Imagine our titillated surprise when we heard Playboy, which has made a trillion bajillion dollars on tits and vagina, will soon offer 20 hours of gay porn to Time Warner customers. Exciting, right? Well, not quite: “Each program in the package ‘may depict erect genitalia, male-on-male fellatio and simulated or implied sexual intercourse.’ But, according to [a company] memo, content shall not depict actual anal penetration, licking or anal sexual play of any kind.’ Male ejaculation and forced bondage also will be off limits.” [LA Observed via GNW]

The Hills girls may be incomprehensibly famous, but not all reality stars live their caviar dreams. For example, Rodrigo De Carli left his gay porn star life at Rascal videos to join the ranks of Janice Dickinson’s Modeling Agency.

Well, things didn’t turn out quite the way he wanted, because the De Carli’s gone back to his dick sticking ways: …De Carli AKA Claudio Martin (who was originally a Rascal Video Exclusive) is returning to XXX films this summer in two upcoming Lucas productions: Flatiron Fuckers and Pounding the Pavement.
…
In a press released issued by Lucas Entertainment today it states that the former reality TV star will be featured in the film … Continued…

Have you ever been watching an adult video, going about the business of enjoying yourself, and spotted one of your friends starring in it? (Or seen a friend appear in a magazine spread?)

Speaking of wars, there’s a loud one going on here in the world wide web. Man-on-man porn star turned Republican lap dog Matt “Dirty” Sanchez launched a few gay-flavored jabs at those homos over at Gawker. He seems to think all homos everywhere suffer from the deadly: “rainbow colored multi-cultural mental disorder.” Darrr, wouldn’t that include you, you closet case chump?[Gawker]

Burlesque entertainer, former Marilyn Manson lover and all around sex bomb Dita Von Teese appeared in lesbian porn. “[Dita] is seen in an X-rated flick, Pin-Ups 2, being spanked and pleasured with a bizarre sex toy by women.” [Daily Telegraph]

How appropriate! Not after thirty seconds posting Ashley Alexandra Dupre’s song, we received an email directing us to The Sword’s collection of gay porn music videos.

We’re more into scene selection, so we’ve never experienced the campy might of the porn single, but they’re pretty incredible.

Above you’ll find the atrociously awesome theme for Spring Break, but we recommend you head over and give Idol In The Sky’s anthem a listen. Warning, it’s NSFW.

The New Republic’s latest edition contains a look at Israel-loving porn producer Michael Lucas‘ exclusionary, anti-Islamic politics. So, what’s the recap called? “Hard Politics”. [TNR]

He’s baaack!

Contentious filmmaker Bruce LaBruce last came at us with The Raspberry Reich, which focused on gay “terrorists”. Now, LaBruce turns his iconic eye to a seemingly unrealistic, and quite timely, topic: zombies.

Otto; Or, Up With Dead People revolves around the titular, undead Otto (Jey Crisfar), who’s trying to find his place in a world where zombies have become common place. While humanity has learned to cope with invasive flesh-eaters, they’re none-too-happy to learn that the latest wave’s a bit lavender.

Endangered, confused and fighting his zombie urges, Otto falls in with a Medea, who’s making a flick about revolutionary gay zombies fighting back against roving anti-gay militias. The movie, which premiered earlier this year at Sundance, represents a huge step in LaBruce career, which started with Queercore fanzines and a little movie called No Skin Off My Ass.

Unlike some independent filmmakers, LaBruce’s career has only grown in recent years, which affords him higher budgets and more intricate aesthetics - designer Rick Owens did all the costuming for Otto, which artist Terence Koh co-produced. Despite his success, LaBruce stays true to his message: assimilation sucks. The director widens his directive in this offering, however, taking on a broader consumerism and corporation-saturated society.

Our editor spoke with LaBruce this weekend and the gents hit the obvious talking points - conformity, the devolution of gay activism - but also get deep into some other issues, like Internet-based bitchey, where LaBruce stands on bareback porn and how the Canadian government may soon start hampering films like Otto.

Journalist action helped shutter some bareback porn in England.

Three DVD titles have been pulled from shelves after BBC’s Newsnight revealed that a number of actors had become infected with HIV. While it’s unknown whether the actors contracted the virus while on the eight-day shoot, authorities aren’t about producers capitalizing on the deadly transmission.

Meanwhile, in related news, producer Rufus Ffoulkes will spend some time in jail after hiring a 16-year old for an unsafe porn shoot. The teen later tested positive for HIV.

The men of College Boys Live are going to be living on the street. The Homeowners Association of Lake Brantley, Florida, successfully petitioned against the porn site’s presence in their neighborhood: “When you’re living in a house and required to be nude eight to nine hours a day to be on the internet cameras, it became a problem with parties and other activities. You’ve got a 9-year old girl who can’t look out her bedroom window,” said neighbor Mike Towers.

But the owners of the home and the website contend that their house was like every other house on the street, except for the business that went on privately within its walls. No … Continued…

Twenty-one year old porn star Jesse Santana sent us an open letter explaining that while he may be a porn star, he’s not whore.

Read all about it, after the jump…

[Editor’s Note: Santana claims not to be a male escort, but he’s obviously a publicity whore - he neglected to tell us that Fleshbot posted this rant last week. Sorry, FB!]

Big Brother contestant “Crazy James’” gay porn past keeps haunting. Gay Socialites snagged an interview with drag queen Miss Epiphany, who made out with James in his Dirty Boy video. Said interview doesn’t reveal much, but does give the reader a view into Epiphany’s definitive sexual definitions: “Anyone who sucks dick can no longer be considered straight. Even if a guy is into drag queens or trannies, a dick is a dick.” How true… [Gay Socialites]

Former Big Brother contestant Kent Blackwelder filed a $4 million lawsuit against porn promoting Specialty Publications after his “curious” (read: nosy) daughter opened a gay porn mailing. The “curious” girl thought the package was from Disney and both father and daughter were “shocked, disgusted and enraged” by the true contents: Titan Men’s Farm Fresh. [365 Gay]

Australian glossy DNA snuggles up to porn star Chris Rockway this month.

And, of course, the gay-for-pay pumper tells all about his anal adventures: I’m mainly attracted to women. But sex with men can be fun. Guys get so hung up on labels and what people will think of them that they miss out on a lot. Once you get rid of the anxiety of doing something you don’t believe you are supposed to do you can enjoy it for what it is.

While I’m not attracted to the guys I’ve been with, a lot of us have become friends and we approach it like some guys would see a game of touch football, wrestling or horsing around. Guys being guys – just in a different way. Yeah, like soccer practice.

We’ve also included an introductory video of Rockway after the jump. Warning, it may decrease the actor’s desirability. It does, however, make us wonder exactly how straight he is…
