The band is called “Cobra Starship” but the video was done by a bunch of gay film students who wanted a freaking gay rock band to worship. Or something.
Either way, the song is only available if you search the torrents for a Fall Out Boy Mixtape put out by their label. But it’s catchy. I’ve been driving around Los Angeles all week blasting it out my windows and singing really loud.
Cuz I don’t give a shit who knows I like to kiss boys, dammit.
OK, not like I’d stoop so low as to watch Twilight. I only made it about 3 chapters into the book before it went in the trash. If I want to read a book about vampires, it won’t be one with eunuch “Creatures of the afternoon” who go to school, walk around in the sun light and save themselves for marriage.
Oh, and then I found out the twerp who wrote it is a Mormon who doesn’t watch R-rated movies, thinks real vampire books and movies are “creepy” and… who needs more to hate her guts? She had me at “Mormon.”
Anyway, I was willing to give Robert Pattinson a pass since he was in Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire and he’s hot. But then I heard that he’s crying like a little baby about having to have gay sex in a movie about a gay icon. Apparently, he’s going to play Salvador Dali biopic Little Ashes.
He tells GQ magazine, “(The hardest part was) trying to do it doggie-style. Trying to have a nervous breakdown while doing it doggie-style. And it wasn’t even a closed set. There were all these Spanish electricians giggling to themselves.”

I’m SO FUCKING SICK of straight actors taking gay parts and then bitching about having to actually do gross things like kiss guys or have simulated sex.
SO… NOTE TO ALL STRAIGHT ACTORS.
If you get offered a role in a movie playing a gay icon like Harvey Milk, Salvador Dali or the Marlboro Man… read the fucking script first. If there’s gay stuff in it that makes you get all freaky… either don’t take the part or don’t do interviews where you remind your gay fans how repulsive you find them.
NOTE TO CASTING DIRECTORS…
There are plenty of young gay actors out there who deserve a break. Give them one and maybe we can have a few gay stars instead of straight men whining about pretending to be.
In the immortal words of Harvey Firestein, “If there were no heterosexuals, who’d play us on TV?”

I love to read but honestly, after a while I’m kinda tired of reading books with no fucking gay characters at all. As much as I like “gay subtext” like Fight Club and Lord of the Rings, I’d kinda like to read a book where the guy gets the guy or at least gets his chance to date him.
Reading about gay characters I can relate to is a lot more… fun?
Gay fiction isn’t that hard to find but with the closing of my favorite bookstore in West Hollywood, it’s about to get a little harder. So I joined the InsightOutbooks club. It’s a gay book club kinda like those old CD and DVD clubs. Buy a bunch of books for hardly anything and then buy a few more at full price over the next couple years.
I’m glad I found it. I haven’t got much “fine fiction” there but I’ve had a damn good time with some light reading. Figured I should share a few with you.
My first… Out Of The Pocket by Bill Konigsberg. It’s the story of Bobby Framingham, gay football player.. star quarterback. Terrified of how his friends, family, team, coach and potential college recruiters will react to his newly-discovered sexuality, Bobby meets Bryan… slightly older college hunk and fellow football nut.
Ok, so ground-breaking prose it’s not but it’s a lot of fun to read. By the end you’ll be rooting for both Bobby and his team of high school jocks.
First novel by Konigsberg, who’s day job is that of AP writer and award winning gay sports journalist. Check out BillKonigsberg.com for more. And pick up the book here at Amazon or even better, get it for real cheap by joining the Insight Out Books club. Tell me what other fun stuff you find.
Ok, the most bizarre thing about this intentionally bizarre band was that Madonna was, at one point, their drummer. While you put together a mental picture of that, just take into account that it was the late 70s when they formed and there was a lot of Coke in New York City.
Cute singer, great songs and a great marketing campaign was only enough to get them one real hit, “Right On Track.” It’s still a great song and Steven Bray went on to write most of Madonna’s best hits in the early 90s.
Funky.
We love Kylie. Not because we’re gay but because she’s Kylie.
She sings fun songs in a fun way. Unlike Madonna, she’s never taken herself too seriously, become obtuse or tried to become a serious actress. Not that she’d have a better chance at doing it. She’s never tried to get too serious and she’s never been a total douche bag.
She also dates hot men. Not that we wouldn’t want to see a few of Madonna’s former fuck buddies naked (I bet Guy Richie has a dick of death) but Kylie’s are cooler.
And now She’s dating men who’ll drop their pants and show us the goods.
Andres Velencoso Segura is a Spanish male model. Andres Segura was born 11 March 1978, making him a good ten years younger that Kylie.. meh.. if you’re Kylie you date who you want.
Apparently the two have been snow boarding together.
Like.. hot.
That being said, dude’s really gotta do something about that hair. You can check out his website here.
I always loved this song. Technically, it came out in the early 90s, but it would have been a hit had it come out about 5 years earlier.
The Banderas were a British duo with vocalist Caroline Buckley and violinist/keyboardist Sally Herbert. Produced by Stephen Hague. Their one and only album, “Ripe”, did not do well in Europe and was even less successful Stateside, despite collaborations from Jimmy Somerville, guitarist Johnny Marr, and New Order’s Bernard Sumner. Perhaps its failure was due to consumer confusion; is Banderas a Spanish-language punk band, or a bizarre Sinead O’Connor side project? (The duo sported shaved heads). Two singles were released from the album, but they never released a second.
There were two versions of the video.
The original video after the jump.
