Alcohol and Drag Queens

Good morning NZYTers

After the thrilling events of this month’s Twitter meltdown, things seem to have smoothed over in the past week. Patrick (patrickblog) has changed his mind and decided he will be coming to the NZYT Gathering after all. Charlie (charlieskies) is still a big question mark.

With Stephen (3sixty5days) still confirmed as coming, latest reports are that Jess (jessums31) has put all effort into wooing him at the NZYT Gathering. Rumour has it Jess is hoping their long standing relationship will go to the next level in July. Stephen has been spotted leaving Jess flirty comments across the internet. I am following this story closely.

The stress that the NZYT community has been under lately seems to be driving some to the bottle. Simon (simonparasite) seems to be following the lead of Tenani (nanisnap), NZYT’s most prolific drunk, in drowning his sorrows with alcohol. The following recording features a Simon under-the-influence in a call to Tenani, reportedly in the early hours of the morning. Perhaps he was calling for support or advice from the town drunk. Check out the recording Here

It is a widely known fact that Lewis (lewisbostock) recently featured in the Auckland stage play The Libertine, in a role which required him to act effeminate and wear a wig. Lewis must have liked his role a little too much, with the latest email saying that he still frequently dresses in women’s clothing. The following photos are from a publicity shoot for The Libertine:

What happened to Rachel (wizardneedsfoodbadly)? In the past few months the once prominent YouTuber has moved to the outside of the social scene. What could her reasons be to leave such a valued position in the hierarchy? My money’s on an unexpected pregnancy… either that or university coursework. Which do you believe? A reason based on probability? Or one that’s just plain juicy? I know which one I’d prefer.

That’s all from me right now.

The Countdown Begins

Hello YouTubers

I thought it appropriate to update you on the community given the anniversary just reached. Last week marked two months until the New Zealand YouTube Gathering, which is sure to be the gossip event of the year. That’s not to say that the past month has been drama free… Au contraire the past thirty days have been anything but dry in the world of NZ YouTube, so allow me to update you on the juiciest bits…

A double announcement in Gathering attendees hit last week with news that Irish YouTuber Stephen (3sixty5days) and English YouTuber Charlie (charlieskies) have decided to make the trip to New Zealand. Almost as soon as the dust settled from this announcement rumours began to fly about reasons for this trip. It is common knowledge that Patrick (patrickblog) has fallen deeply in like with Ireland’s Hottest TV Personality. Problem is Patick has a boyfriend, while Stephen and Charlie have made it clear they have feelings for each other. What other reason would Charlie have to come to NZ if not to keep an eye on his Irish boytoy? What remains to be seen is whether the Brit gets his boy back or Patrick feels the luck of the Irish.

More from the Gathering and it turns out Australian comic YouTuber Chris (chrisontv88) will no longer be attending, as was previously announced. Little is known about the reasons for his true change of heart, but I’m betting it has something to do with the rumoured ‘Australian Blacklist’ campaign the NZYT community has against Australian YouTubers ever since the Wellington Fiasco this past summer. I’m sure you can dig something more up, email me.

Self-proclaimed ‘Queen of NZYT’ Jess (jessums31) has allegedly had trouble organising sleeping arrangements for the visiting Tubers, with Denise (neechers), James (tehdancingkiwi), Corey (storycorey), Juno (junoluvsu), Simon (simonparasite) and Cameron (englishcameron) all staying over. Sounds like a slumber party I’d like to be at. Turns out James and Corey don’t like being lovers scorned by Patrick waving his new school-aged boyfriend in front of them. Something tells me there’s going to be a lot of avoidence going on when it comes to these three. As for Juno, things have changed since the last time she was in the city. I also have a feeling she will be avoiding Ben (bennysoup)’s house for the length of her trip. Word on the street is J got left outside alone when Ben flipped and bailed on the romance that was public knowledge. Bad form, BennySoup… you know how karma’s a bitch? We hear a Juno scorned can be too. Watch out.

In keeping with news from the Gathering it seems the wheels are in motion for what will prove to be a memorable day, and an even more memorable night in the NZYT world… Rumour has it that after party plans are already well in the works, with this guest list being exclusively a who’s who of the NZYT scene. Getting your name on this list would be like getting the YT Editor to feature a video you sent in, it just doesn’t happen. Plus, no event could come more packed with potential drama than this one. After everything that has come to light in this post, I’m sensing a late night battle royale for affections come July 11.

Finally we will get to see what happens when the cameras come down and the claws come out.

I can’t wait.

BoysBoysBoys.

Hello readers. I haven’t posted in a while, I apologise for this. Gossip has been slow, except for this story I received the other day.

Rumour has it that Stephen (3sixty5days) has slowly forged a place in the NZYT community, first finding his way into the heart of the self-appointed “queen” of NZYT, Jess (Jessums31).

Sources tell me, however, that Stephen has moved on to resident gay vlogger Patrick (Patrickblog). Constant tweeting at each other, and questionable DailyBooth threads have lead members of the community to believe that there is more than just a “friendship” blooming there.

Sources also reveal that Stephen has already booked flights to come to New Zealand in the december holidays, while he is in Australia. Will this lead to a foreign booty call with Patrickblog? Time will tell.

In other scandalous news, it seems things between Jade (marshmallowjade) & Asad (tiktoxic) are only escalating, after constant Twitters back & forth.

Jade and Asad have even given each other pet names (“Dr No” & “Happy Flower”). This can only give us a small glimpse into their love affair. Maybe there’s some sort  of role playing going on behind closed doors? Apparently Jade is quite ‘energetic’.

And lastly today, it seems that Jay (overwelmingodds) has plans to take over New Zealand.

Photos posted on Jay’s DailyBooth account show him meeting with former Prime Minister Helen Clark, who he calls “one of [his] biggest idols”, and current Labour Party leader Phil Goff. Does this mean we could soon have a YouTuber running New Zealand? What plans for NZ does Jay have in store? Let’s see what happens.

As usual, send me the goss: nzytgossip@gmail.com
