Meet Nathan Minor of Chippendales
How about a little Q&A with uber-handsome Nathan Minor of The Chippendales?
Q: Were you a theatrical sort of kid?
A: I was Johnny Appleseed (in a school play) my fifth-grade year. That’s my claim to fame. And I was in choir, up until eighth grade.
Q: When did you decide to pursue a career in entertainment?
A: I don’t know, because I was a big football fan, too. I played football from Pee Wee, and that was one direction. I thought I was going to go to college and play ball. But I dislocated my knee a couple of times and I ended up in art school (on a scholarship).
Q: Did you finish?
A: The second year of art school, I was bored to death. … So I went to the president of the school and I asked him if we could put the scholarship on hold. He thought that was pretty funny. I ended up walking out without a scholarship and leaving school without talking to my family first.
Q: When did you join Chippendales?
A: They were doing something in New York and asked me to be a part of it in 2000 and 2001. … Then, after 9/11, the show basically shut down, and we went to Europe for the first three months and came to Vegas for a weekend, and we did real well at the Rio. … After that weekend, they made a deal and we moved here. So I’ve been here 10 years.
Q: Are Las Vegas audiences different than audiences elsewhere?
A: In Europe, for sure. The women in Europe are really critical about the (production) of the show. They really appreciate the show (production values) more than, I would say, American women, who are more aggressive.
Q: They’re not critiquing the lighting design?
A: Right (laughs). They (American women) want to know when you’re going to take it off and they want to know what’s coming off next.
Q: What does your wife think about your job? And please say you met her when she was in the audience during a show.
A: (Laughs) It was not in the show. She’s from Brazil, and she’s awesome, and she keeps me in line.
Q: She doesn’t get jealous?
A: Know what? If she does, she does a good job of hiding it.

Jake Pavelka to be celebrity guest host for Chippendales in Las Vegas
Chippendales, the ultimate Las Vegas “Girls Night Out,” is about to get even hotter when reality show star, Jake Pavelka (ABC’s “The Bachelor” and “Dancing with the Stars,”) takes the stage as the celebrity guest host for a Spring residency (February 23rd – March 18th, Thursdays through Sundays).
During his limited engagement at Chippendales, Pavelka will use his charm, sex appeal and hosting skills to keep the women entertained while leaving the dancing to the men of Chippendales.
Pavelka will be joining an exclusive roster of guest hosts at Chippendales including Ronnie Magro of “Jersey Shore” and Jeff Timmons of the platinum-selling group 98 Degrees.
The addition of Pavelka, who is still touted as one of America’s most eligible bachelors, will add to the four-week long frenzy as Chippendales celebrates its 10th Anniversary at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino as the venue’s resident “Diamonds in the Buff” (on Friday, February 24th) with nearly 4,000 performances.
Even though Jake won’t be dancing at Chippendales, we all remember he does has a great body and some sexy moves. Check out his “Risky Business” routine from “Dancing With The Stars.” (Coincidentally, Chippendales currently has their own “Risky Business” number. Maybe Jake might join in one night if they crowd gets wild enough?)

Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer show off their ripped physiques in this new still from Magic Mike.
The Steven Soderbergh-directed film will also star Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello and Alex Pettyfer.
“Hard R” is how Channing Tatum describes the rating of ‘Magic Mike’ in a recent interview. Tatum — who himself spent eight months as a stripper in his late teens — says the flick “won’t be anywhere near” an NC-17 rating.
Nice to see Soderbergh appreciates the iconic “cuffs and collars” look of the most famous ladies night out, Chippendales.

Jaymes Vaughan in QVegas Magazine

Very proud to have written the cover story for this month’s issue of QVegas Magazine featuring The Chippendales’ Jaymes Vaughan and his coming out story.
Here’s an excerpt of the article:
Vaughan recently released his first single – “Vampire” – as a solo recording artist. Out of several songs he’s written, he chose this song to be his first for a few reasons. “First, deep down inside, I’m like a five year old boy and I want to play a vampire. I’ve always loved vampire movies and vampire TV shows. So I’m thinking there would be a music video and I’ll get to play a vampire. And I did. For three days I was on the set of my upcoming music video with 72 people running around being a vampire.”
“Second, the song is about being in a situation where you can’t be yourself; where you can’t live a part of your life in the daylight; being in a relationship that I can’t share with my family.“
“Living in the light” is a concept that has recently played itself out in Vaughan’s real life the past few months. He recently came out to his family, and their acceptance coupled with the experience of hosting Las Vegas Pride this year, led him to make the decision to live his life in a more open manner, both personally and professionally.
“Hosting Gay Pride in Las Vegas this year, it was the first time I ‘got it.’ I got up on stage and finally understood what “pride” was about. It’s about being proud of your self and encouraging other people to be proud of themselves. The best, most reassuring thing that happened to me at Pride this year: when I came off stage, a little 12 year old boy came up to me and said ‘I want to do what you do.’ And I was like, that was all I wanted when I was a kid. I wanted someone to look up to.”
“I’m really excited about the possibilities of inspiring someone; the possibilities of changing perceptions. I hope to be able to take advantage of a platform so that my fourteen-year-old self that was sitting in Chesterfield County, Virginia, might find some hope. The fourteen year old that had no one to look up to; whose mama told him he better not be gay; whose church told him he was going to hell; whose best friend killed himself because he didn’t “fit in.” Because he didn’t have any hope. I thought for so long you had to cover up who you were to be successful. I’ve realized you can be more successful by being yourself.”

Chippendales’ Billy Jeffrey with Kim Kardashian and mom Kris
Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner stop to pose for a pic with Chippendales’ Billy Jeffrey at a GNC event.
In addition to being well-known as a Chippendale, Billy is one of the nation’s most successful GNC store owners. Clearly you don’t look like that without knowing the best and healthiest approaches to living well. There’s a reason why he was a finalist on ABC’s “True Beauty.”
Billy has appeared on Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, Dr. Phil, MTV, Jenny Jones, The View, The Ellen Degeneres Show and Maury Povich, where he was voted one of the most memorable guests of the year. All the while, gracing the pages of magazines like People, Life & Style, and US Weekly.
You can see the Kardashians on the many airings of their TV shows, and you can catch Billy (when not overseeing his successful GNC store in Idaho) on tour and in Las Vegas, at the Rio Hotel and Casino, with the Chippendales.
I know who I’d rather run into…
