Loss of privacy for the sake of celebrity worship? Yup, that's news now. Just treat it as you would The Zombie Apocalypse: lock yourself in a pub, grab a weapon and go for the head. You'll thank me later.

Did you happen to follow the "was once so sad" link in different colored type? WTF? Did you also happen to read the comment on that other link by the Arab that read as follows:

"I haven't really looked into the medical literature on this, so this is pretty much a stab in the dark, but I think there's a very real possibility that Rhodes' depression might be chemically linked to his removing his body hair.

I mean, we all know that the human endocrine system is incredibly subtle and complex, and if you do something horribly extreme to your body, such as removing the lush God-given hair from your amazingly broad back, huge slab pecs, and massive shoulders, you're likely upsetting some very delicate biochemical balance.

I'm pretty sure that the best endocrinologists would agree with me that Rhodes's depression would resolve immediately were he to receive a series of painstaking hours-long hot oil massages. Especially if he were to receive them after returning from the gym while he was pumped and dripping with sweat.

I'm quite willing to go the distance on this one and volunteer my time to see if this holistic approach would work for Rhodes. Hell, I'll even write it up and submit it for publication to the New England Journal of Medicine. This is the way progress in medical science gets made."


WTF? This is what people think of you? You look just fine shaved. He sounds a little nuts!

Oh well, all I can say is that I feel you James. Take care buddy, and try not to get yourself too depressed. I was there once, but things do get better.

How much did you pay for this James?

JK

Erik Rhodes said...

Pay for it? If i was paying for it the last thing i would be calling myself is a "fashionisto". Jesus that is embarrassing.

my big fat nothing said...

actually it got me wondering, the comment from l.a fireman. what do you look like when you don't shave? i'm not expecting you to suddenly stop and sprout like a hedge but it could provide before & after photos. just think of the comments from some of your readers if you suddenly grew a beard? anywho, hugs and stuff from Auntie Margaret, agony slut to the dispossessed.

iabe said...

There is no mention of you being fucked up in the corner incoherent and what not, so that sounds like news to me.

Alfonzo said...

Hey,

Ugh.....do you have any idea how much I loathe being called "papi." Once some guy called me that I told him, "My name is not Bobby."

Enough about me. I wouldn't call that news, except for that fact that this particular blogger didn't really say anything that really is negative.

On the other hand, I could see why you get sick of people and their shit.

Tylereth said...

I think that it was not news, since all I have time for currently is election news. In fact, I did not even watch whatever you thought was news.

But I do read your blog from time to time, and I must admit, I've started to worry about you.

I've never seen your porn flicks, I'm not attracted to you physically, but you seem to be reaching out.

Maybe I connect with that. Maybe I connect with being a mess and needing friends who are a mess.

But I got some great news today, and I myself am slipping away from a mess.

All the best. Live life.

CWilson5000 said...

Of course it's news. Useless twits have always been news, and they always will be. Today's news, tomorrow news, and -- take note, Mr. Rhodes -- eventually yesterday's news. Save your money.

Erik Rhodes said...

cwilson5000: Ouch, i guess you told me, you fucking raging cunt you! LOL.

But in all honesty, i hope so, jesus i go to bar uptown and somehow thats worth writing about, come on, they could have at least said "even with all the drugs use, he still looked good and was able to stand on his own 2 feet"

Teejay24 said...

The guy said you looked good, until he knew who you were? Whatever. Did you read the comments? there were a lot of positive ones. People like you, dude! Get used to it! :-)

Oscar said...

I don't think its news, to be quite honest I think it's a jealous bitch who couldn't get with you, and they are probably taking it out. I mean come on this shit is gay(for lack of a better word). When I read it I semelled jealous shit; the worst kind. James don't let this bother you, laugh at it. Why should you laugh? Because its a hater venting his sorry ass. The best I can tell you to do is 'laugh at it', because when haters start hating, you know you're doing something right; and they are just trying to get you down.
Just don't even worry about it, and take care.

Hey Erik,
I was having such a crappy day until I checked out this link. I needed a good laugh. I mean the world is falling apart, but you stopping for a warm beer on a cold day is news!
And what about this guy's byline? The Gay Stalker.
Shit. Where was I when they mentioned this job on careers day in school?
His parents must be so fucking proud!
BTW, I'm with Alfonso on this Papi crap. Would somebody please make continued use of this word a felony?
Thank you very much.
AJ

RIOTRIOTRIOT said...

i agree with the article??

i like you more when i dont put 'porn star and asshole in life' next to your name.

besides that, you're really quite cute and meaty. but i dont eat anything injected :\

bmwracer said...

This is what happens when one socializes above 14th street... Truly ridonculous, but what do you expect from Gawker. As long as you were having a good time, that is all that matters.

acane02 said...

I agree with AJ, the term Papi needs to be put to rest.

DTNZ said...

Still doing drugs?

mascdudewriter said...

They can't seem to get off ur dick..

Jeremy said...

Agreed. Papi is one of those words that makes you feel like you've been ear-fucked by a chainsaw. An angry, angry chainsaw.

That being said, what did you expect? It was written by some jealous douchewaffle with a stick up their ass. God save the (bitchy) queen.

acane02 said...

HAHA, "douchewaffle", that is a new one..
