George Michael

London, March 17 (ANI): George Michael is using technology to find hot guys – the singer has downloaded an iPhone application that helps him find blokes nearby, it has emerged.

According to Michael’s pals, the 46-year-old hitmaker is cleverly using Grindr app to locate partners and meet them as he vacations Down Under.

‘George has been using the application loads since he has been in Oz as he doesn’t know the local spots,’ the Daily Star quoted an insider, as saying.

The source added: ‘It’s great for him as he can find out exactly where the nearest people are discreetly without having to ask around in bars where he would be recognised.’

Melbourne blogger Richard Taylor said: ‘Apparently George Michael was on Grindr during the break at his show last night.’

The news comes just days after Michael was snapped having fun with men on his yacht off Sydney Harbour.

David Beckham after his injury during AC Milan-Chievo

TURKU, Finland — David Beckham has arrived in Finland for surgery on his torn left Achilles’ tendon, an injury that will keep him from the World Cup.

Beckham left a private jet on crutches at Turku on Monday afternoon and was whisked away in an SUV. Surgery is set for Monday or Tuesday.

The 34-year-old former England captain was injured in the closing minutes of AC Milan’s 1-0 win Sunday. He said on his Web site he hopes for a “swift and full recovery.”

A person familiar with the injury has told The Associated Press he will miss the World Cup “for sure.” A Finnish doctor set to operate on Beckham said there’s a “glimmer of hope” the midfielder will recover in time for the World Cup, which begins in June.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

MILAN (AP) — David Beckham says he hopes to make a “swift and full recovery” from his torn left Achilles’ tendon after leaving Monday for surgery which will keep him out of the World Cup.

“I am on my way to Finland to see a specialist and have a scan on the injury,” Beckham said in a statement posted on his Web site. “I am upset but (want) to thank everyone for their messages of support. I hope to make a swift and full recovery.”

The 34-year-old former England captain was injured in the closing minutes of AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Chievo Verona on Sunday.

Later Sunday, a person familiar with the injury told The Associated Press that “he will miss the World Cup for sure.”

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made. The person said it was likely Beckham will play again.

With his hopes of becoming the first English player to appear in four World Cups shattered and his future in international soccer in doubt, Beckham was scheduled to be operated on either later Monday or Tuesday morning by specialist surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava.

Shirtless David Henrie and Gorgeous Gregg Sulkin show us how it’s done.

18 year old British teen actor Gregg Sulkin is set to make it big in the US, starring as Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Mason in up-coming episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place on the US Disney Channel.

Gregg’s debut performance was as 12 year old fretful, geeky, bespectacled kid Bernie in feature film “Sixty-Six” starring alongside Helena Bonham Carter.

He then went on to appear as JJ in Disney UK’s As the Bell Rings and last summer was rumoured to be dating Miley Cyrus, who’d he kept in touch with after a chance meeting at a Disney party held at Camden’s Koko club in 2007.

18 year old Gregg (who started his acting career with Allsorts Drama Agency)  is originally from Swiss Cottage, London and attended Highgate School but now regularly flies to L.A.

Henrie was born in Mission Viejo, California to Linda and Jim Henrie, and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona.^[2] He is the brother of actor Lorenzo Henrie. He went to school at Cheyenne Traditional School and was raised as a Roman Catholic.^[5] According to his website, he comes from a “large, loud, Italian family”

At age 6, Henrie signed with a SAG agency in Phoenix and began going out on auditions. At age 9, during a regional commercial shoot in Scottsdale, a director recommended that Henrie move to LA. That summer, at the age of 10, he and his family relocated to Hollywood. Henrie booked his first two national commercial auditions, playing principal roles in spots for Burger King and Quaker Oats. Henrie booked his first co-starring role on the TV show Providence, and went on to land a guest star role on the premiere episode of Without a Trace.

By age 13, Henrie got his first big break, landing a regular role as Petey Pitt on the Fox sitcom The Pitts. Henrie next landed a leading role in the Hallmark movie, Monster Maker, with Linda Blair and George Kennedy, and was asked to come back for another Hallmark movie, to play a role in Dead Hollywood Mom’s Society.

At the age of 18, Henrie got the role of Justin Russo in the Disney Channel Original Series, Wizards of Waverly Place. The show premiered on October 12, 2007. Due to his involvement with Disney Channel, Henrie competed in the 2008 Disney Channel Games. He was team captain of the Green Team, also known as the Cyclones. He has a role in the Disney Channel Original Movie Dadnapped. Before his present role on Wizards of Waverly Place, he had a recurring role on That’s So Raven as Cory’s friend Larry. Henrie also has a recurring role on How I Met Your Mother, where he plays the lead character’s future son. According to Reuters, Henrie was officially named the Grand Marshal for the 2009 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race.

What is it with celebrity interviews lately? Must everyone take things out of context?

… the singer is responding to a fact-based mention that Boyle’s first album debuted higher than Lambert’s? Did the reporter note that Adam laughed at that moment perhaps to make it clear that the glittery one wasn’t cursing his non-competition?

You decide.

(Of course, objectively, “I’m happy for her success” is about as horrific as an attack on another human can get. We realize that brutality might sway your interpretation.)

Now let’s take a trip into the irony department, with a bit pulled from higher up in the interview, before the alleged Boyle-clubbing section. (Shock! His album comments aren’t actually the lead of the story! Which you’d never know if you did a Google news search of the two names right now!)

These are the words of Gay Times writer Jamie Taberrer; the bold emphasis is mine:

From his forgivable penchant for guyliner (don’t pretend you haven’t been there), to his opinion-polarising album cover, to his controversial performance at last year’s American Music Awards (in which he kissed and groped a male member of his band, inducing thousands of complaints to TV network ABC) it seems Adam can’t bat a mascara-clad eyelash without offending somebody. The irony being, of course, that Adam’s really not shocking underneath it all. In fact, he’s a just a normal guy who – shock, horror! – is actually WILLING to talk about his sexuality.

Boyle and Lambert were both pop-culture sensations on their respective continents and beyond, and were both runners-up in high-profile singing competitions — so bringing up the comparison isn’t shocking. And even if, like me, you have no problem with SuBo, giggling at her take on the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses” is hardly out-of-the-box thinking.

Today’s flurry sounds suspiciously like widely repeated reports of Adam putting “one of his own fans on blast” for talking on a cellphone during his performance (If what Adam actually said was an attack, a lot of what’s on the Ministry probably violates Geneva Conventions). Despite the American Music Awards uproar, Lambert has a track record of good manners and general decency toward others. So of course the search is on for the story or headline that “reveals” some heretofore unseen mean and nasty “real Adam” lurking under the surface.

“Adam’s not really shocking at all” doesn’t drive Internet traffic like “Adam’s picking on poor sweet Susan Boyle” does.

Context, people. It’s all about the context. Call me when there’s video of Adam clubbing a baby seal, and then maybe I’ll believe he’s a jerk.

Maybe.

Ewan McGregor shot down some casual homophobia from George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America yesterday in a discussion about a photo of McGregor and Jim Carrey kissing.

Asked Stephanopoulos as producers giggled (and one mumbled what sounds like “oh God”) in the background: “What is that about?”

Replied McGregor: “Well that’s just two men kissing, and it’s, uh, in this age, in 2010 it’s extraordinary that it’s still an object of humor.”

Stephanopoulos: “Well you aren’t just kissing, you’re kind of making out there.”

McGregor: “That’s a kiss. That’s just a kiss.”

Colin Firth won ‘Best Actor’ at last night’s Bafta’s for his performance in Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’. Firth plays George, a gay college professor breaking down after his partner dies in a car accident. Firth said of working with the director/fashion designer:

“An encounter with Tom Ford is come away feeling resuscitated a little more worldy, better informed, better groomed, more fragranced and more nominated than one has ever been before.

“What Tom Ford doesn’t know is I have the email in my outbox telling him I could not possibly do this,” Firth said. “I was about to send it when a man came to repair my fridge … so I would like to thank the fridge guy.”
Sounds like the beginning of a porno doesn’t it? Albeit an intellectual one where they converse about Isherwood.

Just a few months ago, in October of 2009, Perez was in New York City hosting an event. John Mayer obviously was aware of this, as he’s repeatedly admitted in the past that he regularly reads our website, and he started blowing up our cell phone with texts.

The douchebag singer and Perez have had a secret (until now) text and email relationship (nothing sexual) for quite some time now.

Mayer invited us over to his NYC apartment – at 2 AM! – to “listen” to some tracks off his new album. We went – and arrived at 3 AM with three friends, who can verify that this indeed happened.

Over the course of the next five hours, Mayer and Perez pretty much ignored everyone else in the room and engaged in a heated non-stop conversation, the highlight of which was John confronting Perez about whether or not we really think he’s gay.

It went like this:

John: “You think I’m gay don’t you?”

Perez: “Yes.”

John: “I’m not.”

Perez: “Have you ever had a penis in your mouth?”

John: “Yes.”

Perez: “Your’e gay!”

Mayer has already admitted to making out with Perez. Hopefully one day soon he will admit he’s had a penis in his mouth too!

1960’s singer Connie Francis recently discovered that she likes gay porn stars – and gay porn stars like her, too!

At a recent Ft. Lauderdale celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of her film Where The Boys Are, Francis was escorted by four burly beefcakes as part of her promotional apperance. The Connie Francis Great American Beach Party was full of a different sort of “family” having a different sort of “fun,” though –  Francis’s hairdresser recognized and outed the four escorts as major gay porn stars, including crazy-faced Falcon alum Matthew Rush (pictured at right with Francis).
