Gawker: defamer, jesse metcalfe

From Shirtless Innocent to Shirtless Rebel

Richard Lawson — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:38:00 EDT

Jesse Metcalfe was dumped from ABC lady soap Desperate Housewives (where he played a sexy boy toy gardener), starred in a PSA about Choices called John Tucker Must Die, went to rehab, and has now, according to new photos, reemerged, grizzled and with one large pectoral muscle. Not exactly sure what he's trying to tell us with this latest look other than that he's now "tough" (note the presence of chest hair!) and evidently smokes. (Oh and he's in a new action movie costarring Chace Crawford! Badass!) The photo at right is part of a group that was uploaded, sadly, to his MySpace page. Thanks, but no thanks Jesse. Click through for larger image, and for an awful trailer for his sooo cooooool movie Loaded. [Picture on right via ohlala mag]

Getting To Know Your Jesse Metcalfe Bashers: Introducing Mams Taylor

Seth — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:10:26 EST

With so little to go on as far as the identity of the squat, musclebound bruiser who gave Jesse Metcalfe a licking outside Boulevard 3 last night, we were thrilled to learn that In Touch has now officially unmasked the mystery clocker: It was Mams Taylor, who, as it turns out, is not an ugly stereotype of elderly African-American woman, but an aspiring rapper, and Taryn Manning's boyfriend of four months. Mams's MySpace page has been flooded with visitors since news spread of his vigilantism, praising him for expressing in flying knuckles what they could never quite put into words. His first statement on the incident is after the jump:

"I'm an old-fashioned guy and I stood up for my woman," Mamms [sic] says. "Jesse said some inappropriate things and when I tried to diffuse the situation he grabbed my neck so out of self-defense I knocked him right on his ass." "He didn't get in one good punch but to Jesse's credit I lost one of my shoes," Mamms continues. According to an insider, Mamms, a music producer and artist, received over 17,000 hits to his MySpace page when news of the incident hit the web. "Mamms doesn't start fights but he finishes them," his pal says. "Jesse picked on the wrong guy and that's why he got knocked out."

Let that be a lesson to you, Metcalfe: We don't got room for your Mannin'-harassin' kind in this town. It's something the fading Desperate Housewives star and tenacious scene-rat won't likely soon forget, as he wakes up screaming to the recurring nightmare that ends just before a fist, with the letters M, A, M, and S tattooed on each finger, connects with his face.

Cold-Cocking Jesse Metcalfe: Famous Person Eats Knuckle-Sandwich!

Seth — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:48:25 EST

The cold-cocking of a minor celebrity outside a swanky Hollywood nightclub is hardly an uncommon experience, yet every time you see one—and thanks to TMZ's sleep-deprived video stormtroopers you are about to—it's as if you're experiencing the exhilarating adrenalin rush for the very first time.

What, exactly, caused a friendly sidewalk exchange between Jesse Metcalfe and Taryn "Hustle & Flow" Manning to result in a knuckle-sammy to the meticulously manicured face of the career-doomed Desperate Housewives gardener, we perhaps shall never know. Even more tragically, all dreams of meting out some D-list street-justice were dashed by club security, who held Metcalfe back, telling him to "Sh-sh-sh...Bouts over pretty-boy," before patting him on his crispy hair and sending him on his way.
