Vivica Fox: My Strippers Will Not Be Dancing For Gay Men

Vivica A. Fox had a disconcertingly homophobic moment during a recent interview promoting her 'Black Magic' male revue.

Vivica and a couple of the dancers from her new reality show sat down for a chat with the hosts of the popular radio show, "The Breakfast Club," and during the kiki Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy asked if gay guys would be welcome at her dancers' shows.

Her cringeworthy  response: "Hell no. Back all that up."

When asked further why the dancers wouldn't dance for gay men, Fox said this:

"There's no need to. They dance for women. It's called 'the ultimate girl's night out' for a reason."

It's worth noting that Chippendales, the longtime leader in male revues, has long had an open door policy regarding men in their audiences.

Any given night, you see men with their wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or husbands. It's all good with the Chipps.

"Forbidden Nights" - Britain's Got Talent Gets A Surprise

A group of five hunky London boys surprised the judges at Britain's Got Talent with their shirtless performance that wowed even Simon Cowell.

Goes to show you there's a huge audience for male revues when it's done well :)

It all began with a singing soloist named Lewis Codling who seemed to have technical difficulties. As the "audio techs" came out to his aid, it was soon clear a different sort of talent would soon be on parade.

The strippers, who call themselves Forbidden Nights, launched into a performance of Bruno Mars' "Runaway" that stopped the show cold.

Simon Cowell said, with a smile: “You actually had me fooled. You’re a very good actor.”

“I’ll tell you what, that was so crafty and clever, it was brilliant,” judge Alesha Dixon beamed.

David Walliams was direct with his support: “It’s a yes!”

Supermodel & Actor Tyson Beckford Inks Deal To Host Chippendales In Las Vegas

Get ready Las Vegas for Tyson Beckford at Chippendales!

Supermodel Tyson Beckford announced on Wednesday that he'll be joining the Chippendales at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as their next celebrity guest host.

"I am really excited to join the Chippendales show in Las Vegas," Beckford says of the upcoming party gig. "These guys provide a flirty and sexy yet playful experience for women, and being a part of that party each night just seems like fun."

The 44-year-old superstar model has never been shy about showing some skin throughout his career - after all, it's part of the job, don't you know? For instance, check out his appearance on The Real where a faux-photo shoot led to him taking his clothes off :)

And with the recent surge in interest in male revues, Beckford has a starring role in the upcoming Chocolate City -- which tells the age-old story of a college student who turns to stripping in order to pay the bills -- out March 19.

Past celebrity guest hosts include Sharknado and Beverly Hills 90210 star Ian Ziering and Melissa & Joey star Joey Lawrence.

Living in Las Vegas, I've been to Chippendales many times. The men are hot, the audience (mostly women - but men are welcome) really makes the show because they just let it all go and have fun. Sometimes, the Chippendales' reactions to the women getting freaky is the best part of the show.

Whenever Chippendales brings a new celeb, in it points up that the show is always changing - new music, new production numbers, new faces in the cast.

And the show isn't your average "strip and tip" kind of deal. The Chipps have their own $10 million theater and lounge, and the show is a full-on show.

Beckford's run with the Chipps begins April 30th and runs to May 24th. Click here for tickets and more info.

And let's not forget "the most wanted men in Sin City" - the Chippendales:

Trailer: Joe Manganiello's male stripper documentary "La Bare"

Joe Manganiello makes his directorial debut with this documentary exploring the world of male revues.

Following the shirtless hunks of Dallas' La Bare, Manganiello pulls back the curtain on what he calls "a strange and provocative world hidden in plain sight."

The film made it's debut at Slamdance this past season and is being prepped for release this summer.

Because my husband works with the world famous Chippendales in Las Vegas, I've seen a lot of what happens in this environment and it's really fascinating. Not just from the dancer's perspective, but what the experience means to the women and how it affects them.

Joe Manganiello's documentary on male revue "La Bare" gets release date

Joe Manganiello, of True Blood and Magic Mike fame, has produced a documentary about life as a male stripper at the iconic La Bare club in Dallas, Texas.

The film began life as a teaser for a reality show Manganiello was planning.  But the further Manganiello and his producing partner brother Nick delved into the lives of the dancers, the more it became clear that a documentary was the way to go.

After a very successful debut at Slamdance Film Festival in January, Manganiello now has set a release date for his film of June 27th.
