This Paul Newman and James Dean screen test proves our theory: they don't make men like they used to!

• We promise that once you start, you won’t be able to stop playing this game. Forget solitaire, “Let’s Go Cruisin’ With Lee Tamahori” might just be the computer game that gets you fired from your office job. [Secondsphere via Defamer]

• The next cycle of America’s Next Top Model doesn’t begin until next month. Until then we have America’s Top Cock. [Ruff And Hot]

• There was enough homoeroticism in A Rebel Without A Cause without a kiss between James Dean and Sal Mineo. Still a little guy on guy lip action would have been really, really hot. [Queer Day]

• We don’t see what the big deal with gay kisses is in the first place. [NBC]

• Brokeback Mountain has been banned in United Arab Emirates which means new resident Michael Jackson is out of luck if he wants to take in a showing. [Gay.com]

• Toby will sleep well tonight. It appears that Brat Boy has lost. [Vividblurry]

• The Geography Club is being sent back to the University Place, Washington high school where it was banned. But it’ll remain geographically-challenged at the town’s middle school. [KIROTV]

• LA is ceasing Oral HIV testing due to false positives. One of their “biggest concerns is the public is going to lose confidence in HIV testing.” You know, sort of like the way we lost confidence in the LAPD. [LA Times]

• Someone please tell Dennis Hopper he only has two weeks to check out the James Dean Museum before it shuts down for good. [USA Today]

We must confess that we fantasize about dead men all of the time. Not actual corpses, sicko, or walking corpses like Michael Douglas. No, we’ve had it bad for James Dean ever since we first started braiding our kid sister’s hair.

It has been long rumored that Dean didn’t quite rebel against the gay lifestyle. He’s been alleged to have dabbled in (or on) Hollywood’s old casting couch. Or in this case, a mauve chaise lounge. The book Boulevard of Broken Dreams dishes the dirt.

This Friday marks the 50th Anniversary of the Hollywood icon’s death. Mid-Western Queertees have the most opportunities to celebrate. His home state of Indiana is going for the next non-stop for the next few days with several "giant" events. Unfortuntaley, no look-alike wet t-shirt contests listed. And over in California the stretch of highway where he met his maker is being renamed after the James Dean Memorial Junction.

In order to appropriately honor Dean, head over to the official James Dean site where you can buy a set of coasters donning his image. It’s truly the American way.

The New York Times gives 50's Hunk Tab Hunter a chance to plug his new biography. Topics: being gay and closeted in Hollywood.

The Times maintains its respectability by asking Hunter thought-provoking questions such as which famous people he's slept with. Rock Hudson? Nope. James Dean? Just a friend. Anthony Perkins? Bingo! What no follow-up question about dressing up as Mrs. Bates?

Hunter also goes onto defend noted heterosexual Tom Cruise, saying he doesn't buy into the rumors. But he doesn't stop there. Though he himself at one point was a huge closeted movie star, he goes on to say he firmly believes none of the current batch of "A-list" stars are gay. Not one. I have a feeling the Hollywood Gay Mafia might disagree with that.

Hunter's book, Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star is out next month.
