Ben Widdicombe Blind Item

Which former male model and calendar favorite's career switch into being a singer doesn't seem to have worked out? He's currently listed on a gay prostitution web site serving Las Vegas.

Tyrese or Markus Shenkenhankenberg-whatever.

I saw a poster of Tyrese being in concert at an Indian casino in the desert and I thought what's he going to do?

MontanaMarriott said...

Can't be Tyrese, he is a working actor, i.e. Tranformers

Sue Ellen Mishkey said...

Advertise for gay sex, apparently.

CDAN Mod said...

timebob said...

his divorce papers revealed he made a million bucks last year. While his wife made 0.0.

He isn't doing blowies in vegas.

did Michael Bergin ever sing?

blog hopper said...

I like the Marcus Shenkenwhatever guess

MnGddess said...

Can't be Tyrese. He's working as an actor. Wonder who it is?

shakey said...

Did Marcus have his own calendar? Ah, according to his website he's in a movie with Timothy Hutton and Mira Sorvino this year.

shakey said...

Anyone ever heard of Quentin Elias?

Not Tyrese. In addition to that shit Micahel Bay film, he has the regular gig on Bravo, "Make me a Supermodel".

Mike said...

Have never heard of Quentin Elias but I don't think he'd be famous enough for this to be a big deal enough for it to get poster here. However, if it is him or if the correct answer looks like him or any of the other beautiful suggestions -- I'd more than gladly do some "research" on this matter if everybody pitched in some money for my "research" fund. ;)

Wrong Black Guy Christopher They Are Not All They Same. Tyson is the one who has the regular gig on Bravo and is a former model NEVER a singer! Tyrese was a Singer/Actor and did some modelig but is very much working not Tyrese. TRANSFORMERS LAST 2! Performed at BET awards 2 segments

"Wrong Black Guy Christopher They Are Not All They Same."

whats that guys name miley cyrus was supporting?? justin something or other.

timebob said...

@Oryx that is a good one! Justin Gaston. He was a contestant on Nashville Star and underwear model.

LA isn't cheap and once the Cyrus money dried up he has to pay the rent somehow.

He always seemed to be gay to me.

timebob said...

P.S. the only defense I can say is a lot of these escort sites uses fake pictures. It might be a bait and switch kind of thing.

My friend used to work the phones at an escort site. They all used fake super hot pixs for bait. When the not as hot as pix girls would be sent out. A lot of the guys would be pissed for not getting what they thought was on the website picture.

Now! said...

I'm no racist, but I'm not a TV watcher and it took me awhile to figure out gossip site mentions of Tyson and Tyrese were referring to two different people. You've got to admit their names are pretty similar.

I had the same problem with Liv Schrieber and Liam Neeson.

Reverend Ramona said...

If you Google "Quentin Elias rentboy" you'll find a posting from 2008 that shows screenshots of the guy's pics used on an escort website. As another poster pointed out, it may just be a case of someone using his photos to promote their own, uh, work.

Maybe if someone can find the site and scan the guy's "reviews," it would tell whether or not the pics and the person match.

Susan said...

It's actually listed in his wikipedia entry.

i had a michael bergen poster when i was 14, haven't seen him since eighth grade [15 years], bet its him

Char said...

There is no way that someone confusing Tyrese with Tyson is a racism thing, or thinking all black guys look the same. That's so over-the-top ridiculous. First of all, their names are extremely similar, and second of all... no, not all black guys look the same, or all white guys or all asian guys for that matter. However, these two DO look very similar:

and given the similarity of their names, it is easy to get them mixed up. In fact, google their names together and you find hundreds of sites commenting on it.

Funny, I always get Liev Schreiber mixed up with someone else too, but not Liam Neeson. And now for the life of me I can't remember who it was.

Three sisters said...

I always ALWAYS get Liev Schriber and Balzathar Getty mixed up. Can never tell them apart.

Anonymous said...

This is Justin Gaston. Miley kicked him to the curb in favor of Nick Jonas, his "singing" career didn't exactly work out, and he's already posed for gay mags.

Anonymous said...

Justin doesn't have a calendar.

If it's Michael Bergin, where do I sign up? Seriously, he was my imaginary boyfriend my first year of undergrad (yay baywatch), I don't think he ever tried singing.

To over-zealous posters, in defense of 'Christopher.'

I have never seen a photo of Tyrese, but the first time I heard his name, I was confused at first whether they meant the model/t.v. host, because I do know his work.

I absolutely HATED the movie "Dead Poet's Society," because it was full of young White men with short dark hair in the same school uniforms, and I couldn't keep track of who was who. It took me a full hour into the film to realize there were actually TWO redheads that I had also thought were the same guy. That's when I gave up.

Unknown said...

@starburst, Liev is the one that can really act well. Balty not so much. Plus that whole stink of Sienna on him...

Interesting BI but I think more C- D listers may do the high end escort thing than we think. That's all Victoria Silvstedt does now, escort work and red carpets. Which I find hilarious.

lol@libby

Diane said...

I'm sorry, I just have to laugh at the idea of school uniforms making people difficult to tell apart. Seriously? Surely their faces, body types, heights, etc., might help out in this endeavor. Because if I was told that I looked indistinguishable from my other peers when I was in grade and high schools, I would be royally pissed.

Ok, off-topic rantlet over. I got nothin' re: the BI, except... hey, gotta pay the bills somehow, you know?
