Considering how hot guys look on crutches, you might think humpy Vinnie D’Angelo would have been a tad more entrepreneurial in trying to raise money to pay for his $5,000 in medical expenses related to his sprained ankle (not to mention the lost wages in canceled appearance fees).
We may never get enough of vintage AMG magazine shots. While his shots may not have the mauled and gunslinging theatrics of a Tico Patterson, Al Vincent still has that naughty next-door- neighbor-kid look about him, the kind of guy who’d just as soon make you suck him off as knock up your sister and knock over a liquor store. Okay, maybe one of these shots makes him look a little nelly, but we have a hunch he grew into that Errol Flynn mustache and became one of the more popular pieces of trade in West Hollywood. (If anyone knows, we’d love to know where he ended up. But for now, we have to be satisfied with what little photographic evidence we have.)
Leo was photographed this weekend on a yacht off of Ibiza, Spain, smoking butts and taking in the view with some binoculars looking decidedly paunchy. On the boat with him were longtime buddy Lucas Haas and at least one unidentified female. We don’t want to deny the boy a good time, and we also like our cheeseburgers, but forgive us if we wish Leonardo DiCaprio would stay as young and thin as we all desire to be. He’s starting to look a little like Jack Nicholson with those angry eyebrows. Pics after the jump…
Athletic Model Guild’s Bob Mizer found some true stars over the years, even if they never became huge names. One who we think deserves another look is Tico Patterson. He did a few star turns in Man O’ Man and Bi-Coastal. But he’s perhaps most fetching in pictures, naked but for his moustache and the occasional prop–we especially love the 70s jogger-pirate one with the pistol aimed at his pistol and the one of him as a football jock with leg cast and missing teeth.
You could say the first-half of this decade was a golden age of sorts for gay porn stars. Not only could they hawk their soiled skivvies for princely sums, but they could also get rich by charging people recurring monthly fees in return for access to their personal websites. Back then, joining usually gave you access to little more than a few sets of images, a message board, and their journal.
How much would you pay for a taste of RJ Danvers? Porn star membership sites may have given way to blogs and MySpace, and while dirty pics are given away free, dozens of stars are selling their dirty laundry. But sales ain’t what they used to be.
It’s been proven that summertime is in full effect, and while much of gay culture spends its time swooning over Madonna or Kylie for the next three months in between repeat screenings of the Sex and the City movie and trips out to Fire Island, we’re feeling (surprise!) a little bit over it. Thankfully we’ve got an iPod filled with far out tunes so we can plug our ears to the house remixes of American Idol cast-offs which will inevitably accompany the gay pride festivities this month in lieu of something with a little more guitar fuzz.
Lauren Hutton showed up on the Today show to chat with Kathie Lee Gifford on, like, womanhood, or something, and she ended up going off on this tirade about how Sex and the City was “written by guys, who happen to be gay, who are sluts… telling [women] they are supposed to be sluts.” She actually never watched the show, but she goes on for two minutes talking about hunters and gathers and blah blah men spreading their sperm blah blah. Towleroad was kind enough to grab the clip. Please watch Ms. Hutton make Mrs. Gifford laugh uncomfortably, after the jump.
Working in the porn world sometimes allows us to forget that there are actually employers out there who might give a shit that we’re huge whores in our spare time. Clearly CNN would prefer that prominent talking head Richard Quest had not been nabbed in Central Park by cops at 3AM with a rope around his neck and balls and some meth in his pocket, but just think if they had seen him like that in his Manhunt profile while he was interviewing for the job! They *might* have thought twice about hiring his pervy ass.
Nightcharm introduced to us to its cute side project, Lurid Digs, a year or so back (links NSFW) and we still find ourselves drawn in by its mysteries. It’s basically a series of pics and visual analysis of the decor seen in various poor souls’ ManHunt profiles. It is reminiscent of (or perhaps was the inspiration for) another favorite site, Hunters and Gatherers, and the latter’s writers may be a touch funnier. But we love Lurid Digs’ focus on the interiors, the tantalizing glimpses into the intimate boudoirs (and living rooms, and basement rumpus rooms) of all those suburban and ex-urban gays we’ve heard so much about in the news.
Nickolay Petrov may be innocent until proven guilty, but CockyBoys is assuring worried consumers that it’s TOTALLY NOT milking the scandal to tell porn. Said CockyBoys rep Kyle Majors, “CockyBoys would like to wish its talented sexual performer Nickolay Petrov the best. We hope the stories circulating around this trial are untrue, and that all parties honor the standards that allow the accused a fair trial.”
Petrov was arrested in January for his alleged role in the
violent shakedown of an elderly couple in Florida. According to
police, the sexy, sexy Jet Set and CockyBoys exclusive was arrested
after attacking Galina and Grigori Komissarchuk with a hammer in the
Jacuzzi room of their Sarasota home.
We have a deep appreciation for Rock Hudson and all the other “perpetual bachelors” of mid-century America, and feel a certain kinship with the proto-homos of yore. We understand that prior to AIDS and parades, we weren’t exactly on the suburban radar, but, uh, COME ON NOW! Some of those pioneering old schoolers look pretty fucking gay to us, through our (admittedly) contemporary lens. So today we continue to examine how the generations before us managed to believe these guys were just, you know, a little funny.
Anthony Perkins
1932-1992
He was the soft-spoken, pretty-boy star of Psycho who fucked Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson and didn’t manage to sleep with a woman until he was 39. Anthony Perkins’ story is more sad than it is funny, but we want to take a moment to marvel at what used to pass for a straight man in these parts and appreciate old Tony’s work in his closeted prime.
Big Brother 9 is built on secrets and lies, but contestant Crazy James has one they didn’t count on-not only is the supposedly straight guy gay, he’s also a gay porn star. The wild boy was discovered in a solo scene this weekend, but makes his small screen hardcore debut in a scene with Hunter James in the upcoming Dirty Boy Video – NakedSword co-production, Dirty Tricks.
People said it wouldn’t last–and it didn’t. One YouTube-video filled year later, Ginch Gonch spokestwunks Benjamin Bradley and Ethan Reynolds are no more. So while the rest of the world is celebrating the impending nuptials of Roman Heart and Benjamin Bradley (together again, just like Pam and Tommy!), we thought we’d take this time to ponder the romance that was too hot not to cool down. We can only hope that Benjamin brings his enthusiasm for banal video diaries with him in this new romantic venture. Godspeed, camera-loving faglets!
