Updated: It's funny that earlier today I paralleled ABC with CBS, because CBS's The Early Show has just picked up Adam Lambert for a performance on Wednesday morning. Guess the eye network wants the square image it earned after Janet traingled.

If Adam Lambert is the new Janet Jackson after the American Music Awards performance, then ABC is the new CBS. Glambert was scheduled to perform on the network's Good Morning America, but we guess ABC didn't like all the making out and simulated fellatio as much as we did because the show has canceled his appearance! (Nor did 1,500 others, who called the network to complain about the cute kiss.)

The press release from GMA says:

“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, ...

The Academy Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (ya know, the people who are in charge of the Oscars) had $450,000 to dish out to 24 film festivals around the country. And one of our very own got in on the honor.

The Academy awarded a $30,000 grant to Outfest: The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. The grant will be used to reach new audiences, specifically youth 18-25, and audiences who have little exposure to LGBT images.

“To be recognized by the Academy Foundation for inclusion in such a distinguished and prestigious grant program is not only an honor, but a testament to the filmmakers who will benefit from these resources,” says Outfest Executive Director Kirsten Schaffer. “It is very exciting...

The hottest (and perhaps only) reason to watch the new school 90210 is Trevor Donovan, who reminds a few of us Instinct boys why we love living in So-Cal: surfers. Trevor doesn't like to wears shirts, which is a coincidence, because when we too don't like it when he wears shirts!

Yum!

If yesterday's birthday girl (happy birthday again, RuPaul!) knows anything about the gay community, she knows that we like sexy teases that take it slow. Utilizing this philosophy, the fabulous cast of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 is being revealed...slowly.

The show doesn't return to Logo until February 2010, but powers that be are releasing images of the contestants to slowly reveal the cast in what they dub a "Drag Fairy Tale."

Here is our first look...

My guess is that there is already a clear leader. If you can rock a towel in the way picture #6 can, you're going places.

For more of the cast reveals--which will be released over the next few days--you can follow RuPaul's Drag Race on Facebook and/or Twitter.

If you twisted our arms or pulled our hair (after first buying us a drink, of course), we would admit that our DVRs often fill of reality TV. Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel typically filled most of it, largely in part to season 2's Jonathan Waud, who has exploded onto the male modeling scene in nothing but his underwear. Enjoy.

Before he made us swoon and weak-kneed on Bravo's Workout, Greg knocked the air out of our lungs with a spread in Instinct. Titled "Brief Encounters," a well-deserved focus on Greg's crotch graced the inside pages of our July 2005 issue. Fortunately for us, our encounters with this super stud would be anything but brief in the years to come...

As always, you can see more of Greg by ordering back issues of Instinct (including July 2005) through the "Subscriptions" link at the top of our website.

As I go drown my frustration in a pint of Ben & Jerry's, take a look at what Michael Phelps considers "out of shape"...

Phelps, who finished third at a World Cup meet in Sweeden, told the press there, “I know I’m not in the best shape and I should be in better shape."

While I wouldn’t typically turn down anything found to be “hung” in the bedroom, in the case of A-Rod’s alleged egotistical hanging art, I might have to think twice.

A past fling of the New York Yankee star has come forward and claimed that Rodriguez has portraits of himself realized as a centaur hanging above his bed. Is that what “horse-hung” means? I’ve conducted research in an attempt to gain a grasp of the gay idiom, but have come up short-handed (the puns are endless!).

What is it about Brazilian men that makes them such great underwear models? (Oh, nevermind – we know what it is.)

The latest in a trend that’s hopefully not even close to going out of fashion is Bruno Santos for Guess. Makes me want to initiate a new Olympic sport in time for Rio’s turn at the wheel -- male model underwear-offs. (Photographed by Yu Tsai.)

Matteo Trisolini's "Farmboy" work will be auctioned off at GLAAD's OUTauction on November 15 in Manhattan.

Hmmm. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, you can surely round up a few for this one in our comments section below...
