If you've been watching "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" every week, you probably spotted a black Fab Fiver pop up in a few of the episodes. His name is Blair Boone and he was the original culture guy but was replaced with Jai Rodriguez after just two episodes by the show's producers, who felt Boone's straight-laced demeanor didn't jive with the funky, queer eye vibe. Well, now that the show is a huge hit, Boone is suing the show's producers (What a surprise!) for breach of contract and is asking for a measly $105,000 in damages because he says he quit his job at Metrosource magazine to be on the show.
