      hey perez…just a note from down under.
      It's Anthony CALLEA and he was "outed" earlier this year by a Sydney radio stations traffic reporter. Was a big scandal at the time…because NO_ONE had ANY idea Callea was gay….hmm… Jess

      You obviously want to bone this buddy boy P. No-one but no-one lilving down under here gives a flying fuckerliota what this dude is doing with his day. Take your gay head out of your gay bum and THINK - what do the MASSES want (hint mo fo - not yr bad gay fantasties). Also quit with the self promo. It will be yr downfall. I'm not interested in helping give u a bum up to be a celebrity Perez. As little talent as these people (lilo, Paris) have…most have some kind of birth right or are under 200 pounds to warrent any time in the celeb sun

      No, Callea is not hot in my opinion. Yes, everyone knew he was gay before he was 'outed' - it's pretty obvious. Perez, if you want some more pics of this dude, my bf was a photographer at the Arias and got several shots of him … looking really… 'dreamy'.

      *shudder*

      HELLO GAY WETDREAM. mmm. he's delicious.

    23. The James says – reply to this


      23

      I would say closer to nightmare-ish instead of dreamy. He looks kinda like a "little person" actually.

    24. Hate Callea! says – reply to this


      24

      He's like a garden gnome. For real Perez, NONE of his clothes ever fit him properly. All his jackets are MILES too big in the shoulders, length, arms and waist. He is a midget. When he sings he looks like a goat or a llama, his libs vibrate insanely and he looks like he is about to drop a shit out his ass.

      He really is the human version of the donkey from Shrek — fucking annoying.

      Yeah, watching Australian Idol, it wasn't that hard to figure out Anthony Callea is gay. He is completely adorable. If he were straight and a couple of inches taller, I'd totally do him. :)

      Why not show someone who can actually SING well, and not someone you think looks good.

      Gays never would have discovered Aretha Franklin.
      Music is about what comes out the speakers. Its not modeling.

      Hey, Jess, Perez covered the coming out story aaaages ago, where have you been?

    33. SeanOfTheDead says – reply to this


      33

      This person is very ugly. I cannot understand why anyone would say he is in the least bit attractive. For some reason, when a celebrity 'comes out', gay guys equate this with them being super hot. If you are fugly in the closet, you are fugly when you step out. Maybe more so when the light hits you…

      37

      perez…you're a star! totally addicted to your site. anthony callea is not so bad…he seems like a nice guy. for a girl who is obsessed with fashion i think he's very stylish and he obviously has an eye for fashion….his clothes couldn't be more taylor fit! he so has talent…he has enough skill to make singing look easy. his only downfall is his lack of hieght.

      Thanks Perez for not forgetting us Aussies! :) He is very good looking but too short for my liking- if you fon't mind tiny, pocket sized guys he's alright. The idols in Australia never make it too far though.

      Anothony is a cutie!

      Alot of people like him, I think he holds the record for the highest EVER selling single in Australia for The Prayer - I think its the only single I've bought for years, love it.

      I don't think his outing was a bad, like didn't we all already know! Just waiting for his confirmation.

    53. seb says – reply to this


      53

      I interviewed him for radio once. Just before he came out. Part of it went like this:

      Me : Are you fluent in Italian?

      Anthony : No, I feel like a bit of a fraud, because I can't speak it, yet I sang 'The Prayer'.

      Me : Don't worry, in my family if you've had spaghetti once, that's authentic enough. You're practically a citizen.

      Anthony : Spaghetti?

      Me : Yes, if you've eaten it once you qualify.

      Anthony : (has a complete hissy fit, and drops his 'straight voice' for a bitchy whine) Well of course I've had spaghetti!!! What a stupid, stupid question. Tch! That's really dumb of you to ask.

      Me : Um, I was joking, I said, in my family, if you've eaten spaghetti once you qualify as an honorary Italian.

      Anthony : (Finally gets it) Oh. *laughs* Yeah.

      I've done over 200 interviews with people more famous than the dwarf, and NOBODY has ever been so rude. He's somewhat of something that rhymes with "total bunt".

      Oh come one people. Why be so nasty to Anthony when he is a good decent and somwhat drool worthy guy? Save the nasty dumb arse comments for your all american alcoholic sluts or drug fucked loosers that usually fill up this blog.

      59

      Perez, you think every gay person is hot…
      Perhaps you should start targeting the ones with no eyes…
      No person with the ability to see would ever, ever, EVER go near you without being forced to. EVER.
      Maybe you should invest in a paper bag?
      Hmm… but then they would take one look at the rest of you and run faster than Forest Gump…
      You're pretty much fucked man.

      Actually the better looking, more interesting Australian Idol Finalist was Robert "Milsey" Mills. He was like 4th runner up on Australian Idol but still managed to bang Paris Hilton in a hotel room for 2 days during the Melbourne Cup 2004.

      Anthony has an absolutely awesome voice, the trouble in Oz people love nothing better than to knock successful artists and some people still can't get over his success after idol. He was handpicked to sing for Queen Elizabeth 11, also Pavarotti asked him to sing for him a gala dinner held in Pavarotti's honour after seeing him perform The Prayer, he has received many Awards for his work and holds the record for the Highest selling single by an Australian arist in our music history.

      He is absolutely gorgeous and really his height isn't an issue, do people knock Prince about his height who is actually shorter than Anthony, what about Al Pacino as well who isn't much taller to name a couple. Anthony is actually taller than me with my heals on and I am certainly no little person. Because they have nothing better to pick on about him all the knockers bag his height, all I say to you is just turn around and look in the mirror at yourself.
      I was at the concert on Sunday night and it was one of the best live shows I have been too, and yes he is dreamy and yes very sexy and very funny and has a beautiful soul.
      So you people knocking him need to get over yourselves and ask yourself why you are doing it.
      I was so impressed with his concert I immediately tried to get tickets for another show in Sydney but they are sold out so I booked tickets for an encore show they just added in Melbourne by popular demand. So anyone saying that no-one cares tell all the hoards of people going to his soldout concerts.

      Also I have to add he is one of the best dressed artists around and his clothes are tailored perfectly to fit.

      He is also about to star in an Opera, with some of the biggest names in the industry.

      Well done Anthony on your success and look forward to what's ahead.

      Anthony Callea, is a superb artist, from Australia and yes i love his voice and him, hes an amazing artist who shines at the top of his potential, SO what if he is gay?!, atleast he is encouraging more people to come 'out of the closet', yes i will be seeing him perform. Not just for his suberb voice and his great looks :)

      Great eye perez.

      Yep I think we all know that Lurie, it doesn't make a difference he has the best voice in the country IMO and thats what its all about and he is fantastic live, even better than recorded. He was born to be a star, best concert Ive been too in a long time.

    72. Anna says – reply to this


      72

      omggg i LOVE him, i only watched Australian Idol for him, and he became runner up. Anthony Callea has the hottest voice ever, i waited for 5 hours after he played one of his songs at a shopping centre to get to meet him and get his autograph. Then i found out one of my friends is his cousin, so now i see him like all the time AND who cares if hes gay and not that tall??? I SURE DONT!

      73

      Hey thanks for posting that Perez,and he is the dreamiest. Next time your in Oz you should check out one of his concerts, because he has the voice of an angel. I think his fans took some better pictures at his concert than Getty did this time, that picture doesn't do him justice, still gorgeous though. Good things come in small packages.

      Lets look at the facts, the boy can sing!!. That is all that should matter. Regardless of whether he is gay, straight, bi or likes animals, with a voice like his its irrelevant. Move on people.
