It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a rugby hunk so let’s make up for lost time!
I present to you Australian footy player Billy Slater who is celebrating his 36th birthday today.
He’s a longtime member of Australia’s rugby team and scored over 570 points during his first 10 seasons with the Melbourne Storm. He was named Australia’s Greatest Athlete in 2009 and 2010.
And here’s an interesting little tidbit: Billy worked as a racehorse trainer assistant prior to starting his professional rugby career in 2003.
Openly gay actor Dan Levy won the MTV Movie Award tonight for Best Comedic Performance. Here is a link to the Full List of Winners.
Looks like he made it!
Barry Manilow turns 76 today and so I thought I’d share with one of his classic songs. There are so many so sometimes you just gotta make those hard choices.
I feel so much better celebrating Barry as an openly gay man which he has been run recent years. He has said that if he had come out during the height of his popularity in the 1970s and 80s, it would have killed his career.
Probably true.
I suppose better late than never!

Gloria Vanderbilt, who has died at the age of 95, had been in the public eye since she was born. According to her son, CNN anchor and “60 Minutes” correspondent Anderson Cooper, the world had never gotten to see the side she shared with him. In their book, The Rainbow Comes and Goes, and an HBO documentary, Nothing Left Unsaid, both explored the loving and occasionally bickering relationship between mother and son. Rita Braver reports in this piece originally broadcast April 3, 2016.
It was so sad that the friendship between Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper ended and one of the reasons was because the comic had been so close to his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.
I’m not sure if the two women remained in touch after the former CNN New Year’s Eve hosts fell out but upon Vanderbilt’s death at 95, Griffin reflected on their friendship:
I lost a friend today. The one and only Gloria Vanderbilt. I loved her so much. She let me call her “Glo Vandi” and I would be so flattered when she would refer to me as her daughter. When we would have our alone time, we would sit on this sofa and talk for hours. No topic was ever off-limits and believe it or not I would even shut up for a while because, oh the life that woman lived. I’d always plan on wearing something ridiculous to get her to laugh from the moment she opened the door. She would invite me to a book event, where I know I would be surrounded with so many intellectuals, I would always get overdressed and try to learn a new big word for the occasion! The dinner parties! I was so thrilled to be invited and spend more time with her. Often at these events I would be quite intimidated and Glo knew what to do. She would stop the conversation and say “Kaaaathy, WHAT is going on with the Lohans?” She would open up about her early life. The trauma she went through as a little girl & a grown woman. The ups, downs of her life. Her candor was extraordinary. I have no photos of those private conversations. “Kathy, there’s always more and we’re never done”. I love you Glo

Italian tennis pro Matteo Berrettini edged past Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Stuttgart Open final on Sunday, lifting his third career singles trophy after a narrow 6-4, 7-6 (11) victory.
Berrettini, 23, was competing in his third singles final of the season, following victory in Budapest in April and defeat in Munich last month, on clay on both occasions. The narrow win marked his first tournament victory on grass.
The victory lifts the sexy pro’s world ranking to a career high number 22.
He will next try and make an impression at Wimbledon where he will be seeded. The furthest he’s ever gone in a grand slam tournament was the third round of the French Open last year.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg had a busy morning appearing on two of the Sunday morning news show. On NBC’s Meet the Press he talked about his presidential campaign, saber rattling with Iran and foreign interference in elections. On CBS’s Face the Nation, Buttigieg joined moderator Margaret Brennan for a wide-ranging interview about his 2020 campaign for president, foreign policy and more.
