A LEGACY OF DAYTIME CHATTER
I began writing this column in August 1995. Two years later, I moved to L.A., since work necessitated me being in Hollywood more and more. My apartment had a pullout sofa and a television. On my first L.A. morning, ABC launched a new talk show, and throughout my professional journey I have started every day with the ladies of The View. In fact, if you look on either side of ...

CELEB VACAYIn an interview with Details, Matt Bomer revealed that he’s been married since 2011. He and publicist bigwig Simon Halls have been together just over five years and are raising Halls' three sons. (Wouldn’t Matt be perfect for a remake of My Three Sons?)

A TRAGEDY OF SEQUINS
I recently spent some time with legendary designer Bob Mackie, so I just had to ask him about Cher. I had seen photos of her in a really hideous multi-colored catsuit and had to ask if he had designed it. Bob was shocked—how did I not hear about the whole Cher-Mackie breakup? Just before the opening night of the tour, Cher tweeted the following (I’m removing her ‘caps lock’ to spare ...

REUNITING DIVAS, ‘COCK SOCKS’ & TROUBLE IN THE HOUSE OF WEIR
SKATING AROUND THE ISSUE
There’s some troublesome news coming out from Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. I like Gaga and think her heart is in the right place, but what about those around her? This foundation (run by her mom) spent over $1.5 million on legal fees, publicity and internet consultants. That’s not an enormous amount, but the donations for the same time period equaled $2.6 million. So more than half the donations went ...

“The only way this film could be made worse would be to be eaten by a badger while watching it.”
—This lead from a review in London’s The Guardian for A Winter’s Tale (released in the UK as A New York Winter’s Tale). Perhaps the best line from a review of a film ever! Prior to this, my favorite quote was when Rex Reed described the love scene in Titanic as reminding him of a ...

“The movie didn’t do well at the box office, so I should quit? Hold on a second. If I was somebody else, you wouldn’t have said that. I have the number one album this week, and I shouldn’t have released it? Come on, man. You sound like a dickhead.”
—Justin Timberlake responds to criticism regarding the film Runner Runner and his CD, The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2. You know what they say—if you can’t ...

“Lemme tell you, everybody just relax. Everybody is either a w*p,a n****r, a k*ke, a ch**k, a fairy, a m**k. Everybody's something. So why don’t we all calm down? Be thankful that we’re all living in America and stop, everybody, getting so damn uptight. And this goes for the Indians—both dot and feather.”
—Joan Rivers defends Alec Baldwin’s alleged use of an anti-gay slur against a cameraman.

“Don't you know lots of people like that? I do. I've seen those little girlie boys from Thailand—they're quite fabulous."
—Sharon Osbourne tells Arsenio Hall about her experiences with people having both male and female genitalia.
I, Billy Masters, being of relatively sound mind and having body fat in the mid-teens, declare this my last will and testament. Yes, this could very well be the last column you read from me. Not because I want ...
