MANHUNT Daily: Galecki On Gay Rumors: "Why Defend Yourself Against Something That's Not Offensive?": "Why Defend Yourself Against Something That's Not Offensive?"

Love it when guys like these basically state what should "the obvious" with eloquence and grace.

Cheyenne Jackson and Michael Urie Rip "Newsweek"'s Ramin Setoodeh For "Gays Can't Play Straight" Article | AfterElton.com

Cheyenne Jackson and Michael Urie Rip "Newsweek"'s Ramin Setoodeh For "Gays Can't Play Straight" Article | AfterElton.com: "When asked to comment on Ramin Setoodeh's recent article about how openly gay actors can't convincingly play heterosexual roles, Cheyenne Jackson and Michael Urie straight-out called the Newsweek entertainment writer an ''asshole'' who's ''unconscionable.'' The two out actors were speaking at a talkback after Monday's performance of The Temperamentals, Jon Marans' acclaimed Off-Broadway play about early gay rights activists in the 1950s."

Oy Madonna

Look, I'm as much a fan of Madonna's as the next gay boy who came out in the eighties, saw the Blond Ambition tour live, and thought it a cop-out to change to arrangements to the score of Evita to accommodate Madge's limited vocal abilities (while allowing the part of Che to be played as a second rate Magaldi channeling a Latin version of the Elvis of Vegas years). However, these pics of Madonna - albeit the hotter we've seen in a long time - are not a testament to the Material Girl's retaining her vigor of yore, but rather of the talent of the photographer, the lighting designer, the makeup artist, the hair person, the artistic director and the photoshop artist - akin to the impact of CGI on a movie like Price of Persia. I'm just sayin!

But Seriously Folks -

I understand that Bradley Cooper's eyes are piercing, and that ScarJo is stunning - and while I may agree with SOME of the choices made by People Magazine as the 100 most beautiful people in the WORLD - yep, the world, like they've gone door-to-door the entire planet over and found that, very conveniently, the most beautiful people in the entire world gravitate around Hollywood.

Having this said, I have only one more comment to make about the pictures below - courtesy of Pink Is The New Blog (check it out!): No kidding these might appear to be the most beautiful people in the entire world, they have been plucked, primed, coiffed and schlacked with exquisite precision to reach optimal results. And what a team of beauty experts couldn't do before the shoot, Photoshop took care of, airbrushing and correcting within an inch of each of their natural lives. Seriously! I'd be hot too if I could go through this type of cosmetic and digital transformation! ScarJo in particular doesn't even look human!

Joe. My. God.: PHOENIX: Man Stabbed To Death During Grindr Hook-Up With Local 19 Year-old

Joe. My. God.: PHOENIX: Man Stabbed To Death During Grindr Hook-Up With Local 19 Year-old:

"Phoenix police say 54 year-old Mark Woodland was brutally murdered on Sunday by 19 year-old Tommy Reed when the two hooked-up after meeting on Grindr. This is the second Grindr-related crime reported in as many days."

We all know that anything can happen - regardless of whether you meet someone volunteering at your local charity, in a bar on a Saturday night, or on line (or in this case, on the phone!). There was a story yesterday on the Today show about these women who sidle up to well-off looking men in bars, drug them and take them to the cleaners, taking expensive jewelery, credit cards, etc., so it's clear that these types of behaviors are not limited to men or event to gay men as some will surely try to imply. It reminds me of that story from a few years ago about a guy who got acid poured on his dick through a glory hole, and the police officer investigating the matter at the time said something to the effect of "if you're going to stick your junk into a hole, not knowing what's on the other side, you're bound to get some nasty surprises." So it sorta makes you wonder, are the creeps out there anyway and these devices (gloryholes, anonymous hookups, grindr, etc.) simply giving them an outlet to exercise their creep-ness, or does the existence of these venues help foster a new generation of creeps to - under the shroud of mystery and anonymity - do what in other cases they would never attempt?

Just thinking out loud...

Joe. My. God.: HomoQuotable - Dan Savage

"Three shark in attacks in Florida, million of sharks in the ocean, and no one will go in the water. Hundreds and thousands of children raped in churches and people still send their kids to church. It's crazy. You should be sending your kids to gay bars. There they will be be safe." - Dan Savage, speaking on his latest podcast.
