Zac Efron is totally beefed up on “The Lucky One” – Release date April 20, 2012 (VIDEO)

Oh man!!!  This isn’t right.  Zac Efron is probably poised to be the next big thing as far as leading men in Hollywood goes.  He is amazing.  If you saw Charlie St. Cloud, you know that the kid is a fine actor.  And now, he’s acting as a grown up.  Whew!   It’s been a warm winter but he just made it warmer for me.  Just sayin’.

The Lucky One Trailer 2012 – Official movie trailer in HD – based on Nicholas Sparks’s best seller – starring Zac Efron & Taylor Schilling – a Marine travels to North Carolina after serving three tours in Iraq and searches for the unknown woman he believes was his good luck charm during the war.

“The Lucky One” movie hits theaters on April 20, 2012.

U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Zac Efron) returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive-a photograph he found of a woman he doesn’t even know. Learning her name is Beth (Taylor Schilling) and where she lives, he shows up at her door, and ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel. The Lucky One official trailer 2012 is presented in full HD 1080p high resolution.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Court rules on California’s PROP 8 – Ban on Gay Marriage (VIDEO)

“Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples,” said Judge Stephen Reinhardt in the majority opinion. “The Constitution simply does not allow for ‘laws of this sort’.”

“Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently. There was no such reason that Proposition 8 could have been enacted.”

I remember when one of my Youtube heroes, Machelli was saddened when PROP 8 passed, he created the video below:

Now, he can rejoice again and I do hope he creates another video.

CNN Commentator Roland Martin is slammed for Controversial Tweet About David Beckham Undies Ad

Yes, Roland Martin;  any hatred shown towards anyone who may or may not be attracted to the same sex is homophobia.

GLAAD came out condemning CNN Contributor Roland Martin‘s tweet when he tweeted right after David Beckham’s sexy underwear ad had aired:

“If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him!”

It was good that GLAAD came out and tweeted Roland to make sure that he is aware of what he had just done saying,
“@rolandsmartin Advocates of gay bashing have no place at @CNN #SuperBowl #LGBT.”

The group has mentioned that Roland Martin has a track record in making homophobic comments and is asking CNN to fire the commentator.

The commentator was defending his tweet saying that it had to do with soccer.  Hmmmm, really?

I was heartbroken when I found out Daniel Radcliffe has a mancrush on Ryan Gosling.

Let’s get one thing straight first.  I started to have a crush on Daniel Radcliffe not through Harry Potter.   It was when he did the broadway play for Equus is when it all happened.  No, not because he was nude in most of the scenes… maybe a part of it but not all.  :)

I have followed him since and while reading my fave blog, Towleroad this morning – I found out that he’s on the cover of Attitude magazine which is a very popular gay magazine in the UK.  You can actually get the mag on your iPad through iTunes.

I’m not here to sell magazines but I just want to let my readers know that I was heartbroken when I found out Daniel Radcliffe has a mancrush on Ryan Gosling. When asked if he might gay, he responded with this:

“No. I can quite happily say someone is handsome, good-looking, and I can see why someone would want to f**k them, but I’ve never felt that way about a man myself. There is that moment in your late teens when you ask yourself the question, ‘Am I?’ but I wasn’t…Well, this year I have a talent crush on Ryan Gosling. I think he’s fantastic and…(ahem) you know he’d be nice afterwards. He seems smart. If I was gay, I would go for a smart man.”

Well, I was not totally heartbroken because he said he would go for a smart man.  I’m smart… I think. In that case, I still love him.  :)

American Idol’s David Archuleta sings live “Nandito Ako” on Talentadong Pinoy (VIDEO)

Fresh from completing his TV series taping of Filipino TV series, “Nandito Ako“, American Idol 7 Runner-up David Archuleta performs the theme song in Filipino on Talentadong Pinoy.

Playing a half-Filipino on the series as Josh Bradley, this mini-series is sure to make a lot of Filipina girls wild about the cute and handsome David Archuleta. His fan base in the Philippines have grown dramatically most especially now that he’s going to be seen regularly on TV5, five days a week starting on February 20th, the series premiere.

Alright, alright!! I know you want to watch the video so here it is. Let your heart melt with David as he impressively sings in Tagalog. (It amazes me how one can put feelings into words he doesn’t understand but I guess that is why music is universal.)

New York Giants Win Over New England Patriots 21-17 #SuperBowl

Woohoo!  Even though I only lived in New York for five years, I somehow feel an allegiance to the state.

Tonight, New Yorkers all over are jumping with joy for New York Giant’s win over New England Patriots with a score of 21-17 at the 46th Super Bowl.

I was watching it just because I wanted to watch Madonna during the half time show (and see Tom Brady and Hernandez up-close of course!!!) but I was super excited when the Giants won.  Could Eli Manning be the team’s MVP this year?

What did you think about #MadonnaSuperbowl Half Time Show?! I think it rocked!! (PHOTOS and VIDEO)

For a 53-year old performer, Madonna killed it! She rocked the performance for the Superbowl XLVI’s Half Time Show. Together with Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green – the performance went without a hitch! (Except for that one brief moment she almost fell off the bleachers! Haha! But, try performing in those shoes and see if you can remain standing!!) She was awesome!

Of course, the website dedicated to ALL Madonna (Madonnarama.com) have posted photos from the show. Here are a few.

Breaking Dawn Bloopers Surface on Youtube – Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner laugh their a*** off during the birthing scene. (VIDEOS)

It’s fun to be actors don’t you think? I mean, this is what they do for a living! Yeah, I get it. They complain about working 16-hour days and sometimes they don’t get enough sleep because they need to finish the film. But, I don’t care! I want to be an actor!

Here are scenes from Breaking Dawn Bloopers…

David Archuleta to launch acting debut in the Philippines as Josh Bradley on “Nandito Ako” Mini-Series

American Idol Season 7 Runner-up and a Utah native,  David Archuleta joined TV5 in the Philippines as a “Kapatid” and recorded a TV primetime series entitled, “Nandito Ako” with Jasmine Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero.

I am missing  the press con since I am not based in the Philippines but I am excited for the mini-series.  I just wish I can watch TV5 here in the US.

Anyway, David Archuleta is ready for his prime time acting gig.  From a video blog, he mentioned something about his joining a Philippine TV network saying, “I’m excited about it. … This is a new experience for me.”

The series is set to premiere on February 20th on TV5!  Are you ready folks?  This is definitely a must-see soap.

Madonna’s Give Me All Your Luvin’ Single with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A (VIDEO)

Are you ready for the Super Bowl? Yes folks, it’s Super Bowl Weekend. I am not a sports fan at all but I do love half-time shows. This year, Madonna will perform and I am sooo looking forward to it.

So, in the spirit of Super Bowl Weekend (it’s like Christmas and Thanksgiving here during the Super Bowl), here’s a video of Madonna feat Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.

The video became #1 in 54 Countries (Youtube) in 2 days. Now over 3 million views.

Adam Lambert to be front man for legendary rock band QUEEN. Better Than I Know Myself (VIDEO)

QUEEN has been one of my favorite bands of all time.   And it still is!

Adam Lambert loves QUEEN as much as anyone and has never failed short in expressing his admiration for Freddie Mercury (the rock band’s lead singer).

“After the EMAs, I heard faint little slithers of a backlash from people saying: ‘You can’t replace Freddie Mercury.’ But I already knew that,” he said. “There’s no intention in my mind of replacing Freddie. That’s impossible. The way I’m choosing to view it is that it’s a great honour and one I’m in no way going to shirk … Being asked to front Queen is the best thing that can possibly happen.”- MTV

Today, February 3rd is the release date of his music video for his song, “Better Than I Know Myself”.    There have been many offensive comments posted on the Yahoo website about Adam Lambert and his sexuality.  Many have threatened him and some wished he commit suicide while others say that they wish the “men would do to him what they did to Matthew Sheppard” (the gay teen who was beaten and left for dead in the dessert).

Here’s the video:

Chuva Hotness# 30 James Wolk in a new TV series and guest stars as a gay man? Love it!!! ABCs “Happy Endings”

Yes.  He was chosen as one of Chuva’s pick for our Chuva Hotness series.  James Wolk got my attention during his stint on the now-cancelled show – Lonestar.   This time around, he will be a guest star as a gay man on ABC’s Happy Endings airing the day after Valentine’s Day.  I cannot wait!!  And if you’d like to see more stills from the series, go to TV Line.

We think he’s hot.  We think he’s hotter when he’s shirtless.  As a gay man?  I’m on fire!  LOL!

Happy Endings will air on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15 (9:31-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC

Gay Men’s Chorus Washington, D.C. does Lady Gaga’s Born This Way

This video may be late in coming because it’s way past Christmas. The video is Washington DC’s Gay Men’s Chorus Winter Party Concert. They were pretty good and probably, since the It Gets Better video created by Colton James Boettcher using Lady Gaga’s song, HAIR received a great accolade from Gaga herself and made the video viral, it may just do it for this video too.

I have to say that the Christmas songs were pretty good but singing Born This Way in a chorus didn’t do it for me. It’s probably the dancing boys in the front that distracted or attracted me. I am not sure yet…

Here it is anyway:

Let’s Rock it! ‘It Gets Better’ MUSIC VIDEO to Lady Gaga’s song HAIR #HairMusicVideo created by Colton James Boettcher WATCH!

Lady Gaga has taken the lead in the fight against bullying most specially gay teens who have committed suicide in recent months because of it.

Madison, WI’s Colton James Boettcher was inspired to create the an amazing video below for the ItGetsBetter.org project and the Trevor Project to let teens know that life does get better. Understanding that we haven’t reached enough kids yet to let them know that it does get better, the video, with the help of social media may go viral very soon. With only 305 views as of this writing, it will probably rise overnight.

UPDATE:  The video has now reached 214K views~!   I told you so!!

Glee’s Grant Gustin (Sebastian) Received Death Threats from Klaine Loveteam Fans?

Haha! I guess it’s not more fun in the Philippines after all!

I remember when Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson fans threatened Gerald Anderson with death threats after the news broke out that he was linked to other actresses. Fans can be overbearing sometimes. They somehow put the screen and reality together thinking that it’s all one.

Well, the appearance of hunk Grant Gustin as Sebastian on Glee to be the evil one that would go between Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss) caused some backlash with Klaine supporters.

He tells E!News:

“[I got], literally, death threats on Twitter saying, ‘if you break up Klaine, I will find you and I will kill you,’” Grant says. “Glee fans are intense in the best way possibly, and I appreciate it more than anything, but there was definitely backlash.”

Wow!

Anyhow, expect more of Sebastian after the Michael Jackson episode next week! He will return. Rumors about him becoming a semi-regular on the show are spreading… who knows?

I’m in love again!! Darren Criss Tributes Michael Jackson In “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” VIDEO

Gosh I’m old.  This is one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs while I was a freshman in college.  (Throw your calculator away!!)

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ Full Performance was posted on Youtube for all to see as Darren Criss performs the whole song including the legendary “crotch grab”…

Can’t wait for the episode to air next week, 1/31 on FOX  8/7c.

Hunk Mario Lopez Strips Down to his Undies on Ellen (VIDEO)

I love Mario Lopez. I love Ellen!

I love it when Mario Lopez strips down to his underwear on Ellen!!

Here’s the video to prove it!

One good reason not to miss Glee on 1/31 Episode. Michael Jackson!

I am and will always be an ultimate fan of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I am and will always be a fan of Glee!

So, when both my favorites are combined together in one show – - it’s something I wouldn’t miss.

To air on 1/31 on FOX at 8/7c, the Glee Cast will perform songs by Michael Jackson.

Here are the preview videos:

Chuvahotness # 36 – is Magic Mike’s Matt Bomer

With all the buzz surrounding Steven Soderbergh’s stripper film, Magic Mic – I just couldn’t help but notice someone whom I haven’t noticed before. I already knew Channing Tatum, and I also know Alex Pettyfer – but Matt Bomer?

Yes, Matt Bomer. He could probably be Clark Kent and I would still swoon over him. But he’s playing a stripper! Whoah!!

And if you can’t be satisfied with the photos posted here (Disclaimer), watch the video at the end of the post. You won’t be disappointed. I think I may just have to change my last name once again. :)

How did he do it? Alec Baldwin loses 30 pounds in four months. The secret is….

I know that sweets has a lot to do with weight gain.  But I didn’t think it can help you lose weight if you avoid it and do menial exercises.

Alec Baldwin did just that.  He not only gave up sweets….

I gave up sugar. I lost 30 pounds in four months,” the actor said.

A Chippendales Dancer Reveals He’s Gay! Bravo!!

Jaymes Vaughn (far left) with Kelly Pickler on Ellen

How true it is! Sometimes, we follow the wind wherever it blew because we couldn’t have the bravery to show the world who we really are. Then, a turning point sometime in our lives come. That turning point seems to say, it’s time to show the world who I really am.

That is exactly what happens to a lot of us gay people who have hidden our true selves to be accepted.. But, like me – there came a time in my life when I realized that I could be a better person if I accept who I really am and show that world that nothing has changed in their eyes but my sexual preference. It happened recently to a Chippendales dancer named Jaymes Vaughan. He recently came out through an interview with QVegas magazine.

“I hope to be able to take advantage of a platform so that my fourteen-year-old self that was sitting in Chesterfield County, Virginia, might find some hope. The fourteen year old that had no one to look up to; whose mama told him he better not be gay; whose church told him he was going to hell; whose best friend killed himself because he didn’t “fit in.” Because he didn’t have any hope. I thought for so long you had to cover up who you were to be successful. I’ve realized you can be more successful by being yourself.”

Kudos Jaymes!! Well said!

Yup – We can turn things around… Bullied gay teen finds purpose

Jamie Nabozny is probably person you’ve never heard of.  But, he is the one who had the very first successful lawsuit to require a public school district to protect students from anti-bullying and harrassment.

A film entitled “Bullied” was shown in Alabama back in 2010.  A film about his life and how he fought back against bullying.

He didn’t know at the time that the film will change the direction of his life.  He will spoke to a sold-out educational conference Hamline University in St. Paul yesterday speaking to” teachers, administrators, social workers and parents of gay, lesbian and transgender students”.

“I was no longer the kid from Wisconsin who got beat up. I was the kid from Wisconsin who got beat up, fought back and won, and made a difference for kids all across the country.”

Mario Lopez Shows his Booty and looks HOT in New Underwear PICS.

I have always had and will always have a crush on Mario Lopez.  I don’t know about ya’ll but did you see that scene on NipTuck while he was showering?  That was hot.  Youtube has taken down the video so you can no longer watch the hot scene.

Well, now – Mario Lopez is still fit and looking amazing in the new underwear photos that appeared on Instinct’s website.  Mario played the role of the adult Greg Louganis on “Breaking the Surface” TV movie.

For the NipTuck scene?  There’s a screenshot available here.

I didn’t know he can sing! President Obama Sings Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ During Fundraiser At Apollo Theater In Harlem (VIDEO)

Some things just catches me by surprise.  One thing that I didn’t know is that President Barack Obama can sing!

During a speaking engagement last night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, the President sang Rev. Al Green‘s classic, “Let’s Stay Together” which implies – - “hey, vote for me in 2012! AND WE’LL STAY TOGETHER!”

After singing a part of the song, he did look over to the side and said, “those gusy didn’t think I would do it.  I told you I was gonna do it.”

Rev. Al Green was also at the event.  Imagine this, according to Politico – from his New York fundraisers on Thursday alone, he raised $3.1 million.  He’s still got it!  He is a charmer!

Your voice counts!! Newsweek Behold! What the Stop SOPA blackout managed to do…

Breaking news!  FEDS just shutdown file-sharing website Megaupload accusing the site of multiple copyright infringement.  They said that this was not in any way connected to #SOPA and #PIPA.

Yesterday, Google, Wikipedia and other famous sites like Craigslist have joined a blackout to show its position on the bills currently in congress.

If you look at the image above, being compiled by ProPublica, the 24-hour blackout worked.  Those famous sites joining the blackout have encouraged regular readers to contact their local officials and senators and ask them to abandon support for PIPA and SOPA.

That was the effect.  15 dropped their support of the bills and gained 70 opponents.  That’s the power of the internet.  And if we do not act, this power will be taken away from us.

Google has since collected 7 million signatures in protest of #SOPA.  If you haven’t acted yet, now is the time to make that call, to write that letter.  If you need help, follow this LINK.

Golden Globes 2012 Complete List of Winners. How do you think Ricky Gervais did?

 

I particularly watched the Golden Globes last night because of Ricky Gervais.   I just wanted to see how he really is at insulting the guests since I missed his performance last time.  I really didn’t think it was very funny.  Some were and I thought Madonna got him back really good.  All-in-all though, I think he was just okay.

Anyway, here are the list of winners – courtesy of ABC News.
