I saw this article in the New York Daily News today on the gossip page. Isn't this something? This former gay porn actor, and former boyfriend of Calvin Klein, now attended a Fire Island party, and got angry when he was bumped into by gay men, claiming he's straight. Isn't life strange?

Nick Gruber got in a tussle at a Fire Island party where he announced he is straight.
Calvin Klein’s boy toy Nick Gruber hit a Fire Island party over the weekend at Lucas Entertainment CEO and porn king Michael Lucas’ house, where things didn’t go so smoothly for Klein’s sometime boyfriend.
The bash, called “Ascension,” kicked off under a large VIP tent, complete with dance floor, which Gruber crashed, announcing he was now straight.
“I saw this arrogant guy who was being rude to people, shoving two guys away after they bumped into him,” Lucas tells Confidenti@l. “He yelled, ‘Keep your hands away from me! I’m straight!’ ”
Lucas said he went over to Gruber, a former porn star, demanding to know why he was being so rude. The porn producer says Gruber replied, “I am straight, and I don’t want any gay people to touch me.”
Lucas then told Gruber that he wanted him to leave the premises.
“Then he started with, ‘Do you know who I am?’ ” Lucas tells us. “I told him that I don’t know, and I don’t even want to know.”
Lucas said Gruber grew angrier, allegedly yelling “Try me” while Lucas hailed security.
“I had him hauled away without his feet even touching the floor,” he said.
One partygoer then explained to Lucas that the screaming man was Calvin Klein’s ex-boyfriend, who just “came out as straight.”
“I guess he came to the gay party to let everyone know,” Lucas said.
Earlier this month we reported that Klein’s headline-grabbing ex was trying to remake his tarnished image with help from a publicist hired by the famous designer.
Gruber is being advised by Matt Rich, who previously worked for Klein and tried to remodel Stephen Baldwin’s image.
In July, Gruber had a bloody dustup at the East Hampton club Pink Elephant, with one man taken away by ambulance. Gruber was interviewed by police, but no charges have been filed.
The PR help isn’t the only lavish gift Gruber has received from his wealthy ex. Last year the designer reportedly paid for Gruber’s $35,000 Arizona rehab stint and flew him there on his private jet. The designer also paid two years advance rent on Gruber’s West Village apartment and covered pricey medical bills when he broke his finger skiing.
A rep for Gruber told us that his client was invited by friends who also hosted the party and that he only acted out after being bothered by fellow guests.
“Nick has privately apologized to Michael Lucas for overreacting,” Gruber’s spokesperson said.
