This performance is from the 2011 National Asian American Theater Festival, where I performed alongside singer/songwriter Brandon Patton as part of Jukebox Stories - our storytelling, song-singing, bingo-playing, theatrical extravaganza. Watch:

So, dear readers, below is a video about women's butts! How about that?! How do you like me now?

In the following clip, Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross waxes philosophical (that's the generous term for what he's doing here) about "The Five Least-Subtle Tributes to Women's Derrieres," featuring music videos that honor the female ass. While Sir Mix-a-Lot's #1 hit single, "Baby Got Back," is an obvious pick, there are plenty of others meant to boost booty pride. Watch:

You can keep posted about this developing story on my blog or my Facebook page or my Twitter feed or my YouTube Channel. (Yes, I'm a social media whore - but a high-class one.)

Anyway, "Cooler Than Me" is the first single from Posner's 2010 full-length debut album, 31 Minutes to Takeoff, a compulsively listenable dance track that I never want to dance to in public because my superior attitude would be crushed in an instant, under the weight of my two left feet.

Anyway, listen:

1. The brutally entertaining Rio de Janeiro crime movie, City of God, made me feel like I was trapped in a cocaine-induced nightmare.
2. I have joked repeatedly in that past that I will someday write a play titled Brazilian Soccer Team Locker Room because the auditions for that show would be the BEST AUDITIONS EVER.
3. I keep trying to devise ways of getting my hot Brazilian house painter to take off his shirt.

Perhaps it's the latter two items that prompted a friend of mine (thanks, Rob F.! - perv!) to send me a link to the Made in Brazil blog, which recently announced - with a certain amount of conviction, I might add - The Hottest Brazilian of 2010. His name is Mateus Verdelho. And goddamn - look at that picture - I ain't gonna argue!

I would've made an album in my dorm room back when I was going to college, but I spent most of my freshmen year being sexiled by my horny roommate. (Yeah, I mean you, Ashby!)

Anyway, listen:

So I don't know what kinds of tunes DJs are spinning in clubs nowadays, gay or otherwise. But I hope Sam Adams's "Driving Me Crazy" was on heavy rotation this past year. It's an infectious dance/hip-hop hybrid that features a college soccer captain-turned-rapper who had the fortunate audacity to sample Annie Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass" with sublime results. And there's something kind of hot about straight guys listening to iconic gay divas and liking them enough to create a sort of artistic mind-meld with them.

Listen and watch:

As I contemplate the new year and what shall grace my bare wall, I will once again consider the Asian Men Redefined calendar and its hunky models. They make a big deal about how proceeds will benefit the Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, but I'm shallow enough to only care about the quality of monthly shirtless guys. (Man, they don't know their target audience, do they?)

Ready for a sampling? Click the pics to engorge, er, I mean, enlarge:

To stoke my imagination even further, Williams recently teamed up with former Take That (an early-90s UK boy band) bandmate Gary Barlow for a song and music video titled "Shame," a Brokeback Mountain-inspired man-on-man love story.

Watch:

The rather innocent article is here.

As for the implications of this headline, I think it's pretty accurate. I mean, haven't you ever bowed down to "dix," despite being exhausted? You can't get too much of a good thing!

In the vein of those unintentionally funny educational videos of the 1950s, The Homosexual Menace is an intentionally funny take on gay panic. This short cartoon mocks stereotypes with queer-filled glee, as well as creates absurd new ones.

Jail Officers Astonished by Inmate's Contraband

WENATCHEE, Wash. - Police in Wenatchee are surprised at the amount of contraband an inmate was able to smuggle into the jail rectally. The Wenatchee World said the man internally carried a cigarette lighter, rolling papers, a baggie of tobacco the size of a golf ball, a smaller baggie of marijuana, a 1-inch smoking pipe, a bottle of tattoo ink and eight tattoo needles.
