Big Gay Al Speaks!
Filed under: When Celebrities Blog > Star Jones
Al Reynolds is misunderstand, y'all.
The soon-to-be former Mr. Star Jones was us to pity him! Boo hoo.
B.G.A. has just posted a big gay rant on his official MySpace.
This is what he has to say:
"Dear Friends: If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose you walk in my shoes for a few hours. In my mind, it feels like “Dump on Al Month.” And I’m not having fun yet. I have been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don’t bear repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken disparagingly of my life, my sexuality, my career and my integrity. The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my family(including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense level of provocation, I have said nothing. My Publicist has put out a one sentence statement: “We’re taking the high road.” And we have and will continue on that path. As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise. It’s clear that the media doesn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate to ruin their fun. I take great comfort in the fact that my loved ones and those people who really know me continue to love and respect me. Thank you “all” for the endless emails, phone calls and words of encouragement. I know in my heart that I entered my marriage with love and the best of intentions and leave it with great sadness that it didn’t work. What the world doesn’t know about me would fill a book, but I know who I am and what I have achieved in my life. Before I met Star Jones I was a successful Wall Street banker and since then I have become an entrepreneur, an educator and soon, an author. I grew up in a working class home, a mobile home in fact. I understand the struggles of the working class. My mother was a teacher and my father was in the military. I was given values, integrity and a strong moral upbringing (thanks mom and dad). In these hard economic times, I am working to take my knowledge and experience of the business world and use it to empower and enlighten working class Americans who are often ‘left behind’ by traditional financial advice. I educate inspiring young men and women at Florida Memorial University, a historically black liberal arts university in Miami, Florida. I continue to follow my entrepreneurial spirit in the world of business and investment while completing my doctorate in Organizational Leadership. So I indeed work very hard as a professor, business owner, doctoral student and author. I play hard too. I make no apologies for that. A guy is entitled to a little fun, after all. What I want people to know is that I am not the caricature portrayed by the media. I am complex, contradictory and capable of great intelligence but also remarkable stupidity. In other words, I am a human being. To me, labels are for clothes, not people. So…..Please don’t try to define me; don’t try to categorize me; and most of all, don’t label me. Instead, JUST GET TO KNOW ME. And if you see me, just call me Al."
Thoughts?????

He's right…
Nobody really knows him or who he his as a person, yet so many have just drug him through the dirt just because he married a successful woman who had money. I feel bad for the guy.
He seems like a pretty intelligent guy, and Star was lucky to land him in the first place at the 400 lbs she was at. Now that she's thin and "beautiful?" (if you ask me she still looks like hell) she thinks that she's too good for the guy that loved her before she had saggy skin all over her body.
Al will do great things in life most likely. Star will probably have a few more talk show bombs and blow up once again.
I think he was very articulate…
Sounds like he spanked you Perez–his background is NORMAL and he doesn't admit to being gay. In today's world when admitting that you have sex with a piece of garbage is "cool," I think he would admit if he were a homo. Make fun of his decision to marry Star Jones, but…he doesn't seem as doofy as you characterized previously.
Only if you call me Betty— sorry I had to say it!
Ok, I get this rant. But at the same time, what is he trying to run for president or something? Big Al 2012!
who gives a flippin' f*ck if he's gay or not? seriously people.. to each his own.. what a small minded world we live in. you're on perez hilton reading celebrity freaking gossip and then you're going to chastise this poor dude for minimally and tastefully defending himself? wtf ever.. gay or not, he's still human and divorce is rough on the strongest of people - i'm sure in his own way he loved star, even if only for companionship. big gay perez… no room to talk honey.. not even a little.. but i still love ya' baby.. and to the fucktard that dogged perez's momma… come say that to my face honey and watch this little latina lay your bitch ass out on the fucking floor.. have some respect asshole.. what's the matter? did your momma not give a shit about your stupid ass so you gotta pick on perez's to make yourself feel better? and to the bitch with no electricity or whatever.. you're a fucking idiot. period.
still gay
Focus on the nutcase…his ex. Leave the poor schmo alone.
"I am complex, contradictory"
So…he's saying he's bisexual?
I have a newfound respect for him. Well spoken Al…defend your honor..we still don't all get what the heck you saw in Star Jones and maybe that is why you can't catch a break!
He has a publicist????
He is an articulate intelligent human being that has his life all over the newspapers. Instead of making fun of him perez why don't you learn from him. Maybe he can teach you how to write your column so you sound more educated than and idiot that you are. If he is gay then he is one of your sisters and you need to support him.
"I'm just gigolo. And everywhere I go…" hahaha He confesses all his sins in the forms of denials.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, Big Gay Al. 
I *heart* South Park.
That was written very well!
The guy is articulate and erudite, and is much more intelligent than all of you.
Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody
:D
I'm Just a gigolo
everywhere I go
people know the part
I'm playing
***
Paid for every dance
selling each romance
Oh what their saying
***
There will come a day
And youth will pass away
What will they say about me
***
When the end comes I know
they'll say just a gigolo
Life goes on without me
I always wondered what he say in Star….. She's nasty! Oh and Perez, you need to use spell check! Your first two sentences contain errors. Idiot!
Nicely said. Well done.
His month was bad! Has he not seen what's going on in the world right now? Some people are quite selfish.
If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long-lost pal you can call me anything….CALL ME Al
well said
oh BOOOOOO HOOOOOO I feel sooooo bad for him. Pleaseee.
Run, Run, Run little PIGGY. You're only getting what you deserve. You sow the wild oats, now you reap. You and R. Kelly should get together and party.
Leave him alone Perez, you obviously are, one of those people who need the attention, so stick to people who are out there like you who wants to be picked at, this guys is the wrong one.
What sexuality anyone chooses to exercise is their own business as long as it is between two consenting adults….or….as long as everyone is consenting.
It doesn't sound like this guy is dishonest. I am sure they went into the relationship openly and honestly.
It seems like people are attempting to indicate he was not forthcoming with regard to his sexuality. The man does not seem like a liar to me. He has every right to his privacy.
Guess he musta liked her better fat.
It is very clear that he is a bright man. Whether or not the media may question his sexuality, quite frankly, it is none of our damn business. It sounds like he is living his life the way he wants to live it with very much respect for himself. So kudos to Al!
This is supposedely an educated man, does he know what the return key is for. Paragraphs man, paragraphs.
It is so difficult to read this ish. I couldn't even finish it. Grief!!.
Ahhh the things we do for love……..of money. LOL
Gosh, I too feel a bit sorry for him. Much more heartfelt and sane message than I expected. He could give Terry McMillan's ex a lesson or seven. You go Big Gay Al! I mean, just Al!
That's what she gets for marrying a GAY GAY GAY man!
Shame on him. He's not a professor; doing speaking engagements at a university for $$ is not 'teaching' nor 'inspiring'. And I bet a concussed physical education student could get a degree in 'organizational leadership' and that he pays someone to write his thesis.
Oh, and by 'entitled to a little fun': gaygaygaygaygay.
EVERYONE ON EARTH IS BISEXUAL BUT THEY JUST WON'T ADMIT IT!
This was not a marriage or any love this was simply a faux contract marriage between Big Gay Al and Gay StarZilla Jones. She was 45 yrs old and never married and so she did a Hollywood Contract Marriage where two gays hook up marry to make then look staright!
Star would never have married otherwise as who woud marry that zipped up hag?
WHOEVER IS ON HERE MAKING RACIST COMMENTS NEEDS 2 STOP.. ESPECIALLY THREATENED 2 KILL THE MAN. YOUR CRAZY AND NEED 2 BE LOCKED AWAY.. THE PERSON NAME WAS OPRAH. WE ALL SHOULD STOP BEING JUDGEMENTAL TOWARDS THE MAN. NOONE IS PERFECT IN THIS WORLD. THIS SITE HAS SO LOW, IGNORANT, EVIL PPL WHO SOMETIMES LEAVES COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER THING MR.

Leave the man alone. You make it so easy to be a cyber bully Perez. Hang in there Al
All is says is "I, I, I" and "ME, ME, ME!!!" How gross that that big queen is reveling in the spotlight. Sickening!
I want B.G.A to be my prof!!!!
He needs a 10 incher up Hersey highway.
Poor guy! he sounds like a really nice man who got chewed up & shat out from on high by the so-called star system. I think he's better off out of it & as for his being gay; well, who gives a shit these days? I'm amazed Perez is so down on him: shame on you, cuban girl!
He did get the raw end of the deal marrying Star, he has never been outspoken in the media and never tried to become famous like k-fed and losers like that, but at the same time don't these people ever learn it is best to ALWAYS keep the mouth shut…this blog entry was not the smartest idea. If he kept quiet in a few months he would have blended into obscurity, now he maybe extended the few months to another few months before he will be forgotten, perhaps that is the way he wanted it though?
In other words:
"I'm broke. Send money".
Must be a Paul Simon Fan!
GUH-AY.
It's always to sides to a story. I think that was very well presented and Al best luck to you and yours. You are showing a great deal of courage. I can't imagine being labeled and ridiculed such nasty names while trying to deal with a divorce. No matter what happened we as a people shouldn't do a person like this. We need to take a look in the mirror before we do alot of the name calling.
That is about 2 sentences shy of being interesting. Shut the fuck up!
Can't get that Paul Simon song out of my mind now…
Re: luscious latina – Why don't you go fry up some beans or take care of your eight children and close your loud mouth for once. Trust me, no one cares about your opinions…not even your husband who used to think your ass was cute a few years ago. Now he just thinks it's huge!
Well, that's that. Now don't report on this guy anymore because he doesn't want you to. Period.
BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: single mom – Maybe you should spend your time at Monster.com instead of PerezHilton.com.
He left out the last part:
I'm 6' 2", 185 lbs, love heavy touching, kissing and foreplay; mostly bottom but will top if you're more feminine than me - is that possible
Come and get me boys!
ALL MEN ARE BISEXUAL LADIES STOP FOOLING YOURSELVES!
Leave the poor guy alone!!! Divorce is never easy especially when your married to big (oh sorry skinny) nasty ass Star Jones YUCK!!!
Well, when you and Star were dating and sucking on media attention like mother's milk, I didn't hear any complaints!! Now that the relationship has ran its course, you feel all victimized and abused. Guess what Al? The same comments they were making before you married Star are the same comments that are still being made. You cant expect to walk down Fame Avenue and remain anonymous. You both were marrying the media, not each other!! So you just gotta take the good with the bad. Embrace it, don't run from it!!
AAWWW I like him. She's a B*TCH!
He thinks people care what he has to say!!!! LOL
Re: kimmers – good point i couldn't have said it better myself
This fool has a publicist! Huh?
Sounds like a perfect example of why we as people need to open our eyes and not judge. Star Jones could be a cunt for all we know. Plus, she lied about getting gastric bypass, and nobody calls her big fat faker Jones.
Yeah, Al…
.
but are you a top or a bottom?
…
He's right, you don't know him. Stop writing about him.
RE:Should be "large-ass latina"
you're nothing but a low life racist little cunt faced bitch take your stereotypically views and shove them up your nasty bony ass
really really gay al, just come out already!
This mother fucker is so full of shit! Just like most men down here in Miami, they are either 2 things: 1)Gay or 2)Hustler (ie. drugs, fraud, womanizing, free-loaders, etc)…..he was both.
PS. I smoke Pole
wow…for NO CARING what the media says and does and how it portrays him, he sure did try really hard to shoot it all down. either u care…or u dont…that simple. i think he cares…cuz theyre right!
Team Big Gay Al here, he sounds nice.
Bravo to him!! Its so sad that in this world we try and break each other apart and step on people to make ourselves feel better! We ask to not be judged yet turn around and do the very thing to others just because they are on a magazine cover or in the media. Even you Perez, would you say these things you do to those peoples faces? Would you in turn be hurt if they were to judge you or say things that would hurt you? I read your page for the up and coming music, and yes sometimes the celeb gossip but man, some of the stuff you say just makes me cringe and wonder who you are to say those things……sad.
Big Gay AL also stinks like doody. One time, when I saw Star and Al at Barb's amazing and incredible apartment on 5th Avenue, Al went into the bathroom, and didn't come out for what seemed like a half an hour. "What can be going on?" we all thought, and Barbara started getting VISIBLY nervous and somewhat shaken. Cha Cha started jumping up at the door. We started to smell an odor coming from the bathroom. "Was he jerking off to Barbara's Playgirl collection?" Heck no! It turns out, Big Al was taking a big doody and stunk up the 5th Avenue Pied d'terre (that is a word Barbara taught me…). Anyway, when he came out, we were all gagging, so much, that Barbara's dinner had to be delayed to air out the home. She was concerned that the doody stink would seap into her sofa cushions and some of the old art work, especially the oils. Now THERE is an art collection. But I digress…Anyway, for the rest of the night, there was a doody stink coming from Al, and Star LOVED IT! She simply LOVED IT! She was telling everyone to smell AL, and literally VOTE with pencils and paper, if the odor was lovely or revolting. Cha Cha kept jumping up and sniffing AL's pants. Anyway, it was a night to remember, and when ever I smell doody coming from me, Kel, or the kids, I think of Big Gay Al. In fact, I believe Barbara wrote an entire chapter in her book about the whole eventful evening, entitled: Star, AL and the Doody Smell. PEACE OUT, ROSIE!
Give the dude a break - he had to bang that mess called star Jones, that could not have been easy. HE EARNED EVERY PENNY!
Very well written! He really is "taking the high road" like his publicist said by posting that. It's sad that the media attacked him and all those around him like that … I guess there's no way that the media will leave all these celebrities and their personal lives alone
i have worked with both Al and Star. Al was kind, respectful, funny and all around decent dude. there is nothing abnormal about his marrying an intelligent public woman, his liking to party, or that his relationship did not work out.
although i have no personal contact with him, only a short term work situation, i feel for him and how the public has treated him. it's as if all the public frustration of Star, was put on him. He's a genuine decent guy. i say pick on someone else, who is looking for the negative media attention.
I give him an A+
I say leave him alone. Who says she is so great!
Once you collect on Star Jones you'll be able to come out…but don't come out until then, ’cause she'll roast your ass for "fraud".
Until very recently I lived in Miami…but I've never heard of Florida Memorial University. Admittedly, Florida is not a haven for higher education, but instead a haven for people who simply want to get a degree to get themselves a certain level of job (screw "knowledge").
Only a fag would care that much about what people think about him.
"Labels are for clothes?" Oh, HONEY, come out. Either way, my first question was, "Al has a Myspace page?"
People should just leave him alone.
You obviously have to be a special kind of person to be married to someone like HER.
FIRST!!
He's a fag.
I don't know maybe cause Im drunk but I have no idea what the fuck he wrote….just blah blah blah
Yup GAY…is this his RESUME?
Re: Claudia –
Oh Claudia….Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? Look at your sentence again and read it!
i am glad that he came out with his statement. he is right about the media always trying to put labels on people. he seems like a cool guy. i actually don't like star jones. she seems fake and cocky to me. damn media and bloggers are so quick to want to call someone gay…maybe you should look at the ones that are claiming to be so hard all the time…the ones in the NBA, NHL, NFL….thats where 90% of the gays are…..
Nicely put, good luck Al,
The perception started when Star, a woman of independent means used The View to pay for her wedding.
What man allows that?
Big Al, you've accomplished a great deal.
But you also gave over to greed, and that, unfortunately will define you.
Both of you could have paid for a fab wedding and donated to charity to help those less fortunate.
Instead, both of you chose to whore out the wedding.
I lost all respect for both of you when that happened.
But mostly you, because you should have manned up and stopped the crap.
Re: Colorblind –
Go f*** the KKK, evry race is beauTfL!!!!!!
Aw poor Al~ice
good for him…..
One question—why does Al need a publicist??? Al sux and Star sux too.
My thoughts are…he's talking to YOU, Perez.
He sounds quite intelligent, shows character and has some class. Something 90% of celebrities lack. So what if he's gay and wants to keep it private. It's certainly none of our damn business.
he seems to have more class than star.
He needs to find a better photo re-toucher. His one picture is HORRIBLY shopped. It's easy to see where they touched up his brows, forehead, and under eyes.
Booo.
and i wear pink panties!
The soon-to-be former Mr. Star Jones wants us to pity him!
:)-
STOP FUCKING TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK, YOU CUBAN DICTATOR. HE IS NOT LOOKING FOR PITY. IT IS ONLY AN EXPLANTION OF HIS POSITION, AND YOU, IN FACT, ARE ONE OF THE ASSHOLES THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
#134 - BRICE says – reply to this
EVERYONE ON EARTH IS BISEXUAL BUT THEY JUST WON'T ADMIT IT!
******* Brice, are you trying to tell us something???
Who cares if he's 'Big Gay Al' or just Al who dumped 'Big ugly horrendous Star'. He's more human by miles than she will ever be. I wish him well. Well and done with her sorry, lying, sub-human ass.
Re: thoughts… – Some how i dont think he in saying hes had a worse day then those in burma or china. In fact, im pretty sure he knows that people from burma and china WONT be reading thig blog.
