Tyson Beckford Coaches ET’s Cameron Mathison On “How To Be A Chippendale”

Super model Tyson Beckford, currently headlining as the Celebrity Guest Host at Chippendales in Las Vegas, issued a challenge to Entertainment Tonight host Cameron Mathison to come take “the Beckford boot camp” to see if the TV host could cut it as a Chippendale.

Aided by Chipps cast mates, Tyson taught Mathison through secrets of being a Chippendale.

Apparently, “the shirt rip” is not quite as easy as it looks. Fortunately, Mathison had expert backup with Beckford and the men of Chippendales.

Then there’s the pre-show workout before Tyson brought Mathison onstage before a live audience to show-off a bit of what he’d learned.

And the crowd goes wild…

Tyson Beckford’s run at Chippendales has been extended due to popular demand, so head out to Vegas and check him and the Chipps out at the Rio Hotel and Casino.

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.
