Ted Casablanca (born Bruce Wallace Bibby; November 20, 1960) is an American entertainment journalist and gossip columnist. He had an E! Online column called The Awful Truth, which ran for sixteen years, ending in July 2012. [1] [2]
Casablanca began writing for Premiere magazine in 1987, where he originally conceived his gossip column "The Awful Truth" before transferring it to E! in 1996 as a weekly (later daily) column. He regularly presented it on E! Television and sometimes appeared as a correspondent and commentator for various E! Television events. Casablanca earned notoriety for delving into the personal lives and relationships of celebrities in "The Awful Truth"; Casablanca often attributed pseudonyms to the subjects of his pieces, and garnered attention with his satirical speculation on the secret sexuality of particular celebrities. [2] As Bruce Bibby, he has written for a number of entertainment magazines and has been a contributor to the television magazine Hard Copy. Casablanca was also the gallery owner of Ted Casablanca Gallery in Palm Springs, California. [3]
Casablanca appeared on several television series, usually as a commentator, but he has also appeared as himself on Grosse Pointe [4] and, more recently, in an episode of General Hospital in February 2007. [5]
Bruce Wallace Bibby (Ted Casablanca) was born November 20, 1960, in Dallas county Texas to Robert and Alice Wallace Bibby. [6] Casablanca also earned a degree in sculpture from the California Institute of the Arts before turning to journalism. [7]
According to his own column, Casablanca married Jon Powell in Hawaii in May 2008. [8] But on September 16, 2009, Casablanca announced that he and Powell had, after a separation, decided to end their union. [9] Casablanca was also notably paired with actor Harvey Fierstein from 1987 to 1992. [10] Casablanca now resides in Carmichael, California. [11]
I'm getting married in less than a week, [...] woo-friggin'-hoo!
But for Harvey Fierstein, Bibby's partner from 1987 to 1992, the difference between the two is clear. 'Bruce Bibby is a real person. Ted Casablanca is a son of a bitch. Bruce puts his worst ego in Ted.'
