Well, this past summer was the first that I'd not seen him on Fire Island. Perhaps ever.

His date was Bitsy Von Muffling.

I'll bet it was Sue Simmons. A couple of Remy Martins and she's an insatiable minx.

The whole "gay" thing was just a big misunderstanding. He was listening to the Queen song "We Are The Champions" one day, and he just got a little confused.

I briefly remember seeing him sitting around the piano at the Monster bar singing show tunes.... or were the drinks that strong?

probably was that Olsen hussy. she jumps anything leathery with a bad wig.

I saw him sunning in Central Park. He had his navel tattooed to look like a pussy -- or maybe it was a star.

He's a genius! Nothing makes a gay man look hotter than the possibility that he may have defected to the other side.

@brendastarlet: I hate myself for recognizing that name.

I just remembered!

My friend Jose dated Sam, like four years ago!

I named my dildo Sam Champion. No joke.

if that report is to be credited, it sounds like he's trying very hard to convince us that he's a raging heterosexual.

LOL @PandoraSpocks:

@annoyingfemaleleadvoiceover: and you know what? She was only in three episodes. It's the reruns that have imprinted her in our minds.

I'm scared to find out how he is gonna test the Crisco.

You don't need a woman to know which way the weatherman blows.

@brendastarlet: don't worry, you'll B. Fine.

Hmmm...

I know of a guy who dated Sam Champion. Either he swings both ways or this is a case of mistaken identity.

@rod: OH GOD - I know JOSE!!! How the hell is he?

@rod: Oh yes - and I got all the details of his exploits with Mr. C.

Um, Jose is the guy that I was talking about too. Why do we all know Jose? Jose is a friend of a friend in my case. Maybe Sam has an affinity for men named Jose?

"Sam Champion" was Sam Champion's body double. And the woman was the real Sam Champion in drag.

@kitkatsplash: Maybe you're confusing Hose-A with Hose-B?

And I sincerely hope that Sam Champion is gay because I've held out on thinking Kelly Rippa is a homophob (refer back to the Clay Gaykin incident) because both Champion and Anderson Cooper frequently guest host. At the very least, she likes arian gays who are in the closet.

@PeenScene: That seems to be Sam's problem not mine.

this is too funny. Unless Sam champion on dates men named Jose, we're all talking about the same guy. former gymnast?

@TedSez: Better than Dylan.

@NobodyLikesMe: I'll have to double back to my sourcs Re: gymanast. The Jose who I met, who dated Same, is was about 5 8", thin, with a nipped in waist. I'd certainly buy that he was a former gymnast.

not a former gymnast
my height

@kitkatsplash: He's portuguese, I believe. Very hot. If it is the same guy, I have some interesting dish on him too.

@rod: Rod, darling. I can't see your height. Only your length.

Wasn't Anderson's purported boyfriend also named Jose? iirc?

@rod: Did you used to be known as momo?

are you telling me he is gay? he is so butch when he walks around chelsea with a fur collar and swaying that booty of his...

Well maybe it wasn't Sam? Are Gawker Stawkers infallible? And what about Mike Woods of Fox? Is he just a stud with a large tailoring budget and lots of mirrors or is he aiming for Sam's demographic...

@Arundel: This Jose pronounces his name "joe-ZAY".

@NobodyLikesMe: You don't zay!

@AuntPeniston: wow that's rich!

A good friend used to live across the street from Sam Champion and swore she saw him getting it on w/ his boyfriend in nothing but cowboy boots. Common complaint, apparently.

why hasn't the president of white men in love with black men, mister denton, weighed in sam's lover? jealousy, conspiracy of being in a three-way conspiracy or unaware because he's so busy scaring people away from working at gawker?

What's the expression, "once a philosopher, twice a pervert?"

I don't care if he's gay as long as he keeps his Crisco-smeared hands away from my dry cleaning.

Sounds more like horrendous mistaken identity. Sam sold his house on Fire Island and bought in the Hamptons - East, I think. His African-American boyfriend, Sean, is opening a fancy store in Bridgehampton this summer.
