GQ's 25 Least Influential List; James Franco Parody with Seth Rogen
GQ's 25 Least Influential List
Other than wondering about who reads GQ Magazine anymore, or any print magazine for that matter, I couldn't help notice that GQ Magazine's list of the 25 least influential people is interesting. (If you still read print magazines please don't comment with vitriol. I think it's wonderful that you do, but print magazines like newspapers are dwindling fast and it's not my fault.)
First, the most annoying thing is that I can't actually get a comprehensive l...

Brooke Warner & Self-Publishing
This past week I had a nice e-mail exchange with a new writer whom I met through discussing something blog related. After we finished discussing the blog related issue he mentioned something about self-publishing a book and how he plans to go about doing it. The book sounds fascinating and it's LGBT related. But when I saw what he was looking into with regard to self-publishing I had to send him a few links to show that there are a few questionable things ou...

Daniel Radcliffe Full Frontal Nudity; Brent Corrigan Going Mainstream
Daniel Radcliffe Full Frontal Nudity
Daniel Radcliffe acted in the play, Equus, and showed everything he's got, with full frontal scenes. And when the photos were leaked online it stirred up a firestorm...as usual.
The naked pictures of Daniel Radcliffe, taken during his current stint in Broadway play "Equus", have been leaked and Broadway officials are outraged of the leak. The pics, which have been all over the net, show the young actor standing totally naked in front of co-star Anna Ca...

Leno's Bestiality Jokes; Alec Baldwin's Daughter Defends Him
Leno's Bestiality Jokes
It seems online retail web sites where e-books are sold aren't the only ones in a huff over bestiality. A particularly litigious flight attendant who claims that false accusations alleging she transports her pet rats in her panties is now suing Leno for jokes he and other comedians made about it. Evidently, she's claiming the jokes were sickening and disgusting.
A copy of the suit, obtained by Courthouse News, takes specific issue with humorous statements...

Cover Preview Second Chance; Nude Gay Rugby Players
Cover Preview Second Chance
I've been going back and forth with the cover artist I use for indie books and this is what we came up with as a tentative cover for a new series I'm working on titled Second Chance. It still hasn't been finalized, but I'm fairly certain this will be as close to the final as it gets. Although I have several full length books (four, I think, including a Christmas novel) with publishers coming out soon, I've been working on this series in my spare time...

Review: Actors Anonymous by James Franco
Review: Actors Anonymous by James FrancoI finished this novel last night and figured I'd better post a review while it's still fresh in my mind. And that's because in many ways it reminds me of a graduate course I took senior year in college called Communications and Literature. I was supposed to take this lame senior seminar as a requirement, but with a little foot work and a really cool advisor in the fine arts department who had some national fame at the time (and signed any...
June Trial PA Gay Marriage; The Men of Purdue
June Trial PA Gay Marriage
US District Judge, John E. Jones, set June 2014 as the date for a trial challenging the ban on same sex marriage in Pennsylvania. That will be one year since SCOTUS made the historic ruling on same sex marriage and that means one more year for LGBT couples in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to be denied the same equal rights that LGBT couples in surrounding states like New York and New Jersey receive.
Jones said he would set a specific date and a timetable...

IKEA Bows to Russia; Obama Signs HOPE; FREE Gay Excerpt
IKEA Bows to RussiaSwedish furniture company, IKEA, had an article with a lesbian theme in their customer magazine. Because of Russia's anti-gay propaganda law IKEA pulled the article from their Russian customer magazine because they want to remain neutral. The interesting thing is that IKEA has always targeted the gay dollar. I know they call it being "gay-friendly," which I always find amusing, but IKEA's bottom line rests on money and getting everyone they can to spend money at IKEA.
The c...

The Word "Faggot;" What Do Lesbians Look Like? He Cheated on Her
The Word "Faggot"
A college student put up a video on Youtube asking other college students what the word "faggot" means to them. Some of the responses are interesting, especially since the word has been getting a lot of attention lately with entertainers defending how they use the word.
Interviewing a diverse group of students with a range of sexual orientations, the video's creator sought to clarify the way different people perceive the meaning of "faggot" and the different contexts in which...

Sex With Mystery Species
Sex with mystery species is not one of those taboo topics that get banned by Kobo censors, and it's not a review of James Franco's new novel either. It's actually about something far more interesting, and serious.
The ancient genomes, one from a Neanderthal and one from a different archaic human group, the Denisovans, were presented on 18 November at a meeting at the Royal Society in London. They suggest that interbreeding went on between the members of s...
