has graced Dish’s purple pages so many times that his name might as well be on the lease.

This week he appears courtesy of some cavalier racism.

The Shophound, a New York blog, reports that Jacobs’ West Village store has recently begin selling T-shirts with a rainbow Confederate flag printed on them. The $18 shirt, called “Rebel Pride,” appears to be half cotton, one-quarter polyester and one-quarter Harriet Tubman’s tears.

Dish is thinking about sending Jacobs ideas for a new clothing line called “Rise Again” that can feature pink swastika hoodies — that would be another hot item, for sure.


Below the rim

While the worlds of hip-hop and professional sports are generally unfriendly to the homos, cultural ambassador SHAQUILLE O’NEAL is uniting the two communities and teaching them tolerance. He’s seemingly done this by getting his salad tossed by KOBE BRYANT.

In a video posted to celebrity gossip site TMZ.com, O’Neal performs a freestyle rap at a New York City nightclub, the chorus of which is “OK, Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.” Clearly a sensitive lyricist, on par with Leonard Cohen or Jens Lekman, the rapper/baller went on to say “ I love ‘em, I don’t leave ‘em, I got a vasectomy so now I can’t breed ‘em.”


Planet Janet

JANET JACKSON continues to do her family proud through a combination of talent, chutzpah and not being a freakish shut-in. Variety reports that Ms. Jackson will be executive producing her own reality show competition on MTV. On the show, Janet will handpick dancers from locations like YMCAs, community centers and local churches, and then have the dancers compete in various street locales.

“It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE or USHER,” says the show’s producer Dave Broome.

Dish admires Broome’s bravery in mentioning Janet and Justin in the same sentence, but questions his sanity for thinking there could ever be another Janet

Hugh Hefner does not like anyone. He likes to get off no matter what the vehicle. Does anyone seriously look at him with desire or anything close to that? Except for his "mansion" what does this old geaser have to offer anyone? Male/female/whatever
