Gag! Did you hear? California's letting anyone get married. Even Michael Lucas!

The state, which this year legalized gay marriage thanks to some "activist" judges, will soon host the blessed nuptials between the porn producer and his long-time, same-sex lover, Richard Winger. Liberal West Hollywood city councilman John Duran will officiate. Those are some San Francisco values right there…

Then, after they've tied their gay knots, Lucas and Winger will host a private, "special" ceremony for the pro-homosexual No on 8 agenda. Look at them politicizing marriage. For shame!

From the pornographer's press release:

The couple will use the event to host a fundraiser for Equality California, a leading statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights and advocacy organization. Through their “No On Prop 8” campaign the group has been spearheading the fight against the homophobic Proposition 8 initiative, which calls for the elimination of the right for same-sex couples to marry.

While both individuals are prominent members of the gay and lesbian community in New York City, the couple must hold their ceremony in California at this time for two reasons. First, New York State does not acknowledge same-sex marriages performed within the state. Secondly, if Proposition 8 passes in November, California may not legally recognize their marriage.

But, seriously, we're oh-so-happy for Lucas and Winger. We've already got our wedding present picked out. Hope it fits!

If there's one thing Michael Lucas knows how to do, it's nipping things in the bud.

The porn mogul got a bit of a surprise yesterday when rival studio Spunk alleged that Lucas has been secretly funding and distributing a line of bareback porn. Well, Lucas flat out denies it. But a simple denial wouldn't be dramatic enough to suit Lucas' style, so he issued his "disinterested" reaction from South America, where he's presumably on vacation.

Lucas Entertainment never had and does not have any intentions to produce bareback videos. Our company is also not concerned about Spunk Video’s motives to issue such a baseless press release.

When informed of the press release, CEO and President Michael Lucas, who at this moment is in South America, said via phone, “I’m not even remotely interested in reading Spunk Video’s press release, and Spunk Video is welcome to take any letter they have to any court they choose."

Furthermore, Michael Lucas and Lucas Entertainment are not interested in continuing this conversation. We feel this issue was closed before ever being opened.

There's nothing about this seems "closed." On the contrary, this gossip simply screams "big open mess."

The Hills girls may be incomprehensibly famous, but not all reality stars live their caviar dreams. For example, Rodrigo De Carli left his gay porn star life at Rascal videos to join the ranks of Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency.

Well, things didn't turn out quite the way he wanted, because the De Carli's gone back to his dick sticking ways:

…De Carli AKA Claudio Martin (who was originally a Rascal Video Exclusive) is returning to XXX films this summer in two upcoming Lucas productions: Flatiron Fuckers and Pounding the Pavement.

In a press released issued by Lucas Entertainment today it states that the former reality TV star will be featured in the film Flatiron Fuckers, coming out on June 24th, where he'll be taking from behind from porn pup Zack Randall.

Right where a reality "star" belongs…

There's little sunshine in Michael Lucas' world at the moment.

As some of you may know, the porn producer's mother, Yelena Treyvas, recently succumbed to cancer. She was a mere 59-years old.

While some of us haven't always agreed with Lucas' political agenda, nobody takes joy in such a loss. Or one shouldn't, at least.

Lucas certainly ain't celebrating these days, but the Russian-born 36-year old did find some time to put pen to virtual paper and write up an extensive reflection on his heart-wrenching experience.

Read what went down, how he feels about American doctors' "heartless" bedside manner and why he can't sleep at night. After the jump, of course…

Porn producer Michael Lucas apparently had a run in with the law last month:

A resident of 244 W. 23rd St., Michael Lucas, 36, was arrested on Sat., March 15, after a neighbor told police the defendant slapped and scratched him. Witnesses said Lucas broke several items in one of the apartments of the building and cut himself on the arm by the time police arrived.

Lucas' actions may have been sparked by personal upheaval: his mother died of cancer Monday morning.

"Michael Lucas did not plagiarize Ann Coulter." That's what the porn star's flack says, at least. Trusty publicity director Bryan Christopher swears that Lucas dictated the piece a week ago and asked him to hold off on publishing. He claims that the remarkable resemblance to Coulter's column, published two days previously, is simply coincidence. Right…

If imitation is the highest form of flattery, what does that make plagiarism? We don't know, but Michael Lucas probably does, because his Barack Obama bashing column has more than a few similarities with Ann Coulter's "Throw Grandma Under A Bus," which she published on March 19, two days before Lucas' piece.

It's really quite queer.

Finally, a Michael Lucas feud we can endorse! The pugnacious porn producer launched a fresh crusade today against - gasp! - himself!

Russian born Lucas sent out an open letter today questioning why one of his flicks, The Intern, won more GAYVN honors than another title, Gigolo. He complains that Gigolo received "raging" reviews and basically pleads that the GayVN's recognize the penis-heavy piece as the masterpiece he perceives it to be. Be sure, however, that Lucas does not want to raise the comparative bar too high:

My company has many questions about this situation. I do want to be clear: I am NOT comparing "Gigolo" to any other company's work. I am making a simple comparison to this movie and "The Intern." Even a retard wouldn't make the mistake that "Gigolo" is on a totally different planet. It's like comparing champagne to Coca-Cola, like comparing a diamond to a rock.

What sort of rock? Something hard and craggy, we're sure…

In a follow-up to Does Michael Lucas Have A Job?, we'd like to pass along a note the porn mogul penned to blogger Andy Towle. Lucas takes issue with Towle's coverage of two MK's legislative push against gay pride. Russian-born Lucas chides Towle for his apparently inflammatory conclusion. Writes Lucas, "You chose at the end of this post to point out more negative points about Israel, like demonstrations of a few hundred Hassidic Jews against Pride in Jerusalem, and the alleged bomber." While those news stories are negative, they're also handy references for Towle's readers. Anyway, we've included the entire email after the jump. Note that he begins by saying he knows Towle doesn't hate Jews. He doesn't give everyone that benefit. Queer.

We've always thought American football to be a little faggy - and now we have the totally unsubstantiated proof! Scientology exposer Ian Halperin - who infiltrated the "religion" by posing as a gay actor looking for a queer cure - tells us that a footballer basically outed the entire National Football League, especially the NY Giants:

One NFL star told me at least 15 percent of players in the NFL league are, and another 20 percent are bi. Interestingly, he said the NY Giants, who are in this year's super bowl, have at least a half dozen players who are gay.

Talk about a tight end! (Oh, c'mon! You should have seen that one coming!)

Meanwhile, the Scientologists are out for blood. Halperin tells us he's in hiding after some unsettling experiences:

It's been a crazy few days - almost got run over by a taxi outside where I live and then received phone threats. I've decided to lay low until this all calms down. I was warned by several Scientologists that this would happen once the book and film came out. I did not think it would be this bad…

Thus, Halperin has retreated to an undisclosed, mountainous location until things cool down a bit. We did the same thing when Michael Lucas came after us, except we hung out with Arabs. They're the porn star's kryptonite.

Halperin ain't the only person on the Scientological hit list. Gawker's Nick Denton definitely made some enemies after posting the infamous Tom Cruise video. Run, Denton, run!!

Here's the trailer to Halperin's since-delayed Hollywood Undercover:

The presidential race claims another victim…

Porn mogul Michael Lucas took some time today to send an open letter to our editor, Andrew Belonsky. He also sent it to his entire email list.

We didn't want you guys to feel left out, so you can read it and laugh your ass off - after the jump, of course.
