    What else?

He revealed himself to be something of a fan for Us politics. Drawing a comparison to his and Donald’s tan he said, “As one who has spent his entire professional life being ridiculed for my ‘fluorescent tanned complexion’, I felt compassion for the man before he even uttered a single word.”

    Dale also said that he thought that Mr Trump was “truly authentic” and “fearless” and praised his battle against political correctness.

    Body image and figure skating can be a dangerous combo as Adam Rippon has shared. Speaking to the New York Times, Adam gave details on how he kept so slim – and apparently, his story is not isolated as many athletics feel the pressure to stay thin.

    Karen Crouse, the author of the of the NYT piece, wrote how the skater, in 2016, endured a daily diet of just three slices of whole wheat toasted bread, topped with just I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and three cups of coffee, which he sweetened with Splenda.

    The out Olympian said that it makes him feel “dizzy” thinking about the diet, revealing, “I looked around and saw my competitors, they’re all doing these quads, and at the same time they’re a head shorter than me, they’re 10 years younger than me and they’re the size of one of my legs.”

    According to Adam, when he was 10, he said that his coach told his mother that he would never be able to execute advanced jumps due to his “heavy bottom”.

    Fortunately, his mother, herself a former dancer,  recognised her son’s relationship with food and sat him down to talk about sensible eating.

    He now weighs a healthier 10 pounds heavier than he did in 2016.

  • Perez Hilton can’t get a boyfriend, “I’m disappointed”

    It’s nearly Valentine’s, but he can’t find a boyfriend.

    It seems that even Perez Hilton can’t catch a break in the dating world. Despite changing up his online profile and uploading new pictures, the internet’s “queen of gossip” just can’t find any boyfriend material.

    The father of three, looked healthy and relaxed as he updated his fans in a video blog, but said he was left feeling “disappointed” that he couldn’t get traction with any guys from his online dating efforts. Since moving out of New York, Perez revealed that there just weren’t many guys using the website that he currently uses for his hook-ups… yes, we said website.

    According to the vlog Perez published, he refuses to use phone-based apps – and only uses website dating. Considering the world is on Tinder or Grindr perhaps he needs to change tactics!

    But he’s not just leaving his dating fate to the online world – he was even cruising guys at a recent GLAAD event, which he said was an excellent opportunity to meet men. Despite lots of “eligible bachelors” at the event, he didn’t manage to hook up with anyone!

    Supposedly, Perez has always imagined that he wouldn’t meet somebody until he was in his 40s, well he doesn’t have too much time left, as he turns 40 next month.

    Getting serious for a moment, Perez said, “I don’t see it, I don’t see it happening. But maybe… Maybe I’ll date a YouTuber! Who knows. Although most YouTubers are not nearly 40-year-olds like me”.

    Well, there’s no rush – Mr Right is out there.

  • Here’s why Anthony Rapp exposed Kevin Spacey’s alleged behaviour

    The Star Trek actor out spoke out in late 2017 about Kevin Spacey and his alleged historic behaviour, now Rapp has revealed why he did it.

    Speaking to CBS’s The Talk, Anthony Rapp revealed why he spoke up about how he says Kevin Spacey acted towards him when he was just a 14-year-old boy.

    In October, Rapp who is now 46, told Buzzfeed that he joined Spacey for a party at his Manhattan apartment saying that he was the only non-adult at the party and soon got bored. After a while, Rapp said that he wandered into the bedroom, watched TV until well past midnight. He then alleged that Spacey made “sexual advances” toward the then teenager.

    According to the report in Buzzfeed, Rapp had once approached a lawyer to discuss legal action against Spacey but was told it was not a case worth pursuing. He also stated that because of the accusations levied against Harvey Weinstein that he was “really awake to the moment that we’re living in”.

    He reinforced this by saying, “Part of what allowed the Harvey situation to occur was that there was this witting and unwitting conspiracy of silence,

    “The only way these things can continue is if there’s no attention being paid to it, if it’s getting forgotten.”

    Rapp also spoke about how he felt “dread” whilst watching the Tony Awards when Kevin Spacey was a host for the show.

    “Protect”

    The Broadway and Star Trek actor said that despite the risk he knew there were more stories about the now disgraced actor but he also wanted to “protect” people.

     

    “It was a risky thing”

    Speaking on The Talk, Rapp said,  “I knew that there were more stories so I was just hopeful that coming forward, it would encourage more people to tell the truth.”

    “I knew that it was a risky thing.

    “I knew that he was very popular and certainly a respected actor, but at the same time I knew that I was trying to protect people”.

    His statement was met with applause from the show’s live studio audience.

    What happened to Spacey after the allegation?

    Shortly after Rapp’s allegations, Netflix, the co-producers of the Spacey-fronted hit TV series, House Of Cards, confirmed that the show would continue, but without Spacey in the role of Frank Underwood. However, there was speculation that the show would be cancelled, the news was met with considerable backlash with some fans sending abuse the Rapp. However, the show will continue but with Robin Wright, who plays Clare Underwood, taking the lead.

    In January it was revealed that British police said they were investigating a man over a third sexual assault. The Press Association reported that the man was Kevin Spacey.
