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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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

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.

Not a sighting, but a fun story to share -

Years ago (early 2000s), when I went to NYC regularly on business, I would hire this same escort through an agency to come to my hotel. Incredibly sexy Haitian guy, handsome, friendly and oh, so much fun ! I'd book for 90 minutes.

One day, at the end of my appointment, we were lying on the bed naked relaxed and talking - he had no other appointments assigned to him for the afternoon (I was a late morning appointment) and I invited him to go to lunch with me that day. He was thrilled and accepted. He told me if his agency called, he was not going to take any appointments for the next few hours so we could have a relaxing summer lunch. However, he gets a call from the agency and he responds, "Who's requesting me ? Yes, yes, I'll take it. Where is he ? Tell him I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Thanks!"

He hurriedly got dressed, and apologized with his change of plans - he had to accept because this guy was an 'easy bottom' and tipped the agency rate (which was $200 at the time, the escort kept half - so he would walk away with $300 for less than an hour's work. Then he said, 'Can you keep a secret ? Want to know who it is ?" Then tells me it was Matthew B.

He was staying at the hotel across the street (he never had escorts go to his home), has booked with this escort ('Eugene') many times before, and does the same routine - performs oral on Eugene to get him hard, then lays on the bed ass up, so Eugene can fuck him. Then they'd hit the shower together and soap each other up while he jerked off MB. (Eugene had dreads in a pony tail - MB would ask him to undo the pony tail as he liked the dreads loose and long. ) Done in 45 minutes or less.

By 2005/06 the agency closed and everything turned to independent escorts on 'Backpage', etc. I never found an ad for him, so not sure if he quit the business. He'd be in his 50s now - I'd love to meet up with him.

R77 WTF are you talking about out of your ass today ?

There were agencies back then listed in the Yellow Pages (found in every hotel). I used to book via 'Manhattan Guys' who served up the best guys around (many were students or trying to break out into acting and didn't want to be a waiter or bartender). This was before Backpage, Rentmen, Rentboys, etc. took off on the internet. The agency would charge (on average) $200 and split it with the guy. 20+ years later, the average rate is double that in Manhattan (though some still charge $300-$350), no more agencies, and the escort pockets the whole thing.

R83 I don't know if he personally chose it, if it was his birth name, or if the agency gave it to him when he was hired - but that was the name he went by. What difference does it make ? (I didn't hire him for his name).

Michael McDonald from MadTV at the Midnight Sun in SF back during the height of his fame. He breezed in with an entourage and acted very aloof. Also saw Ross Matthews there last year during Pride. Super friendly and very gracious to everyone who said "hi" to him.

Also at the Midnight Sun, Charles Busch tried to pick me up once around 2003-2004. That was back when the Sun was THE place to go in the Castro. It was wall-to-wall people there and they used to play music videos interspersed with comedy videos and film clips. They were playing a clip from "Die, Mommie, Die," and this guy who looked like he had recently had plastic surgery that was still settling started chatting me up. He asked me if they showed clips from that movie a lot, and I said I didn't know. He kept moving close to me and "accidentally" rubbing up against me, apologizing and saying, "Oh, it's so crowded in here. I don't mean to keep rubbing up against you." He was kind of creeping me out, so I left. It wasn't until I was halfway home that I realized it was Charles Busch.

Not exactly on point, but a good story. In the 1970s my Ivy League university had a pretty notorious steam room in the men's locker room. I recognized a deeply closeted (and anti-gay) state senator there several times, furtively looking around. (He wasn't hot or I would have hit it.) Finally one day I said, hi Senator, how are you today?

Never saw that old queen again.

[quote]R152 I’m so jealous of those who got cruised by Nathan. I wanted him so badly and he just wasn’t interested.

Nathan Lane drunkenly kissed me on the street one night in the late 80s and invited me to his place. We had left a party at the same time and went for another drink together.

I was torn because he’s very funny of course and all stars (he had kind of broken through with The Lisbon Traviata) are magnetic. At least to me. I was divided while kissing him, because I was always wanting a more famous person to validate me, somehow, and maybe usher me up into a more elevated life… and yet while he was a good, driven kisser, I also wasn’t truly turned on by him, physically. The same thing had happened with Christoper Durang - I loved loved loved talking with him and he made me laugh and I admired his work so much, but when the chips were down and he invited me to his hotel I just wasn’t aroused by picturing him in bed.

So, C List Actor (music swells) I wish I could have given you MY brief place in Mr. Lane’s arms that night, under the stars. For you would have been kinder to him than I. You would have grabbed his tough little ears with sincerity, I am sure of it, and wrestled him to the pavement, to roll, roll, roll together right into some nice, soft shrubbery. Or maybe the park. And maybe today you two would still be together.

That is how I shall think of you.

“Definitely Ben Gazzara. My partner (name redacted) told me that. He had this friend whose name I can’t remember- an artist who made extra cash by being a chauffeur to the rich and famous. This guy (African American) had a sexual relationship with James Dean when Dean was in NYC studying acting with Lee Strasberg- he told (my partner) that JD was uncut and not particularly clean “down there.” He also said that he drove the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson around when they were in NYC- apparently the Duke wore face powder and Mrs. Simpson referred to him as “the old cocksucker.” “

It's been said a million times that Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel were found fucking at a bathhouse in Chicago.

Sensational story but untrue. There was a tall black guy who did go there a lot in the early-mid 2000's (a few years before Obama's campaign) and he sorta kinda vaguely could be mistaken for Obama....but I saw him a few times at a nearby ABS and think he looked more like a tall Bryant Gumbel or that dude they found who was panhandling on the road but had been a radio personality and had an amazing voice.

Also, the supposed bathhouse (Man's Country) was truly foul. Beyond description.
