Can We Just Call Them Gay?
New York magazine hints around at Shepherd Smith's gayness as best it can in a Q&A today with the Fox anchor. What's hanging above his couch? "Nothing, nobody," Smith answers. And the last Broadway show he saw? The magazine's 2005 profile of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper carried some heavy subtext as well. "Cooper couldn’t have looked more put-together in his impeccably modern black suit, crisp pink shirt, and perfectly knotted purple-and-blue tie," it read. A pink shirt! And crisp, no less! Whatever could they be implying? Enough, we say, it's 2008 for God's sakes, a news anchor can be whoever he wants to be. Test your gaydar against ours after the jump as we rate five top news hosts' homosexuality using five video clips and a terribly loose interpretation of the Kinsey Scale. More » -

Has Sam Champion Turned Straight?
Didn't Sam Champion come out as gay? Here's a bizarre sighting of the ABC weatherman with a female date at the Royalton's new restaurant. "Friday January 18th, 9pm 44th and 6th Ave: Sam Champion the weatherman making out with his dining companion at Brasserie 44... AND IT WAS A WOMAN! His 'date' climbed on top of his lap (knocking over the vase on the table) and started sucking face. Drawing audible gasps from the people dining nearby." Not explained: whether they were surprised by Champion's return to the closet; or simply amazed that he would bother with such an implausible public show. (In case there were any doubt, here's a clip of Champion discussing the moisturizing value of Crisco.) More » -

It's Raining (Men)
The date: August 7th
The time: 3:50 p.m.
The place: Eighth Avenue at 26th street
Sighted: "Just saw weather-queen SAM CHAMPION on Eighth Avenue, looking very "refreshed"—so much so that I wasn't sure it was him until I was up close. He was looking at the windows of The Blue porn store as he walked by."

Sam Champion Busts Out
This morning, "Good Morning America" weather hottie Sam Champion provided an incredibly servicey piece on how to escape from a locked car in the event of a bridge collapse, which, remember, is looking ever more likely. It's a rollicking, macho adventure as a safety goggle-wearing Sam shatters the window. The best part is the many, many times Sam tells you to "grab hold of the LifeHammer." It's almost like he's said that in a car before!

Sam Champion Is The Weather Emperor Of Us All
If you have a sexual fantasy involving Good Morning America's weather-boy Sam Champion being fanned and fed grapes by African-American children while reclining on some bizarre blue foam piece of furniture, today is like Christmas, Valentine's Day, and your birthday rolled up into one bizarre little package.

Sam Champion Tosses Salad
Juvenile? Lowbrow? Totally. Whatever, you heard the man, we're hungover today. So watch this clip from "Good Morning America" where some chef has Sam Champion toss his salad. The humor part comes in the fact that Sam is literally mixing vegetables, not sticking his tongue in some guy. It's sort of a double entendre? Okay, more Advil now! -

It's Raining Sam
This morning local ABC meteorologist Bill Evans popped up on "Good Morning America" to pimp his new novel, Category 7. Interviewed by Gawker Hero Sam Champion, Bill revealed that one of the main characters was, in fact, based on the lovable weatherman. We could care less about the weather or hurricanes or whatever—but there's Sam Champion slash fic in hardcover? We are running to the bookstore NOW.
