Jim McGreevey Can't Come to Your Birthday Party :(
Do you remember Corey Johnson? He was the kid who was the co-captain of his high school football team, and maybe "the first high school athlete in the nation to declare his homosexuality so publicly while still enjoying the support of his teammates, parents and coaches," back in 2000. It's his birthday! He invited all his Facebook friends! One person, though, can't make it. Former New Jersey Governor and Gay American Jim McGreevey. He has a totally valid excuse! More »

Jim McGreevey's Puppies!
A tipster—who insists in no uncertain terms that he is not "friends" with the former governor of New Jersey and noted Gay American—forwards us this adorable image of Jim McGreevey's brand-new puppies. Sooo cute! Unfortunately, Dina Matos will sell them all to a puppy fur-obsessed heiress and use the money to buy more helicopters. [Facebook] -

Male Escort, Homeless Guy Now Defining Governor Sex Discussion
If it sometimes seems like every American will be talking constantly and forever about politicians whoring and cheating and having threesomes, until, within our sad lifetimes, the political fabric of the nation turns to ashes and our economy is paralyzed and society burned to the ground, it's because that is probably what is going to happen. In the meantime, let's all read and think about these important sexual issues some more. Here is what everyone is saying about governors having sex with people other than their wives: More »

How Threesomes Started, Ended for New Jersey Guv
The New York Post dug into the alleged threesomes involving former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, his wife and their male driver and found, not surprisingly, that gay guv was more into the three-ways than his wife. He enjoyed them so much, in fact, that he invited the driver on a romantic getaway where McGreevey planned to propose to his then-girlfriend. (The girlfriend, who later married McGreevey, got really pissed and disinvited the driver.) The driver now has a girlfriend "of several years" and has not disclosed any contact between himself and the governor during the threesomes. But it appears the governor was not left out of the action. The driver told the Post: "He liked watching me, and she would watch me while she was [performing sex acts] with Jim." The whole thing started one fateful night, when McGreevey was mayor of Woodbridge, NJ, and the tale is maybe vaguely hot, at least by New Jersey standards: More » -

Threesome With New Jersey Guv Out-Trashes Spitzer Scandal
New Jersey WILL NOT be out-trashed by New York, so a former driver has announced that not only did ex-Garden State Gov. Jim McGreevey have a gay lover, but also the governor's wife joined in on three-ways with the driver on many Friday nights from 1999 to 2001. The encounters would usually start with dinner at TGI Friday's — classy! — followed by sex between the driver and the wife at McGreevey's condo. They were known to all involved as "Friday Night Specials." From the Star-Ledger's story: "[Driver Theodore] Pedersen did not say if he was gay or bisexual and only described having contact with [Dina] Matos McGreevey during the trysts. He also said he never knew for sure if McGreevey was gay." McGreevey did not marry his wife until 2000, so the aide is saying the three-ways belie her claim to have been duped about her husband's sexuality. (Also, McGreevey was not elected governor until 2001, so the driver may not have been a driver at the time of the three-ways.) The aide's allegations are coming as Jim and Dina Matos McGreevey are battling over custody of their daughter. After the jump, video of Dina Matos McGreevey lending moral support to the wife of very-soon-to-be-former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, whose own cheating now seems just a little bit more tame. More »

All Apologizing Governors Look The Same
Eliot and Silda Spitzer apparently took fashion notes during the sex scandal of New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey: "If you own an American flag pin wear it to prove you’re still patriotic... Your wife should wear any sort of soft blue lady power suit... Nothing says I’ll stand by you more than a pearl necklace." [Blakeley on Boinkology] -
they hate their kids
"Pony rides and face painting don't make for a good parent," Dina Matmos McGreevey emailed to former Jersey love guv and gay seminarian Jim McGreevey last week, demanding that he cancel this coming weekend's 6th birthday party for their daughter because she has custody that week. Do you know what happens to kids whose parents use them as tools of petty revenge? That's right: Tiny Courtney Loves. [NYP] -

daytime tv
Former New Jersey first lady Dina Matos McGreevey was just on It's Your Call With Lynn Doyle on the Comcast network, and we learned a lot about gay Americans. Like: you're probably married to one right now! According to some graphic they showed, "there are an estimated 2 million marriages where one spouse is gay." There wasn't really a source for that number so we'll assume Lynn and Dina just gave their best guess. Also there was an insane return from commercial where they showed the USS New Jersey and Lynn said "it is appropriately lit in pink, for breast cancer awareness, and also appropriate because of our guest." Because an estimated 2 million husbands across the country are secretly captaining huge pink battleships, sailing through the strait of betrayal and torpedoing the Good Ship Family. -

Jared Kushner Gets The Trump Seal Of Approval!
On the Howard Stern show yesterday, Donald Trump noted that, according to a listener, his daughter "Ivanka was dating a 'very rich guy—not as rich as me, but a very rich guy' from a 'real estate family.'" Translation: That is basically a blessing from the goyim for New York Observer publisher Jared Kushner! ("Rich"="good.") Anyway, that's exactly the kind of Trumpism that we imagine gets the hackles up on Jared's daddy, New Jersey kingpin (and good pal of gay American Jim McGreevey) Charles Kushner. But hey, the real estate union of Jersey Jared and Manhattan Ivanka is good for everyone for now—just like an arranged marriage between little empires! Though we still don't think it's remotely possible that Jared will ever marry the shiksa. Prove us wrong, you adorable lovebirds! We want to believe.

Jim McGreevey Checks Into Jesus's Little Image Rehab
We never thought this great day would come! But yesterday was the first day of school at Chelsea's General Theological Seminary for former New Jersey gov Jim McGreevey. Says the NYDN: "He avoided press outside the college, but spoke to the Daily News briefly. 'I'm trying to be respectful of the seminary and their culture. They're really low key,' he said." Heh. It's like you can see him whispering from the bushes. And just like that, no one will ever think of McGreevey as a self-serving closeted adulterous opportunistic scheming sloppy hack bridge and tunnel mess ever again!

Dina McGreevey Wants A Faaaaabulous Jury Trial
Gay gov idiot turned seminarian Jim McGreevey has filed court papers that seem to be the faggiest escapade to hit New Jersey since Vito Spatafore first put on a leather harness. The Post does a particularly dreamy and lispy job with it:Dina Matos McGreevey's tell-all memoir about her marriage to the Garden State's "Love Gov" sank like a stone because she's a fashion disaster who can't string together a sentence, the gay ex-governor claims.
Okay girl? Anyway. Dina Maaaatmos wants her trial. She will have her day in court! She is choosing cute outfits for it right now and practicing her sweeping arm gestures! She's all, "Eviiita! Eviiita!" Of course so is Jim. More »

Divine Intervention
The Post finally gives the wood to this week's revelation that Jim McGreevey (former New Jersey governor, Gay American, etc.) plans to become an Episcopal priest. (The news gives the paper an opportunity to summarize the recent conflict in the Anglican faith over the ordination of gays. It may be the most informative article the Post has ever provided its readership.) In any event, while we applaud the paper's vague restraint in its choice of headline, we think an event this joyous calls for a little more pizzazz. More »

Jim McGreevey Really Is Off To Priest School
As we told you Monday, Jim McGreevey actually is headed toward the seminary and a life of study and hot Episcopal devotion. Today's Star-Ledger comes in late and claims that he hasn't officially been accepted into the General Theological Seminary in West Chelsea—but we think that they're wrong and he has. Previous rumors that McGreevey was being sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, however, are false. In fact, we hear they wanted nothing to do with him. That's weird! More »

Jim McGreevey: Gay Seminarian
We hear that former New Jersey gov Jim McGreevey has a new career planned—and that he'll enter the General Theological Seminary in Manhattan next year. (We know—this is the second-craziest rumor we've heard this week! Please tell us we're wrong?) A religious-type person says that the Episcopal Diocese of Newark will sponsor his training for the priesthood. McGreevey, a former altar boy and a graduate of the Catholic University of America, broke with the Catholic church circa 2005; his daughter is being raised a Catholic. What all this means for his very nice boyfriend, or for his Jewish-institution-funding pal Charles Kushner (sponsor of Golan Cipel's work visa!), we're just not sure. -

McGreevey Beard Gets Jimbo Banned From Sleeping With Daughter, Lover At Same Time
Remember that epochal Times story a few weeks back about how kids share beds with parents now, till toddlerhood and puberty and beyond? Well, Karen Cassidy, the New Jersey judge handling the Jim McGreevey custody proceedings, laid down the law yesterday: You gays can have the right to get civil unioned and not to be bludgeoned or whatever, but you'll NEVER get to replicate trend pieces meant for the heteroworld! From the Daily News:Matos McGreevey had her request for sole custody denied, and failed to stop the court from appointing a mediator to oversee Jacqueline's relationship with her parents, which McGreevey had asked for.

OMG, Dina McGreevey Knew Jim Was A Gay!
The Post has such the exclusive scoop! Dina McGreevey totally knew that her almost ex-husband, former NJ governor Jim, liked other dudes even before the citizens of New Jersey learned about it via his famous "gay American" speech. (So apparently she's not a total idiot!) In his memoir The Confession, Jim implied that Dina didn't suspect his gayosity until 2002, when he says she asked him about the nature of his relationship with now-estranged aide Golan Cipel. But the Post's mysterious source maintains that Dina knew even before then: "As far as I know, she never really confronted anyone about it, she just kinda let it slide." [Ed. Note: That's what he said.] But why? We suppose we'll just have to hotly anticipate Dina's memoir—"due out May 1st," the Post helpfully reminds us—even more hotly. More »

Dina McGreevey Isn't Getting Any, Just FYI
The custody battle between New Jersey's gay ex-governor and his straight almost-ex-wife continues to rage, just as her counter-memoir Silent Partner is being published. Random coincidence! Anyway, the latest bone of contention is whether the McGreeveys' daughter Jacqueline, 5, ought to be sharing a bed with Jim and his boyfriend (pictured). "It is one thing for children to sleep with a parent or parents. It is quite another for children to sleep with a parent and a third party...This situation is very different from our child getting in bed with me—there is never anyone else, male or female, in my bed," Dina said in a written response to Jim's divorce filing. Does that mean there won't be as many steamy lovemaking scenes in Silent Partner as there were in The Confession? Never mind then! More »

Jim McGreevey Helps Ex Promote Her Memoir
Dina Matmos McGreevey's answer to her estranged husband Jim's Confession —remember, our twelve hundred "whispering, masculine kind of love" jokes?—comes out May 1st. How convenient, then, that the Post is reporting today about Jim's ramped-up custody demands and accusations of homophobia! Jim also doesn't want Dina using their daughter Jacqueline as a prop on her book tour: in a motion he filed, he takes issue with Jacqueline's visits to the set of GMA and to Kelly Ripa's dressing room. He also "groused about artwork in their home, demanding that one nude photograph be removed." Um, do he and Dina have some sort of nefarious deal in place? Something along the lines of "you stand there looking supportive while I come out of the closet, and in a while I'll help you sell your book." More »

A Whispering, Masculine, Passionate Waste of Taxpayers' Money
That image to the right isn't a brilliant bit of photoshopping — it's the $25,000 (paid out of "gubernatorial transition funds") portrait of scandal-plagued former NJ governor Jim McGreevey that he commissioned — and then, after leaving office, sat for. "It represents a final obligation," said the noted Gay American yesterday at the portrait's unveiling, adding that it helped close a chapter of his life. We can only hope that that chapter will be detailed in a sequel to The Confession. We'd hope Jim would be able to work something about being "well-hung" in there somewhere. More »

Golan Cipel: A Little Bit Gay After All?
Of the purported victim of Jim McGreevey's harassment, a tipster writes:Golan Cipel is such a liar. To say he is not gay is such a lie. Ok, well maybe he isn't gay but he is surely, "a little bit gay". Ask anyone who worked out at the Reebok Sports Club on Amsterdam, where he frequented the locker room quite often and gave me "the eye" on several occasions and followed me from steamroom to shower to jacuzzi to shower often. No, I never did anything with him, but I know when a creepy, older guy is trying to come on to me and trust me, he was. So it sickens me every time I see him on TV acting like he can't understand why anyone thinks he's gay. Please, he even has a 80's porn star permanent tan line.
Yeah, we weren't totally convinced until that last line either. More » -

Golan Cipel Interview: No Masculine Kind of Love for McGreevey?
In an interview that aired last night on WCBS2, Golan Cipel (whose hotness was famously the downfall of everyone's fave Gay American, ex- NJ Gov. Jim McGreevey), refutes McGreevey's claim that the two shared an "immediate and intense and apparently reciprocated" attraction. According to Cipel, none of the softly lit, delicately scented, rapturous lovemaking that was like two souls being knit into one by the crochet hook of true, true love, uh, happened. Like, at all. In fact, he says he was sexually harassed. We find ourselves not caring so so much about who is right or wrong here and who is just trying to make a buck here. We just like comparing and contrasting the two accounts of that first encounter.Again he pushed me on the chest back into the bedroom. I was in shock and I fell. And there was just this crazy look in his eyes. Didn't care. Tried to struggle with me. Tried to kiss me. I just remember holding my head and saying, "No. Stop." Fighting with him. And I moved to the other side of the bed here. And he was there where you stand. And I wanted to get out. But he's close to the door. I just remember wanting to ask him so many questions, but wanting to leave as fast as possible. And he said don't ever repeat this to anybody. Then I asked him, "Why did you think I was gay?" And he said, "Everybody's a little bit gay."
Ok, but was he whispering? More » -

Jim McGreevey Now New Jersey's Go-To Gay
It's probably just the five-year-old in us, but we can't help finding "back story" and "push hard" in the context of the New Jersey gay marriage story incredibly hilarious. In any event, as part of its coverage of yesterday's Supreme Court decision, the Times has the inevitable "but would Gay American Jim McGreevey get married?" piece. The former governor says that he would, and offers some thoughtful discussion about what the ruling will mean for young people. He also apologizes for opposing same-sex marriage while he was in office, saying "I only wish I had had the fortitude to embrace this basic right when I was governor." More » -

Former Governor Hoping Writing More Lucrative Than Shady Deals With Real Estate Developers
This afternoon gay American - and former New Jersey governor - Jim McGreevey will be in Chicago taping an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." McGreevey is promoting his forthcoming memoir, The Confession, which "traces his life through two failed marriages, his rise to the governor's office," and the eventual admission of homosexuality which ended his career. No word yet on how hard-hitting the interview is going to be (although he'd better be sure everything in the book is true unless he wants Oprah up his ass) but we're hearing that each member of the audience will receive a subscription to The New York Observer and a job with the New Jersey Department of Homeland Security.
