WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BARRY WEISS?

It looks like he’s doing just fine. In 2010, when Storage Wars premiered, collector Barry Weiss, 66, became the unexpected sex symbol on the show. (He’s single and wears well-chosen vintage apparel – plus he has a great head of hair.) Women of a certain age bombarded him with fan letters and marriage proposals. Barry says he started collecting vintage stuff (especially cars) years ago, while he was running his wholesale produce business. After he retired he became a reality star on Storage Wars. He left the show in 2013 but he’s still collecting. Above, he had an attractive date for lunch at The Palm in Beverly Hills. We just wonder what kind of car the valet brought around….

DOES “STORAGE WARS” HAVE A FUTURE WITHOUT BARRY WEISS?

Four years ago when Storage Wars debuted on A&E, Barry Weiss happened to be a buddy of one of the producers and agreed to appear on the show as a favor. Like everyone else, he was flabbergasted when the series took off like gangbusters and he got a kick out of becoming famous overnight. Between seasons, Barry visited other cities and made a ton of money making appearances and promoting the show. He and his startling collection of vehicles and his spiffy vintage clothing delighted viewers. Last season Dave Hester left after blabbing about the inner workings of the show. (We saw him selling stuff at the Rose Bowl Flea Market a few months ago.) According to RadarOnline, now Barry wants out so he can travel more. (He doesn’t really need the money) Can the series survive without Barry’s comic relief? We doubt it.

STORAGE WARS MADE BARRY WEISS A ROCK STAR

Storage Wars star Barry Weiss, 61, is far too busy to have a girlfriend these days. Before the show became a hit, Barry was frequently seen with the same younger woman at flea markets and auctions. Now that he’s risen to rockstar status, Barry has no time for relationships. He likes to take off on one of his motorcycles or vintage cars and see the country at the drop of a hat. He’s invited to make personal appearances at resorts and casinos across the country and these events are packed with Barry Weiss “groupies” eager to show him a good time. Storage Wars made the dapper Barry a chick magnet and he’s enjoying every minute.

Storage Wars’ unexpected sex symbol, Barry Weiss, had a “meet n’ greet” appearance recently at the Seminole Casino in Hollywood Florida, and over a thousand fans mobbed the place for autographs and photos. He stayed over four hours to please every one of them. Barry and his collection of vintage shirts seem to be popping up in cities across the country promoting the hit show. According to Starcasm.net, he may even be hosting his own game show called “What Are You Worth?” if the pilot sells. We’d LOVE to take a peek in his closet.

Breakout star from A&E’s top rated reality show “Storage Wars” is 60ish Barry Weiss and he’s proved to be catnip for women of a certain age. Female fans already started a Facebook fan page for their snappily dressed guy. (He admits he’s been single for the last 28 years.) Barry’s got oodles of style – he wears vintage clothing and drives amazing collectible cars, and he’s quick with a wisecrack. A cool cat. Just what women want. Above, he’s strolling in Beverly Hills with a buddy – note the shoes.
