Alexander Skarsgard is ready to have tequila-soaked Viking sex with randoms

This is for the Skarsgard-loonies, some real-life "What if I met him and we got drunk together?" stories. You know how Alex has been in New York, filming What Maisie Knew. He spends his downtime in the city, or in the Hamptons, which is where he went this weekend. First, I read this Page Six item this morning about Alexander and tequila. And it gets even better:

"True Blood" stud Alexander Skarsgard was on the hunt for some midnight tequila in the Hamptons over the weekend. The HBO star wobbled up to Water Mill's Stadium Red Estate asking for "shots of Patron" on Saturday night.

Unfortunately, he'd missed the memo that Paul Sevigny's end-of-summer soiree had begun at 8 p.m. and wrapped up already. But Sevigny and DJ Elle Dee headed with him to Southampton's South Pointe, where Skarsgard was seen surrounded by adoring women.

"Alex took pictures with everyone," a spy said. "And bought a ton of shots."

The next night, Skarsgard held court at the Surf Lodge on the patio.

[From Page Six]

So that's what happens, Manhattan and Hamptons Celebitches, if you meet Alex Skarsgard. He will buy you shots of tequila and take photos with you. Oh, it gets even better:

Kate Bosworth who? Although True Blood stud Alexander Skarsgård recently split with his former girlfriend, he seemed to be rebounding just fine while partying in the Hamptons over the holiday weekend.

A bevy of beauties approached the actor while he was drinking Coronas at The Surf Lodge in Montauk late Sunday night, and one bold brunette gets points for creativity for this pickup line.

“How does it feel to be the sexiest man alive?” she was overheard asking him. His response?

“I am?” he replied. Pretty humble, eh?

Or maybe not so much…In between taking photos with eager fans, Skars was also spotted chatting up a blonde. “I’m in New York for two months,” he told her. “Let’s f–king hang!”

Good to see he’s making new friends in his latest location.

Although he spent the night talking to lots of ladies, he seemed particularly close to one girl in his party and departed with their group around 3:45 a.m. The night before, he was spotted at Southpointe nightclub as well.

The brunette Alex seemed especially friendly with is Alexandra Keating, daughter of the former Prime Minister of Australia. She was also partying with her brother and socialite sister Katherine, who’s been linked to celebrities herself, including Andre Balazs and Brandon Davis.

[From E! News]

Alex will also stay humble when you flirt with him. You will say, "My, those are nice pants. You look so bulgey and delicious." And Alex will say, "Oh, this bulge? It's nothing. I mean, it could rock your world, but you know, it's fine." And when you get drunk with Alex, he will drunkenly whisper dirty things in your ear and…

Yeah, this is just a heads up, ladies. He's going to be in New York for two more months. New York bitches better go nail that to the wall, have some crazy Viking sex, and bring some stories back to me.

Here’s a fan photo of Alex - he poses with everybody!

CB had some stuff she wanted to say about True Blood too:

On True Blood’s second-to-last episode (From CB) SPOILERS
I asked Kaiser if I could add a little something to this on the last True Blood, which was alternately cheesy/campy as hell and awesome. It was the second to last episode this season. We won’t recap this one, but I’ll definitely do a post on the season finale this coming Sunday. My favorite scene this week was when Alex’s character, Eric, ripped a dude’s heart out and started drinking from the aorta like a straw. I probably enjoyed it more because he mentioned it in his Blackbook interview. Also, I thought it was stupid as hell that Marnie possessed Lafayette after she was killed. They’ll probably use that as some major plot point in the finale, but like that stupid Maenid in the second season, I just want that bitch to die. Also, what was up with Andy screwing that fairy? That was dumb. And I really didn’t care too much about the plot with Sam and Alcide, I’m sorry to say. I suspect Debbie is about to cause some major problems for Sookie though. She’s got to take her pain out on someone.

Ryan Gosling is bangin’ Eva Mendes now, he took her to Disneyland

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 08:08 AM PDT

wenn3359369

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have been working together on A Place Beyond The Pines, which, I believe, is the same movie where Ryan had to bleach the hell out of his hair. Eva plays Ryan's girlfriend in the movie. And now he's boning her. It must be, because according to Lainey's sources, Ryan took Eva to Disneyland.

I posted an article on August 19 that included photos of Ryan Gosling on set with Eva Mendes, positing that they seemed so hot together, I'd totally be down if they hooked up. Mickey Mouse was listening.

OF COURSE he took her to Disneyland. He takes them ALL to Disneyland. They were there together on Saturday. He had his hand on the small of her back whenever they'd be entering a gate and at one point she had her hand lightly on his ass while they were waiting for a pick up. Am told by several people who saw them that they seemed very comfortable together. And that he would lean over frequently and say sh-t to her, like super closetalking in her ear, in a way that implied there was some intimacy between them. God I hope so. God I hope to see it myself one day. And if it sounds perverted, that's because it is.

Anyway, am told they left in the same ride.

Will he bring her to TIFF? It's not really his style. He'll probably come with his mother and sister, the usual dates. But if he and Eva are a thing right now, I want to see it soon. Because something this hot, and they are super f-cking hot, you worry that it'll blaze out before long.

[From LaineyGossip]

Yeah… I don't like them together. I worry about Ryan and his Year of Random Biscuits. He seems to be going out with everybody this year (Olivia Wilde, Blake Lively, Kat Dennings, maybe even Emma Stone). And it never lasts very long and he always takes them to Disneyland. It's a turnoff (for me). I mean, I get that he's young and unattached and he likes girls and he's going to date some high-profile ladies. But it still feels like he's "pulling a Butler." Meaning that Ryan's becoming kind of a man-whore. And the Disneyland thing is just kind of weird. Take a girl out to dinner. Take me to the movies. Let's go for a walk or something. Don't make me wait in line with screaming children.

Plus, I've never really "gotten" the Eva Mendes thing. She's kind of crazy, and she has permanent Drunk-Face.

Angelina Jolie’s full Vanity Fair pictorial, plus more quotes: “I’m the worst!”

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 08:00 AM PDT

jolie5

Here is the full Vanity Fair pictorial for Angelina Jolie's October cover story. The photos were shot by Met Alas and Marcus Piggott. The photo shoot is weird - it's like Angelina didn't have any problems with letting the kids get photographed, but the photographers decided that we should only see the kids covered up or blurry. Angelina's face looks good, though. My favorite photo is the black-and-white one, where she's wearing the white blouse. We had the first excerpts and shots from Vanity Fair last week, so I won't be reviewing those quotes again. However, various Asian sources have even more quotes from Jolie's interview. How did they get them so fast? I have idea. Here you go:

Angelina on her jewelry line, "Style of Jolie": She revealed that she created her own jewelry line for “fun” and she said that although it’s never been a huge ambition of hers, she did it because she wanted to design pieces she could wear, with the proceeds going to charity. “Yeah, I did it for fun. The proceeds go to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, a foundation I started with Gene Sperling. I like certain types of jewelry I wasn’t finding, big chunky stones with gold. I worked with a designer, saying, ‘If I had an ideal ring, it would look like this.’ Or, ‘I’d love a pair of earrings that look that.’ But I never wear jewelry. Unless I go to a premiere. I’m the worst."

A typical day in Malta, getting fish pedicures with the boys: "I hung out with the kids. Usually we have swim class in the morning for the twins, then art class. The boys got this crazy fish pedicure. There are fish here that eat the dead skin off your feet and I thought it would be fun to send the boys. They were in hysterics, they said it was ticklish."

Angelina wants her kids to have "authentic" experiences without her: "The kids have been learning about the history of Malta and going to the catacombs. I wanted them to have the full experience of traditional tourism, so I let them go without me."

On watching her own movies: “Brad jokes with me, because I’ll watch a movie and I’ll be asleep in five minutes. I’m terrible. There’s some of my own I’ve never seen.”

On going to premieres with Brad: “Since I’ve been with him I’ve seen all the ones we’ve gone to the premieres for. I think I liked ‘Jesse’ ['The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'] because I knew how hard he worked on that. It’s interesting: when you live with an artist, it’s not the film but the process you respect. I know he took a risk on that, fought for it, stood true to what he believed He didn’t cave when people were pressing him, and he made a beautiful film.”

Angelina and Brad read each other's scripts: “We read each other’s things. More now than when we were first together. We throw each other scripts and say, ‘Is this good, or have I lost my mind?'"

[From China Daily, Asian Age and Newstrack India]

I like what she says about The Style of Jolie jewelry. Most of it is oversized topaz and semi-precious stuff, set in yellow gold, and looking very "1970s, with a muumuu". Even Angelina admits she's not a jewelry person, which is basically like saying, "I did this for giggles, Jesus, I would never wear this crap." But The Style of Jolie is getting sort of popular - celebrities are already wearing the stuff on red carpets.

Madonna loves Nazi sympathizers, hates hydrangeas

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:59 AM PDT

wenn34897651

I was already going to write something about how Madonna is basically a Nazi-sympathizer at this point, but then I saw this video. This video is so… old-school Madonna. Like it's 1989 Truth or Dare, Queen Bee bitchiness over NOTHING. Over some dude handing her flowers, and Madonna acts like she was just handed a pile of dog crap. Watch the video:

God, she's just such a pill. "I absolutely loathe hydrangeas. He obviously doesn't know that…" Is it something that is known, even by Madge-loonies?

Anyway, back to Madonna and how she loves Hitler. Jesse James has just found his new girlfriend.

The red Kabbalah bracelet around Madonna’s wrist is supposed to ward off the evil eye, but can it withstand some skeptical side-eye, too?

It’s being reported that her dismally reviewed new feature W.E. whitewashes the Nazi ties of its main characters, Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII; according to Variety’s Leslie Felperin, the movie “conveniently ignores matters of historical record, such as the fact that the duke and duchess were honored guests of Hitler at his Berchtesgaden retreat as late as 1937.”

So that’s one thing, but here’s another: Guess who’s thanked in the end credits? “John Galliano and, particularly bizarrely, Leni Riefenstahl,” says Felperin, “which suggests Madonna has, if nothing else, reasons to be grateful to other people accused of harboring Nazi sympathies.”

Indiewire also points out that the credits misspell Riefenstahl’s name, because things were going so well before then.

[From New York Magazine]

Now, last year, I knew there were going to be problems. Madonna went on record claiming - like she was speaking The Truth - that Wallis and Edward "weren't Nazi sympathizers." Except that the historical record is very detailed on this subject, and it's more than "Oh, Wallis just met Hitler on vacation once." Wallis and Edward were political allies of Hitler, and had Hitler's plan to conquer Britain succeeded, he would have installed Wallis and Edward as the Nazi Vichy heads of state. There is literally no excuse for getting this critical part of history wrong. That alone is unforgivable.

But then Madonna adds in Galliano and Riefenstahl. Taken on his own, I think I might have forgiven Madonna's inclusion of Galliano in the credits. Galliano and Madonna have worked together for years, they're friends and collaborators, and she's showing a rare moment of loyalty in her support for him, despite his anti-Semitic implosion earlier this year. But Leni Riefenstahl, director of Triumph of the Will and one of Hitler's favorite propagandists? For goodness sake.

Linnocent has barely made a dent in her 360 hours of community service

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:58 AM PDT

wenn5713045

This is just a little Linnocent post to get us going this damp Tuesday morning. Is it damp where you are? I'm nearly flooded out. So from rain-soaked sobriety to vodka-soaked crackheads, here's some Linnocent. Radar reports that while Linnocent has been keeping up with her court-ordered shoplifting classes, she's only done 45 hours of her court-ordered 360 hours of community service. Her next court date is in October, where I'm sure the judge will roll her eyes and wag her finger at the poor crackhead.

Lindsay Lohan has been taking her court-ordered shoplifting alternative classes, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

But, although Lindsay has been taking the shoplifting classes, she has yet to make a significant dent in her whopping 360 hours of court-ordered community service at the Downtown Women’s Center.

“Lindsay has completed around 45 hours of her service at the women’s shelter,” a source close to the actress tells RadarOnline.com. “Lindsay does have a full year to comply with all terms of her community service.”

Lindsay also has to do 100 hours at the Los Angeles County morgue. “Lindsay is dreading that aspect the most,” the insider says.

Lindsay must appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner on October 19 for a progress report.

And, despite reports that indicate it’s a done deal, Lohan’s publicist Steve Honig tells RadarOnline.com that Lindsay still hasn’t officially signed on to be part of the upcoming John Gotti biopic. “Hopefully Lindsay will be signed on very soon,” Honig says.

[From Radar]

So, Linnocent is barely working, she's partying all of the time, she's always trying to hustle her way into any party or gig, but she still hasn't found the time to really begin her community service. What did you think was going to happen?

Also, did you hear about this Mena Suvari thing? Believe it or not, I'm not entirely against Linnocent on this issue. Mena and Dania Rameriez made a parody song and music video called "Ass and Titties" which mocks Linnocent, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj. Here's the video, which is NSFW, lyrically and visually.

Now… I "get" the parody, and sure, it's fine. It seems like Eminem, I guess. But while Dania has a career, Mena really doesn't. Sure, both Mena and Daria are working consistently (which is more than we can say for Linnocent), but this seems like a stunt they did just get more attention, which is basically the same thing they're accusing Linnocent of. By the way, Linnocent hates this. She isn't suing yet, though. She told TMZ that the parody video is “pathetic” for "spotlighting her much-publicized misfortunes" (TMZ's words). Linnocent also thinks that "Mena and Dania are using her to stay relevant" but she won't sue because she considers Mena and Daria's conduct to be "petty".

Did LeAnn Rimes get her drifting bolt-ons fixed, or is it just a good bra?

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:57 AM PDT

fp_7836381_rimes_leanne_lav_09_14

These are some newish photos of LeAnn Rimes over the holiday weekend in Malibu, showing off her bones. CB and I actually looked through these photos yesterday and discussed the state of LeAnn's bolt-ons, mainly because in these photos, LeAnn looks… bigger? Just in her chest. Remember, the last we saw LeAnn's bolt-ons, they looked like this. Or this:

leann1

When she first got them, her bolt-ons were (relatively) front and center, but over the past few months, "the drift" has set in, and they've gone to her armpits, leaving us to stare at the gaping chasm of her bony chest plate. So why does LeAnn look so booby in these new photos? Is a good bra? Some padding? Or did she go in and get her bolt-ons fixed? I think it's interesting that LeAnn, Eddie and the "bonus boys" were in Malibu this weekend and nary a bikini photo can be found. Is she still healing from another surgical procedure? Or am I just oblivious to what a good padded bra can do?

By the way, I wouldn't yell at her for getting her bolt-ons fixed. They looked horrible, and somebody needed to do something about the one pointing east and the one pointing west.

Kate Gosselin’s nanny leaves & Kate has a meltdown on 2nd to last Kate Plus 8

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:55 AM PDT

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
I guess there’s a spoiler in the title, but since I have no respect whatsoever for Kate Plus 8 I’ll let it slide. The final episodes of Kate Plus 8 are airing on TLC now, with the series to wrap up forever next week. It’s been cancelled, and Kate will surely hustle and try to scrunch up her sour face into a semblance of a smile to squeeze whatever cash she can out of the public. There’s not much good will left for her now, and she’s pissing away the few fans she has left with her nasty behavior on the show. On the second to last episode, which aired last night, Kate bitched out her best friend and also the nanny for eating some pizza she had saved for the bodyguard Steve, who is rumored to be sleeping with her when he can stand her. The nanny got so fed up she left the road trip that the family was on. It’s unclear to me whether she quit or not, but I’m assuming so. ABC has a clip of Kate freaking out, that’s above, and below is a promo for the show in which we see the nanny Ashley crying and packing up. Here’s a recap:

The drama of the Gosselin family RV trip doesn’t stop until the end of the episode. When the new RV won’t start, Kate accuses the Kate Plus 8 crew of rigging the RVs. Of course, that isn’t the case. It is just some bad luck for Kate and her caravan.

When it is discovered that one of the kids is eating pizza, Kate blows up. She says there were only four slices of pizza left from the night before and those were earmarked for the adults. When the two ladies from the Party Bus note that they don’t want the pizza, she tells them that the pizza should go to Steve, who doesn’t eat mac-n-cheese or salad. She claims that the kid eating the pizza ruined lunch for everyone and now Steve doesn’t have anything to eat.

She tells the women in the bus to get Steve a piece of the remaining slices of pizza. Mady grabs the pizza and hands it to Steve. Kate promptly starts in again about how it is ‘disgusting’ for Mady to grab the pizza and that one of the adults should have wrapped it in foil instead of letting Mady grab it with her ‘dirty’ hands. This upsets Ashley, who has a breakdown. Frankly, it is surprising that she has lasted this long without a serious breakdown considering the way Kate has treated her and Jamie like children the entire trip.

Ashley remarks that everyone has enough food to eat because the two refrigerators are so stuffed that it is difficult to close them. Seriously? Like Kate couldn’t just run in at a store or a fast food restaurant to grab food for the people with her on the trip.

The whole incident was just the icing on the cake for poor Ashley. She notes that she has worked for Kate for five years and that this is the worst it has ever been. The Kate Plus 8 staff members send Ashley home. She has a sad goodbye scene with the kids. She reminds them that she loves them all and that she will see them again. It was a touching scene, and hopefully when Kate sees it, she will realize what a gem she had in Ashley. For the kids’ sake, Kate should apologize to Ashley and hope that Ashley will come back.

On her Twitter page, Kate tweets that she didn’t know Ashley was leaving. She says she was in her RV doing an interview. That is probably one of the smartest things the producers of Kate Plus 8 have ever done. Can you imagine the dramatic scene that would have unfolded if Kate had been there? It probably would have been much worse than any ever seen on this show.

The end of the episode finds the kids somewhat happy and the adults happy that the two-week trip is done.

[From Gather]

Does this mean that vile Kate is going to have to downsize her lifestyle now that her show is no longer going to be on the air? Also, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If this is how she is when the cameras are rolling, consider what a nasty mean bitch she must be when she’s not being filmed. It’s exploitative for her kids to live with cameras like that, but consider the alternative for them. Her kids have got to be living in total fear.

Remember the several month period in 2009 when everyone thought that Jon Gosselin was the party at fault since he was publicly running around with all those coeds? Kate’s bitchiness trumps his douche factor several fold.

Gwyneth Paltrow deigns to acknowledge saving a peasant’s life on 9/11

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:39 AM PDT

wenn3492298

A few weeks ago, we found out that Gwyneth Paltrow "saved a life" on 9/11 by almost running down a woman on the streets of New York. The woman was walking to work and Dame Goop almost crashed her Mercedes into her. The woman was late for the subway, so she late for work at the World Trade Center, thus, her life was saved. To Goop's credit, SHE wasn't the one pushing the story or publicizing it, it was all this woman who lived to tell the tale. Gwyneth's publicist only confirmed the details. But now that Goop is in Venice promoting a film, she took the time to talk about it:

Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t mean to be a hero on September 11, 2001 — but, thanks to post-yoga class encounter with a jaywalking pedestrian named Lara Lundstrom Clarke in downtown Manhattan, she became one.

Last month, Clarke recounted her “Sliding Doors moment,” in which she had an awkward stand-off with Paltrow (in her Mercedes SUV) on Seventh Avenue — thereby making her miss her train to work at the World Trade Center. (By the time Clarke arrived, the first tower was already falling.)

Promoting her flick Contagion at the Venice Film Festival, Paltrow, 37, acknowledged receiving a letter from Clarke and recounted her own version of that day.

“Basically, what happened was I had gone to a yoga class very early,” Paltrow explained.

“I was on the way home and it was the morning of September 11 — not that I knew at the time what that meant — and a girl was jaywalking across the street and we kind of both stopped at the same time and waited a really long time,” said Paltrow.

“Ten years later I got a letter from her saying that she had been late for work and we had that thing and she went down to the Christopher Street station to catch her train to go down to the World Trade Center where she worked on the 77th floor of the South Tower and the train was just pulling out,” the Oscar winner and mother of two continued.

“It was an extraordinary story and all I could think about is all of the people who had experiences like that that day, but aren’t able to reach out because it wasn’t a recognizable person,” Paltrow pointed out. “I think a lot of fates were changed that day obviously and I am very humbly happy to be a part of her story.”

[From Us Weekly]

I like Gwyneth's emphasis on how the woman was "jaywalking". Which makes it okay that Goop almost ran her down in her Mercedes, I guess. No, I won't make fun of it. Gwyneth is handling the situation the best way she can. It's not like she's "pulling a Goop" and starting the conversation like, "My dear friend, this peasant, says I'm a national hero. Beyonce said my dancing is heroic too. It must be true. I demand a monument in my honor!" I also like the point that Goop made about how many people have similar stories of that day, but aren't able to find their "heroes" because the people were just normal, ordinary people.

Inside Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s two bedroom home (photos)

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:09 AM PDT

Jennifer Aniston
We’ve heard that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have moved in together, and this is the first time I’ve seen clear photos taken inside their new cozy digs in the Hollywood Hills. Kaiser tells me that these came out for the first time a while ago, and that they were in the Daily Mail last week. There are more pictures here I wanted to show, though.

ah_6100659738_44571b4c3c_o

ah_6100659504_84cebb37a0_o
This move to cohabitate with her lovah represents a significant downsizing for Aniston. She moved from a huge estate that she just sold for $38 million to this relatively small two bedroom 1,760-square-foot home that rents for $17,500 a month. Don’t feel sorry for Aniston for living like a super wealthy commoner, though. She’s just in this place temporarily while she’s looking for yet another lavish mansion to decorate like a 70s porn palace.

As temporary accommodation while house hunting goes, this is better than most.

It was reported recently that Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Justin Theroux have leased this cosy two-bedroom home while searching for a more luxurious house.

The 1,761 square foot bungalow is nestled high up in the Hollywood Hills with spectacular views over the city, providing a private little love nest for the couple…

The couple are shelling out $17,500 a month for the property, but that is small change compared to the $38million Aniston pocketed from the sale of her 10,000 square foot Beverly Hills mansion.

The couple rented the house on August 1, several months after Aniston decided that her Architectural Digest-featured was ‘too much’ for her and she wanted to simplify her life.

[From The Daily Mail]

ah_6100114547_dbbbe08e69_o

The design of this place is not to my taste at all, but this is how it was staged to rent, and it’s not like Aniston is responsible for it. Plus it’s better than the heavy dark wood, shag carpeting and Ron Burgundy styles of her last place. If you’re going to chose a (relatively, given their wealth) small house to live in, it’s best to do so when the relationship is new. When the afterglow wears off and you’re stuck with dealing with someone’s messes and now annoying habits, that’s when the super wealthy can retreat to their own wing of the mansion and not have to deal with the other person’s sh*t at all. For us commoners, some of us would just be grateful to have our own bathrooms.

The kitchen is gorgeous. I love kitchens and bathrooms.

Chaz Bono on competing in DWTS: “America really needs to see this”

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 06:22 AM PDT

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
The lead story on E! News this weekend was Chaz Bono’s involvement on Dancing With the Stars. They showed a clip of him on the red carpet back when he used to be a woman, (similar to this video around 1:15). The difference must seem striking to some people, as he now looks like the brother of the person he used to present as.

Chaz has finally said something, however brief, about the controversy over his participation on DWTS. He made a quick statement outside rehearsals for the show, saying that “[The controversy] made me realize I’m really glad I’m doing this, because America really needs to see this.” Apparently there’s a group that is announcing a boycott of DWTS, which will probably just bring the show even higher ratings than it normally has. You can read about it on this link, I’m not going to post it all here as it’s just the same crap we’ve already heard.

Meanwhile openly gay reality show designer Carson Kressly is also competing this season and getting much less publicity. He quipped on Twitter, “2 all freaking out about having the GLBT community represented on #DWTS - its a ballroom dancing show. Its pretty gay already.” Kressly is the second out gay person to appear on DWTS after Lance Bass. Producers have announced that they won’t have same-sex dance partner pairings, though. Executive producer Conrad Green said “This is not a social dancing show, it’s a dancing competition. A man should dance with a woman, no matter what your sexual orientation, in ballroom.”

Chaz’s spokesperson Howard Bragman perhaps best summed up this controversy over Chaz on DWTS. “Watching Chaz Bono dance is not going to make your kid transgender. But what it can do is possibly save your kids life because young transgender kids, kids with gender identity issues, have a huge suicide rate and if they see one positive influence, one positive role model, this can save lives and that’s why Chaz is here.”

Here’s the new portrait of Chaz with his dance partner, Lacey Schwimmer. More portraits are here.

And here’s Chaz and Lacey outside DWTS practice on 8/31/11.
