A photo spread of Steve Cruz in Eurobear Magazine has been on the top of the stack in my nightstand for a few weeks - if you know what I mean. Gawd, he's hot! But I recently noticed that he has started a "beard blog" to chronicle his progress at growing some stubble. For a hairy bear cub like him, you'd think it would only take overnight, but he's on Day 22. Not bad for 3 weeks, it would take me three months, but I wouldn't even try at this point. I had sideburns past my earlobes that pointed down toward the edges of my mouth for a long time. Since the late 1980's, in fact, when I first saw a bartender at the Detour wearing them. A few months ago I wanted to try something different, so I let the sideburns grow into "mutton chops". A few people said they liked the mutton chops, but people often just say anything to be nice, whether they mean it or not. I got rid of them after Lazy Bear Weekend when I realized that the sideburns were completely gray, but the rest of my head only had about 10% gray. I am now sideburns-free, and hopefully a little more youthful looking. I am currently growing a moustache, just like the one I wore throughout the 1970's. I'm not sure I like it either, but I needed some sort of makeover. I also got new glasses, AND contact lenses. I'm still a little nervous about the contacts, cause I haven't worn them in 10 years, and I didn't need bifocals back then. But back to Steve Cruz, the idea for his "beard blog" came from an admirer from Texas who "per$uaded" him to grow it. (Hint Hint.) Add your comments below.

Thursday, August 30, 2007 NEW YORK — In reaction to the June 11 arrest of Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, for disorderly conduct in an incident in which Craig propositioned a male undercover police officer for sex in a Minneapolis airport bathroom, ABCNews.com posted an article describing the secret world of gay and bisexual men looking for anonymous sex in public locations. Gay social networking site CruisingForSex.com owner Keith Griffith was interviewed for the story and described online access to information about “cruising” locations and the system of signaling employed by men interested in sexual contact with unknown individuals. “If you’re passing through, say for instance, the Minneapolis airport and you’re horny and there’s a man sitting next to you sending all the signals that he’s interested in you, you might act on it,” Griffith told XBIZ.

Falcon Studios is in the process of producing a re-make of 90's classic, "Flashpoint: Hot As Hell". The original starred Brad Hunt, Hal Rockland, Bruce Matthews, Bryce Colby, Joe Spears, and Scott Baldwin. Released in the prehistoric era of 1994 and directed by John Rutherford, Flashpoint won awards for Best Cinematography, Best Director and was voted Video of The Year. Rutherford, now owner of COLT Studio, was quoted, "I have mixed feelings on this - though it was not my first movie for Falcon during my 15 years directing at the old bird, it was one with some of my all-time favorite memories while working there. I suppose that says something since I had directed, worked as cameraman and produced over 280 movies during my tenure. My new favorite movie that I'm most proud of in my new chapter here at COLT Studio is BuckleRoos - it's funny that BuckleRoos was actually shot, released and awarded exactly 10 years later... Not only coincidental, interesting as well while I journey forward. I hear they're using our location from BIG RIG on this new remake too - seems strange to imitate one movie while “remaking” another, but I hope it works out for them. " Currently in production under the helm of director Jett Blakk, the new Flashpoint has tentatively cast MATTHEW RUSH, ROMAN HEART, CORT DONOVAN, ERIK RHODES, TYLER RIGGZ and BRAXTON BOND, but there were a few spots still open. DALLAS REEVES, ERIC BLAINE and TYLER SAINT are at the top of the list, but so far don't have fuck partners yet. According to Jett Blakk's blog, he dredged up former 90's porn star Lou Cass ("Never Too Big" and "Sexy Billy Blue") to for a non-sex role as Psycho Sam, a nutcase that murders his drug dealer in a early scene. I've seen Lou Cass around San Francisco and he still looks great (despite the weird tattoos of Prince... WTF...), but was not interested in performing in a sex scene, so I am surprised he agreed to take this role. His before and after shots are below. I'm glad to hear Jett Blakk will now be directing for Falcon. He's a great guy and really takes script writing and production design seriously. Only a big studio like Falcon can get away with producing big, heavily scripted blockbusters, and I'm glad Jett Blakk has a big sandbox to play in. Stay tuned for more on the re-make of Falcon's Flashpoint. WATCH FLASHPOINT - FALCON STUDIOS WEBSITE - COLT STUDIO - LOU CASS MOVIES

I had to re-discover what's going on at Randy Blue the other day, and posted some updates with Braden and Brent, but today they sent me an email of the two of them TOGETHER! Randy says, "After Braden's smokin' hot video with Matthew I couldn't wait to have him back. He's got such a beautifully built muscular body that just watching him stand and around or walk across the room could give the most impotent man a hardon. Of course, I'm not about to just let him do that, I want to see him put that body to use. Enter Brent Diggs. This utterly adorable stud with the steel blue eyes has been hanging around a lot lately. His videos, both alone and in the circle jerk are mentioned every time I go out. Everyone wants to know when he's gonna be back on the site. So while he was in the studio helping us test the equipment for the live shows I suggested that he do a scene with Braden. His eyes lit up and he got all excited. They were part of a group that we took to Hot Dog here in LA recently and the two of them got along famously. So it was only natural I eventually put them in a scene together. The day of the shoot they both showed up looking as big and buff as ever. I could tell they had both been pumping up so they would both look amazing for the shoot, and it really shows. I think they were a little nervous working together for the first time but once things got going they both got really into it. I just love watching Braden suck cock, I could watch him do it for hours. I guess it's the way he maneuvers his massive muscular body around so that he can hit all the good parts, rolling his head around giving the cock full use of his mouth, and even pulling off with a big popping sound showing you just how hard he's sucking. He gives a cock his full attention and the guys he sucks off always enjoy it. Brent certainly didn't complain. He leans back and just takes it all in, letting the feeling wash over his entire body, and what a body it is. It's so hot watching him stroke that huge pole of his, his six pack abs crunching together, becoming more defined, as he leans into the stroke, then seeing his pecks firm up and his nips stick out as he leans back, a big smile on his sexy full lips. Two great hotties all worked up and sweaty, what else could you want?" Randy Blue Video Tour

Police have arrested a "suspect", (duh, he DID it...) at Black Rock City for allegedly climbing up into the wooden Burning Man structure and setting it on fire in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, well before the scheduled "burn" on Saturday night. According to SFGate.com, Paul Addis, 35, of San Francisco is described by festival organizers as an "attention whole" and the likely perpetrator. I'm pretty sure it's the same Paul Addis I've known for years as "Cyber Satan", a fast-talking leather-clad know-it-all anarchist attorney who frequently carries firearms and lethal hunting knives. Knowing him, it's exactly the type of stunt he would pull - whether it ruins the fun of seeing the proper spectacle of Burning Man for 40,000 people or not. I last saw Paul Addis at my New Year's Eve party, where the aggressively heterosexual and swaggeringly macho prankster showed up in slut drag (see photos). Um, that outfit was maybe little too believable for straight guy, perhaps...? To bring in the New Year, he also pulled out a ton of very big fireworks that night, too. That night he was promoting an upcoming one-man show where he was portraying his idol, drug-fueled gonzo writer Hunter S. Thomson. Always the scene-stealer, I also recall Cyber Satan getting one of my Folsom Fair after-parties started by fucking some girl right in front of us all. Need attention? And how badly does a straight guy need attention if he shows up at a gay street fair like Dore Alley and poses in ass-less chaps, as he did in this photo from 2003? Yeah, that's him. Attention whore indeed. Dr. Gonzo would have been proud. UPDATE: Paul Addis mugshot below. That's one for The Smoking Gun.

It's been a long time since I treated y'all to some free sample gay porn movies from Randy Blue. I am constantly amazed at how he can consistently find such hot guys to perform for him on camera - and a lot of the guys claim to be straight, too! Like Braden and Matthew, contrasting Braden's huge, beautiful bodybuilder's physique with Mathew's tight, defined, working man's body made for an exciting and erotic video. Lucky Daniels (below) decided it was time to take his porn career to the "next level" and have his first experience with toys. He is such a sexy and charming guy, nobody can escape... wait for it... Lucky's Charm. Join Randy Blue OR VIP Members Get More Straight Guys.

Click the banner above or the links below to see free gay porn sample video clips from: Hairy Boyz - starring Jeff Allen, Rik Jammer, and Robert Black. This vid is all about testosterone. When it starts, noted male sex-bombs Rik Jammer, bald and achingly hot, and Jeff Allen, hairy and hunky to the hilt are tied up and flogged. Then ever-sexy Robert Black, armbands showing how big his biceps are, enters the action and takes control. Plenty of aggressive/dom-sub action ensues before it all comes to a filthy end where Jeff and Rick cum on Robert's chest and then each man holds one of Robert's legs, bend him upside down until he cums right into his own mouth. Bang Bang Boys - Starring Adriano Rodgriguez, and Thomas. We started this video in the shower, so the guys could clean up and start the fun nice and fresh. I think Thomas was a little nervous, but I think he did very well indeed. Plus we need to give Adriano some credit as he did most of the work! Raging Stallion - Title: "Escape in Chains" by Cazzo Films Cast: Erik Lenn, Florian Kess, Marc Amon, Mario De Lazarius, Victor Racek. Expect a typical prison film and youre on the wrong track. Cazzos newest buddy film plays not behind bars, but on the run. Two horny convicts are chased across open country by the police. Cuffed together hand and foot they make their get away, bound so close by their chains they can barely run, let alone have a moment of privacy. No wonder these two studs cant keep their hands off each other. On a farm they find a willing stableboy who helps release them from their chains. As thanks the boy has to take it from behind. Believe it or not, the ensuing threesome turns him into a true submissive.

I love this quote. "Never miss an opportunity to have sex or be on TV." Gore Vidal.

I'm not sure why we all slept through this story last September, but when a book came out about Karl Rove titled, "The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power", the author dropped a bomb that Karl Rove's adopted father Louis Rove was gay. Not only was he gay, he was into ritual piercing parties! Gay AND kinky! And now, a guest columnist named Yard Dog from a Body Modification website wrote about Louis Rove as the man who introduced him to piercing. The pictures below are Louis Rove's solid gold frenum ladders. Apparently, Rove was a frequent model for piercing magazines, too. And Yard Dog is also the proud owner of Louis Rove's solid gold cock ring! Sounds like a silent auction item for a Democratic fundraiser! Check source one and source two from Huffington Post, plus this story from KCBS in San Francisco. Okay, this explains alot. "Many people on the extremist side of the right wing -- Phyllis Schlafly and her gay son, (State Sen.) Pete Knight and his gay son, Alan (Keyes) and his gay daughter -- this seems to be a pattern in extremist politics where you have people bashing the rights of gay people, and yet in their own families, we're there," said Thom Lynch, executive director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center in San Francisco. The above quote from Thom Lynch came before the Ted Haggard story, and we're still waiting for revelations outing Republican Committee Chair Ken Melman, but let's add them to that list, too. And I must have been living under a rock to miss this blind item about Clive Davis: "What well-known music mogul (in his 70s) is secretly gay??? The record label honcho, who got into a big fight with one of his idolized starlets this year, has been married and has like four kids….plus a boyfriend on the side. This comes from an impeccable source very close to him." Only a gay man would stick with Whitney Houston through all her shenanigans... And the "idolized starlet" was Kelly Clarkson. And isn't it interesting that even though you can't libel a dead (gay) man, Merv Griffin's company is trying to squash stories about him being gay. Reuters pulled an editorial that shamed the billionaire media mogul for not coming out. And isn't it even more interesting that Merv's protege Ryan Seacrest is suddenly getting all sorts of very high profile jobs just after the old man kicks? Seacrest - OUT! UPDATE AUGUST 21, 2007 Click here to hear an audio interview with Jim Ward, founder of The Gauntlet piercing salon who was a close friend of Louis Rove. The interview is not only a tell-all about the elder rove, but a very interesting bit of history about the fetish and piercing community. Ward is emphatic that "Louie" was a very sweet man who never had a bad thing to say about anyone, a complete contrast from his evil offspring, Karl Rove. Spend a few minutes to listen.
