Former Cobalt Bartending Hunk Hits It with Britney…
Hearsay doesn't get all the hype over Britney "She's So Shameless" Spears's new single "Womanizer." How is it possible it's her first No. 1 since her debut nearly 10 years ago, with "Baby One More Time?" Hmm, hello, what about "Toxic, "Crazy," or "Gimme More?" Certainly she created a sensation with "Lose Your Head and Shave Your Kids" — or was it the other way around? Anyway, "Womanizer" may be on track to be her biggest ever: It just soared to the top of the Hot 100 faster than any other song, climbing 95 spots in one week's time. Let’s count, shall we? 95… 94… 93… 1!
Maybe the cute video accounts for the success. Have you seen it? Say, doesn't that boy, frequently shirtless and more, look familiar? The celebrity blogs have been agog about just who Brandon "Sex On The Beach, Please" Stoughton is. "Boy don't try to front, I know exactly what you are," the Brit says, as she throws Stoughton around. Hearsay knows exactly what he is, too: A former Cobalt bartender! Cobalt manager Jason "Put on Your Dancin’ Shoes" Royce confirmed to Hearsay that Stoughton used to shake and stir at the 17th Street institution for several years. A couple years ago, Stoughton left D.C. to find fame and fortune as a model in Los Angeles. Looks like he’s well on his way….
