Buzzkill Alert: Leave it to the first legal male prostitute to have both morals and a “women only” policy. Hired by the Nevada brothel The Shady Lady Ranch, their newest history-making hire is a M-A-N (named “Markus“, though not his real name), and a rather self-indulgent one at that.

Yes, in an interview in which he compares having sex for money to the plight of Rosa Parks (I’m not kidding), the US’ first male prosti-dude is a Freud-spouting snoozefest.

If you can make it through the epic and insomnia-curing Details interview with the man-of-and-by-the-hour, you’ll discover that he takes his position very seriously. Though he himself will now be getting $200 for 40 minutes of time, he does not consider himself a prostitute, rather an “equal-opportunity surrogate lover”.  “Markus” is not entirely “equal” - though he has a very complimentary opinion of gay men (”they’re very classy, well-organized people”) - he is not for sale to them.

This may not be such a loss anyway, as “Markus” discloses “I don’t have that much experience with sex.”  With an unemployment rate as high as our current one, this is the best the Shady Lady Ranch could do? - Brian Masefield

In honor of Super Bowl Sunday, we’ll go back in time and view this clip from Living Color’s Men on Football.  This camp classic from the Wayans brothers series is better and gayer than any of the plays tonight!

A Transsexual woman sued the IRS over a tax deduction for the costs of her sexual reassignment surgery (sex change operation) and won.  Male-to-Female Transsexual Rhiannon O’Donnabhain, challenged the Internal Revenue Service when they rejected  her deductions for medical expenses associated with the gender-change treatments, believing it  was a cosmetic procedure and not medically necessary.  But this week, the US Tax Court ruled that O’Donnabhain and all other Transsexuals should be allowed to deduct the expenses of treatments for gender-identity disorder, including sex-reassignment surgery and hormone treatments.

“The tax court has spoken for my community and has supported my community by saying that this is a proper medical deduction, much the same as an appendectomy or open heart surgery,” O’Donnabhain told reporters this week.  “It was a proper medical deduction, and it certainly is not cosmetic surgery as the IRS contended.” she said.

Nothing was mentioned about deducting the costs of make-up and high-heeled pumps! - Lady Clover Honey.

The popular Monday night bear/cub/otter/silver fox party “Woof!” at New York City’s View Bar was recently the site for the First Annual “Mr. Woof!” Contest.  Five contestants– Ryan, Jared, Brandon, Nick, and Leo– vied for the chance to win the envied title.  Hosted by porn star and promoter Mike Dreyden, the celebrity judges were well-known men-about-town Will Clark, Torez, and Jonny Mack.  After the crowd was warmed up by go-go boy Ricky and worked up even more by contestants Nick (in a leather jockstrap) and Leo (in tight leather shorts) playing pool, DJ Joe X launched into Mickey Avalon’s “Stroke Me”, and each of the contestants had his turn on “the box”.  The three judges then asked each of the five guys a really probing question, like “Are you a top or a bottom?” When judge Will Clark asked contestant Jared, “During sex, whose name do you frequently call out?”, his answer was… “Bruce Willis!” (Sigmund Freud, analyze that!)  The audience’s enthusiasm would determine the winner, but the volume of applause between the two hairiest guys was too close to tell.  So, the next step was a showdown dance-off between Ryan and Jared.  The winner was Ryan Moller, who was not only had the best moves but also knew how to win the crowd– making lots of eye contact and workin’ that boyish charm with the testosterone-heavy audience.

Theater Review and Exclusive Cast Interviews by Jed Ryan

In “Daddy”, the intriguing new play by Dan Via, we meet Colin and Stew: two men living in Pittsburgh who have been friends since their college days at Yale.  Colin (Gerald McCullouch) is a popular writer and the self-proclaimed top scorer for his soccer team.  He’s charming, self-assured, and… shall we say, quite “easy on the eyes” (and to boot, he wears a size twelve and a half shoe…).  Law professor Stew (Dan Via) is not as self-confident as his friend, and is a bit more… shall we say, “tightly wound”.  In case you haven’t figured it out, these two are pretty much complete opposites, right down to their choice of clothes and their facial expressions.  Colin emanates affable frat boy/jock charm with his smile, while Stew clearly wears his angst on his face.  Differences aside, their friendship is rock solid– although they’re not above shooting some verbal arrows at each other. Colin taunts Stew with zingers like, “I didn’t know you were that worked up about gay marriage.  You haven’t even been on a date since…!“.  Stew gets his chances to retort with lines like, “I realize modesty is a confusing concept for you!”

Here’s a juicy tidbit below from BlindGossip.com that been getting a lot of dish.  Who can it be?  BTW, Tween is a term used to describe someone in their early Twenties or late Teens.

“This A list male tween singer has some big issues to face. The issue that is threatening everything though is the fact that his sometime boyfriend snapped some naked pictures of our singer while he was sleeping. Combined with some pictures that were previously taken of the two kissing would be a huge PR nightmare.”

Film Review by Jed Ryan

At the 20-year reunion of the Helena High School Class of 1985, one of the attendees declares, “All of us have changed since then!” For filmmaker Kimberly Reed, that’s an understatement.  Reed is a statuesquely beautiful, doe-eyed, Nordic-looking woman (She bears more than a passing resemblance to late actress Natasha Richardson.) whose own personal story is the basis for the new documentary “Prodigal Sons”.  Kim, who lives in New York City, used to be “Paul”– and she is attending her high school reunion in her Montana hometown with her brother Marc.  The sister and brother have been estranged for more than a decade, largely because of sibling rivalry.  Kim reveals to the audience that she’s nervous about how her former classmates will react to her and her life partner Claire: Having been a star athlete and voted “Most Likely to Succeed” in high school, she tells us,“Now, I was just hoping that they wouldn’t laugh at me”.  As it turns out, her peers are exceptionally welcoming.  At a keg party at an old classmate’s house, she meets up with her prom date, her former best friend, and others– all to positive response.

New York City, for the very first time, is including gay-themed programming on its official television station, NYC Life (WNYE Channel 25).

Under the Pink Carpet, the LGBT themed news/magazine series, will begin airing on Wednesdays at 10 PM starting February 3rd, underscoring the commitment of NYC Life television toward diversity through programming that reflects New York City and its residents.  The program represents the only television series to report on who’s who and what’s hot in LGBT arts, culture, and entertainment — focusing on music, theatre, film, television, arts, culture, nightlife, sports, and other events of interest to the LGBT community.

The series is produced, directed, and hosted by Tony Sawicki. Clover Welsh, aka renown New York City drag personality Lady Clover Honey, appears as a primary correspondent as well as serving as associate producer. Other on-air personalities include comedienne Michele Balan of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” writer/performer Robin Cloud, and reporter Stephanie Butler, with additional commentary by columnists from the online magazine Dishmiss.com: Jed Ryan, Brian Masefield, and Paul Case. Music for the series, including the new theme song, Work It Out (U’d Betta Do It) was created by recording artist Lovari.

NYC Media, the official TV, radio and online network of the City of New York, informs, educates and entertains New Yorkers about the City’s diverse people and neighborhoods, government, services, attractions and activities.

A major TV network bans gay content advertising on the highest-rated program.  CBS has rejected two television commercials, not allowing them to air during the Super Bowl football game next week.  One was an ad for a gay men’s dating service called ManCrunch.com, which shows two guys watching sports suddenly getting excited and then passionately kissing.  CBS says that spot “is not within the network’s broadcast standards for Super Bowl Sunday.”  ManCrunch is furious and released a statement saying “We’re calling on every same sex advocacy group to petition CBS and let them know this discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated.”

The network also will not accept a commercial for GoDaddy.com, the internet domain name registrar.  Their commercials features a wealthy flamboyant man who was once a professional athlete and is now a designer and internet entrepreneur.

As if this isn’t conroveslial enough, CBS is breaking a long standing policy of not accepting advocacy advertising by allowing the utra conservative Focus On The Family organization to run an anti-abortion ad.  I think that some execs at CBS should also be wearing football helmets, since there is obviously something wrong or damaged with their heads! - Lady Clover Honey.
