Sometimes VH1 can be damaging. Last night after getting home from my weird math/dance class I came in plopped down on my couch turned on the tv for some mindless relief and what did I come across?
Greatest teen stars 1-100.
Normally the countdown type shows do not attract my attention...this one though kept me hooked for the entire show. It's like a walk down memory lane mixed with a bit of "where are they now". I was entranced and very happy to have stumbled on this pop culture history lesson...
That was until they got to Chad Allen.
Chad Allen...the crush of my childhood. I had his pictures taped up all over my walls, I think I wrote in my poochie diary quoting Miss Judy Jetson that he was "the spaciest".
Who could resist that blonde haired, blue eyed fast talker with a mug like a prince?
Not I. I mean look at him.


So what happened to this stud?
Well, he showed up on Vh1 and as soon as I saw him on the countdown I geared up with such anticipation to find out where my love was and what he had been up to.
Then they said it...
Chad Allen is gay now, and can't get any work so he runs a small theater in LA.
They said this.
He said this...he actually says "I came out, and there was no more work, so now I run a small theater in L.A."
He's gay.
I mean good for him for coming out and being proud. But back to me...
I spent a majority of my childhood loving a gay teen heart throb. I am scared to go back to that show to find out that there may be more of these instances than my psyche can handle.
I mean seriously...Chad Allen is Gay.
I might as well get the bird flu, cause nothing matters anymore.
