Guess who's come clean in the latest issue of Marie Claire in the UK? Reese Rideout (Reece Jacobs in this piece) is straight and has a wife.

Well, my hat's off to Reese. I'm a super cynic, and when we were filming with him for our stripper episode of OutTV's Don't Quit Your Gay Job in 2009 (here and here and here)... well, he really seemed like he was enjoying himself, kissing fans in the basement of Celebrities, grabbing guys on the dancefloor. Maybe he just likes the attention and is that good an actor.

A really good actor. Because, as the reader who sent me this pointed out (thanks M), would you stay in a relationship with someone who lied to you about doing porn and told you over a dinner party while your friends were over? Get real... thanks but no thanks.

It's Pride Week, Vancouver! Whatever your Pride fantasies may be, here's a shoot for DNA from the Randy Blue crew to get your imagination going. Yeah yeah. So I have a thing for Reese Rideout and Leo Giamani. What's it to you? We can all dream right?

Damn that Reese Rideout straight to sexy hell:

Well, Vancouver, turns out stripping is a lot harder than it looks, especially after being on set for 11 hours beforehand (filming for Don't Quit Your Gay Job). We had a packed club at Celebrities last night, which added considerably to the "Oh my fucking god I am going to take off all my clothes on camera for a whole bunch of friends, family and complete strangers" panic that left me in a strange combination of throw-up yawns before taking the stage at midnight.

Earlier yesterday evening, Trevor at Stinkwallet sent me this: 

This gave me some much needed perspective. If I didn't get my shit together, I could face a similar future as the lady in blue. Honestly. Who likes being told they could be more successful doing something else? Bitch please. 

Just wanted to also say thank you to all the readers for putting up with some inconsistent postings recently. We're wrapping production and after the finale last night, I'll be able to have a normal life again soon, which means bigger, beefer blogs here on Up Your Alley.

Reese Rideout beefy? Perhaps. That guy is pervert and I loved every second of him coaching me how to striptease yesterday. Tuns out he's also just a nice guy from Oregon who loves what he does. He'll be at Seattle Pride at the end of this month so make sure you say hi if you see him around.

Nowadays, someone asks you for your number and if you want to be slippery and give a fake, it blows up in your face because they can call right then and there on a cell. If you're not one to say no to someone's face, try the following service, sent to me by a friend of mine and regular UYA reader:

Check out the Rejection Hotline (as seen on OMG). The Rejection Hotline has a bunch of numbers you can give out to that relentless d-bag who won't leave you alone till you give him a number. So, you just give him one from the hotline and when he calls it the next day it tells him what an annoying loser he is. The Vancouver number is: 778-786-8557 . At the end of the rejection is an advertisement for joining the navy - very Village People.

Give it a call. Take some of your friends' business cards, cross out their real number, put this one in and pass them out as you see fit...no no, I don't advocate that. But hey, I'm not here to judge. Clearly.

This week's addition to the Hotness Files may be participating in a show with yours truly next month. More on that coming to UYA tomorrow. Reese Rideout is an actor, you may have seen some of his Randy Blue films. You can also check him out here.
