  • Rylan hints that Celebrity Big Brother could go on for another two years

    Rylan hints that Celebrity Big Brother could go on for another two years

    This year’s BB was thought to be the last…

    Big Brother is 18-years-old. Hard to believe but this year marks the 18th series of Big Brother and the 22nd of Celebrity Big Brother. It was widely reported that this season of the British version would be the last, on Channel 5 at least, but Rylan, who currently hosts Bit On The Side has hinted that it could go on for at least another two years.

    The show has been on Channel 5 since 2011, when it moved from Channel 4, the show’s original home.

    In a Q&A, speaking about how great BB is he said, “It’s amazing, and it’s amazing to be a part of TV history like that….LET’S MAKE IT 20!”

    He recently took a break from hosting, but he said, “I’m over the moon after our extended break to be back where I belong. Looking after my baby. Not a series goes by that I don’t get excited about a new launch”.

    Well indeed. Are you a fan, would you like to see another two series?

     

  • Is it safe to use a carrot in the bedroom?

    Is it safe to use a carrot in the bedroom?

    It might seem like a wise move – after all carrots are phallically shaped and are cheap as chips but they might not actually be the best thing to use as a sex toy.

    The problem is that they don’t have a flared end, like dildos and butt plugs, which means if you lose your grip you’re going to have to poop it out – wide end first. Which might be your thing, but probably won’t feel great.

    What’s more, if you end up having trouble passing it, you could end up in casualty, which let’s face it is not the best way to spend a Sunday morning.

    Sex and Fruit

    Using fruit and veg could be a great way to excite and reignite your sex life though. Using soft fleshy, non-acidic fruit such as honeydew melons or watermelons can be an exciting way to get new sensations. Simply put a hole in it and thrusting in and out will provide interesting brand new feelings.

    Alternatively, you can always use other foodstuffs such as chocolate spreads or even Marmite, who recently brought out body paint.

    Caution must be used when inserting anything into your butt that doesn’t have a handle or gives good grip. People have ended up in A&E after failing to retrieve a cucumber, banana or carrot that’s gotten lodged in their rectums. Anything that gets stuck up your butt will be a painful experience that can actually lead to death if left untreated. We would urge anyone who has gotten anything stuck up there to seek medical advice immediately, no matter how embarrassed you feel.

    Oh did I say use lots of lube   

    Alternatives?

    If you’re looking to insert a food, why not try a lollipop or ice cubes, which will melt.

    It’s best to use toys that are actually designed for insertion, such as dildos and vibrators. Don’t forget if you’re using toys together and share them, to use a fresh condom before using it on your partner, and wash them properly after use. 

    If you are going to insert a carrot, gherkin, cucumber or banana, make sure you’re relaxed. Some of these veg can be much larger than a penis, so using lots of lube and taking your time is a must.

    A North London LGBT+ venue, Her Upstairs has closed abruptly, without warning for unspecified “legal reasons”.

    North London’s gay scene has been dealt another blow after the popular LGBT and drag venue, Her Upstairs, closed with no warning. The venue’s management announced the sudden closure on its Facebook page.

    The statement reads,

    “It is with great sadness that as of today Her Upstairs is no longer open for business at 18 Kentish Town Road.
    “For legal reasons we cannot share the details of this sudden closure.
    “We regret that we have had to do this so abruptly and without giving our incredible community a chance to say goodbye to the space.
    “Our queer spaces are so vital, but it’s the people, not the bricks and mortar that make the space. We may be lacking in a physical space but we feel each and everyone of our family with us no matter where we go.
    “This is a goodbye for the present but not a farewell.
    “With love from the Her Upstairs family, stay tuned and we’ll see you very soon.”

    The closure comes just a few years after the landmark venue, The Black Cap was forced to close in Camden. The only LGBT venue that now exists in North London in permanent form is Central Station which is close to Kings Cross train station. THEGAYUK.com has been running a campaign called Lost LGBT Scene which keeps track of LGBT venues closures in London since the year 2000.

It has to do with the material, and making sure it’s not gratuitous, that it’s done in a way that’s shot beautifully, and it’s for a reason. And I’d never played a lesbian before. Of course, we’re supportive of the gay and lesbian community. I’ve just never portrayed that on camera. Once I met Taylor I knew that it was going to be really comfortable and okay, but the nudity was a little bit of an issue for me, so Jenji and I talked about it”.

  • Donald Trump’s Walk Of Fame Star to be removed

    Donald Trump’s Walk Of Fame Star to be removed

    It was a unanimous decision.

    President Trump‘s star on the Walk Of Fame could be removed permanently after it was destroyed by recent vandalism.

    Deciding on whether the star should be retained following its destruction, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously on a resolution which will urge it and the Los Angeles City Council, who decides on who makes the Walk of Fame. to remove it for good.

    The vote was taken on Monday night and the agenda item read, “The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country.”

    The vote was unanimous.

    After the meeting, a council rep emailed The Hollywood Reporter saying, “At this evening’s regular City Council meeting, the West Hollywood City Council voted unanimously to approve the Resolution.”

    However, this vote doesn’t necessarily mean that the LA City Council and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will act on its vote.

    The LA City Council and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce have never removed any Walk Of Fame stars for reasons of controversy or wrong-doing.

    Trump’s star has been vandalised numerous times and completely destroyed twice. The first vandalism happening in 2007. The latest was in July when a 24-year-old activist allegedly took to it with a pick-axe.

    Donald’s Trump’s Walk Of Fame star was awarded to him in 2007.

  • Zombie Boy’s management insist death wasn’t suicide

    Zombie Boy’s management insist death wasn’t suicide

    Rick Genest, AKA Zombie Boy’s death was an accident, not a suicide – his family and management insist.

    (C) BIGSTOCK

    Earlier this week the model Zombie Boy, who famously appeared in Lady Gaga’s 2011 hit, ‘Born This Way’ died at the age of 32. It was first reported that his death was by suicide, but his family has said that his death was actually accidental.

    He was found dead at his home in Montreal after falling from a balcony at the back of his resident.

    Genest’s manager Karim Leduc told PEOPLE, “For us, the family and close entourage, we feel there’s too many inconsistencies around his death to rule it as a suicide, and for people to jump to conclusions that rapidly was disappointing,

    “The balcony from which he fell on the third floor was a very dangerous balcony,” Leduc added. “Just three weeks ago, I visited that balcony with him and was on it with him smoking a cigarette, as well. It’s a balcony that has very small rails/guards — an emergency/fire escape balcony – and he was leaning his back towards it like sitting on the ledge of the rail, and he fell from his backside onto the floor.”

    There has been speculation that he jumped rather than fell but Leduc said that Genest had left no note and that he “actually made plans for a couple things that week.”

    After the news of his death, Lady Gaga wrote a poignant tribute to Genest on Thursday and stated that he had taken his own life“The suicide of friend Rick Genest, Zombie Boy is beyond devastating,” she tweeted. “We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it.”

    “If you’re suffering, call a friend or family today,” she added. “We must save each other.”

    Rick Genest, known professionally as Zombie Boy has died at the age of 32. He was found just days before what would have been his 33rd birthday.

    Most notably he starred in Lady Gaga’s music video for the LGBT+ anthem, ‘Born This Way’ in 2011. He was found deceased at his home in Montreal, Canada.

    It is believed that he committed suicide. There are no details at this time surrounding the cause of his death.

    Lady Gaga was one of the first to pay tribute to the model. Taking to Twitter she wrote,

    “The suicide of friend Rick Genest, Zombie Boy is beyond devastating. We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it. If you are suffering, call a friend or family today. We must save each other”.

    “Science tells us that it takes 21 days to form a habit, if you are suffering from Mental Health issue I beckon for today to be your first day or a continuation of the work you’ve been doing. Reach out if you’re in pain, and if you know someone who is, reach out to them too”.

    Management for Rick posted a tribute on Facebook, saying they were “shocked and pained” by his death.

    “Rico was loved by all those who had the chance to meet him and know him,” said the post.

    “We received the unfortunate news at the beginning of the afternoon and members of the team have come to support his family and relatives in this dark and difficult moment.

    “We want to present our deepest condolences… Thank you zb for these beautiful moments in your company and for your radiant smile.”

  • Vodafone is doing something amazing for Trans customers

    Vodafone cements its ongoing support for the LGBT+ community by updating a raft of policies to help transgender customers.

    This is how you do business.

    Telcoms giant, Vodafone has announced a series of trans-inclusive initiatives, as part of the company’s commitment to improving the lives of employees and customers.

    The announcement comes ahead of Vodafone’s sponsorship of Brighton Pride this weekend, part of Pride events throughout the country which the company supports.

    New initiatives include:

    • Vodafone’s ‘Name Change’ process has been simplified and there is no need for a customer to visit a store or speak to a customer agent to do this. Instead, it can be by post; it simply requires one form to be completed with proof of the name change. This is intended to remove anxiety which may arise from the need to speak to someone. Full details can be accessed here: Name Change Process
    • A new ‘life events’ section has been added to Vodafone’s customer website to provide easier access to information on the ‘Name Change’ process. Vodafone has also made it easier to search and find relevant information.
    • For Pay Monthly customers, 24 months of bills will now be accessible, which can be used to support applications for a Gender Recognition Certificate.
    • A specialist team has been established to respond to ‘living as me’ requests, available on livingasme@help.vodafone.co.uk
      Customers can also adopt the gender-neutral Mx prefix via our live chat, voice and retail channels.

    Vodafone is a proud supporter of lesbian, bi, gay and trans communities and recognises that there are key moments when colleagues and customers may need additional support.

    Vodafone has also been listening to LGBT+ communities and in particular, the experience trans people have when engaging with large organisations. Independent cross-sector research in April this year indicated that:

    • Trans and non-binary people felt it was a battle dealing with large organisations.
    • They felt they needed to ‘come out’ every time they engaged a customer service team.
    • The name change process caused anxiety, was prone to errors and felt unfair when compared to the experience of other groups.
    • Contact centre agents and in-store advisors were quick to make judgements based on appearance and by sound of voice.
    • Gendered selections were exclusive and did not reflect all identities.
    • New biometric processes could be inflexible and proved a challenge for those transitioning.

    In July 2018, the UK Government published results from a national LGBT+ survey which saw more than 108,000 LGBT+ people take part and provide insight into LGBT+ life across the UK. In light of the findings, Vodafone launched an LGBT+ Retail Ambassador programme to train and support in-store employees with LGBT+ topics.  This has led to the rainbow symbol being incorporated into name badges and more than 100 retail stores have come out to support local pride events up and down the country.  This complements existing training initiatives such as the Vodafone Way of Care that incorporates LGBT+ scenarios into our frontline training.

    The company has introduced a customer reporting process that now tracks negative experiences LGBT+ customers may have experienced.  This will enable Vodafone to get faster feedback from LGBT+ customers on where change is needed to improve how we support customers.

    These customer initiatives build on work Vodafone is already doing to support colleagues, which this year has included launching a “Friends of LGBT” accreditation programme and a series of initiatives to support young LGBT+ people when they start their first job.  This includes offering all new graduates an LGBT+ buddy and supporting 400 graduates through inclusive leadership training.

    The picture comes from a coffee table book (so the picture is v tasteful) called Sombra, by Ruven Afanador and it dates back to when Channing was a promising model. I mean he’s even wearing a trilby hat. How much more class do you want? The picture dates back to before he became a bonafide film star.

    Oh, and in case you’re wondering Mr Tatum is cut!
