Joe Manganiello wants Matt Bomer on “True Blood”

Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello

Most people know that Joe Manganiello and Matt Bomer are two of TV’s sexiest men. But few are aware that they were college roommates.

The two men became buddies while rooming together at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (Class of 2000).

They’ve remained close friends, and worked together on the highly anticipated male (Chippendales inspired?) film, Magic Mike.

Manganiello also appeared last month on Bomer’s hit series White Collar. Now the world’s sexiest werewolf wants to see his buddy suck some neck on True Blood.

“I think Matt would make a great vampire,” Manganiello told E! Online. “He’s got the suit thing going on. He’s got that sophisticated elegant thing going on.”

Bomer says he’s totally up for some fang banging.

“I’m Team Alcide all the way, “ he said, referring to Manganiello’s character. “But if I’m going to do a guest spot on True Blood, I wanna play a vampire.”

I would love to see Bomer appear on True Blood. BUT until then, look for his duet with Darren Criss on Glee, playing Blaine’s older brother.

Gareth Thomas tweets pic of him in his underwear

Gareth Thomas shared a revealing photo with his Facebook fans over the weekend, along with this message…

Appropriate underwear for today. So just be warned people I’m armed if you come near! Looking forward to another rugby filled weekend. I predict wins for Wales, England, France.

Wales and England did in fact win; The French match against Ireland was postponed. Not that you were actually looking at his rugby predictions.

Maryland Delegate Sam Arora ducks voting on marriage equality

Via Americablog Gay: The marriage equality bill in Maryland took a big step last night by passing in the House Judiciary Committee.

However, Delegate Sam Arora, who ran as a pro-equality candidate and purports to be a progressive, is acknowledging his conversion to homophobia. Sam Arora did not vote last night on the bill.

Two years ago, when Sam Arora was a candidate for delegate in Maryland, he wanted the endorsement of Equality Maryland. He filled out the questionnaire, which we’ve posted below.  Arora even added an impassioned addendum. He also did an in-person interview with Equality Maryland. From every indication, he was a strong supporter of LGBT equality, including marriage. In the general election, Arora got the endorsement of Equality Maryland.

I would encourage members of the Maryland LGBT community to ask why he has disappeared on issues important to the community when he vigorously courted our support. Contact info is below.

Santorum leads Romney in Michigan

Rick Santorum is now leading Mitt Romney in Romney’s home state of Michigan.

The Public Policy Polling survey found Santorum leading Romney, 39 to 24 percent, among likely GOP voters in Michigan — the state where Romney was born and where his father served as governor.

Santorum, hot off three primary and caucus wins last week, also rocketed to the front in national polls.

A Gallup poll released yesterday showed Rick Santorum with 30 percent support nationally, in a statistical tie with Romney, who had 32 percent.

Apple’s stock hits $500 a share

Apple’s stock topped $500 for the first time on Wall Street even as a probe started looking into work conditions at a Chinese factory that cranks out the California company’s coveted gadgets.

Apple shares gained 1.86 percent during the day, powered by reports a new iPad may be unveiled next month, to close at $502.60 and then inched up more in after-hours trading.

Despite the investigation into labor practices, Apple also continued to show its strength with consumers, dethroning Google in the annual Harris Poll RQ study as the company with the most respected image in the eyes of consumers.

The maker of iPhones, iPads, iPods and Macintosh computers got the highest score ever seen in the survey, which asks people to rate the reputations of 60 of the most well-known US companies.
