I cannot believe that me and ultra-conservative “View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck would ever have anything in common. But this morning on the chatfest, she talked about how she could not tear herself away from “Celebrity Circus” last night.

Me neither.

I had watched Antonio Sabato Jr. practice his flying silks act a few weeks ago at the training facility and also saw some of the other celebs including Olympian Janet Evans and Christopher Knight of “The Brady Bunch.” So, I wanted to see how it all came together for the show which was hosted by the charming Joey Fatone.

What I had not seen was the gayest judge in the history of competitive reality show television history! Louie Spence was shamelessly flirting with Sabato and Knight after they finished their routines and I thought he was going over the line a bit. If a straight man was that aggressively suggestive with the female contestants, it would not have gone over well and I would have been just as put off by it.
Fatone rolled with it as did the contestants but I think Louie (sitting to the right of fellow judge Mitch Gaylord) should tone it down a bit. He’s a gay man in a visible role right now and makes us all look bad, I think, because so many haters out there are so ready to paint us all with a broad brush anyway.

Just my opinion..

To be fair, Louie was at least just as effusive and flirty with one of the female contestant: the gorgeous Stacey Dash, best known for playing Alicia Silverstone’s best friend in “Clueless.” He said she was making him feel things he didn’t realize he could feel or something like that.
