CNN International’s Richard Quest, seen here in a tight-fitting tee, will help take some of the attention away from ABC News and its fumbled debate, thanks to his arrest early this morning in Central Park.

Found inside the lush green acres at around 3:40am today, he volunteered to police, while being escorted off the property, that he was carrying meth.

Amores Perros and Babel director Alejandro González Iñárritu just signed on to direct commercials for The Meth Project. And they're just as unsettling as you would imagine, like this one - a jonesing man hitting his mother, whom he's also robbing. They grow up so fast!

How does one fight the meth epidemic? California officials and ad executives are hoping the answer lies in a multi-million dollar print, billboard and commercial campaign:

California drug officials launched an $11-million barrage of billboards, bus wraps, cable TV ads and a website Thursday aimed at discouraging gay men from using methamphetamine, an illegal stimulant linked to risky sexual behavior and the spread of HIV.
…
A statewide survey, also released Thursday, found that crystal meth use was 11 times more common among gay men than in the California population overall. Fifty-five percent of 549 gay and bisexual men surveyed said they had used the drug, compared with 5% of the general population.

Sorry, Me Not Meth campaign, we think you should show what meth addicts really look like: toothless, gray faced, zombified nightmares. These boys look like models.

It's Tuesday, readers. You know what that means: It's time for Tuesday Trolling - when we compile the most thought-provoking, disease-spreading and skin-crawling of Craigslist's sexverts.

We're taking a little diversion this week to highlight a worrisome, touching and actually thought-provoking post sent from an Atlanta-based reader. It's since been flagged for removal from the M4M section. Luckily our reader comes fulled equipped for foresight and copied the text, which we've included after the jump.

Thom Elsemiller may not rock the latest fashions or trends, but this man's got style down to a science.

Elsemiller first caught eye years ago, when we'd see him walking his three miniature schnauzers around Chelsea. Sure, a man walking his dogs isn't particularly interesting in this gayborhood, but when one of the dogs sports purple mohawks and polkadots, one definitely take notice. Aside from the pup's unique breed of style, Thom's very being counts as one of the warmest, most welcoming aura's we've encountered in this usually chilly city. And his threads are fly, too. So, when we sat down to plan out The Style Issue, we made sure to leave room for one of our favorite New Yorkers.

Welcoming as always, Thom, who works as a Cranial Follicular Specialist (read: hairstylist) invited editor Andrew Belonsky into his one bedroom home for a little tour. One bedroom may not sound like a lot - and, really, it isn't - but Thom's created a space as cozy as it is eclectic, thus giving his twenty-by-twenty living room turned bedroom a spacious, homey feel. (As a true style maven, he's turned the 'bedroom' into a closet.)

While Belonsky went there to talk about the dogs and the apartment, the boys conversation took the predictably unpredictable twists and turns. Read the results, after the jump…
