Now … let me preface this entire post with the caveat that NONE of this is confirmed and, at this point, it is ALL speculation … but … the industrious kids at ONTD! stumbled upon what might be a photo of R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe posing with his iPhone and with a couple of young male compatriots. Apparently, there is a semi-pornographic site called Guys with iPhones that allows guys with iPhones to post photos of themselves for all the world to see. These photos are predominately risque and oftentimes NSFW … yes folks, there is a lot of p33n in the photos. Last weekend a set of photos were submitted that were all posted at the same time, seem to have been taken in the same bathroom and MIGHT feature one R.E.M. frontman. Here is the photo in question … do you think it looks like Michael Stipe?
To be honest, I think the guy in this photo looks a bit too young and buff to be Michael Stipe … but there is a striking resemblance. Could it really be him? And if so, he is just showing off his hot young mostly nekkid male friends for everyone to see? After the jump, check out three more photos that were posted, one of which may be a photo of Stipe‘s boyfriend Thomas Dozol
HMMM … to be honest, I’m not 100% convinced that the first photo is of Michael Stipe and the second photo is of Thomas Dozol … I mean, it could be them but … I dunno. I’d say I’m 90% sure … which is still pretty high ;) In any event, it’s very plausible that Stipe could’ve posted his photo along with the photos of his young friends … and, on that account, I can’t be mad at him. What do y’all think … is it him?
Trent – best site ever, GWiP is second best!!
It’s totally him. For sure.
i dunno. the second guy doesn’t look like thomas dozol. he looks too young and too lean. i’d like to think michael stipe is a smart guy and wouldn’t be stupid enough to do something like this. i’m saying, not him.
In the picture that you linked of Michael & his boyfriend, he looks exactly like the person in the shower. They have the exact same glasses and goatee. Looks like it’s him to me! If it’s not he’s the best impersonator ever.
It’s Mr. Stipe in the first picture. I think he was doing it just for fun. And it’s not his boyfriend in any of the other!! He looks a lot better than that, just search for pictures of him and you’ll see how beautiful he is. :-)
ok.. I totally do NOT think its him
Yep. Thats him. 2 guys…really?
ps: the comments on that “guys with iphones” website… HYSTERICAL.
i’m just saying that Michael Stipe is notorious for being camera shy
and thanks for *turning me on* to GWiP
It sure looks like him…
Tooooootally him.
He’s too buff to be Michael Stipes, sorry!
I know for a fact that is Stipe. I know the other knuckleheads too.
LOL ofcourse it’s him and one of the other guys is his boyfriend, what a slut!
Wouldn’t Michael Stipe have a fancier bathroom? I’ve met him and I’m not sure it’s him.
Seriously, I have a nicer bathroom than that. Cheap common bathroom tile, metals rods? plastic shower curtain? It’s either A. totally him and purposely staged in his friends mother’s bathroom (is that gold bond?) or B. Totally not him and staged in somebodys mothers bathroom(is that gold bond?)
I don’t think it’s Michael, but this person does look very similar.
wow, who cares?
It’s definitely him. Same exact bone structure and glasses. He is very fit looking in real life although clothes cover up the six pack. Click on the link Trent posted about the boyfriend-Stipe has a collection of photos all about shirtless people in mirrors in his apartment. could be a fetish?
