"Heather's other partner, a blonde with freckled ivory skin with whom she had some common friends, works under the name Kelly. After graduating from an Ivy League college in 2006, Kelly says she was thinking about going to grad school to become an English professor. She's decided to put that aspiration on hold, though, while she rakes in the equivalent of an investment banker's salary selling sex."Read more about the hipster hookers here.
Twenty-one-year-old Jeffery Self has the kind of narcissistic drive that makes people famous for being themselves. He’s charming, witty and willing to spill intimate details of his life. Self is most well-known has half of the VGL (Very Good Looking) Boys. Along with his counterpart Cole Escola, the duo's kitschy videos have made thousands of YouTubers LOL by poking fun at everything from the recession to Bernadette Peters (they currently have a development deal with LOGO). This week he performs his "all-true" one-man show, People I Slept With Who Never Called Me Back Feb. 7 at Ars Nova.
I caught up with Self just before he left to perform on an Atlantis Cruise to find out how the Internet helped him gain notoriety and the consequences of airing his dirty dating laundry in public.

The new (and worst) character to lurk around the set of Gossip Girl, Aaron Rose, Serena’s artsy and mysteriously older boyfriend, is based on real New York artist Aaron Rose, and he’s pretty bummed about it.
Rose, 39, is the founder of the Alleged Gallery on Ludlow Street; it opened in 1992 and helped to establish a handful of rising talents. "It's funny and it's flattering, but there's a part of me that's like, 'Oh, go after them—this is not cool. They're messing with my reputation,'" says Rose.

We don't usually pay much attention to Mad Magazine, but when we saw their cover for their "20 Dumbest People, Events and Things" featured a version of Heath Ledger's Joker, we had to laugh. Although Ledger himself doesn't make the list (the complete 20 can be seen after the jump), accidentally killing yourself when you are about to star in one of the biggest movies in history should certainly get you ranked as one of the dumbest people. But in a year with so many other dumb dumb details, I guess he didn't make the cut. He nearly made it on our first "Naughty & Nice List" but again, not quite.

A little gay bird told us that HX, the little gay rag that has been pumping up go-go boys and queer parties since 1991, was folding. That's not exactly true. Turns out that it's being sold. When we contacted owner/founder Matthew Bank, he sent us this release:
"HX Magazine and the web site hx.com have been sold. The new owners of HX Magazine will be releasing details and information on their plans for the future of the title shortly. In the meantime, Bank and HX Magazine Publisher Gary Lacinski will be assisting them in the transition. HX Magazine issue 931 dated July 10th, which will be released on July 3rd, will be the last one produced by HX Media and its staff.

George Carlin famously explained that "Their stuff is shit, and your shit is stuff." When you're Michael Jackson, the shit you have lying around the house is worth a couple thousand a piece. Pounds sterling of course, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Ah yes, art and the Web…
The National Arts Club clearly believes they go together as last night, Internet video star Caitlin Hill became the first online performer to win the NAC’s Medal of Honor, the Club’s most prestigious award.
At 17, the former Blockbuster employee and self proclaimed dork was feeling a little lonely, had something to say and decided to voice a few insights through YouTube under her online name “thehill88”. Three years later her online videos (which chronicle her Valentine’s Day crushes, impressions and instructionals) had over 20 million views and she’d established a subscriber base of over 70,000.

The idea seems so obvious: If folks like seeing queeny fashion wannabes duke it out on Project Runway, and they LOVE to see vapid models bitch it up on America's Next Top Model, why not combine the two? The folks at LOGO have done it with RuPaul's Drag Race. Nine drag queens—including androgynous Nina Flowers, showgirl Shannel and fat (and Southern) Victoria Parker—show up in drag and then the nails come out.

Is Assembly Member Hakeem Jeffries the sexiest guy in NYC politics? City Hall news has unveiled its list of the 30 Most Beautiful People in New York City Politics, and we think Jeffries has the most confidence and sex appeal of the entire bunch.
We'd like to think that to make it in the cut-throat world of politics, that brains and contacts are enough. But anyone who knows the ins and outs of policymaking, also knows you that beauty can help make the final decision on Election Day. So we analyzed the “red carpet” interviews of those on the list to see what helps them make it in the competitive circle at City Hall. And we wonder what sort of politicking went on to make the list, cuz there seems to be some serious oversights. Like, where is cutie Council Member Jessica Lappin?
