Jake Shears

He's talented, and he was once really hot. He was a bit of a poseur, though.

A friend of mine hung out with him a while. He was there when Jake (whom he called Jason) met Michael Stipe. They played a game where they took turns randomly pulling up contacts from their phone until they found someone who wasn’t famous or the assistant to someone famous

Have you actually seen him in Cabaret, OP? I just did last week and he was phenomenal and essentially stole the show.

Very uninformed, pedestrian, and dumb post.

I saw him support Duran Duran earlier this year and he was superb and his latest album has some real bangers on it.

No idea what he is like in person but he is a friend of a guy I used to be quite friendly with and always seems to be a pretty fun guy.

I bet he is utterly filthy (and gorgeous) in bed.

Yeah you can tell op is ignorant about her subject

Sorry not sorry. I asked questions and didn't make statements, and said nothing about the quality of his performance. Unclench.

R4, can you post one of the songs you like?

He’s like gayest of the gays

I like their cover of "Comfortably Numb" that got them on the map, but "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" was a bigger hit for them.

Is he hung?

Hé was a male whore

That makes them both sound disagreeably insecure.

Stipe was always a petty cunt like that.

He and Natalie Merchant used to pull shit like that and fuck with people. I've heard their antics described as very Dangerous Liasions/Cruel Intentions.

Yea I like "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" a lot. There used to be a video on You Tube that had some great black curtain effects while they did the song......but I guess it's not there anymore.

This one is still okay.

He did say I'm an interview he would say he's sorry to the band and that he was a huge asshole.

That's it! I remember reading that, and his press placements have landed as a bit rehabilitative to me. I'm more fascinated than pointing fingers here. The music business can really make people turn cunty in order to survive, the Scissors rose in a very different time about 20 years ago, and I wanted to see if there was more backstory.

Jake was a denizen of an Equinox steam room where I used to work out. This was 15 years ago, and he looked good.

His BFF is Kelly Ripa.

Sliding my tongue into his aoft, silky asshole was like sliding it into a can of frosting. And the amount of delight with which he squealed was most gratifying. We took such pleasure in exploring each other’s boundaries that whole weekend.

r19 is Sean Storm

He's a big star in the UK and obscure here. Americans hate gay singers. At least openly gay ones

Americans hate anything in music other than white men.

He is a white man.

He has a nice knob in that nude pic

He looks uncut in r24?

He’s definitely cut.

He’s a great reader and posts a lot about books on IG.

Insufferable fag.

The obsession with cut vs uncut is just insane. Is it the same poster doing this across all the threads on guys?

Being boring bump

R29 - it’s definitely not the same person. I can assure you.

He’s the gay version of Adam Lavigne.

Levine

I think he's very attractive and I love his music. However, he's good friends with Anderson Cooper, which is enough reason to keep your distance.

He got snippy with a friend of mine who was rather aggressively stalking/fanning out over him and told him to back off but my friend WAS being obnoxious about his lust and deserved it.

He died a couple years later. I don't blame Jake.

I saw him on WWHL last month, and he looked great and seemed really charming. He hinted that there might be a Scissor Sisters reunion, but then I read that Anna Matronic declined Jake's invitation to join the rest of the group, so I wonder if there's some acrimony between the two of them.

She blamed it on her busy schedule:

[quote] I am currently finishing production on the first season of my history podcast Good Time Sallies, which has grown into several long-term research and writing projects. With contracts signed and schedules agreed on these commitments, the timing of a Scissor reunion does not allow me to join my former bandmates for this tour. I wish the band and our fans all the best… I will be there in spirit to kiki with you!

I dunno, but I can't imagine she'd make more money and get more recognition from a podcast than from touring with Scissor Sisters.

He chatted up a friend of mine at this bar Grand Army one afternoon. He was with Susan Sarandon (cunt!) and John Cameron Mitchell. I was surprised at how friendly he was. Sarandon (cunt!) looked very uncomfortable.

R18 Kelly seems to be the official BFF of every famous gay man.

Except me!

R22 You seem rather stupid.

Sorry, I have to record my podcast is the new sorry, I have to wash my hair.

JS songs I’ve been listening to this week:

- Too Much Music (remix) - 8 Ball - Do the Television - Really Big Deal - Diamonds Don’t Burn

Tight ass

He has a great voice

And apparently a tight ass, r44.

I know what I posted, R33.

He’s the human version of Adam Levine and I find him adorable.

I would like to point out that the band only does well in the US during sadistic Republican regimes.

Diamonds Don’t Burn

He was terrific in “Cabaret.”

I can see that he is attractive and talented but I am not attracted to him nor do I like his output after the first two years.

When Jake met Dolly.

If I remember correctly this story goes he wanted to meet her and they couldn't coordinate time so she had 2 minutes in between some interviews and rushed him in and this was their meeting.
