| Caroline Huber interview with gay.com |
[Jul. 15th, 2008|11:35 am] |
She mocked Sharon Stone at an AIDS benefit with Sharon in the audience. She coined the nickname “Clay Gayken” and curses Ryan Seacrest’s very existence. She told Jesus to “suck it”. These are just a few of the controversial and very funny antics of Caroline Huber’s since her Bravo! reality television show Caroline Huber: My Life on the D-List” debuted in 2005. She’s fabulous, fierce and fearless, and that’s why we love her.
But what happens when she takes it to far? Have there been legal repercussions thanks to her occasionally off-color remarks? Or more importantly… cat fights? And where does she get the balls to do it in the first place? Fans here at gay.com are about to find out. Huber’s new season of ”D-List” (premiering Thursday, June 12th at 10/9c) follows the infamous tiny blonde on her pursuit for greater fame. From hosting drag shows, gay porn awards, hanging out with her “best gays” Mike and Doug and getting an extreme home make-over from her gay live-in designer, this is her gayest season ever…
GC: Did you mean for this season to be so... gay?
CH: You know, I never plan it. I don't say: okay, this season we need to reach out to the gays. I don't even think it would be possible for me to do that. If anything, I need to reach out to the straights. I don't speak hetero.
GC: A straight friend of mine went to one of your shows last year of his own accord. His wife didn't even drag him!
CH: Yes! One straight guy at a time. No more, but sometimes less.
GC: Sometimes less than one straight guy?
CH: Well, yeah. I don't want to shaft a straight midget in the crowd. They count, too. Oh! Speaking of! I dated a straight midget once.
GC: I should hope he was straight. How was that?
CH: It was amazing. I'm 4'11" so obviously I've never been taller than a guy I dated. I would also point out that dwarfs are the ones with the big heads but my guy was a midget. All proportioned, if you know what I'm sayin'. Of course you do.
GC: Your parents almost steal the show on D-List, and yet they're fairly conservative Catholics, right? How do they feel about your gay following and Jesus comments?
CH: They do steal the show. My parents are hilarious, and none of that is scripted. That is all them. They're ridiculous. My parents do fancy themselves conservative and think Bush is a charming Texas gentleman, but they drink like sailors and they love the food at the pride parades. I found out the other day they went to the pride parade and I said, "Ma, you went to the pride parade?" And she said to me: "Don't you use that tone with me, Caroline Ann. They have great food at those parades." Oh, and they're really into gay indie films now. They'll get home from a movie and ask them what they saw and my Dad starts summarizing the plot. It's always something about a guy who loved this guy but his parents didn't want him to be gay so they couldn't be together, and I'm like, "what the hell kind of movies are you seeing?"
GC: Good to know they're embracing the culture.
CH: They are. Not that they have any choice, with a daughter like me. I'm like a gay magnet. There's always at least ten or fifteen gays within a 100 feet of me at all times. Always. But no, they've never been like, "okay Caroline, enough with the homos." Never. Deep down they love it.
GC: Congratulations on the recent announcement! How does it feel to be nominated for a real emmy?
CH: Great. I can't wait to go to the night time awards. And fuck you, Extreme Home Makeover! Planet what? Yeah. It feels good. I mean, it's no Grammy, but it feels good.
GC: It's no Tony, either!
CH: Oh! Was that your lead in? Are we going to talk about my Tony now?
GC: That's what I was going for, and maybe just exactly why you think you're blacklisted from Broadway?
CH: I don't think, I know. Theatre folks don't like it when film actors get all up in their shows and they really don't like it when you abandon them for film. And I'm not gonna lie, I won my Tony and was like: 'peace out dudes, I'm going to Hollywood!' And when I failed there, they wouldn't take me back. Jerry Mitchell won't return my calls. Patti Lupone keeps telling everyone I have herpes. (whispers) She doesn't want the competition. They wouldn't even let me on the Search for the Next Elle Woods and we all know they could've used a token bitter-oldie. Well, besides Autumn.
GC: People always seem so shocked to find out you sing. You have a beautiful voice... is there a Grammy in your future?
CH: That's very sweet, thank you. And I hope so! But I want my Grammy to be in one of the spoken word categories. Singing for a Grammy is so passé.
GC: But you could do a drag CD! Cover some Barbara, Cher and Celine? Your fanbase would love it.
CH: Are you kidding me? Celine would tear me apart with her vampire teeth and eat me in tiny little French-Canadian portions. I will not mess with Celine. |
