Drag Race, contestant Sam Star reveals Charles Barkley–yes, Charles Barkley–is part of her family tree. Star says the Basketball Hall of Famer was best friends with her mom in high school, and played a big role in her childhood.

He’s even attended one of Star’s drag performances; and yes, he tipped generously!Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.“I’m sure he’s proud that I’m a drag queen and not a basketball player,” Star quipped.The Alabama-born queen expounded on her relationship with Barkley in an interview with People.“He was always very supportive of us,” she said. “Obviously, he’s a big celebrity always busy doing things.

But whenever he was back in town, he always stopped by and was always very supportive.”Star added that Barkley helped out his mother financially as well. “My mom always struggled financially a lot, working so many jobs.

And he was always someone that she could look to to help us whenever we were drowning,” she offered. “So I owe a lot to him, for us being able to keep our house and all these fabulous things.”On Drag Race, Star showed a picture of the 11-time NBA All-Star at one of her shows.

guy Entertainment Pop relationships UPS Тикеры MET My husband kicked me out of our hotel room for a hookup. Can an open relationship go too far?

Hi Jake,My husband and I are in an open marriage and pretty liberal about it. We don’t really get jealous. There are occasional annoyances, like when he hooks up instead of sticking to plans, but overall, we prioritize communication and trust.That said… last week on vacation in Miami, he met a guy on Grindr and wanted to bring him back to our hotel room. He asked if the guy was open to both of us, but he wasn’t. Then my husband actually asked me to step out so they could have the room to themselves. Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.I was caught off guard but agreed—until I found myself wandering South Beach in the heat for two hours, waiting for the “all clear” text. That’s when frustration set in. How did I end up kicked out of my own hotel room on my own vacation?Usually, our hookups happen elsewhere, but this felt different. Am I overreacting, or did he cross a line? Do I need to set firmer boundaries to prevent this from happening again? Can an open relationship go too far?No VacancyDear No Vacancy,Ah, Miami—sun, sand, and, apparently, a long humid stroll with absolutely nowhere to go while your man enjoyed the comfort of your hotel room! Probably not the kind of relaxation you had in mind when you booked this trip…From what you’ve shared, you and your husband have built a relationship on trust, communication, and a shared understanding that being with others doesn’t threaten your bond — until now.
