Matt Lauer’s alleged lover a transgendered man

[HMG] – Alexis Houston, the wannabe singer who gained a boat-load of free press by claiming there had been no sexual contact between her and Matt Lauer missed one tiny detail — ‘She’ used to be a dude who called himself Stuart.

It now seems that Alexis was born ‘Stuart Houston’ in 1978. He then changed his first name to ‘Wellington’ and promptly got himself sued by Whitney Houston in 1996 after he scammed an elderly Doctor out of $100,000 by convincing the medical man he and Whitney were cousins.

The cross-dressing con-man then reemerged in 2001 with a debut CD called ‘All’s Well,’ and the reviews were upbeat;

“Whitney Houston’s crown is under threat — from her own cousin!” said Scotland’s ‘Daily Record’ newspaper. “All I want from my family are good wishes,” they even quoted Wellington as saying.

The big switch came in 2007 — the year he and Matt allegedly met on ‘Today.’ Wellington found a male admirer who paid for his sex-change, and the two then got married.

“She told me they got married in Niagara Falls,” says a source who has known the singer for years. “But they’ve since separated.”

On Friday, Houston held a press conference on New York’s West 55th Street, with Gloria Allred in tow, and milked her 15-minutes for all it was worth.

“I feel that my privacy and personal space have been invaded,” she whined at the Post in a fake British accent.

She wants ‘privacy’ and ‘personal space,’ so she hires a press-magnet attorney, holds a press conference and invites all the cameras – because she’s that private…What??

As for the ‘affair’ with Matt Lauer, that story appeared on a low-rent gossip site which has since admitted it made it up to get traffic — The whole tale has no basis in truth.

We’ll let you know what Alexis does next…
