Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Carson Kressley Talks 'Carson Nation,' Tweeting About Man Boobs (VIDEO)
Former 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' star Carson Kressley is taking his fashion advice on the road for his new show, 'Carson Nation,' which premieres this month on OWN. He described the show Friday on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated), and also got props on his Twitter skills from guest host Kara DioGuardi, who said she personally hasn't figured out how to use the medium properly."I have a vintage Airstream and my own truck," Kressley said of the show, "and me and my assistant drive it across country, and we stop at all the towns that need our help, which is a lot." A clip from the show featured Kressley helping a woman with her "man jeans."
DioGuardi said she was glad that Kressley tweets, particularly a recent post in which Kressley included a photo of his "moobs," or man-boobs. "Oh, I know a guy who has those," DioGuardi said. "Simon Cowell."
Ted Allen to host new show for Food Network
It sounds like the Food Network has finally come up with a show that will compliment Alton Brown's Peabody-award winner Good Eats. The foodiest member of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Ted Allen, has signed to host Food Detectives, a new Food Network series. Starting Tuesday, July 29th at 9 o'clock ET, the half-hour show will begin illuminating the world about the stuff we eat. They will be "pulling back the curtain and revealing the answers to some of the most puzzling food mysteries."Actually, the concept is kind of like a Mythbusters for food. Ted will host the show and folks from Popular Science Magazine will provide the expertise. For instance, does an apple a day keep the doctor away? What about baked beans, do they really give you gas? If not, what's Beano going to do with all those commercials and product?
Mario Batali is a whore who can cook
Hey, don't yell at me, that line is from Anthony Bourdain!
It was said at the recent roast for chef and Food Network celeb Mario Batali. It was held at Capitale and served as a benefit for the Food Bank of New York.
Lots of fellow chefs and celebrities were at the event, including Queer Eye For The Straight Guy's Ted Allen ("Mario actually hasn't cooked since 1979 - unless you count freebasing"), comedian Artie Lange ("You look like Kiefer Sutherland after he was stung by bees"), and comedian Nick DiPaolo, who asked "What are you, trying to be the Chris Farley of the Food Network?" Yeah, that pic that accompanies the New York mag piece really is kinda disturbing.
As New York reports, even though Rocco DiSpirito and fellow Food Network star Rachael Ray were not at the roast, a lot of the comics dumped on them too. (As Julia told you earlier, Batali will team up with Ray on Iron Chef America this Sunday as they go up against the team of Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis.)
Drew Lachey's next gig: Beauty pageant
Drew Lachey's win last month on Dancing with the
Stars has landed him a spot as co-host of the Miss USA pageant. He'll join Access Hollywood host (and
winner of my personal award for 'Most Annoying Speech Pattern') Nancy O'Dell on the stage. Queer Eye for the
Straight Guy host Carson Kressley will be a pageant commentator.The pageant airs April 21 on NBC.
Now it's just Queer Eye, but there's still a straight guy
Bravo ran Queer Eye For The Straight Guy so much in the past year that everyone got sick of it and ratings dropped. Now, according to this press release, they are not only going to focus more on the personal stories of the straight guys they help out (hmmm, I thought they did that already), but they are changing the title of the show to just Queer Eye.
The press release says the show will feature "more emotionally driven stories." The first episode of the new season is next Tuesday, and it features Red Sox stars Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar, Jason Varitek, Tim Wakefield, and Doug Mirabelli and their wives, helping Florida Little Leaguers rebuild their baseball fields.
