By now, you've probably wrapped up most of your Father's Day celebrations. Some of you took your dad out to lunch; some of you were taken out to dinner by your kids. Some of you were blessed with both scenarios. And some of you have no relationship with your father (or children?) whatsoever, for any number of reasons.

Which category do you fall in? And how did you spend the day with dad, or being one?

Yesterday a video of Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf, recorded several years ago, surfaced and showed the blowin' up actor using the word "faggot" to instigate a friend to hit him in a little taunting spat.

You folks had mixed reactions (ambivalence?).

Now, a response from an "embarrassed" Shia, delivered via his rep, from gay gossip Marc Malkin: "The video tape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game amongst friends in which he uses a derogatory word towards a friend. He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone."

So, is the apology – issued by his publicist – good enough?

And in case you missed it, the video clip is below.

In an interview on World News Tonight this evening, Charlie Gibson sat down with John McCain for a post-Obamamania interview.

One question, and its answer, stuck with us: Gibson asked McCain, "Are you the underdog?" McCain said yes.

Is he?

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano went from being gay media darling to GLBT nemesis in an instant after he compared transsexuals – the butt of his signature "hot tranny mess" line – and drag queens to the "white trash" of the straight community.

This week's Time Out New York asked Siriano: "Drag has always been part of our experience and always will be. What is its everlasting appeal? Why won’t it ever die?"

He replied: "If you think of heterosexuals, they have white-trash women and trailer parks, and we have drag queens and trannies. I don’t know if I’m the one who can explain it. It’s, like, drag queens are just there. These answers are hard!"

GLAAD, as it's wont to do, got upset. So Siriano clarified: "I wish that my words were not taken in that way. When I was speaking, some comments that I made were not used in the article. I completely support the fabulousness and amazing fashion inspiration that most transgender people provide."

So, is all forgiven? Should he stop using the "hot tranny mess" line? Or are some people overreacting?

You know, besides the "having to work out" part.

For some gay men, the gym is part social calendar, part lifestyle requirement, and part de-stress-er. And while we love getting our regular endorphin rush, there are a number of things we absolutely detest about the gym. Or rather, gym culture.

Among them:

• Locker room cruising (though we know this to be some gym-goers primary reason for even having a membership)
• Guys who, while watching TV on the elliptical, burst out into uncontrollable laughter
• People who do not wipe the sweat off the machines or mats they use
• Ultra-tight clothing on ultra-un-fit guys; ultra-revealing clothing (you know how short those shorts are) on anybody
• Trainers, whose career is to make people fit, that are the least fit people on the floor (do not tell me to do 50 more jumping jacks when you have a double chin and a spare tire)
• Trainers who treat their clients as sounding boards for their personal problems (who's paying who here?)
• Chatty Cathys
• Anybody resembling this

Surely this little list doesn't include some of your gym pet peeves. What are they?

Earlier this month, a comprehensive list of books every fella should read – "100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library" – was released by The Art of Manliness, a expert blog about all things, um, manly.

Many of the books are great works of fiction: The Great Gatsby, 1984, The Catcher in the Rye, which are all a bit obvious.

This Memorial Day weekend, whether you're off the the beach or visiting with family, you've likely got a paperback tucked in your travel tote. So, tell us, what are you reading? And, more importantly, what's a must-read for men?

In the meantime, we'll - cough - see you next Tuesday
