US “golden boy” Ryan Lochte talks about his 2012 Olympic Games success (5 Olympic medals), the much ballyhooed ‘duel in the pool’ with Michael Phelps, his unorthodox training methods and how he gives back to local charities.

Ben Cohen on the cover of Gay Times Magazine

Rugby star and LGBT hero Ben Cohen appears on the cover of the recent issue of Gay Times, talking gay stereotypes, how to fight bullies, and his new underwear line which raises money for his StandUp Foundation.

In the interview, Cohen says that the StandUp Foudation has had a “hell of an impact” in the last year, in the U.S. and the U.K. in part because it was the first foundation of it’s kind.

“We’re on a very simple mission — to create awareness and support organizations and to affect and educate that next generation,” he told Gay Times. “We need to teach people to understand that homophobic and racial slurs and bullying is not right. And to be part of the impact is fantastic.”

He thinks, too, that being straight has helped people listen to his message: “I think that the most important thing about it is that I’m straight and promoting a foundation that’s anti-homophobia. I’m bridging the gap between gay and straight. And I think straight people are more likely to listen when they see me breaking down stereotypes.”

Kellan Lutz to star in film where homosexuality is the norm

Shirtless Kellan Lutz

From The Advocate: Kellan Lutz and Camilla Belle will costar in a film as secret lovers in a world in which homosexuality is considered the norm, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the role-reversal drama Love is All You Need, Belle will play a star quarterback (yes – she’s the quarterback) who is adored by a large fan base while Lutz, portrays an aspiring journalist. “The two fall in love, with their relationship growing in secret, but when the romance becomes public, the two find themselves being bullied,” according to THR.

Lutz, who is straight but viewed as one of the most LGBT-friendly actors in Hollywood, discussed his gay fans in a 2011 interview with The Advocate.

“I love them,” he said.” When I meet gay fans out and about, they’re so great to talk to — and I’m big on hugging, because I’m from the Midwest. They’re just so energetic and loving. I’m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don’t want just girls coming to my movies; I want guys to come too.”

Abercrombie Fitch models lip-dub “Call Me Maybe”

In October of 2011, Abercrombie & Fitch discovered Carly Rae’s ‘Call Me Maybe’ and launched the song on its official soundtrack.

To celebrate the song’s Summer popularity, A&F asked its hottest guys from its Flagship stores all around the world to have fun with the song—film it on their phones and to do whatever came naturally…

I can imagine some folks may be tired of the song by now, but I actually still like it. Probably because I never listen to the radio 🙂

Joey Lawrence – Shirtless and sexy opening night at Chippendales

I was at the Chippendales Theater tonight in Las Vegas at the Rio Hotel and Casino where Joey Lawrence has his red carpet and opening night as the new Celebrity Guest Host/MC at Chippendales.

Romantic italian commercial for John Saint-Denis candles

This is how to sell candles.

And how about the sexy leading man of the video, Peter Calandra?

From the YouTube page: After a difficult day, Paolo rushed from the American offices in Torino, climbing up the hills to Montgenevre just over the French border. Phone dead, car stopping and starting, navigating road construction, he was going to be late for their anniversary dinner at their Palazzo.
