Sivan has also walked in a few runway shows, and several modeling agencies, including the German company Tomorrow Is Another Day, now specialize in lithe men, lending their sometimes-teenage charges to Prada and Valentino. But there seemed to be safety in his slimness - both for the artist to express himself and for his countless questioning teenage fans. When Sivan, 22, performed on “Saturday Night Live” in January, his shirt was blown open by a wind machine, his whole mien charged with sex. Today, gay twinks such as Olly Alexander of the band Years & Years and Troye Silvan feel less costumed.
But if the godfathers of nonbinary pop - from Freddie Mercury to Adam Lambert - paved the way, their personas often came across as glam-rock caricature. Historically, music’s leading men have been less burdened by stereotypes of masculinity. There are several modern variations: Euro twinks (the boys of BelAmi, a Slovak pornography studio named after the novel by Guy de Maupassant), twunks (a portmanteau with hunk, embodied by modern-day Zac Efron) and femme twinks (like the fabulous American figure skater Adam Rippon). By gay male standards, he’s the ultimate twink.Īlthough the origin of the term has been disputed - some trace its history to “twank,” 1920s British slang for a client of gay male prostitutes, while others insist it’s a vulgar riff on the cream-filled Hostess snack - twinks are young, attractive, hairless, slim men. Chalamet, 22, is five inches shorter, naturally smooth, with a pronounced clavicle and a concave torso. Hammer, 31, is 6-foot-5, with broad shoulders and body hair. This is memorable not because we’re watching two straight actors perform a pas de deux of muted gay desire, but rather because of their difference in size. Sensing Elio’s nervousness, Oliver begins to massage his shoulder. (No, not that one.) It happens near the beginning of Luca Guadagnino’s gay odyssey, when Armie Hammer’s character, Oliver, sweaty from volleyball, pauses to steal a drink from Elio, played by Timothée Chalamet. He was definitely on the cover of some teen magazines back in the 90's.There’s a scene in “Call Me by Your Name” that I can’t get out of my head. Our supermodel was seen making out and groping with some random guy in the corner of a party while her zillionaire boyfriend was nowhere to be seen." ĥ) "This male teen star from a very hit 1990's television comedy is now doing gay porn to make a living. We hope that the husband has really good health insurance as well as the number of a Los Angeles divorce attorney." Ĥ) "This just confirms that this A list supermodel is in fact, an idiot. Imagine her surprise when she found that it was actually a third identical phone that held only one phone number, a revealing photo of the woman he was cheating with, and some raunchy text messages. On the way, she tried to use the phone to call and let him know she was on her way. Thinking that it was the business phone and that her husband would be frantic at work without it that day, she hopped into the car to bring it to him at work. One morning, the wife found a cell phone in their home. One for businesss calls and the other for personal calls. The unapologetic actress simply grabbed the pup and walked away, thus ensuring that she will never appear in one of the director's films." ģ) "This actor's wife, who is an actress herself, thought her husband owned two identical cell phones. Unfortunately, he wound up getting very sick on the very expensive outfit of the very unhappy wife of a very famous director. She passed the dog around to lots of people to snuggle with, most of whom did not know that the dog was not in good health. California criminal defense lawyers must be lining up outside his door anticipating the lucrative stream of income this troublemaker will provide over the next few years." Ģ) "Which young actress should have left her sick dog and bad manners at home? At a recent party attended by Hollywood bigwigs, she brought along her adorable puppy, claiming that she couldn't leave him at home because he was sick. Most of these incidents have not made the headlines.
So far there's been an incident with his car, an insurance fraud investigation, and an accusation of destruction of property at one of the hotels at which he has stayed. Thanks.ġ) "Which young actor is finding it hard to stay out of trouble? This celebrity is young, handsome, and parties too much.
Enjoy them all after the jump, then go get me a mimosa. Today we have a badboy young actor, an actress's vomity dog, a cheatin' hubby, and a teen star turned porn star. At least I have terrible, no good, very bad celebrities to make myself feel better.
The economy stinks, so I have to work on the weekends.
