Obviously our minds are in the gutter right now, so what better time to plug the "humorous" mini-documentary for Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita, Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita: The Making of a Fashion Event.

You see that? It's an event. An event that has shaken and will continue to shake the world to its porn-loving core. Worlds collide as real models and real pornstars and real pseudo-celebrities help make a really rich man even more really rich. Really!

We would post the entire movie, but it's a bit long. So, here's the link. Expect a lot of eye candy, a few funny lines and a whole lotta Lucas.

Also, some of you may be wondering why we're giving Lucas a helping hand after talking shit about him in the past? Well, a few reasons: a. we know you guys want to see it, b. we're not complete haters and c. we're fear the wrath of Lucas' lips.

(Speaking of Michael Lucas' lips, we were just reviewing the video from the Out 100 and though we don't speak pornstar, if you listen closely it sounds like Lucas refers to you kids as our "retarded readers". We don't think you're retarded. We just think you have the lowest standards known to humanity. Which is good, because we do, too.)

It's been over 48 hours since Out Magazine's annual Out 100 awards: the standard length of time needed to digest all the homo happenings. We must say, we haven't seen that many gay luminaries since...well, since last year's Out 100.

We must admit, it's all a bit of a blur. Good thing we brought along our crafty camera man, Ted, who chronicled all of editor Andrew Belonsky's misadventures. While some people were more than happy to talk to us, others were a little reluctant (that's an understatement). And, as you'll see, most people didn't even know who the fuck we were. Nice, huh?

Watch as Anne Hathaway says she could bench-press our fearless editor, designer Michael Kors brags about knowing everyone, Out EIC Aaron Hicklin lets us in on the secrets behind the selection process, Noah's Arc's Wilson Cruz gripes about not being admitted into the VIP area, Kelis hypothesizes on why the homos love her and Michael Lucas gives us shit for all the nasty comments (and, it seems, attempts to win Belonsky's ice cold heart).

We also managed a few words with Claire Danes. She really wasn't in the mood to be interviewed, but Cruz and Hathaway totally used peer pressure to make our dreams come true. Thanks, homies.

Oh, yeah, and we totally chickened out on flirting with Choire Sicha. We were so close, but he looked really busy (read: intimidating).

As some of you may know, Out Magazine's hosting their annual Out 100 Awards tonight: their yearly celebration of notable homos and their admirers/allies. By some stroke of queer-luck, we've snagged an invite (okay, it's not really luck, Daddy David's being honored).

To prepare for the big night, we headed over to the fag-mag's Out 100 blog to see what they've got cooking. While there, we came across this post from Choire Sicha about how he and Out's legion of homo-journos will be blogging LIVE from said event. Pretty exciting, right? Well, not as exciting as this note from Sicha:

For those who are attending, you should feel free, even though I'm working, to hit on me should you feel so inclined.

You've been warned.

(Oh, and for all you kids lusting after Mr. Hauslaib, we'll be sure to snap a few candids for your scrapbooks.)

As you may or may not know, Out Magazine's Out 100 - their annual celebration of gay icons, leaders, and other notables - looms large on the horizon.

In celebration, they've enlisted some of Gayville's "biggest" names to blog-the-shit leading up to the November 10th event. Which names? Our friend Sam Spector, homo-songster Rufus Wainwright, Choire Sicha, and actor Michael Cavadias, to name a few.

Anyway, we moseyed on over to see how things are going and came across this piece on Out 100 honoree David Hauslaib: the man from whose loins we sprang. Here's a snippet of what Hauslaib had to say about his daily happenings:

"I go to the gym because my fat ass just got back from Paris and I need to work off the cheese.."

He goes on to say that he sometimes works up to 14 hours a day. Right. Now that we know he's tasted that dairy product of the gods, we'll never trust another word he says. He's probably in Rome right now, eating grapes off of barely legal hookers and snorting lines of gold.

Wait... Oh no! We hear footsteps. We think he's coming for us...

The Christmas season is hard upon us. Unlike years past, when deciding what to give a tranny friend was a hell of wigs and thongs, this year the decision has practically been made for you, thanks to Out 100 hero Jason Wu, a creative force behind the RuPaul doll. Advertised as being 99% plastic, 1% woman, the RuPaul doll is actually 100% fabulous, and may in fact be freely given to anybody on your list, from the card-carrying cross-dresser to little children who will benefit from learning about tolerance.

Wu explains that “The dolls were sculpted to RuPaul’s exact facial and bodily measurements. Photos were taken of Ru's face from every angle, then downsized and realized into a waxsculpture.” Six different models are available, each marking a different stage in Ru’s career: Supermodel, Red Hot, Glamazon, Workout, Glamazon (The RuMix), and Foxy Lady.

Because the live RuPaul towers over other supermodels at 6’4”, a veritable hunk of manwoman, the RuPaul doll was made 13”, to keep Barbie and her rabble in their places. Each model of the RuPaul doll comes with a couture wardrobe, which the manufacturer guarantees will make all the other dolls envious. So get in the holiday tranny spirit, buy a RuPaul doll, and sing the Ru classic Ho Ho Ho.

We had a blast at the Out 100 party Friday night, mingling with stars and friends alike. As Perez reports, Sharon Stone's speech was a bit, um, off.

We saw our pals Dan Renzi, Jason Bellini, and Kim Stolz and met many pretty fabulous people. Check out some Flickr photos: here and here. And also check out Patrick McMullan’s site. You just might catch our editor in a photo or two.

Thanks for the invite Out!

• We're not into golden showers, but according to the IMDB "before success as an actor, Jake Gyllenhaal worked as a lifeguard. He never had any life-saving incidents, but did perform one lesser rescue. A swimmer had been stung on the leg by a jellyfish, and Gyllenhaal helped relieve the pain of the stings -- by urinating on the swimmer's leg." Thanks SloppyJoe.

• Some gays over on Gay.com give advice on pick-up lines that actually work. One states “Just stare at me until we make eye contact.” Because that’s hot, not creepy.

• Um, why weren’t we invited to this?

• Out is about to release its OUT 100 list of the people who have made significant contributions to gay life. They are also throwing a party tonight and we’re going. Mission: meet Sharon Stone.

• Classic Toby has returned: “If there's one thing I like, it's a muscle-bound stud who casually wears a jockstrap stuffed with the trappings of a mid-90s rave. “ Thank God.
