Has Sam Champion Turned Straight?

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.

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

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?

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.

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...

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.

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?

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

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

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.
