Elton John had a busy weekend. Not only did the knighted pop star celebrate 60 years of fabulosity, but he apparently made a little time for the Black Party. Or, that's what Ben Widdicombe would have you believe. He writes in today's Gatecrasher:

...Elton John celebrated his 60th-birthday weekend in New York with a visit to the infamous Black Party, an annual gay S&M-themed bash at Roseland Ballroom.

He was spotted around 3 a.m. holding court in a small back room with a new pal, described as "a very tall and muscular African-American man wearing black leather."

But our source - who, like Mr. J., was sober - says his visit failed to make much of a stir among the revelers: "Everyone was so messed up on drugs or drink they could have seen anything and hardly noticed or cared."

• We love how the people who make Spider Man's costumes act like they're job's so boring. Seriously, why are they so nonchalant about it. If we had those skills, we'd be all like, "What, motherfuckers? We've got the coolest job in the world, so you better have something good to say if you're going to come around here jabbering that jaw of yours." Then we'd make ourselves a hot costume and live our our Ass Licker! fantasies.

• Eeks! And sounds like we already have a super-villain to fight: parishioners from the Colorado Springs-based Grace Church and St. Stephen's Parish have broken off from the American Episcopalians and are aligning themselves with Peter Akinola and his baddies.

• No more modeling for Reichen. No, no. He's using that body to write a second book.

• We never thought Jonathan Zhang would top last week's rousing investigation of why you should wear underwear, but we were wrong. This week he takes on cheating - to which he readily admits. Yes, it's true, Zhang used to sneak around. But not anymore. He's all sorts of happy with his new man. The proof's in the pudding: "True, the never-ending temptation of the dirty SMSes and hot men at the clubs are still there, but I’ve found my perfect dish, and he tastes different everytime I eat him." We're never, ever sucking dick again.

• Gawker went to the Black Party and all they got was this lousy link. Oh, and a bitching case of crabs.

• Sarah Wheeler once lived as a lesbian. Now, she's fighting gay adoption rights. She's like the queer Benedict Arnold. Only a woman, so she'd be Bettina. Or Benedicta.

• Newsweek answered our prayers! They've compiled made our a list of America's top 50 Rabbis! And you know who's on there? Sharon Kleinbaum: Hebrew Homo activist extraordaire! Our hero:

That's right, girl.

Buck Angel is the world’s first FTM porn star. Buck took some time from his busy schedule to catch up with Bradford Shellhammer to discuss the porn biz, the Black Party, and Michael Lucas.

At what age did you realize you wanted to begin transitioning?
From my earliest memories I've always felt like a boy; I never felt like a girl. The man that I am was trapped inside my female body. Always. If I'd known about it sooner, I would have done it sooner. Once I learned that it was an option, I went for it. It was over10 years ago, when I was in my 20s.

You took hormones and had a chest surgery. Why did you not alter your vagina?
Unfortunately, the surgery that they have to create a penis is not up to my standards for aesthetics and function, and it can cost over $50,000. Plus, there is a chance of losing your ability to have an orgasm. No thanks! I don't need a penis to feel like a man, and to be a man. From the reactions I've seen it appears a lot of men don't realize you don't need a cock to be a man. But I am all man, even with my mangina. And I enjoy my pussy--I like to get fucked. It doesn't make me feel like any less of a man!

Why porn? Had you always been drawn to it?
I've been in the industry for quite a while. Initially I was on the other side of the camera. For years I produced other porn--fetish, and Male-to-Female porn. Eventually I realized that, while there was tons of MTF/shemale porn, there wasn't ANY FTM porn. I thought someone needed to step up to the plate, and I decided I was the man for the job.

More Buck after the jump.
