Take It All. Yeah!!

• You should nominate your favorite blogs for the 2007 Web Bloggies. And when we say favorite blogs, we mean us.

The Christian Post reports that Christian book publishers have been yanking Ted Haggard's books with more fierceness than he yanked Mike Jones' prick. They're also worried his writing career's dead. Um, right - he may no longer write on happy marriages, but we're sure there's a book in his future. Call it a hunch.

• Speaking of Mike Jones - he just won Joe.My.God's Queer of The Year contest. In his acceptance speech, Jones says, "To all who voted in the Queer of the Year, I would like to thank you even if you did not vote for me. Every one on the list deserved to win." We love a gracious hooker winner.

• Logo's announced a new lesbianic weekly internet talk show, according to Good As You. It's called "What She Said". How clever...must be those buckets of Viacom bucks.

Pink News UK reports that Police and Security Minister Tony McNulty and some chums are considering making racist, homophobic and other derogatory incitements illegal. Can you imagine never being able to call someone a cracker faggot? We shudder at the thought.

• So, Justin Timberlake's apparently done with Cameron Diaz, according to Star Magazine. Interesting, because we kind of forgot about them. Okay, okay, we forgot about her.

Lane Hudson does not approve of Dennis "Hasturd" Hastert's official response to that whole Mark Foley/Page scandal. How do we know? Well, he said so on his blog: News For The Left.

AKA: We Want Your Votes!

gb_badge5.jpg
While we hope all you crazy kids vote during next week's midterm elections, we're praying you all cast your ballots in Queer Click's first annual Gay Bloggie Awards. And, of course, we hope you vote for us: the sexiest, most entertaining, and downright swell homo-journos this side of the internet super highway.

And, once you're done casting your vote for the Bloggies, why not go on over to Lone Star Verve and do the same for their contest?

If we win, editor Andrew Belonsky will show you his left nipple. And if we win big, you'll get the right one, too. What a treat!

You Know We Want Your Vote, Homie

logo.jpg
Hey! You! Yeah, you. Did you know that voting ends today for the 2006 Gay Bloggie Awards?

Well, it does.

And, you know, we really like you, so we were sort of hoping...you know, if you could show us some love, too.

Please? Pretty please with sprinkles and all that? If we win, we'll love you even more than we do now (as if that's possible). And, if we don't? Well, we don't even want to entertain the thought. It's far too painful.

Voting is over. The clicking is through. Egos were built up. And then you ripped them down, one ballot at a time. Now the time has come to crown Queerty's Man of MySpace. With nearly 5,500 votes counted, we're proud to announce that your shallow voting criteria and ambivalent voting decisions have chosen the winner to be ... Ernest!

momy_ernest.jpg

We'll be sending Ernest on an all expenses paid vacation to ... his mailbox — where he can pick up the hottest gear in skivvies courtesy of aussieBum! So, how did Ernest win our Men of MySpace competition? By a nice margin, we'd say. If you've been following the voting, Alex had an early lead ahead of Glenn, James, and even Ernest. But may some grassroots efforts on MySpace took him to the lead?

200608-myspacewinner.gif

Either way, a sincere congratulations to Ernest, a guy who long ago wore out his copy of Billy Elliot. Now that you've got no more profiles to click on, why not check ours out? And befriend us, won't you?

menofmyspace.jpg

We're closing the voting on Queerty's Men of MySpace contest at noon (Eastern) today — so it's your last chance to choose who you want to wear the mostly meaningless crown. We've clocked more than 5,000 votes so far in the race between Ernest, Glenn, James, and Alex. Not sure who's who? Click back here to learn about our finalist fellas — then vote below.

Who's your Queerty Man of MySpace winner?

After a week-long haul, the day you've been waiting for has arrived! Today you'll be choosing the winner of Queerty's Men of MySpace competition, who will go home with our barely impressive title as well as some hot swag, courtesty of aussieBum. With voting now officially closed, we can now reveal the four finalists. Put your hands together for: Ernest, James, Glenn, and Alex.

Some of the wins were virtual shutouts: On Monday, Ernest blew away the competition with 2010 votes compared to second-place Mikey's 358. Tuesday's race had James beating out Matt 483-392. Wednesday's face-off had Glenn's 509 votes trumping Mikey (2)'s 338. And Thursday saw Alex barely slip by Nathan with 537 votes — just six more than Nathan earned.

But the clicking isn't over yet. Now we need you to choose among our four top fellas. Click back to Monday's Part I to read about Ernest, Tuesday's Part II to read about James, Wednesday's Part III to read about Glenn, and Thursday's Part IV to read about Alex — and then make your decision below, after this quick reminder of who's who.

Voting will be open all weekend. On Monday, we'll announce the winner of Queerty's Men of MySpace competition — and you can spend the rest of the day begging for a friend add. In the meantime, be sure to add Queerty as your MySpace friend. Visit our (soon to be revamped) profile here.

Hey! You! Over there! Don't you know it's the last day of semi-finalist voting 'round Queerty's Men of MySpace competition? After nearly 900 votes clocked from yesterday's Part III (which put Glenn as the strong frontrunner), we enter Part IV today with our last three fellas. Tomorrow we'll grab the top guys from each round of voting and have them face off against your harsh criteria on what it takes to be Queerty's Man (and who snags the loot from aussieBum). But before we get to all of that, we need you to choose today's winner, aiight?

momy_nathan.jpg

Meet Nathan. He's a 25-year-old from Brooklyn who doesn't reveal much in his classic MySpace page, though he's quite the short story fan. (David Sedaris fan, too.) He's single, which might be enough for some of you to vote. [Visit Nathan's MySpace profile here.]

momy_gary.jpg

Meet Gary. This 35-year-old in L.A. claims he's "had about as many careers and hair colors as I have t-shirts." He likes to talk to his cats, eavesdrop on neighbors, and force friends into watching reruns of Knots Landing. Just the type of guy you're looking for, right? Well, perhaps he is if he didn't already take that trip to Aruba he won on the game show Pyramid. [Visit Gary's MySpace profile here.].

momy_alex.jpg

Meet Alex. This 25-year-old from Ft. Lauderdale sports nearly 150 friends and some dizzying Photoshop effects throughout his gallery. He's an art school dropout who probably spends far too much time playing video games — which is fair, given that his actual job is "game designer." [Visit Saulo's MySpace profile Alex.]

Who's your Man of MySpace for Part IV?

Nathan

Gary

Alex

And remember: Today's the last day or regular voting. Tomorrow we round up the results, select the top four guys and have you vote on who you want to be your Queerty Man of MySpace. Fun, huh? In the meantime, be sure to add Queerty as your MySpace friend. Visit our (soon to be revamped) profile here.

More than 900 votes – 900! – are in from yesterday's Part II of Queerty's "Men of MySpace" competition, where we've surveyed your hundreds of nominees and used our skills in being judgmental to narrow it down to just twelve semi-finalists. We've gone through six guys so far, with three more today and three tomorrow. On Friday you'll be voting among the four finalists to choose the Queerty Man of MySpace — and choose which guy gets our undying affection and some hot crotch gear, courtesy of aussieBum. Not sure what all this is about? Read up on the competition here. Now let's get to today's goods.

momy_glenn.jpg

Meet Glenn. We immediately fell for this 28-year-old from Royal Oaks, Michigan, because the nomination email that was sent in noted that "he’ll dirty fuck you frat boy style." Hot. Sporting a classic MySpace customization, this Detroit Marathon runner likely deserves your vote — so long as he loses the chintzy shades popping up in his photos. [Visit Glenn's MySpace profile here.]

momy_mikey2.jpg

Meet Mikey (2). Not be confused with our earlier Mikey. This 20-year-old Brookline, Mass., resident won us over with a much needed break from Europop with some Virginia Coalition playing as we browsed through his 350 friends. Mikey claims to have " a horrible sense of fashion" and, according to the nomination email, this former professional yo-yoer (huh?) is a bear cub who is a "distance runner" in the bedroom. Roar! [Visit Mikey's MySpace profile here.]

momy_kevin.jpg

Meet Kevin. This 19-year-old from Forest Grove, Ore., seems to be spend most of his days running outdoors (though when it's raining, you'll find him on his Xbox). A drunk girl once told this Pacifici University student he's got "awesome calves," Maybe you and his 181 friends agree? [Visit Kevin's MySpace profile here.]


Who's your Man of MySpace for Part III?

Glenn

Mikey (2)

Kevin

We'll be back with you tomorrow with Part III — and the final results on Friday. And be sure to add Queerty as your MySpace friend. Visit our (soon to be revamped) profile here.

Today brings Part II of Queerty's "Men of MySpace" competition. If you're just joining us now, this week, with the help of aussieBum, we're crowning one lucky fellow Queerty's Myspace Man. Monday thru Thursday of this week we'll post three guys per day for you to vote on. On Friday, the leaders from each of those rounds go head-to-head to win the rather meaningless superlative we'll bestow upon them — plus some hot free swag from aussieBum. Yesterday's kick-off brought in more than 500 votes, with our fair Mikey in the lead. Who will be today's leader? Your superficial voting criteria will decide. Let's get to it.

momy_al.jpg

Meet Al, a 34-year-old computer tech from Mountain View, Calif. We're a little worred about Al's MySpace future; with just two friends (and one of them being the omnipresent Tom) and minimal profile customization, we're not sure how serious this guy is taking his social networking. But he's got a hottie on the beach in Speedos as his background, so surely that will gather some votes. [Visit Al's profile here.]

momy_matt.jpg

Meet Matt. He's 20 years old and everything you'd want in a Texan. He professes to love working out and, from the looks of his Top 8, so do his friends. He's a wresling type and may or may not be using MySpace as a dating service. He's got nearly 1,000 friends — what else are we supposed to expect? [Visit Matt's profile here.]

momy_james.jpg

Meet James, a 22-year-old from Ann Arbor, Mich., who proudly boasts that he's a bassist in an Iron Maiden cover band. With 159 friends, he's not exactly hurting for more, but c'mon: He's a student and could use all the handouts a matriculating fella can get. [Visit James' profile here.]

Who's your Man of MySpace for Part II?

Al

Matt

James

We'll be back with you tomorrow with Part III — and the final results on Friday. And be sure to add Queerty as your MySpace friend. Visit our (soon to be revamped) profile here.

Remember a few weeks back when we had you nominate the MySpace profiles of your friends, lovers, ex-lovers, and your own damn selves? Now you understand why: Let us introduce "Queerty Presents: The Men of MySpace," our completely superficial contest where you get to choose who, among the hundreds of nominees you submitted – seriously, there were a lot – gets the dubious award of Queerty's Man of MySpace.

Monday thru Thursday of this week, we'll be introducing you to three Men of MySpace each day, as selected by your semi-qualified Queerty editors. It'll be your duty to vote each day for your favorite — based on personality, looks, number of friends, profile personalization skills ... whatever criteria you require in your own MySpace Man. On Friday, we'll bring together the top picks from each of the four days for one final vote — and the winner of this final round will receive the dubious honor of Queerty's Man of MySpace.

And what does the winner get? Some hot free swag, courtesy of aussieBum. The outfitter from Down Under will be providing the winner with a selection of its highly sought after swim gear, which can make anyone's ass look tight. So let's get to the voting, shall we?

momy_ernest.jpg

Meet Ernest. This 23-year-old from Orchard Park, N.Y., was most recently spotted at a Kelly Clarkson concert. Besides connecting with him on his Harry Potter obsession, perhaps you'll go after his chiseled chest and abs? If nothing else, help this "Michael from Queer As Folk" character add to his lowly 47 friends. [Visit Ernest's profile here.]

momy_josh.jpg

Next up is Josh, a cute 21-year-old hailing from Salt Lake City. He's the "long walks on the beach" and "cuddling in front of a movie" type. He's also the running and swimming type. Bonus points? He's a pilot. Josh's nomination came from someone who didn't even know him — except on MySpace. Won't you join his online fan club? You'll be competing with his 112 friends. [Visit Josh's profile here.]

momy_mikey.jpg

And lastly, today, we've got Mikey, whose St. Louis locale makes us hope he's got a Midwestern drawl. He claims to have served in the Army (hot) and ran for U.S. Congress in '04 (even hotter). He claims to have a daring sense of humor, which we'll have to ask one of his 466 friends about. The kicker: We're not sure how Dolly Parton's "9 To 5" playing in the background of his MySpace page is going to play with voters. [Visit Mikey's MySpace profile here.]

So who's your vote?

Who's your Man of MySpace for Part I?

Ernest

Josh

Mikey

We'll be back with you tomorrow with Part II — and the final results on Friday. And be sure to add Queerty as your MySpace friend. Visit our (soon to be revamped) profile here.

Congratulations are in order for Brad, our winner. We will be sending him a copy of Moby's new DVD "Live. The Hotel Tour. 2005."
