If you haven't yet caught a TV broadcast of this episode of MTV's "True Life" which follows three young people who happen to have sex-related jobs (including gay-for-pay Jet Set exclusive Aaron James), here's your chance to see what happens when people stop being polite and start being real ... er, we mean what happens when people have to balance a sexy job with an otherwise unsexy life. (Trust us, we know the feeling.) (mtv.com, via nakedcity.com)

We're glad to see that one of our favorite sexy blogs is back in convenient book form, and while it'll be great to take Alex's cock hunting adventures to the beach with us this summer we're a little worried already about getting the pages all sticky. (With suntan lotion, people. We're very careful about these things when it comes to one-handed reading, you know.) (amazon.com - thanks Robert)

Sure, it's great that we're finding out more about the extracurricular porn careers of contestants on the American version of "Big Brother" ... but let's not forget that their foreign counterparts still have us beat when it comes to sporting wood on the show itself. We still have a long way to go, people. (madeinbrazil.typepad.com; still more "Crazy" James action @ dudetubeonline.com)

"Make Me A Supermodel" Raises The Bar On Gratuitous Supermodel Nudity

As if last week's polymorphously perverse poseathon wasn't enough to cement Bravo's "Make Me A Supermodel" into our weekly must-see viewing schedule, we were treated to even more gratuitous boobage (male and female) in last night's episode as the latest dubious "challenge" involved having the contestants pose nude for an art class at the Parsons School of Design. Typically for basic cable, the more egregious fleshy and/or dangly parts were blurred out during the broadcast; untypically for television in general, ass cracks and butt cheeks galore were shown in their full, uncensored glory. And we didn't even have to miss the season premiere of "Lost" to see it all! Is this the best show in the history of model-based reality programs or what?

True to form, the Concerned Women of America (which sounds like a drag group, but isn't) is protesting the poster for this year's Folsom Street Fair for its "shocking and offensive" depiction of the Last Supper starring pornstars and other polymorphously perverse party people instead of ... uh, whoever was at that other Last Supper thing. And here we were thinking that everyone was a fan of Tober Brandt! (towleroad.com + folsomstreetfair.com)

Larry Craig Ruins Hot Public Sex For The Rest Of Us

The pop culture (to say nothing about the political) fallout from geriatric horndog Idaho senator Larry Craig's alleged rest room shenanigans continues apace today as Slate editors argue whether tapping your foot and reaching underneath a toilet stall are really indications that you're, uh, in the mood for love (trust us: they are) while news outlets from ABC to CNN expose the secret world of gay cruising to their mostly straight audiences and The Smoking Gun inevitably publishes Craig's arrest report.

The gays are all a-twitter this week over "New American Hearthhrob" Zac Efron's treasure trail on the cover of Rolling Stone ... but did we really need to see his perky and probably airbrushed nipple too? (Answer: Of course we did.) (fmforums.co.uk + justjared.com)

Shirtless soap hunks remind us of one of the reasons why we like working from home ... even if we don't get to watch soap operas much since we're usually too busy looking for things like, you know, shirtless soap hunks to blog about. (ohlalaparis.com)

Gay, Straight or Porn Star?

If you're anything like us (i.e., bored as fuck on a Monday night), you're anxiously awaiting tonight's two new episodes of "Gay, Straight or Taken", Lifetime's stereotypical new reality series that asks you to test your gaydar. It's also one of the favorite after-work games here at the Fleshbot Research Department because it allows us to hone our skills at recognizing the occasional gay porn model. In Episode 4, Marisa was searching for a "guy with humor, intelligence and a firm, athletic bod" and ended up metting muscleboys Tony, Ezra and Yaacov; after the requisite teasing, she correctly guessed that Tony was the gay one mostly due to his suspect labrette piercing. Had Marisa been familiar with certain corners of the gay porn world, however, she would have instantly recognized that "Tony" moonlights as "Kamrun", star of such titles as "Black Balled 5", "Black Cocks in White Jocks", "Black & White Workout" and "Black Foremen, White Journeymen". (Meanwhile, fellow contestant "Yaacov" appears here and there as "Jacoby", fitness model and star of softcore muscle editorials.) Mind you, this was just one episode. It can't be that hard for straight women in LA to find a date ... -RM

Even More JUB Magazine Hotness

Stop the presses! JustUsBoys Magazine, the bi-quarterly website magazine from JustUsBoys.com—which, coincidentally, has the familiar ring and look of the website JustUsBoys.com—has released the first issue from their new, bi-monthly schedule. Now, some of us argued that meant twice a month. Others said it was every other month. The thing is, you just never know with the Bi's. But we could agree that this issue—featuring the photography of Steven Underhill, the entrepreneurship of Mark Wolff, that (bi) hottie Jason Adonis as well as a host of other porn-related features—makes Maxim seem like Forensics Magazine in comparison - VH More »

MTV's "Alex" is "Going Under"

It shouldn't come as a surprise that blogs keep turning up instances of mainstream TV reality show stars who've done porn at some point in their careers; given the relatively limited number of ways an aspiring young actor can make his way in the entertainment industry, is there really that much of a difference between appearing in a cheesy TV show and appearing in a cheesy gay porn video? Gay Skin Index reports that "Alex" on MTV's "Exposed" (which we've never watched) is the very same "Derek Cruz" who appeared in Jet Set's 2005 hypnosex-flavored feature "Going Under" (which we've never seen either). As we're unfamiliar with both of his vehicles, it's not the most scandalous of discoveries. But it should make those reruns a little more interesting should we happen to catch his MTV star turn while channel surfing one of these days. More »

Belasco Comix

Belasco is a Los Angeles based-illustrator who describes himself as a "homoafroerotic artist": think 50 Cent's prison fantasies meets Diesel Washington as sketched by Tom of Finland, with a healthy dose of huge muscles and a sprinkling of bondage action. The character who stands out as the fan favorite is Boo, described as "a bottom's dream come true. No one says no to Boo, and no one wants to." Why are all the good ones only available in pen and ink? -RM

Johnny Hazzard Sings!

When we first heard that yet another gay porn star decided to try their luck at singing a singing career we weren't impressed (see: Jeff Stryker). But after we downloaded Johnny Hazzard's single "Deeper Into You" from iTunes, we had to admit it was pretty darn good. Ironically, Johnny was discovered after lip syncing to Toronto singer Sherrie Lea's hit "Spellbound": the videotaped performance made its way onto YouTube where it's been viewed more than 100,000 times in the last four months and got the attention of songwriter James Collins, who then contacted Hazzard about recording his own dance single. Uberdirectrix and DJ Chi Chi LaRue, who launched Hazzard's porn career, has been playing "Deeper Into You" regularly in clubs and this week the two collaborated to film the music video for the single. Is there anything that boy can't do? -JL More »

Marcus Allen Update(s)

We're not sure what to make of this opportunistic new blog devoted to all things Timothy Boham, aka Marcus Allen, the former gay porn star arrested last month on first degree murder charges: is it crass exploitation at its worst, or a legitimate way of keeping a breathess gay news audience up to date on one of the most sensational news stories of the year while providing a dose of titillation in the process? Either way, we learned two things from perusing it today: first, Allen/Boham's will face his preliminary hearing on January 17; and second, his performance in Studio 2000's "Homecoming" "will have you coming and coming and coming back for more!". We're feeling terribly well-rounded all of a sudden.-RM/JD

Scum Bag Fag Mag #12: "Sticky Subject"

Thankfully, the internet hasn't entirely killed off the queer 'zine scene: one of our newer favorites, Scum Bag Fag Rag (which we first came across last year) is still going strong and their latest issue is the most porntastic yet. Along with a cover appearance by porn bad boy Aiden Shaw (who poses with a lollipop and baby chicks while promising all the "Hot! Wet! More Fluids!" delights you'll find within), there's also the digital dementia of illustrator and artist Chris Habana as well as twisted collages by C. Dailey. We think we just found something to replace "Reader's Digest" as our bathroom reading material of choice.

Baby Boy #28

Things are still masculin and urbain at Baby Boy, the French monthly that's become a regular read (or at least browse) here at Fleshbot Central: the latest issue features several goodies that should take care of any sweet tooth. We're especially sweet on coverboy Johann and his photospread by photographer Ernest Collins, but there's also new photos and words by superhottie Nuyorican poet and photographer Elliot Torres and an article on the similarities and differences between French and American black gay cultures. (If you're up on your francais, keep an eye out for a certain Fleshbot contributor's second appearance in the magazine.) Then again ... you don't really go to Baby Boy for the articles, do you?

"Borat": Going Down That Stonie End

Despite the spoiler warning over at our sibling site Defamer today, you probably knew already that not all those wacky situations in "Borat" were completely unscripted—particularly if you watch a lot of gay porn, in which case you might have recognized Borat's "teenage" "son" as Adrian "Stonie" Cortez, star of such classics as "Stonie Slept Here" and "Stonie's Ass Banging Adventure". According to Radar, the "Borat" folks tapped the 25 year old Stonie to play the part since they were looking for "someone who would look 13 or 14 but was actually of legal age and would do frontal nudity"; porn agent David Forest, never one to miss a promotional opporunity, added in a flurry of press releases today that Stoney's endowment ("eight inches, and thick!") probably had something to do with it as well. We liiiiike! (Oops, sorry.) More »

BUTT: The Book

It seems like just yesterday when we were passing around that first slim pink-paged, dog-eared issue with a few close friends and fellow discriminating smuthounds; now, the first five years of BUTT Magazine have been collected by the fine folks at Taschen into what promises to be the must-have bedside book of the holiday season. Arranged "for your (in)convenience" in reverse chronological order, the 560 pages contain every bit of editor Gert Jonkers and designer/editor Jop van Bennekom's singular vision of an "amazingly realistic view on today's homosexual man", including photos by Wolfgang Tillmans, Terry Richardson and Helmut Lang along with interviews with queer luminaries like Michael Stipe, Gus van Sant, Rufus Wainwright, and Marc Jacobs. We recommend ordering two copies just in case one of your tricks pals "borrows" yours; we guarantee you'll have a hard time getting it back. (Having lost our first half dozen issues in similar circumstances, we know what we're talking about.) More »
