If photographer/ man-about-town, Douglas Friedman wasn’t such a nice guy, you could easily hate him. He flies private with pal Ally Hilfiger, trolls Martha Stewart‘s tulip garden and he looks like THIS. Architectural Digest‘s Mayer Rus has assigned him shoots for years and asked him a few questions recently, in between flirting. Who can blame him? Here’s an excerpt:

Mayer Rus: Tell me how you got to be you —the Reader’s Digest version.

Douglas Friedman: I got into photography sort of by accident. I had a successful start in the film industry when I got out of college, assisting a well-known director. That was in the mid-1990s. . .

MR: Wait. Are you not going to tell me who the director was?

DF: [groans] It was so long ago, but every time someone writes about me, it’s the first thing they mention. It feels a little gross dropping the name.

MR: I’m just curious. Totally off the record.

DF: David Fincher.

MR: …tell me about some of your most memorable assignments.

DF: It was an unbelievable privilege to shoot the Great House in Mustique, the villa built by Lord Glenconner. The property, the history, I’ll never forget it.

MR: How many homeowners have hit on you?

DF: [laughs] I’m so daft that I don’t recognize when someone is making a pass at me. Maybe that’s why I’m 43 and still single.

MR:…well, you’re very handsome. Did I say very handsome? I meant impossibly handsome, a genuine dreamboat, the catch of a lifetime for one lucky fella. Now that that’s taken care of—I’m a man of my word—tell me what’s the most exciting news in the world of Douglas Friedman.

DF: I’m building a house outside Marfa, Texas. I’m not sure how to describe it, but the place is magical. Maybe it’s the challenge of getting there, the rewards of being there—it has a kind of creative spirit that you don’t really find in New York these days.

MR: Sounds like you’re smitten.

DF: Honestly, it was like falling in love. You don’t expect it, you maybe don’t even want it, but it hits you over the head like a ton of bricks.

MR: Take note, bachelors. He’s funny, articulate, handsome, and the owner of what will surely be a heavenly retreat in Marfa. Come and get it.

That retreat (in process) can be found below and on Friedman’s Instagram, The Fascinator. You can follow him here.

#ExclusivePhotos: Some Thoughts on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 Top Three

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
3top

When RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 contestants were announced in New York City, not that long ago, I went along to the press preview with my friend, photographer Ruben Natal-San Miguel. He shot some amazing portraits and we spent 2+ hours with all the queens. They posed against the Logo/ World of Wonder step and repeat backdrop one by one and then each had their own station to talk to reporters. I didn’t interview each, but Ruben and I had an idea to shoot them on this fab gold background, so I went to each to grab them for literally three minutes to do a quick portrait. (Ruben works fast, the girls know how to pose and I swung a spotlight around and then back into position each time…)

So, here’s the deal. As you know, all of the episodes had been shot at that point and each queen knew they were ALL eliminated except the top three.

(Full disclosure: This is my persona assumption … as I’ve said before, I’ve discussed none of this with anyone at World of Wonder and have ZERO inside info.)

So, back to the press round up… each one has to be on their guard not to let on what happened during filming, i.e., who got eliminated. And all they know is what they filmed, as they hadn’t seen the episodes we’ve all now watched. So, thinking back on how each one acted, I have some observations…

First of all, I DID think that the three New York girls, Bob, Thorgy Thor and Acid Betty, might go all the way. (Thorgy threw everyone off with that fat suit. When each queen saw him for the first time they GAGGED!) They all shot a pic (below) with past winner, fellow NYC gal Bianca Del Rio who was hosting the preview, so THAT might have been a dead give-away that they WEREN’T going to be the final three.

Naomi Smalls had a strong red carpet presence (that got stronger as the season progressed) and she wasn’t shy at all that night. She was the first out to pose, but I got to talk to her the least. Her look wasn’t WOW, but she was strong, But honestly not someone I singled out to be in the top 3. Surprise!

But Kim Chi was MAJOR, probably the best look of the night, besides Bob & Betty. But she was pretty shy and to be honest, I didn’t see the personality we all came to love on this season. I still have trouble envisioning what Kim Chi’s show would be except for strong looks and lip sync but she really deserves to be in the top.

Bob the Drag Queen was on the whole time. The look, the personality, the posing and expressions. I have to say, he was my favorite and still is. No matter what happens tonight, all there of these queens are MADE already. They’ve got a built-in fan base.

(P.S. When they filmed the finalé last week, they shot each one winning, so they all got their moment and no one, but Ru and a small WOWteam knows the outcome.)

So, we shall see what we shall see. Watch Logo tonight at 9PM kids, to see who is crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar!

Get Ready For An Extreme Heartbreak: Jussie Smollett Might Be Leaving Empire

***SPOILER ALERT***

On last week’s Empire, Jussie Smollett‘s beloved character Jamal Lyon (Luscious and Cookie’s gay son who has transformed into a music superstar) was shot and rushed to the hospital—leaving quite the cliffhanger at the end of the episode. Then, Jussie tweeted a note that made it seem that he could be moving on to work on other projects at this time, and that his time with Empire is over.

He also posted this tweet about making sure we appreciate people while we still have them in our lives:

…which is pretty much exactly how I feel about him potentially leaving the show. However, Entertainment Weekly confirms that they have learned he’s still under contract, but reps for Smollett and Fox have not responded to EW’s request for comment.

PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US, JAMAL.

ATTENTION, LAMBS. IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING. Rumors have been swirling about Mariah Carey‘s docu-series, and it seems that someone up above is finally granting us what we all deserve. Mariah is letting us behind the velvet rope with an eight-episode docu-series coming soon to E!

The trailer has finally hit the Internet and it shows Mimi as she prepares for her Sweet Fantasy tour while also planning her wedding to fiancée business mogul James Packer. Though it’s only a minute and a half, the clip is packed with a ton of amazing Mariah moments that you need in your life—like when she explains the rule “that states” how she is never to be seen in fluorescent lighting without wearing large sunglasses.

(Also, I’m especially excited for the new iconic Mariah GIFs that will inevitably be made. This is going to be Internet gold.)

Watch the trailer:

Adrien Brody Defends Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, and Bill Cosby in Tone Deaf New Radio Interview

Screen Shot 2016-05-17 at 11.25.51 AM

#ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmmm: On Jenny McCarthy‘s radio talk show, Adrien Brody was asked about the controversy regarding allegations of child molestation for Woody Allen and Roman Polanski (both of whom he’s worked for). His nonchalant response? “Life is very complicated.”

He went on to say that when he looks to collaborate with people he doesn’t want them to judge him so he wouldn’t do the same. “It’s an artistic pursuit, and Polanski, for instance, had a very complicated and difficult life,” he continued. “It would be unfair of me to delve into something as complicated as the past that was brought up in the media.”

After continuing by saying that sometimes people make mistakes he was asked about his opinion on Bill Cosby and all the women that came forward, and, again, his response was sliiiiiiiightly problematic.

“I don’t even read about these things, to be honest,” he explained. “I choose not to indulge this kind of fodder.Of course it’s horrible what comes out sometimes, and people have done things in their lives that may be inexcusable, but it’s not something to focus on.”

Certainly some red flags all around.

Supercut OTD: Matthew McConaughey Making Weird Noises

Owenergy Studios has put together a comprehensive compilation of Matthew McConaughey making weird noises throughout his acting career. I’m not always fan of McConaughey and his Tourette’s-like vocal tics, but this is pretty mesmerizing. Watch it below. (via The Laughing Squid)

Bonus weird noise video: A bat getting his head and tummy scratched.

A sweet, affectionate and attention-seeking juvenile flying-fox named Jeddah made all sorts of adorable happy noises while sitting blissfully in his caretaker’s arms getting a yummy head scratch. (via The Laughing Squid)

Jeddah was rescued by Megabattie, a really wonderful person who cares for wayward, injured and orphaned bats of all sorts and provides them with a home when they can’t be released into the wild.

This is Jeddah. He loves to be tickled and scratched. Look at that blissful face. I usually clip my videos quite short when it’s all one behaviour being shown, but this bliss went on and on and I just couldn’t bring myself to deprive you of any of the lengthy joy. I particularly loved the yawny and sniffy bits about half way through. And I love the curl of the tongue as he yawns. This bat was not releasable due to injuries. He is in care with a vaccinated and licensed bat carer. He is used to being handled. He actively solicits attention and cuddles. There have been suggestions that this bat is terrified and the squeaks are not cute. This bat is in bliss and is able to get away from the carer at any time. He is choosing to be stroked. He solicits attention.

Get Your First Look At WOW-Produced Love Story “Out of Iraq” With This Trailer

Screen Shot 2016-05-10 at 11.58.42 AM

How far would you go to be with the love of your life? The new World of Wonder-produced documentary Out of Iraq tells the story of two men who found love in war-torn Iraq. See the movie at LA Film Festival (get tickets now) or you can watch on Logo in June.

How far would you go to be with the love of your life? In 2003 in the midst of war, in a country where homosexuality is banned, two Iraqi men meet by chance and fall in love. Nayyef, a translator for the U.S. military, and Btoo, a soldier in the Iraqi army, face persecution—and possibly death—if they stay in their homeland. After obtaining a visa, Nayyef leaves his love behind, settling in Seattle with a determination to one day reunite with Btoo in a place where they can express their love freely and without fear.

Directors Eva Orner and Chris McKim tell the story of this audacious journey of love, sacrifice and courage with a heartwarming and energetic style.

Stop Everything. We Need To Discuss The Game’s New Hair OMG

Superstar rapper The Game (and one of my biggest celebrity crushes tbh) just changed up his hair in basically the best way ever. Let’s just dive in, shall we? There’s no time to waste here as this topic incites some very strong feelings from everyone.

Historically, Game keeps a pretty clean fade… like this:

Or sometimes he’ll cover his hair with a solid-colored fitted hat—which is nothing short of a nice compliment to his athletic fashion sense.

So simple, yet it has an effect like:

Now, however, the bar has been raised. Game has blessed us with the cutest look imaginable on him. Though some other celebrities like Chris Brown and Omarion have recently gotten a similar braided look, I feel very strongly that Game has done it best. (After all, his has a top knot also… LIKE IT’S SO GOOD. TOP THIS, DRAKE.)
