| "Idol" winner Taylor Hicks subject of Gay gossip
Soul Patrol, the so-called fan worshipping team of Taylor Hicks, should be renamed Damage Control. The gray-haired American Idol champion needs all the help he can get to deflect Gay rumors circulating weeks before his debut album lands in stores. Is he Gay? Beats me. What I do know is that the velvet, plum-colored jacket Hicks wore on the TV karaoke show was fag-ulous. It was so pretty and brought out the true color of his charcoal eyebrows. Justin Timberlake (AKA hotness on a stick), who releases a new album this month, took a swipe at Hicks saying the Alabama native "can't carry a tune in a bucket". Ouch! Also, a Nashville record producer told The Smoking Gun website that he turned down a five-figure chunk of change to avoid commenting on the budding singer's sexuality and prior drug use to the tabloids. Anywho, the big question isn't whether Hicks is Gay or not. It's whether the carpet on the third floor matches the penthouse. Gay twins get starring role in upcoming Logo reality series Mr. and Mrs. Miller of Smallshittytown, Montana are about to get double snapped. The couple's twin sons are "coming out" in a TV series debuting on the Logo TV channel this fall. Yep, Gay twins. But wait, there's more. Jacob and Joshua Miller were raised in a bible-thumping household, one that condemns men from sleeping with other men. (Insert: rolling eyes and yawn). The Miller twins were brought up as Jehovah's Witnesses, known for their excellence in door knocking and reducing heaven's max capacity to 144,000. Don't believe me? Look them up. Similar to Mormons, sans the secret underwear, Jehovah's Witnesses strongly believe that Gay people are sinners. I strongly believe that they're a bunch of wing nuts. The Miller twins are attractive, body proportionate, and attempting to launch a music career. (Insert: second yawn). Catch them on Logo's "Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising" beginning October 16. By the way, one twin has a boyfriend and the other twin is a party queen. (Insert: messy tramp). Beck, Muse, The Shins, Wolfmother, YYY's at San Francisco's Download Festival Yes, of course you need a weekend getaway to San Francisco!
