Celebrity gay bar or bathhouse sightings

Have you ever seen a celebrity at a gay bar, bathhouse, or cruising area?

Any stories?

Kevin Kline checked-in just ahead of me at the WSC once.

Aiden Shaw and Dawson(!) there at various times.

Carrot Top has kinda morphed into a Hot Mess.

But there were a few years just after he had put on some serious muscle when he looked pretty studly naked. I first ran into him in a dark sex club, hair back, baseball cap low, trying to be DL, but I knew right away it was him. We messed around quite a bit. His d*ck is big n thick and he loved suckin bone.

Fast forward a few years and he shows up at another dark sex club in Vegas, still jacked as f*ck, but this time had no qualms being quite the pig on his knees for not only me but another sexy twink boy that showed up. There weren't many in the club that afternoon, but still I was shocked he was that brazen just a couple miles from his show at Luxor.

I also used to see Carrot Top at the gay clubs in Orlando. He'd always have en entourage of twinks fluttering around him.

Was Carrot Top a Carrot Bottom?

I used to talk to Barry Manilow in the back room at Uncle Charlie’s on Third Avenue back in the’70s.

I was walking down a hallway at the 8709 bath house in the 80s when a door opened and the queen in back of me shrieked, "Oh my GOD it's TAB HUNTER!!! The door immediately slammed shut.

Buck would never have visited a bathhouse.

Met Keith Strickland from B-52's at Bourbon Street Pub in Key West. He lives down there part-time. His partner was annoyed. Really handsome and so very sweet.

Spoke with doorman - said that Kenny Chesney used to come in there but he moved out of Key West quickly due to all the fans dropping by his house.

My brother (who is also gay) was doing clean-up after a gay bar close he worked in, and Andy Bell came in and gave him a big kiss on the lips. (Andy was at another bar and heard that my brother was a massive fan - and he really was - so Andy stopped by to meet him). I always thought that was really kind.

Bains de l'Est Genève Rupert Everett a couple times. Richard Branson in real saunas, not gay sauna. But nude, fit and nice cock.

R1 Kevin Kline? I knew him casually many years ago. I heavily doubt your claim.

Not that I think you're lying, I just think you might have mistaken someone who looked like him. (many Kevin Dobson gay rumors were probably attributed to a very gay acquaintance of mine who looked very much like him).

Unless maybe he just wanted to steam and didn't care if it was a gay bathhouse.

i don't think I've even seen any DL posts about him in all these years.

R1 here. I was standing behind him at the glass window. I could see his ID. He turned and looked right at me as he headed right to enter door to the towel area. He was there. I was there.

There was no working steam room at the WSC—lol too funny

And that wasn’t the last time I saw him in the club that day.

Matthew Broderick in the early 2000s, sitting alone at a small piano bar on 9th Ave / 40 something street, in Hells Kitchen. He looked good, and figured he was taken care of himself in preparation for "The Producers", which opened on Broadway around that time. Saw him and SJP 20 years later in the Hamptons, and he looked like a wart hog.

I've written about this before a few times but I saw Kevin Spirtas at a Korean Spa in New York. He was on "Days of Our Lives" for a long time. He may still be for all I know. He's an out actor and he was there with a younger friend. I chatted with him for a bit but didn't let on that I knew who he was. He looked very nice naked...above average length, trimmed pubes, but still plenty visible. (I absolutely loathe fully shaved men.)

Wanda Sykes at a gay bar in Philly

Back in the late 90s when I was a cute young twink a shitfaced and slurring Nathan Lane tried to pick me up at the old Works bar on the UWS. I politely declined. He was so wasted and so gross.

Maybe Kevin Kline was doing research for "In and Out."

R21 - I remember your posts about that encouter. He was a bit of a nasty drunk, wasn't he?

by Anonymousreply 25May 23, 2025 3:05 PM

Paul Lynde had a hustler/boyfriend named Pablo who was gorgeous and sweet. They were together for a while. I used to see them dancing at the old Limelight (not the church) long ago. Pablo and I became fwb and he would complain about how nasty Lynde would get when he drank, which was all the time.

R21- I went to the Works on the Upper West Side back in the late to mid 1990's when I lived in NYC. That bar back then had a high percentage of good looking- pretty boys, preppie guys and yuppie guys. I was cruised by many of them but went home with none of them because I was too shy to talk to anyone.

by Anonymousreply 27May 23, 2025 4:21 PM

Lynde was an ex fatty, maybe that's why he was so snarky?

"Lynde suffered from weight problems, weighing 250 lb (110 kg) when he graduated from high school. He was honored by Weight Watchers in 1977."

Kevin Kline was on the down low?

And in the West Side Club????

I do believe Dawson.

WSC was so nasty, I wonder whether those who occupy that space now on in the 10th floor know what was going on ...

R15 here again. I also have a Nathan Lane sighting.

Again, in the early 2000s at the iconic "Rose's Turn" - piano bar/cabaret on Grove Street, W. Village.

Quiet night. I walked downstairs to get a drink and noticed a guy with his head on the bar, arms sprawled out, and next to him, a backpack overflowing with scripts, sheet music, etc. I sat two seats away from him, looked at the bartender, and we silently chuckled. Guy awakes, and I see it's Lane. Wasted. Mumbling nonsense, swerving, loud.... a complete mess. I'm certain he was also in rehearsal for The Producers. I said hello, to no avail. Nothing registered. Sadly, Rose's Turn closed in 2007. Ironically, that was the time La Lupone was on Broadway in Gypsy doing her own Rose's Turn.

Back in 2003 I remember seeing Cynthia Nixon going private room to private room looking for signatures against the Iraq War,

People were shouting "Fuck off Miranda, we want Samantha!"

R31. Why the 10th floor?

The club was on the 2nd floor.

Dick Van Patten cruising me at an adult book store in Las Vegas. 8 would not have been enough.

by Anonymousreply 37May 23, 2025 4:38 PM

r25 I only chatted with him briefly but he wasn't nasty, he was polite enough and he was so shitfaced he was slurring and glassy eyed. He was clearly interested in me but there was no way, even if he'd been sober. He was just gross. This was at the bar, I turned and went back to my friends elsewhere in the room.

by Anonymousreply 38May 23, 2025 4:39 PM

WSC was definitely not on the second floor. You had to take an elevator up. I was the 10th floor if I remember correctly but it was on W20 street, so maybe I am mixing things up.

r27 you should've been more outgoing, there were lots of cute guys at the Works back then. I had lots of good times there.

R39 you’re just plain wrong. Stop! It was on the 2nd floor. You had to walk up—the elevator did not stop at the club.

R12 here, lol.

Knowing what I think I know, I still find it hard to believe. (I also remember him being a bit of a pussy hound, and those usually don't mix).

But R1 seems pretty certain so I will not doubt his claim.
