Ben Patrick Johnson was born 30 Jun 1969 in Tucson, Arizona. "Johnson's first national exposure came in 1994 when he was chosen as co-host for ''Extra'', an entertainment-magazine show. Extra demoted Johnson to on-air correspondent shortly after he came out as homosexual in the gay press..." (''Ben Patrick Johnson'', Wikipedia). He wrote a book ''In and Out in Hollywood'' about this experience, which you can see [http://bpjclients.com/inandoutinhollywood/index.html here]. His book published by Palari Books, appears on their website [http://www.palaribooks.com/details.asp?id=1 here]. The book has been lightly fictionalized but appears to be fairly-well based on his own personal experience with Extra. | Ben Patrick Johnson was born 30 Jun 1969 in Tucson, Arizona.

From at least 2006 to 2007, Ben hosted an online video program called ''Left Coast''. On his more popular episode (two million views), he interviewed [[Paul Lekakis]] whom he there describes as "his neighbor". The last videos appear to date from five months ago. His Wikipedia article states that the video program was put on hiatus so he could persue his writing. As recently as Feb 2008, Ben was active in editing his own entry at Wikipedia, so it's possible he himself wrote that comment. | From at least 2006 to 2007, Ben hosted an online video program called ''Left Coast''.
