Big and Little Edie Slept Here

For those looking to summer in the Hamptons, have I got big news for you. The lovingly restored Grey Gardens estate (thanks, Ben and Sally!) is available for rent for June and July for just $125,000. The 6,000-square-foot home is set on 1.7 acres, and features a heated gunite pool, a Har-Tru tennis court, those famously lush gardens, 6.5 baths, and 10 bedrooms -- although no one would judge you if you felt the urge to spend all of your time in just one of them.

Shayne Ward Gets NAKED for Attitude

Haven't heard too much from (second season) UK "X Factor" winner Shayne Ward lately. His career must be on the uptick overseas, though, he's now doing "Dancing on Ice" and posing naked on gay magazines. My pal Chart Rigger has all the glorious proof HERE!

'Coach of the Year,' Southern Style

    As opposed to an abomination against the Devil?

The delightful Bob Grisham -- a psychology teacher and the head football coach at Lauderdale County High School in Alabama, known for being a "Coach of the Year" -- doesn't "believe in queers," and also called first lady Michelle Obama a "big fat gorilla." (“Fat butt Michelle Obama,” he said. “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.”) But not to worry. Apparently he "misspoke."

Wigging Out

I don't think the hair and makeup artist on this HBO Phil Spector biopic is going to be winning any Emmys, I'm afraid. Al Pacino's wig is too fuzzy -- like a clown number you'd get in a bag at Ricky's -- and I'm looking for a more defined bang. Am excited about the film, though. From HERE.

Ashe Wednesday

The online auction begins Feb. 8, but I'm not into it. Call me when Kathy Jordan's front chompers go on the block. Read HERE.

Former Mayor Ed Koch Is Dead at 88

  RIP. Here's hoping Mayor Ed Koch -- a gay man in a powerful position who didn't use his power to help his own brothers -- is the last of a dying breed. Read about his three tumultuous terms as mayor of New York City and more HERE.
