Tony Danza and Ken Ryker .... gaydar still at work
IDA
The following was found on a private forum on the web
"Gay porn magazine "Dude" has the most innnnnnteresting article in the
June, 1998 issue. Douglas Jerrybill, author of the "Dude Dish" column,
has outed actor Tony Danza and linked him to Ken Ryker! Writes
Jerrybill, "When Hollywood's biggest gay pimp was busted on tax evasion
charges last year, investigators going through his records were
surprised to find actor Tony Danza's name on the lengthy client list.
[...] According to the pimp's records (he accepted both Visa and
MasterCard, but not American Express), Danza's favorite treat was
mega-hung porn star Ken Ryker, who earned over $6,000 a week servicing
Danza and others. Most insiders agree that the several-times-married
Danza probably preferred paying for sex because it was easier than
coming out of the closet and admitting that he's bisexual (or even
totally gay like his twin brother)."

Naturally, I think Tony was cuter when he was on "Taxi", but that aside
I find this very interesting. It makes me think of the "Taxi" episode
when a gay character on the show had the hots for Tony in the show.
They were in a gay bar and that's where the guy let Tony know that he
was attracted to him. And then Alex (Judd Hirsch) comes to the bar and
is quite a hit with the gay patrons.
Boy, it's a very funny episode...

Methinks a pattern is developing -- there was an episode of "Hudson
Street" (two Tony sitcom-flops ago) which similarly featured some gay guy
that everyone thought was in love with Mr. Danza ...
Wonder what Danny Pintauro is making of all of this ...

Euphemism, my dear-- Marilu's too much the lady to use words like
"beaver" or "snatch".

Marilu was *flogging it* on all the talk shows???--!!!
Damn!! Did anybody tape it? I take it back about saying she's "too much
the lady"!
Seriously, though-- the alleged Danza/Ryker coupling is supposed to have
happened a while back. The male madam was busted last year (perhaps it
was David Forrest, who ran "Brad's Buddies"-- Barressi's former
employer?), and his address book supposedly just now came to light. Not
to mention Ken Ryker's been out of the biz for a while now, having found
God 'n' all... though he's currently trying to stage a comeback (Ken
Ryker, I mean-- not Tony Danza or God).
Perhaps Marilu heard about it from Tony long before we did?

I met this guy who attended (attends?) Stanford with the kid from that show.
We, of course, asked him what the Who's the Boss-kid had to say about Tony
Danza. The Who's the Boss-kid told him that Mr. Danza is...straight. But we did
hear that the Who's the Boss Kid is a campus slut.
