Taleon Goffney

Taleon Goffney, a gay porn actor, is going to prison, reports the Associated Press. Taleon Goffney was busted last year for breaking into a beauty shop. And now it's time for Taleon Goffney to pay the piper; he pleaded guilty to burglary and criminal conspiracy charges, and, according to The Associated Press, will be going to prison for at least three years.

The Taleon Goffney story would be interesting enough if it were just about a gay porn actor going to prison for burglary. But the story is a little more interesting than that. Not only did Taleon Goffney commit a series of burglaries in which his modus operandi was to break into stores through their rooftops using a chainsaw and ax, but on a few occasions Taleon Goffney's accomplice was his identical twin brother Keyontyli Goffney, who - get this - is also a gay porn actor who has appeared in gay porn flicks with his brother Taleon Goffney.

Erik Shut, of TLA Entertainment Group, told The Associated Press that Taleon Goffney and his twin brother Keyontyli Goffney appear in gay porn flicks under the names Teyon and Keyon. Shut told The Associated Press that the twins could have had a very bright future in the gay porn business. He said the fact that Taleon and Keyontyli Goffney are identical twins and "incredibly good-looking" is a novelty.

Lori Silverbush

Tom Colicchio and wife Lori Silverbush broke news Thursday that the are expecting a baby…soon! Lori is due in early August, and they already know it is a boy! This will be their first child together, and Tom has a 16-year-old son from a previous relationship.

A name has been picked out for the little guy, but won’t be revealed until he is born. Tom says, “We’re keeping it under wraps. Our parents don’t know the name yet.” Congratulations on the pregnancy…and on the two Emmy nominations for Top Chef!

Breaking the news to Tom’s mother turned out to be fun. Tom shares, “This is her seventh [grandchild]! In fact, that’s how we broke it to her. We gave her a little onesie with the number seven on the back of it. She opened it up and she’s like, ‘What?!’”

Martellus Bennett

Martellus Bennett ‘Black Olympics’ video filmed with his brother Michael Bennett and tell us what you think in the comments. Both are professional football players playing for the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks respectively.

The so-called “black Olympics” video is wrong on so many levels. On the one hand we do need to lighten up as a nation and stop taking everything so seriously. On the other hand, racial stereotyping is not the way to make fun of ourselves. In the video, Martellus Bennett with his brother Michael compete in competitions ranging from eating fried chicken and watermelon to drinking Kool-aid.

This story reminds me of our painful history of race relations in sports. In the old negro-leagues, all-black teams would occasionally play major league baseball teams for exhibition. The black players were roundly jeered by the spectators, and there is one famous incident of a white major league professional player rolling a watermelon on to the field.
