The Mystery Is Gone, Karl On Curves, And More…

Marc’s Reality, Celebrity Weddings, And More…

Dear Marc, we’re going to strongly advise you against this. We know those Housewives can draw you in with their gripping mini-dramas, but pretty please don’t put yourself in a reality TV show about “high-powered (openly gay) playboys.” Just start twittering, or something, OK?
