Where Are 'The Real World' LGBT Cast Members Today?

I think I first realized I was getting up there when a season of "The Real World" came and went without my watching it and my life went on. With that said, I don't remember all of these gay and lesbian cast members. But Pedro is always in my heart -- and Danny in my crotch -- so finding out where everyone is now (Norm! Beth! Chris Beckman!) is awfully fun. Read HERE.

Danny Roberts Returns to Television!

My friend Greg in Hollywood ran into Danny Roberts yesterday at the premiere of the "Real World: New Orleans" cutie's new series, "DTLA." He still looks handsome as can be, but if he had walked right up to me, I'm not sure I would have even recognized him, unlike when I walked right up to him in 2007. It's great to see him again.

Oh, Danny Boy

Given what happened in Rome with Roger Federer, I decided I'd better bring my camera to "Legally Blonde" last night. You just never know who you might run into (lest I remind you about my Didi Cohn incident?). While we did spot one of the stars of my fave TV show (Jesse Plemons, who plays nerdy Landry on "Friday Night Lights"), as the evening wound down it seemed I'd brought my camera for nothing. Afterward Michael and I stopped at Gristede's in Chelsea to pick up some groceries. On the way out Michael (once again) spotted dreamy Danny Roberts of "The Real World" New Orleans fame walking down Eighth Avenue. Like every other gay man in America, Michael and I both have long-standing crushes on the Georgia cutie, so my camera was suddenly burning a hole in my pocket as he strolled just ahead of us. When we all reached a red light, I smoothly turned into a 14-year-old looking for a date to the Sadie Hawkins Dance and blurted out, "Hi. You're Danny from 'The Real World.'" (No shit.) Danny -- who I think had had a few -- was sweet (and did I mention more adorable than ever?) and asked me my name ("Kenny," I blurted out!) and then luckily Michael intervened and asked for the photo op. Danny was thoroughly amused (bemused?) by the whole thing and said in disbelief, "You actually have a camera on you -- right now?!" (Um, yeah.) He sweetly posed for a couple shots (Michael's pretty nervy when it comes to these things -- "One more. One more.") and then he reviewed them in my digital camera display window with me ("That one looks pretty good," Danny said approvingly) and then quietly returned to his own real world.

Danny's Real World: So I heard from a reader that he'd spotted "Real World" cutie Danny Roberts recently in Chelsea. Here's what he said about it: Hi Ken -- First off, great job with kenneth in the (212)...I read regularly and enjoy it; which is how I know that you are also a Real World Danny fan much like myself. I honestly hate doing this (hopefully this doesn't make me a stalker) but I figured I'd pass along my sighting... he was at Barracuda this past Friday night. I had too many drinks to attempt a real conversation with him but I was within close proximity for quite a while (trying not to stare) and I believe he said he was living in Brooklyn. Anyway, his grin is 100% intoxicating as ever but I am not a fan of his buzz-cut look. Best... OK: A. Thanks for the kind words. B. You're not a stalker, but I am. So make sure you call me next time this happens. C. Brooklyn? What are you thinking, Danny? Oh, wait. See B. (kenneth in the 212)

Everything's Kosher: When Congress banned known homosexuals from the military, convinced their presence could undermine morale and discipline in 1993, Israel took exactly the opposite approach. All restrictions on gay and lesbian soldiers were dropped. Homosexuals in the Israel Defense Forces could join close-knit combat units or serve in sensitive intelligence posts. They were eligible for promotion to the highest ranks. Fourteen years later, Israelis are convinced they made the right decision. Israel is among 24 countries that permit known gays to serve in the military, and its experience is giving fodder to opponents of the United States' controversial "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Pitt Falls: My blogger pals Steph and Alek lament the fact that even the likes of pretty boy Brad Pitt must age, citing this "shocking" new photo from this week's Palm Springs Film Festival as proof. Pitt reminds me Robert Redford in "Legal Eagles," which isn't a bad thing until you remember that Redford was 50 when that was filmed. (OhLaLa)

Queen With a Vengeance? Authorities investigating the Dec. 31 shootings of six gay men in Chicago at what some described as a "gay house" have new leads that suggest it was not a hate crime but the result of a "personal feud or rivalry." One of those new leads is a cell phone photo or video that has detectives searching for a "person of interest." "Someone didn't like someone else," one city official close to the investigation told Advocate.com. "To settle the score, one young man left the party and returned with one or more friends and guns." Sounds fierce to me. (Advocate)
