Every now and then, the lines between audience and performer blur in Los Angeles, and sometimes it can be a little weird. You know, like when you spend an entire summer making fun of fourteen people and then you go to a party in their honor. Oy vey. Last night, the TVgasm staff attended the wrap party for Big Brother 5, and man was it interesting. On the whole, everyone was very friendly and eager to talk about the game. And by "talk about the game", I mean bash Jase. Talk about a hated man. Half the house guests I spoke to didn't even need any prodding to begin their attacks on Jase. We could be talking about the weather and they'd be like "Yes, it is a lovely night. Speaking of night, Jase is a terrible human being." One cast member went so far as to say that his relationship with Holly is an act to divert attention away from his blatant homosexuality. Of course, we knew it all along. Cue the Scott & Jase video...
Speaking of the aforementioned video, I spoke with a staff member who not only verified Jase's worthlessness (seriously, everyone hated him) but told me that he's seen the TVgasm creation and hates it. Apparently he wants to beat us up. I'm not even joking. Now, as much as Jase and his makeup, waxed eyebrows, summer scarf, and generally transvestite appearance cause me to laugh, he is much more jacked than me, and I therefore do not wish to engage in any sort of fisticuffs. Besides, all that hair gel could make weird stains in my clothing.
Scott, on the other hand, could not have been any nicer. The big oaf was looking a bit silly in a sleeveless getup and a train conductor hat, but at this point, he's already established himself as a sartorial disaster; so none of this is news. At least he's committed to his unique brand of Savage Chic. He said that he had no plans to move to Los Angeles, but then some casting people called him and yada yada yada we'll be seeing him at Cabo Cantina in a few weeks. I asked him how the mandana sales were going (a genuine concern for me. I ghostwrite for Kerchief Lifestyles Magazine). Scott cringed and said that sales were not so good, and then he removed from his back pocket a lovely pink mandana. Yes, I was lucky enough to see the sacred garb that is Scott's private bandana. What a champ. We like Scott.
Project DNA was in full force at the party. Literally. I ran into my cousin there. Aside from her, I met a flurry of cast members - Will, Drew, Nakomis, Marvin, Natalie, Adria - and talked with them for varying amounts of time. There really wasn't much to say on that front. Marvin still has his stupid cigar (Marvin, if you're reading this, please deal with your oral fixation in private), Will said his issues with the twins is water under the bridge, and Drew said "Thanks very much" (I told him congrats).
Amidst all this, partygoers swamped the cast members to wish them well, ask for autographs, or have their photos taken. Well, they swamped almost everyone. Jase and Holly had a conspicuous lack of followers hanging around them. Holly was looking pretty sexy in an ultra miniskirt, and she was toting an equally sexy friend in a similar ensemble. Jase, fyi, was wearing his same stupid outfit from the finale episode. I know you all care. I was just happy to see them ostracized.
I met Drew and Diane's twins, Ben and Lindsay, both of whom were extremely friendly and solid conversationalists. One of the difficulties of the night was that while you could chit chat a little with the cast members, they in general were so the center of attention that I felt I was at a meet and greet, not a cocktail party. Go away people! I want them all to myself! Mwhahahaa!
Anyway, the point is that Ben and Lindsay were less in demand which meant I didn't have to have another annoying conversation filled with questions like "So, how did it feel? Are you really that mad? What do you think about Jase? Can you elaborate on that please? What do you mean llama rectum?" and so on and so forth.

So, when you say you brought Diane up to speed, what kind of stuff did you tell her?
3 of 10 | Posted by hacky | Posted on September 24, 2004 2:38 PM
Well, she was talking as if she were portrayed as a bitch, and I really didn't feel that was the case. I told her that she didn't come off like that at all. I told her that no one really did; although in retrospect, I sort of forgot the twins in that comment. Then we talked about Scott and how he was portrayed as a jerk in the house but afterwards he seemed really humble in the Chenbot interview. Diane said that everyone loved Scott in the house. But what Diane really enjoyed hearing was dirt about Jase and how awkward his interview was. Around then we were interrupted. I may have told her more stuff. Can't remember.

I am a SoCal resident who knows Jase pretty well. I just thought I'd let you know that Jase has seen the "Scott and Jase video" many times and has directed friends to the site for their veiwing amusement. He and I both feel like it's an entertaining little video and hope that it doesn't disappear soon or you can direct folks to a url where it can be downloaded for future viewing. Thanks to whoever put it together as there must have been some time involved. As for homosexuality, your so far off you might as well be on the moon.

I welcome Jase to refute any and all claims made on this website.
But until then, rumor is fact! Rumor is fact!

actually jase is not gay. we received his application, but it was denied. he has been returned to the straights.

I am confused. In the "Hell Freezes Over" article you said Jase thought the video of him and Scott was "hilarious" but now you are saying he hates it. What is it? And now for the important question: Has Scott seen the video?

In the hell freezes over article, I did say that, but he also sort of acted like he had no idea what I was talking about and wanted to go along with it. I actually believed him until the party when a staffer told me that he hated it and was cursing about it. But now someone who claims to be Jase's friend says he loves it. I don't know. It's one of the many mysteries of Jase.
