Richard Simmons Gives Boy Pap a Complex

Posted Dec 24th 2007 12:08PM by TMZ Staff

The patron Santa of chubby folks, Richard Simmons, made a gender blunder that unraveled a 14-year-old boy.

The paparazzi, including one pint-sized, curfew-challenged photog, caught the loquacious exercise guru outside his studio in Los Angeles over the weekend, where Simmons invited the paps inside for a little holiday refreshments.

Simmons seemed especially fond of the wee paparazzo, inquiring how old "she" is. Poor Austin was so horrified, he ran out of the shop. Eventually, someone set him straight. Or at least tried.

1. Why does he always wear those short shorts with his wrinkled balls hanging from between one leg of the shorts? Those balls are "SWEATING TO THE OLDIES"!

7. You won't find a much kinder person anywhere. Richard tries to put his heart out into the Universe.
If I lived in L.A., I would definitely frequent his club. If it is his club, lol.

14. He is a flaming queen, but he's a really good, sweet person who wishes well for others. Cut him some slack people.

15. Those shorts are his trademark. He probably has dozens of pairs, and is instantly recognizeable in them. I just got all the old Simmons dancing aerobic vids at a fleamart and do them for a change of pace. My husband laughs at me, but I am fit.
