HOT: The 'Gatsby' Trailer

Have you seen this shit? It looks kind of amazing. And we've always been fans of Tobey Maguire and, occasionally, of Leo. But why in hell did they need to this in 3-D? This ain't fucking Battleship. Anyway, it looks like Baz Luhrmann has done it again, and this thing could win Best Picture and all that. We just hope it comes in non-3-D, too. 

'Big Bang' Geek Emerges From Glass Closet

Jim Parsons, the Emmy-winning star of TV's barely watchable The Big Bang Theory, has just come out of the closet in the New York Times. He starred in The Normal Heart on Broadway last year and now he's doing even more Broadway, playing the lead in a revival of Harvey, and thus it seemed an appropriate time to admit what everyone pretty much already knew. Also, he's been in a relationship for ten years, so anyone who's really into dorks like him can just settle down... you can't have him. [OUT, US Weekly]

Weird Underwear Ads Feature a Lot of Heads in Crotches

So, a Sydney ad agency came up with this wacky campaign for Miraslav Underwear, with the tagline "quality best appreciated up close." Yeah. There's also one with a guy with his head buried in his own crotch. Anyway, we hope this works for them. It's all just kinda gay to us. [Buzzfeed]

Weekend Tuneage: 'Punks Jump Up'

This little ditty, from Mr. Overtime feat. Chromeo, is a pretty fun one to close out your Friday. Find the track here. (Thx, Jason)

R.I.P. Donna, Even If You Didn't Totally Love Us

She may have tried to deny some very homophobic comments she was said to have made during a concert in 1983, just as AIDS was hitting the news, but Donna Summer has long been thought of as a homophobe who was ultimately ungrateful to the gay community who were, arguably, the sole reason she was ever famous. Even this Sadvocate writer tried to make sense of it all after news of her death at age 63 arrived yesterday. (He admits than when he asked her in a 2008 interview if she supported gay marriage, she wouldn't give him a clear answer.) Anyway, we don't care that much. The gays have loved a lot of people over time who probably didn't care too much for them — we could name a handful of gay-for-pay porn stars, to begin with, who all are kind of troubled in their own right but have no real love for the fags. And Donna's music was the soundtrack to mainstream gay life of the late 70s, at a moment before AIDS and before Donna became born-again, and we'd prefer to focus on that moment. So, here's a scene from the film that won Donna her Oscar for Best Song, Thank God It's Friday. See you on the flipside, lady. 

A Meditation on Grindr, and How It's Making Us All More Loveless, and Crazy

A guy named Evan Ross Katz just wrote the internet's umpteenth blog post about Grindr and what it all means and how many times he's deleted it and downloaded it again. Now, we're taking this with a grain of salt because a) it was written by a twentysomething guy in New York who doesn't sound like he knows what the hell he wants, and b) we know someone who totally fell in love and is really happy now because of Grindr. But, of course, that latter case is pretty goddamn rare. And if we lived in New York and not in S.F., we'd also probably be even more tempted by Grindr because there are SO MANY MORE HOT MEN THERE, and temptation is not something we do well with. Case in point, this guy says that Grindr is "a meat market, and fine, I'll take it, but we're talking foie gras and caviar, not a Sonic burger (that would be Manhunt)." Alas, in cities beside New York, it is more like Arby's and the occasional Red Lobster entree, and the guys on Scruff are actually hotter, but we digress.

Hilarious: A Butt Plug for Every GOP Candidate

Not that we really ever need to talk about Michele Bachmann ever again, but this is pretty funny.

What You Might Have Worn to the Beach in 1951, If You Were Gay and British

This rather astonishing runway show of men's summer fashions -- including some very fucked up swimwear -- comes to us via the year 1951, when a British designer appears to have thought that there was a market for extremely gay clothing on British gentlemen. Maybe there was! But my god. Who would wear that weird pair of swim trunks with like that stiff, space skirt thing in the front. Obviously, the leopard-print Speedo and matching jacket are kind of hot.

Amazing Nebraska Crazy Lady Goes on Incomprehensible Homophobic Rant

"P.E.N.I.S. goes into the anus to rupture intestines... Gays are the bioethic genociders in hospitals... Lesbians and gays rarely live past 40 years old because it is common for a partner to do away with them or they self-inflict." WHAT? This is awesome.

Twerkin' at an Anti-Gay Protest

Ha. We love the sign that comes into the frame that says "Jesus Hates Cargo Zip-off Pants."

Hot Hunky Jesus Protests In New York

Check out the photos of this hot-n-hunky Jesus lookalike who's been roaming the streets during today's May Day protests in New York City, carrying a big cross. We think this has something to do with connecting the New Testament with the 99%, taking care of the poor and all that. Anyway. Hot. [Gothamist]

Weekend Tuneage: 'Champagne Coast' by Blood Orange

We told you about this Blood Orange album back in October, and now this video just dropped today for the song "Champagne Coast," and it's totally rad. It was directed by Haley Wollens, and it gives us hope for the music-video arts going forward. 

What the What?: Joe Jonas Shirtless at Coachella With Attractive Man Friend

Wow, so, here's hottie Joe Jonas, whom we and everyone else has long had suspicions about, hanging out with an attractive dude at Coachella, sans shirt. This means nothing of course, but it looks like a love connection to us! Below, a couple of much clearer shots of Joe's nips and abs.

Jeffery Self and Cole Escola Reunite to Make Glenn Close Porn

The pals behind 'Jeffery and Cole Casserole' on Logo haven't been collaborating so much these days, now that Jeffery is shacked up with his boyfriend in L.A. and Cole remains back in New York. But here they are, bicoastally collaborating once more in their characteristically non sequitor style, on a parody trailer for 'I'm Close. I'm Glenn Close.'

Weekend Tuneage: 'Only the Horses' by Scissor Sisters

Sadly it doesn't feature Jake Shears taking his shirt off, but here's the newest single/video from the Scissor Sisters from their new album which is due out May 28. It's kind of nice to look at. And the song is catchy. And when did Ana Matronic lose all that weight?

James Franco Lip Syncs to 'Call Me Maybe'

Hey look! James Franco is a man after this guy's heart! Here he is lip syncing and singing along to "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepson along with some random chick in his car. The audio's terrible. He proves his heterosexuality by not really knowing the words, but uh, is he filming this while driving! You could kill yourself doing this, James! At least in this earlier video (where he was sporting corn rows) he was rocking out to Selena Gomez in the passenger seat. [via WOW]
