Regarding Jason Priestly, there was an interesting blind
item a couple of years ago in the Village Voice. Musto
wrote something to the effect of: "You can't believe it but
that young TV stud really is dating that tub of lard
magazine publisher." Somerhing to that effect. This was
before Jann Wenner was out but the B.I. was obvious
because there had been so many pictures published of the
two of them motorcycling together.

Well, that reminds me of a story about Jason I heard a couple years
ago. "Hill Street Blues" Daniel J. Travonti (well known gay of
course) had a big gay bash at his house and one of the guests that
arrived was Jason Priestly with his "gentleman" friend.

Sorry, but that's all I know of the story. I wasn't at the party.
Pity.

Funny. Some people who weren't at parties *know* what happened at them and
spend months trying to prove it, looking more and more foolish as time goes
on.

According to the word around H-wood. Jason is soooo gay...not a het bone in
his gorgeous bod....


Those cute guys from 90210, they all seem to stir some activity on the
Gay-Dar.....Ian Zering (didn't he just get hitched?), Brian Greene and of
course...(known to be gay) Luke Perry....(hmmm.., interesting casting
choices..one would think)....


Cheers...

Daniel J. Travanti gay??? Man, I hadn't even heard a murmur on this one.
Can anybody corroborate?

Wenner left his wife and kids for Calvin Klein employee Matt Nye in a
rather well-publicized split. Wenner's ex- allegedly refers to Nye as
"Soon-Yi". IIRC, Fran Lebowitz commented, "I wouldn't give up a *chair*
for Matt Nye."

I hadn't heard anything on Travanti either, though...

Not terribly surprising, though... isn't Darren Starr (series creator)
openly gay?

And, yep, Ziering got hitched last year to a PLAYBOY model. IIRC, Perry
is/was also married, to a woman "outside the business"-- Minnie
somethingorother.

When Daniel J. Travanti was on "Hill Street Blues", he and his gorgeous female
co-star were thought to be the biggest queen and bull dyke on TV.

Is DHP gay? And if so what's the big deal?

Not a regular viewer of 90210, but I seem to have picked up some kind of weird
unspoken subtext way back when Brian's character's best buddy (forgot the
name) died. Did anyone else notice? It seemed that there was something to the
loss that he couldn't talk to anyone about. As if no one would understand...

Wasn't his co-star Veronica Hamel?

I gather you mean David Hyde Pierce. Yes, he is. Ain't no big deal at all,
IMHO.

Yes.

You're the one who's asking if he is. So I guess you're the one who can
answer that.

I always thought Brian Austin Greene was gay and somewhat effeminate.
However, as he has matured, I have found myself more attracted to him.
I heard/read some where that Jaso Priestley was very well endowed. I've
always found his pupy-dog like looks attractive but I find Brian more
attractive than Jason is; which is the exact opposite of how I saw
these two when the show began...

Btw, I've always thought Travanti and Hamel were wonderful actors.

I thought it was more like Brian's character felt bad because he had sort of
deserted his dork cowboy hat wearing friend right before the *accident*. I
didn't pick up any weird stuff, and you bet I'm always looking for it. <G>

Sorry, I thought they were just acting. Although Travanti reminds me
of Mayor Giuliani, but less butch.
