Gays Take Entrapment Agitprop to the Next Level: Porn

Jerry Portwood -

Gay men have begun speaking out concerning false arrests at video stores since undercover cops have been arresting them for prostitution. DA Robert Morgenthau says most of the cases against the men will probably be thrown out. But where is the public outcry? Leave it to the porn kings to take the idea and turn it on his head. Michael Lucas Entertainment has released a film titled Entrapment. And the guy behind the "script," Mr. Pam speaks to Charlie Vasquez about where he got his inspiration:

More Miss California U.S.A. Semi-Nude Photos Found

Henry Melcher -
Miss California U.S.A., Carrie Prejean, the runner-up for Miss U.S.A., is making headlines again. Fresh off a heated dispute with Perez Hilton about gay marriage, there are new reports of nude and semi-nude pictures of Ms. Prejean. Yes, these pictures of Prejean sans-jeans (she's wearing underwear and turned away from the camera) break the Miss U.S.A. pageant rules (not the Miss America pageant rules, so don't get them confused).

Thedirty.com, which is currently not loading because of overwhelming traffic, is promising to roll out more pictures. The Miss California U.S.A. runner-up, Miss Malibu, the woman one heartbeat away from Miss California U.S.A., said she is willing and able to step into the role.

Samberg & Co. Don't Compare to Weird Al as Song Satirists

Jerry Portwood -

The Lonely Island, aka Avika Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone, "released" their first video/single last night on Saturday Night Live, "Jizz in My Pants." The song/video (it's difficult to separate the two since the track would suffer without the visuals) is a send up of faggy Euro-pop and is just the latest in the trio's creations that have parodied the hackneyed and cheesy music of the past and (rarely) present—while also wallowing in prurient, adolescent pranks that still manages to pass for clever humor (wasn't irony supposed to be dead?). While this one doesn't have the star power of a Justin Timberlake cameo (although on occassion the sunglasses on Schaffer, along with his greasy mop of hair, did have me mistake him for a less-chiseled Timberlake), it does have a catchy chorus and infectious silliness.

Yes, it's funny. I'm not so cynical that I didn't enjoy the first few minutes of it. But, as with "Lazy Sunday" and "Dick in a Box," I wondered why I felt like this parody felt so familiar and didn't quite satisfy beyond a few chuckles. Then it hit me: Weird Al Yankovic did it already—and better.

VGL Jeffrey Self Talks About the People He Slept With Who Never Called Back

Cassandra-Morris -

Twenty-one-year-old Jeffery Self has the kind of narcissistic drive that makes people famous for being themselves. He’s charming, witty and willing to spill intimate details of his life. Self is most well-known has half of the VGL (Very Good Looking) Boys. Along with his counterpart Cole Escola, the duo's kitschy videos have made thousands of YouTubers LOL by poking fun at everything from the recession to Bernadette Peters (they currently have a development deal with LOGO). This week he performs his "all-true" one-man show, People I Slept With Who Never Called Me Back Feb. 7 at Ars Nova.

I caught up with Self just before he left to perform on an Atlantis Cruise to find out how the Internet helped him gain notoriety and the consequences of airing his dirty dating laundry in public.

Is Israeli Porno the Best Travel Promo?

Editors -

NY-based porn provocateur Michael Lucas is promoting Israel in a bold new way: gay Israeli porn. Over at Tablet magazine, Wayne Hoffman writes about Lucas' latest foray in to a new market. As Hoffman points out:

"In gay porn, where there’s less room for nebbishes and clowns, openly Jewish men have been virtually absent or invisible. In fact, the only one in recent memory is, well, Michael Lucas...In Men of Israel, the guys are all Israeli, all Jewish, and they’re not hiding it. Sure, their names are probably fakes—no parents would name their son Morr Foxx unless they knew he’d grow up to be a gay porn star. But at least their names sound plausibly Israeli, plausibly Jewish: Matan Shalev, Avi Dar, Naor Tal...The director’s goal is to help viewers realize that Israel is a place of unique beauty and history, he says, but also a place that’s not so different from Prague or Sydney or Palm Springs— all places where hot men have sex with each other on film, and all nice places to take a perfectly innocent gay-cation."

Thanks, Michael Lucas. You always know what the world needs next.

Mad Magazine's 20 Dumbest Has Smartest Cover

Jerry Portwood -

We don't usually pay much attention to Mad Magazine, but when we saw their cover for their "20 Dumbest People, Events and Things" featured a version of Heath Ledger's Joker, we had to laugh. Although Ledger himself doesn't make the list (the complete 20 can be seen after the jump), accidentally killing yourself when you are about to star in one of the biggest movies in history should certainly get you ranked as one of the dumbest people. But in a year with so many other dumb dumb details, I guess he didn't make the cut. He nearly made it on our first "Naughty & Nice List" but again, not quite.

Matthew Bank Gets Out of the Gay Mag Business (for Now)

Jerry Portwood -

A little gay bird told us that HX, the little gay rag that has been pumping up go-go boys and queer parties since 1991, was folding. That's not exactly true. Turns out that it's being sold. When we contacted owner/founder Matthew Bank, he sent us this release:

"HX Magazine and the web site hx.com have been sold. The new owners of HX Magazine will be releasing details and information on their plans for the future of the title shortly. In the meantime, Bank and HX Magazine Publisher Gary Lacinski will be assisting them in the transition. HX Magazine issue 931 dated July 10th, which will be released on July 3rd, will be the last one produced by HX Media and its staff.

Lady Gaga. Or is it Gentleman Gaga?

Henry Melcher -

 UPDATED: Hope you didn't get your panties in a bunch after hearing the speculation that Lady Gaga was a hermaphrodite because it turns out that it's probably not true. In fact, it looks like Ms. Gaga actually got her own panties in a bunch which resembled the "peener" in the video.

 In front of thousands of screaming fans, Lady Gaga sat on a moped in a tiny red dress as two muscular black men pushed her around the stage. When she swung her legs to get off the vehicle, the fans—and thanks to a video, the rest of us—got a little bit more show than we thought. We got a quick flash of her Kibbles N’ Bits. We saw her lady bits and even her man bits. All sorts of bits really.

Yes, despite her stage name, Lady Gaga is actually a hermaphrodite. Bossip says she recently came out of the closet and is not embarrassed about the issue. “I’m sexy, I’m hot. I have both a poon and a peener. Big fucking deal.” We’re putting on our Poker Face and acting natural.
