WE SMELL SOME BULL&$%#
In the category of “blink and you missed it,” Hell’s Kitchen’s newest gay club, Bull Moose, is already no more—after just two weeks in business. According to publicist Matt Belanger, owner Dave Sheeran booted the gay contingency out, complaining “I can’t deal with all these fags.’ “We are still in shock,” says Belanger, “The project is over and we are all devastated. All the hard work, all the planning down the drain because one man can't deal with his prejudices. The funny part is, we were told, Sheeran wanted it to be turned into a gay bar to begin with, due to poor income. "It was finally turning a profit! says Belanger. Whether this is an acutaly homophobic incident, sour grapes  or a business deal gone bad, we’ll have to wait and see.

Superstar DJ Tracy Young, who's spinning at Splash on April 24, hopped around a bit before her recent move to New York. "My heart will always be in Miami nut after so many years there, I [moved] to L.A. Big mistake—I was barely off the plane before I got entangled in all the Hollywood drama," says Young. Drama like  getting chummy with Real Housewives star Kim  Zolciak? Their supposed split hasn't soured Young's love for her new home, though. "[New York] is fabulous, fun and happening! I might just might be staying here a while!" And she won't be tardy for the party.

DJ Tracy Young spins at John Blair Saturdays on April 24 at Splash, 50 W 17th St (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), SplashBar.com, $20.

“This was my first performance period with my new music!” exclaimed an exuberant and surely exhausted Laura Bell Bundy after her first set of songs  at Splash's John Blair Saturdays. Bringing remixed versions off of her new country album Achin' and Shakin', Bundy transformed before our eyes from Broadway princess (of Hairspray, Wicked and Legally Blonde fame) to pop diva with the aid of sexy dancers and buxom backup singers.
 
“I’ve heard it said that you [should] give your music back to your fans first,” said Bundy, “and the gays have always been my first fans! Like they said in Sex And The City: ‘First the gays, then the girls and then the rest!’” —Christopher Dilley
