That's Your Boyfriend: NBC Chairman Ben Silverman "Singing" Topless

thumbnail icon: That's Your Boyfriend: NBC Chairman Ben Silverman "Singing" Topless

Maybe everyone wouldn't give youthful NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman such a hard time if he didn't do things like get Rob Morrow (Northern Exposure) to tape him "singing the blues" while Fisher Stevens (Short Circuit) played harmonica in their fancy extra-plush towels in the ritzy locker room of their luxury ski resort in this video that went up on YouTube last night. I don't know why it exists, it's not even funny (or intelligible!). Nice necklace, dude!

The worst thing about this is the fact that, since it's been up for over 12 hours, that means Ben Silverman WANTS it up and WANTS us to see it. (Via NY Mag's Daily Intel.)

I think he's allowing this to be up because he wants to show off his "ripped" bod (like Marc Jacobs), yet he's not "ripped" and should keep his shirt on (like Marc Jacobs).

Fuck that noise. Marc Jacobs is hot.*

which is disgusting because he's definitely older than my parents. this nbc guy, on
the other hand, is just old and very vanilla.

*I think that tape on his shoulders in the pic is holding his skin together. aggressive body tuck, maybe?

He was definitely in the running for Captain Of All Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians.

I call the change an improvement. ...and this post has definitely taken a turn for THE WORST in the comment section.

he LOOKS a lot better now, but his clothes suck now so it's ultimately not much of an upgrade

The guy associated with Short Circuit. LOLZ. That's way worse than wearing a size XL Just Jack shirt. On a dare. Way.

Hey Now! He's got the blues obviously because didn't get his Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Not because he's a "fratasshole".

heh. it's amazing what a few years, bad tattoos, vegaism, human growth hormone, and self-tanner can do to an otherwise attractive man.

Of course he wants you to see it. He worked hard on it and thinks it's fucking hilarious. He's very proud of his lil nugget.

I think this serves as a nice 1-minute allegory for all of Hollywood. Unfunny, half-naked, filmed and disseminated for no apparent reason. (I said disseminated, right?)
