The National Hockey League has suspended Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery indefinitely. Avery has been blogged about a number of times here for both his on-ice antics (causing a rule change during the playoffs by waving his stick near the face of a goalie) and off-ice interests (interning at Vogue magazine). The reason for the [...]

Michael Phelps tops Anderson Cooper
That Anderson Cooper, the newly muscular and somewhat openly closeted CNN anchor and “60 Minutes” contributor, would get topped by an Olympic athlete isn’t much of a surprise. But that it was Michael Phelps and it unfolded on TV last night in a pool with both in bathing suits and shirtless, provided a nice perk [...]
Out actor’s NBA trash talk
In 2003, Out magazine named Eric Millegan “Hottest Up-and-Coming Openly Gay Actor of 2003.” He’s best known for playing Zack Addy, a regular character during the first three seasons on the Fox TV series Bones. Millegan is now indulging his passion for the NBA — and his beloved Portland Trail Blazers — with “Eric Millegan’s [...]
Andy Roddick’s ‘full Monty’ a hot item
Andy Roddick can sell sexy. But strip off his shirt and things get hotter. Promise a “full Monty” and, well, that can drive a crowd wild. Roddick was in Atlanta on Sunday for the 16th annual Advanta WTT Smash Hits, an event hosted by Elton John to raise funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation and [...]
Warren Sapp, “Dancing” diva
TMZ reports on their website (and their highly entertaining, snarky TV show) that former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp is acting out behind the scenes of ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars.” Sapp, who retired after the 2007 season, is a contestant on the current season of the show. TMZ says that Sapp is [...]
Hot Guy, Hot Horses
A gay man who is a friend of mine sent me this link to “Lorenzo the Flying Frenchman” with the comment that he thought the horses and the guy were both hot. I agree, and want to share them with Outsports readers. The tradition of “Roman riding” and “Roman driving” has been around for a couple [...]
Romo’s girlfriend drama, part 7 (or 8?)
Does Tony Romo have a hankering for an old flame? The Cowboys quarterback’s ex-girlfriend, singer Carrie Underwood, told Allure magazine in its September issue that he still calls her. “The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer.” This drew a response from his current girlfriend, Jessica “Yoko Romo” Simpson, who [...]
Kenny Chesney’s NFL undressing
Country crooner Kenny Chesney certainly isn’t doing much these days to end the gay rumors that have followed him throughout his career. Chesney, in New Orleans for a concert this week, hit the practice field on Monday with the New Orleans Saints. After, head coach Sean Payton recounted how Chesney helped strip down Saints cornerback [...]
Chesney concert interrupted by better song
Kenny Chesney’s “Poets and Pirates” tour reached Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night. Appropriately, the country singer’s concert was interrupted for a rendition of the Eagles’ Fight Song: [youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=NdQmcl76Yow] “Fly Eagles Fly” — what would Chesney’s friend Peyton Manning think? – Joe Guckin Share on Facebook
Broadcasters go gay for Beckham
What is it with newscasters and soccer stud David Beckham? The latest round came Thursday when Fox morning show host Brian Kilmeade got a little tongued-tied when Gretchen Carlson called him on his burgeoning man crush over Beckham. He was on “Fox & Friends” to promote his three-part interview with Beckham. “It is impossible not [...]
‘Borat’ creator’s gay wrestling match
British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, aka “Borat,” apparently has duped Arkansas fight fans by promising “hot chicks, cold beer, hardcore fights,” but delivering a show that had two male wrestlers kiss and make out. The unsuspecting audience who turned up for the Blue Collar Brawlin’ event, lured by the promise of $1 beer, expected a [...]
Is A-Rod Madonna’s new bat boy?
It’s a great day for a gay journalist who loves sports when I can write about A-Rod and Madonna in a single post. Ah, yes. It seems the subject of my long-standing man crush, Alex Rodriguez, and a favorite crooner diva of mine, Madonna, are friends. And when I say friends, I mean it in [...]
Tiger Woods, wrong again
Tiger Woods said last year at Oakmont, site of the 2007 US Open, that no 10-handicapper could break 100 at the course. I don’t know what a 10-handicapper is, and I don’t care. All I know is that this statement, like his comment this week that nobody watches hockey anymore, has effectively been proven wrong. [...]
Mariah Carey: Worst. Pitcher. Ever.
Mariah Carey was in Japan promoting her new album this week, so one of her handlers (not Benny Medina, we’re told) decided to get her a stint throwing out the opening pitch of a baseball game there. Of course, someone might have wanted to explain that the goal was to get the ball to the [...]
‘Sex and the City,’ the lesbian sports angle
Don’t tell those sports-loving New Yorkers this, but Cynthia Nixon doesn’t much care for sports. In fact, she doesn’t even own a television. And she calls herself a lesbian? Her partner, though, makes her watch. You gotta love couples. This tidbit is courtesy of a Q&A with Nixon in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. And [...]
