Photo: Men's Health via OhLaLa MagFitness model-slash-actor Sean Faris finally took his shirt off like all the other actors on Vampire Diaries, which like most vampire stories is just some cleverly disguised shower nozzle masturbation material wrapped up in the guise of a hip and edgy story about bloodsucking beauties. Sean is a fine piece, and he also happens to be the Jan/Feb cover model for Men's Health. Here are some pics.
Also, you may remember Sean in a 2008 Fight Club-esque flick called Get Some with Twilight villain Cam Gidandet (who then was only known for being on The O.C.). [Thx, OhLaLa]

This weekend, Dear John ousted Avatar from its top box office spot, making a cool $32 million and making its young stars into big, bonafied Hollywood stars. Because the recently penis-scalded Channing Tatum (how is that healing, btw?) is more there as eye candy and to make the ladies moist, we'd say this movie is more going to make doe-eyed Amanda Seyfried's career, proving that she can carry a box office hit without Meryl Streep.
But of course, Channing is no stranger to the gay blogosphere, considering his hot ass (and abs) have been celebrated widely since the moment he appeared in front of a camera. We're glad for this boost in his career, because it means we'll be seeing more of him and his abs. Anyway, after the jump, watch the luscious Channing chat with Regis and Kelly.

via Twitpic via OhLaLaIt's time for the obligatory Sunday SNL post, but this one isn't just about a new case of gay minstrelsy! No, this weekend's host was one of our great all-time loves, Ashton Kutcher, with whom we recently fell in love all over again after watching that shitty Vegas movie he made with Cameron Diaz in which he is nevertheless adorable and takes most of his clothes off. And he took his clothes off again on SNL, his pants at least, and we thank him for it. Incidentally, he appears pretty blessed down there in his leopard-print trunks, but we digress.
After the jump, see his monologue, and the obligatory minstrelsy sketch where he plays a horse-hung sex slave to a Roman emporer.

TV The Divine Miss M called it quits on her Vegas show, "The Showgirl Must Go On," at Caesar's Palace last week after a two-year run, and gays throughout the greater Las Vegas area shed more than a few tears over the loss. Celebrity guests at the closing show included Vegas mainstays Marie Osmond, Gladys Knight, and Celine Dion, the latter of whom appearing via video feed because she's currently holed up in Canada tending her father husband and child. After the jump, hear a bootleg audio recording made by a fan and uploaded to YouTube of Bette singing 'The Rose' during her final show -- and in the middle of the song it sounds like half the elderly people in the room rudely start talking to each other.

Usually we hate Flash-based websites, but this new campaign by Wrangler kind of turns us on. It features model and porn star Tony Ward, who once dated Madonna for a hot minute twenty years ago, and you get to push him around on the screen, and strip a few shirts off him. Also, we should note that Tony still looks damn hot. Look for him also in the upcoming porn-cum-art-horror-flick L.A. Zombie from Bruce LaBruce.

Abercrombie & Fitch, Ginza. Source: Fashionsnap.comTokyo got its first Abercombie & Fitch store in December, and The Business of Fashion reports that the company completely fucked up and doesn't get the Japanese consumer at all. One of the biggest problems, besides the garish A&F's that scream from every t-shirt and pullover, Japanese people aren't that into adolescent, muscley Bruce Weber models.
[M]any of the male staff members have their chests exposed. Sex appeal may be a big part of the brand’s charm in the United States, but this particular masculine ideal of a “ripped chest” is completely out of sync with current Japanese fashion culture and the constant presence of half-naked men is off-putting to the Japanese customer — especially when crammed into tight spaces like elevators.
Also, the staff has been singing and dancing a lot through the store, and whatever that crazy scent-blaster machine they have in those stores must be set on high because customers complain of smelling like cologne for days after visiting the store.

Josh Buscher, currently in West Side Story.Broadway Bares, the annual fundraiser in which Broadway chorines (that's our word for chorus boys and girls) get naked in the name of charity, has always been a great idea. Not only do all gay men and not a few women want to see all those hot Broadway dancers take their clothes off, but the dancers themselves could always use a little practice returning to the job many of them likely had before landing their Broadway gigs.
Now, to further the fundraising efforts for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, these exhibitionist chorines are doing solo strip shows called Broadway Bares: Solo Strips at Splash in NYC, and the first one was on Sunday. So basically, they're strippers who happen to be on Broadway. But anyway, we won't object.
A couple more photos after the jump.

Shirtless Guys We have award show fatigue. It's all a big clusterfuck of stylists, celebretards, and the Hollywood hangers-on who believe so hard in the whole institution of celebrity and award shows that they piss their pants every time one of these things happens. Anyway, Lady Gaga and Elton opened the show last night with some backup dancers and side-by-side pianos. And anyway, we can't pretend to be super excited. But hey, if you are, that's great! You are more joyful, less jaded human beings than us.

Music Tonight, Rupaul's Drag Race's sophomore season premieres on Logo. Despite being a little disappointed that all the drag-testants are of of a similar cheesy, polished, vein of the sort that you see in Atlanta, or Vegas, or Riverside, CA, we still support the concept that drag queens make good television no matter who they are. We'd love it if more fun and witty drag queens were involved, but for now we'll still remain loyal viewers, perhaps even of the post-show that they're premiering as well, which is a behind-the-scenes companion show called Rupaul's Drag Race: Untucked! It will probably be as shitty as all these attempts to expand franchises using otherwise throwaway footage (Big Brother: After Dark anyone?), but we're willing to give it a chance because, as we said, drag queens make good TV.

That's boyfriend David Burtka kissing Neil. *sigh*At the risk of becoming the Taylor, James, and Neil Show over here at Dorothy Is Dead, we bring you news just out today that our beloved Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting a game show (!) on CBS called The Cube -- at least he'll be hosting the pilot anyway, for testing purposes. CBS is nibbling at this idea, which Fox also considered last season. It's a British import, and we for one hope it gets picked up because we have endless faith in Neil's hosting abilities, and we want him to be richer by the time he marries us. [The Wrap]

Shirtless Guys So, this gay dating site called ManCrunch is either considering buying 30 seconds worth of air time during the Super Bowl, or they've just successfully put that rumor out there in order to get attention for this ad on YouTube. In any event, the Super Bowl audience is no stranger to men kissing in ads (remember those Snicker's ads?) and we're not sure how much of the target audience you're really going to reach, unless this marketing push is followed up with an Oscar ad buy as well. Also, who thought ManCrunch was a good name? There are enough fucking dating sites. Give your money to Haiti for fuck's sake.
UPDATE: They actually submitted the ad to CBS, and CBS has rejected it. Still, they got a shit ton of press out of this.
