• The MSM has finally discovered the Brokeback Mountain parodies that have been filling our inboxes faster than shirtless pics of Clay Aiken. We're officially over both of them. [NY Times]

• While we're generally pretty unforgiving when celebs record themselves in their most private moments, we're going to take it easy on Texas A&M's Chris Walker. Not because he's half-naked and hot but because he's lip synching "Total Eclipse of the Heart." [Towleroad]

• In talking about his being a gay role model, Westlife's Mark Freehily says "I don't know that I necessarily like it too much because, knowing me, I would probably say the wrong thing."

•Katrina victims are apparently taking their $2,000 FEMA cards and buying Louis Vuitton signature bags. Are we missing something here?

•Schwarzenegger has said he'll veto any same-sex marriage bill in his state that reaches his desk. But, you see, it's now out that Arnie has had a long history with the gays. Apparently, as a young muscle-bound immigrant, he was making a great living pumping more than just iron.

•Yes, we know the fad of leather cuffs is over, unless of course you are heading to Folsom Street. But a new take of the cuff has been launched called PhotoCuffs. We are going for the butch Brooklyn model and filling it with all the new girls from Top Model.
