Dang, her first album — the Christian gospel one — didn’t cause as much trouble as her second, titled One of the Boys.

The women in the office swoon for a name like Salvatore. So dapper. Polite. A man so kind to his mother. But there’s a reason Mr. Romano is without a Missus, isn’t there? Yep, because he prefers his mate to look as handsome in a pinstriped suit as he does.

What, there’s a gay somebody in a Guy Ritchie flick? Yes, that would be Handsome Bob (Tom Hardy). He’s treated as if he’s one of the guys — cussin’, shootin’, hittin’ on his fellow gangsta Gerard Butler (pictured above) ya know. The purported anti-gay Ritchie even sticks in some imagery of
