Ben's either very, very gay and super closeted, or he's bi. I have interacted with him at a charity function and my gaydar went THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!!!!!!! Handsome guy but more along the lines of a Ken Doll than a hot hunk. Too "vanilla" for my taste. I wonder why news channels don't hire more cutting edge anchors than these Ken and Barbie Dolls. I just can't take them seriously. Whenever I'd watch them together, I'd swear I was in a toy store. Erika Tarantal is so much more REAL!!
