Is He or Isn't He?



Hmm.(image via sportsillustrated)

Is Dr. Ian Smith a "friend," or is he a ... "longtime companion." Frankly, we're vexed. What precisely does Jean Strahan mean by an "alternative lifestyle"? Is she speaking of whips-chips-chains-dips, or is she alluding to something -- how does one say it? -- along the lines of a moist "Midnight Express" scenario? It's all gravy with The Corsair, whatever one does: Just -- the silence is killing us. From today's NYPost:

"Gap-toothed Giant Michael Strahan says he'll never marry again.
The sack king, in the midst of his second bitter divorce and reeling from a remark his wife made about his 'alternative lifestyle,' discussed his marriage and his sexual preferences yesterday during a brief phone call to WBLS/107.5 FM radio personality Wendy Williams.

" ... Strahan's on-air call to the station came while Williams was interviewing his good friend, TV commentator Dr. Ian Smith.

"Strahan's wife Jean dropped a bombshell Tuesday - telling reporters that after her marriage fell apart, her husband moved in with Smith and the two enjoyed an 'alternative lifestyle' together. Asked if Smith was his best friend, Strahan told Williams, 'he's one of them.'

Here's The Corsair's favorite part:

"After his radio show call, Strahan, wearing a long-sleeved white T-shirt and shorts, jogged from his Greenwich Village apartment to the nearby apartment of Smith's twin brother, Dana, a fashion executive, and the two continued on to the Crunch gym on Christopher Street.

"They split up briefly when a Post photographer approached."

Jesus, guys. "Fashion executive," "Christopher Street," "shorts." Were there, like, Sweeney Todd tickets in his back pocket? What are you really trying to say? (NYPost)
