Nick Jonas "I've Got A Firm Ass"
 |
| Woof! Boy Nick Jonas |
When being grilled about his fetishes on Watch What Happens Live Andy Cohen asked Nick Jonas "Have you ever been into or would you be into getting spanked"
To which Jonas replied: "Yeah, absolutely, I've got a firm ass." Woof! Come to Daddy...Boy, grrrrrrrrrr...!
Thus in the spirit of the comment I have posted images that objectify Boy Nick (my pet name for him. Hey, we all have our fantasies) above.
I must say I am liking Boy Nick unfiltered a lot, hot to look at and naughty, what more could anyone want in their boy's?
How about another dirty little bit of info? Yes, please! How's this for hot? Boy Nick admitted getting an NARB on the red carpet, to Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show. What's that you say? What's an NARB? It stands for "Non-Apparent Reason Boner" He got it at the Young Hollywood Awards while experiencing the after affects of a marijuana lollipop from the night before.
"Look all men get an NARB from time to time" Boy Nick explained. Why "yes" they do Boy, yes they do.

Finding Dory: I Want Your Same Sex?
 |
| Dory, Ellen, Dory, Ellen Finding Dory |
There is a scene in the trailer which depicts two women caring over a baby in a stroller. Hmmmmmm...while no speculation has been addressed directly here is what Dory aka Ellen Degeneres has to say about it:
"I personally think it's a great thing, I think everything that we see in the media, whether it's television or film or anything you see—should represent everything that's happening in the world. I think everybody that is in the world should be seen and represented."
Ellen did have one issue with the potential same sex couple in Finding Dory.
"One woman has a very bad short haircut, which I find very offensive" Ha! At least it isn't a damned mullet!
Find out the full scoop when Finding Dory hits theaters this Friday June 17th.
We are the world, and so is Ellen at:

Suck Adele's Dick!
 |
| You Talkin' About Me?! Adele |
Recently producer Tony Visconti remarked about our lady Adele:
"You turn the radio on and it's fluff, you are listening to 90 percent computerized voices. We know Adele has a great voice but it's even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated. We don't know."
Ummmmmm...dude, you are 72 and have been producing how many years and you can't tell her voice is 100% real?! Note to self, if I ever work on something involving music, don't hire Tony Visconti to produce.
Adele responded with a rebel yell:
"Some d--khead...tried to say that my voice wasn't me on record," she told the crowd. "Dude, suck my d--k."
There you have it. Happy Monday!

Celebrate Gay Pride!
 |
| Michael Shinafelt Prop 8 Overturned! Photo: Bob Drapeau |
There are a lot of people that feel it has lost it's meaning. I am not one of them. No matter how "commercial" or "mainstream" it becomes it is always a special celebration. Imagine being a young boy in a small town and never feeling like you fit in. "Yes" I am talking about myself. Only to grow older, more worldly and to find individuals like yourself, who made you feel accepted and loved.
I will always attend the Gay Pride Parade for me it gives me a sense of community & friendship. It reminds me of my struggles and how I overcame them and that I am not the only one. Mostly it is a chance to be free and enjoy my hard earned identity as a Gay Male who deserves to be happy, healthy and content with who he is.
Above is a photo taken of me celebrating the overturning of Prop 8 - the anti gay marriage law in the state of CA. When it happened I dashed immediately to the rally in West Hollywood, CA for the historic moment on June 26, 2013.
Today I will be attending the parade in Los Angeles, with my many friends and acquaintances I have made through the years I have lived here to celebrate...Happy Pride all. Have a Super Sunday!

Colton Ford, This Time It's Personal
Once upon a time in Southern California there was a boy name Glenn Soukesian. That boy grew up loving theater and most of all, music.
After a few deals with major labels that did not quite materialize what he had hoped for, He decided to try a different approach to springboard his singing career. Glenn went into porn under the name of Colton Ford.
Well it worked. After many hit singles and albums, Colton has hit his fans with his most personal CD to date, titled, what else? Glenn Soukesian. We met at Desano Bakery in Silverlake CA, to catch up and talk shop. Take note world at large and listen closely....
MS: You recently got back from Pride in Spain.
CF: Yes, it was really a good time, where everybody gay and straight were there to enjoy themselves and celebrate.It was a free spirited, accepting non-judgemental party with great energy, and everyone was carrying their alcohol and mixers in a bag and making their drinks on the sidewalk. A PARTY!! I performed three songs off of the new record for the first time which was awesome! People were there from allover Europe, it's really a great mix of people.
MS: I listened to your new music just before I got here.
CF: Right before you come and do your thing. (laughs)
MS: Yeah that way it's fresh in my mind. I love your current single "Free Yourself," it's pretty bluesy.
CF: Well I'm going back to my R&B/Soul roots. My roots have always been in R&B/soul, something that's been present in all of my dance releases. But now, at fifty-three, I wanna do what I wanna do. I'm more of a bluesy crooner, ballad singer anyway. I took the opportunity to do what I felt. I worked with some amazing producers who get me. This is the first record where I didn't have to consider anyone or anything else.
MS: Did you self produce your current album?
CF: Yeah, the five people that I worked with, they wrote the tracks, I get the track and I write the melody and the lyrics. They produce the track and and I arrange and produce the vocals. Larry Peace did five of the tracks on the record, and he co-executive produced it with me. He was the DJ for Prince.
MS: Funny you should say that when I saw your song "R U Gonna" I thought of Prince because of the spelling.
CF: Yeah, yeah. (laughs) Now that guy is Eddie J Free who is another mixer/producer I did that and "True Love" with.
MS: I still can't believe Prince is gone. Fifty-eight is not old, especially since I'm fifty and your fifty-three, it really caught me off guard.
CF: What a trip. It was so sudden.
MS: Honestly I like this CD best out of everything you've done. I can hear how much more you are connected to the songs on this.
CF: Well Thank You. My EP "Next Chapter" was a nice segue into "Glenn Soukesian." This is more about the songs and the vocals and less about production. "The Way I Am" was a great dance album, but it was high in production. In terms of this album when you compare it to that one, it's much more personal.
MS: It feels that way.
CF: Totally more personal. It was a very liberating project.
MS: Something about it pops more to me.
CF: Cool, I love it! That is also the feedback I have been getting from people. Before I did the record I would see people posting: "We love your stuff, but we feel there's something else, and we look forward to what that is" and here it is. (laughs)
MS: And that's why the CD is named after you.
CF: Yes, my actual name. (both laugh) I really thought this through, a lot of people use my real name anyway because of the documentary about me "Naked Fame." It's about continuing that connection between Colton Ford and Glenn Soukesian. I'm in a place right now where I want to be as organic and true to myself as I can.
MS: The connection between music and sexuality is a strong one...sometimes people forget you have a great voice to go along with it. Miley Cyrus for example.
CF: She's amazing! She's got an amazing fucking voice! No Joke! If she wants to swing around naked on a wrecking ball, go for it!
MS: You lose sight of how good an artist is sometimes when that is the way they choose to express themselves.
CF: Well, I know I've experienced it, they judge you as if your doing that because your music is not strong enough. That's a bunch of bullshit. Some people actually do, but you can tell based upon the music who's doing it and who's not. Put the visuals aside and listen to the music and respond accordingly.
MS: One last personal thing, Glenn Soukesian. What is your favorite track off of your current CD?
CF: Well that's a hard one. Each song has a special meaning to me for a variety of reasons, both personally and artistically. I really love "Love's Around." Love the track, love the spirit of the song, the "you're not alone" message. And it's a universal love song. Could be to a friend, family member or a lover. It represents the personal relationships that I have. Loving, kind and supportive.
