Check Out The New “Rocky” For Fox Network’s “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”

Staz Nair will be starring as “Rocky” in upcoming Fox TV presentation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

With so much music theater coming from NBC (The Sound of Music Live!, Peter Pan Live!, The Wiz Live!)  Fox Network has decided to push the envelope a bit further with a television redux of the Rocky Horror Picture Show—with none other than Laverne Cox as “Dr. Frank-N-Furter,” the role that helped launch Tim Curry’s career by starring in the original stage production in addition to the movie.

But can we take a look at the new “Rocky?” Staz Nair, former X Factor UK contestant, will be the hottie to wear those famous gold lame booty shorts.

We’ll also be seeing the 6’1′ model-actor, who is of Russian and Indian descent, on the upcoming season of Game of Thrones.

Check out some pics from his soon-to-explode Instagram account.

Just Because: Math Teacher & Model Pietro Baselli

Boy Culture reminds us of model AND math teacher Pietro Baselli, who became an internet sensation last year when his students realized that he was a model after coming across a Facebook post.

After the post went viral, Boselli went on to a shoot for Abercrombie & Fitch and cover spot on UK’s Attitude Magazine.

And speaking of students, excuse me as I retire to “study hall” to focus on this pic just a little more.

Happy Monday!

Steve Grand Serves Up Serious Holiday Romance – “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Okay, so hunky out singer/songwriter Steve Grand understands a little bit what we folk think would be a fun Christmas Eve.

Sixteen thousand views in an hour.

He gets us. He really gets us.

Check this romantical video version of “All I Want For Christmas Is You” – and how about his hunky, beary merry Christmas bf?

The gorgeous guy with the beard/Associate Producer/Creative Assistance: Trevor LaPaglia – Instagram: OhhhTrev

From Steve:

Last Thursday, I decided it was time I do something holiday oriented for you guys. Two days later, this song was recorded and the video was shot, all thanks to the very talented group of people I pulled together (John, Trevor, and song producer Nicholas)

I really owe a special ‘Thank You’ to both John Lavin (director) and Trevor LaPaglia (the ‘boyfriend’) for both going well above and beyond the call of duty. We shot this in a day with almost no planning on a single day’s notice. I didn’t know when I asked him to do it, but Trevor is a talented director himself, so in addition to doing a beautiful job in front of the camera, he was there as an extra eye on the technical and creative end behind the camera. They both deserve way more than I could afford to pay them (understatement of the year), so they are truly stand-up guys for doing this, in addition to being incredibly creative and skilled.

Steve Grand Goes On A Date To The Marines Corp Ball

Back in September, I wrote about handsome, hunky U.S. Marine Tanner White going for the gold and asking out singer/songwriter Steve Grand to this year’s Marine Corps Ball.

There’s a long tradition of servicemen asking their “celebrity dream dates” to the gala events.

Without pause, Grand said “yes,” and Monday night fulfilled his promise to accompany White to the Marine Corps Ball.

Not only is that great, but Grand shared a few pics from the grand evening.

(I know, I know – no one wants to see two handsome hunky guys head out to a big gala event…)

Check it all out below via Grand’s Instagram account.

Spanish Police Officers Marry In Full Dress Uniform To Cheers

One of the first nations to embrace marriage equality back in 2005, Spain continues to do the LGBT community proud.

Madrid Pride is an enormously successful celebration, and the country is very accepting of same-sex marriage.

However, I still get a tingle seeing the wedding of two Catalan police officers, Chema and Jonathan, see such an embrace. And could they be any more handsome?

(Full dress uniform. Swoon….)

Speaking with Spanish radio station Canal Sur, Chema said they have many gay friends on the police force, adding:

“If it helps someone who is being bullied in school for their sexual orientation to see it as something normal, then that’s great.”

“It’s not something that should be hidden just because you belong to a particular institution.”

Congrats to a happy, beautiful couple!

Music: Jeb Havens’ Closet Cover – Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited”

One of my favorite indie artists, out singer/songwriter Jeb Havens, shares the latest in his Closet Covers series.

This time we get “invited” to Havenss take on Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited.”

Havens cites Morissette as a huge influence on his own music, and for good reason. This sits right in the sweet spot of Haven’s musical wheel house. Sincere, complex lyrics and melody in a stripped down setting leaving the emotional life bare for the audience.

I’ve shared other music from Havens here and here and here.

Definitely head over to iTunes to check out more of his music. But first, hit the play button below and enjoy.

Happy Monday!
