While watching the second season of Queer Eye I decided that Bobby Berk is my favorite one (after Jonathan, who is everyone’s favorite by default) mostly because A.) I have an obvious respect for grown men who go by Bobby as adults, and B.) I came to the realization that in addition to being Bobby, I am probably “a Bobby”—just a regular ol’ Bobby—due to the fact that I lack Karamo’s grace, Jonathan’s confidence, Antoni’s biceps, and Tan’s fashion sense. Also maybe I could see myself throwing hamburgers at someone who called me a “rude” name.
Per documents published by Radar Online this week, Bobby Berk was once arrested for disorderly conduct (a charge later amended to “misdemeanor receiving stolen property”) and ordered to do 100 hours of community service for chuckin’ burgers at the staff of a Florida restaurant.
Writes Radar:
While in Miami with a group of friends, Berk entered a sushi restaurant at 12:18 a.m. and suddenly became involved in a “verbal/hamburger throwing incident,” according to an arrest report.
“The defendant was called a rude name after being asked to leave for bringing another establishment’s food in to this establishment,” a police officer on the scene wrote. “The defendant responded to the rudeness by throwing his hamburgers.”
Bobby was clearly in the wrong here, and—oh my god!—never be rude to people in the service industry unless, you know, they do something as indefensible as calling you a slur for no reason. (That does not appear to be what happened here.) But after throwing burgers like a petulant child and causing a scene, he did his time, grew from the experience, and went on to bigger and better things! I guess being a Bobby ain’t so bad.
And now, a quote from Paul Rudd:
“Whenever I hear actors refer to themselves as artists or talking about ‘the craft’ or ‘the work’, I’m like, give me a break. Artist? Picasso was an artist. You sound like a twat.”

- Gus Kenworthy and his boyfriend named their new dog Birdie “because birds were one of [their late dog] Beemo’s favorite things in the world.” This is cute, I guess, but also birds are one of every dog’s favorite things in the world, because they want to kill the birds. [Just Jared]
