Everybody has dated or hooked up with someone famous, or at least someone who's been in front of a tv camera, but a good celebrity dating story has to have five characteristics:
1. He has to be recognizable to the audience. Someone who starred in five episodes of a long-gone sitcom doesn't count.
2. He has to be attractive.
3. He can't be out. Who cares about your date with a gay guy? We want closets, down low, dish.
4. The sexual activity should be explosive. This is an erotic story, after all.
5. The date or hookup should be verifiable.
That's why my go-to celebrity dating story is Michael J. Fox, even though it's been 30 years and nothing erotic happened. He's a recognizable star, he's attractive, he's straight, and I can prove that we had lunch. I can invent the explosions.
My friend David in San Francisco has been hooking up with at least one guy per day since 1996, but that good celebrity dating story has always eluded him. He usually goes with Brad Pitt, even though it was actually a 4-way, and the details aren't verifiable.
But today, David calls and tells me, "I found a new celebrity hookup story: Skyler Stone."
Who?
"Do you watch Raising Hope?"
"Skyler Stone played Cousin Mike in the first episode."
The full story, with nude photos and sexual situations, is on Tales of West Hollywood.
Here's a link to the story of David's hookup with Skyler Stone.
And Brad Pitt.
