Big Brother cast-off embraces porn past

Having a gay porn past doesn't seem to be hurting ex-Big Brother contestant James Zinkland. In last week's season finale the bisexual Zinkland claimed the prize for favorite castmate and took home $25,000.

Later, CBS in Los Angeles asked him about his appearance in adult videos. He replied, "I had sex with dudes. It doesn’t blow my mind ... it shouldn’t blow your mind, you know? I just did it on tape, you know? And I did it in an environment that was conducive where I didn’t have to worry about a lot of things going wrong."

And he knew his little secret would eventually get out. "Absolutely. I was okay with it, I was comfortable with it, I was very open with it, but I didn’t want to bring it out on the show because…a lot of people are homophobic. Even with the bisexual thing, people were like, ‘Ooh!’ "

With the extra cash we can only hope he considers a new hair style ...
