A few weeks back, our cheeks turned rosy with shock over the “Tub Talk with Sara B.” scandal, involving Hooksexup's own Sara B. and actor Craig Bierko. This week New York mag interviewed Bierko about John Malkovich, Sara B., and the (coughstolencough) ideas behind his new video series:
“So this woman on hooksexup.com, Sara Benincasa, who has long interviewed people in their tubs on a thing called "Tub Talk," is claiming you stole her idea. True?
I don't really have a response to that. My idea behind this whole thing was, I wanted to take the false intimacy of a talk show, of two guys wearing makeup, and turn the intimacy up as much as I could. I thought of people sitting in the bathtub yammering at each other, and I could see how other people could have come up…I’d never seen her show before.
She suggests you could set things aright by having her on your tub show. Will you?
Probably not. Not to insult her, but we've set the bar pretty high with John [Malkovich].”
Ooh, SNAP! “I don't really have a response to that"? Does that mean “yes”? Does that mean “no”? Or does it mean what Sara B. thinks it means?
Call her Bierko! She’ll rock your world. Or at least scrub your back…
