So Austin Armacost is back on our screens, but what exactly do we know about the hunky Austin Armacost.
Is Austin Armacost gay?
Yes, he certainly is and he’s definitely not ashamed of it. He recently broke up with his husband (Jake Lees) a relationship which lasted for 9 years and now he’s apparently back on the market. He’s even signed up to a couple of dating apps. Viewers of season 16 of Celebrity Big Brother were smittened by the bromance between him and the show’s eventual winner James Hill – although James is straight.
What happened to Austin’s brother?
Viewers may remember him getting very emotional about his older brother. His older brother, Tyler was killed in a car crash. During his last time in the house, Austin found it tough going when one of the days fell on what would have been his brother’s 30th birthday. He died when he was 27. Speaking about his brother Austin said,
“He was such a good guy. You hope that life would be good, and calm, and peaceful, and when it’s time to go it’s time to go, but it just wasn’t his time to go.”‘
What happened to Austin’s mother?
Viewers were shocked to find out that not only did Austin have to bury his brother but he “had to send” his mother to prison. Karen Armacost was jailed for stealing $681,000 from her former employer. During her trial, the court heard how she spent the money paying off credit cards. She was sentenced to 6 years in prison and three years probation.
Does Austin get naked?
Yes, a lot. He’s an exhibitionist and why not. He’s on social media quite a bit showing off his muscles and he releases a calendar every year as well.
Did Austin Armacost date Marc Jacobs?
Before he met his husband Austin was the boyfriend of fashion designer Marc Jacobs. In a previous interview, Austin remarked that he wanted to be remembered for more than just being the boyfriend of a famous designer. He said,
“I don’t want to be known as Marc Jacobs’ ex-boyfriend. I want to be known as someone who stands on their own independently from that. Obviously it comes up because he is one of the world’s most famous fashion designers. I was 21 years old, and I drank too much I said some stupid things but it gave me this public profile that I was able to do some really good things with and I am very proud of what I have done since then.
How much is Austin Armacost worth?
CelebrityNetWorth.com has Austin’s net worth reported as $3 million. He will have made his money from appearing in reality series, his calendars and personal appearances.
The 22-year-old bared all for his new Netflix show Chasing Cameron. Basically, it’s a show all fly-on-the-wall documentary about the life and times of Cameron Dallas.
Chasing Cameron centres on social media star and entrepreneur Cameron Dallas as he looks to take his career to the next level.
So just in case you’re unaware who he is, he describes himself as half Scottish, a quarter Mexican and a quarter German. Oh, he also became a Calvin Klein underwear model in 2016.
Speaking about it in the diary room she confessed,
“Ray J threw me under the bus. When people in America tried to make me out to be something I wasn’t, he never stood up for me. I want to know why he never said anything”.
WHITNEY: Stacy is said to have had an argument with the megastar Whitney Houston days before her death in a night club.
Revealing details about an argument that the X Factor USA star had with Whitney Houston, two days before Whitney died, she said that despite knowing Ray J for 15 years he didn’t stick up for her. Whitney died in 2012.
“When Whitney Houston’s sister Pat went on the Oprah show and said I was stalking Whitney Houston in the club, I was not, we were all standing there talking and having a good time, he knows that, he knows the events of the whole night.
“He never said this is a friend of my family. I’ve known Ray and his family over 15 years; he never came to bat for me. I wish he had the heart to say she wasn’t stalking Whitney in the club, she’s a friend. It was a hard time, I lost everything.”
Last night saw the songstress being “edited out” of the programme by the ‘all stars’ who became Big Brother’s producers for the night.
Speaking about resolving the bad blood between the two, Stacy said,
“I just felt it was really unfair. It was shocking when I saw Ray, I kinda shut down. I want a real talk with him; I need a heart to heart with him”.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight on Channel 5 at 9PM.
A comedy series on BBC 2 is being slammed by some very unhappy people.
BBC
A sketch on the BBC 2 comedy show, Revolting is getting people on social media very very angry. Why? Well, the sketch is called The Real Housewives of ISIS – so you can probably work it out from there.
The clip, which is doing the rounds on Twitter pokes fun at the ‘ISIS housewives’ who are seen wearing and comparing suicide vests, complaining about having to compete with 40 virgins and using social media hashtags like #DeathToTheWest.
The series has seen a massive backlash on social with many slamming the makers of making light of ISIS

We were shocked, clutching our pearls the moment US star Ray J mentioned his peen on last night’s Celebrity Big Brother launch.
That’s actually a lie, within minutes we were searching the web for proof and a gentle reminder of the sex tape that he made with Kim Kardashian.
Ray J is famous for a number of things… a music career (sort of) his singer sister Brandy (in the 00s) and *that* sex tape which, some suggest, basically launched Kim Kardashian’s career. It seems as though he’s incredibly proud of it and he managed to mention it in his introductory VT before entering the BB house.
He said,
“You might know me for my music, TV shows and my dick!
“Put some money in my pocket, you’re still jerking off to the sex tape! Enjoy!”
Series four of the show is due to be filmed in Austria and Channel 4 execs have roped in Davina McCall for hosting. Despite broken ankles, sprained everythings and even a broken back a whole galaxy of stars have signed up for the new season.
Yikes. A couple from Essex who bought their 8-year-old granddaughter a shower gel pressie from LUSH were left red-faced because the instructions on usage weren’t “age appropriate”.
The product’s instructions read,
“If you really don’t know how, then we suggest you find someone you really like and invite them into the shower with you to demonstrate”.
“My wife spends quite a bit of money in Lush and bought two sets for my two grandchildren. It didn’t say anything about age restrictions or anything. They opened their bits and pieces on Christmas night, and Macy undid her one. It was called ‘Little Snow Fairy’ which to me indicates it’s ideal for kids.
“I happened to pick up the bottle and was reading aloud how to use it.”
Well, all was not happy in the Essex household. Richard phoned Lush. Speaking to the manager he said,
“I told him, ‘Innuendo amongst adults is fine, but when you’ve got to explain to an eight-year-old what it means, I think that’s wrong.’”He said I wasn’t the first person to complain about this – they’ve had four or five complaints over the past couple of years about it, but nothing’s been done about it. And he actually said this batch is aimed at children.””He did apologise and offered me two free bath bombs, but I said it wasn’t about that – I wanted their labelling to be changed.”
The stars are in… the doors are locked. The 2017 Celebs are revealed.
