Laura Prepon says Scientology isn’t anti-gay, don’t watch HBO with your parents, Madonna finds Crocs “effective”
In a new interview, Matt Bomer reveals he’s been a married man since 2011. Does that mean we have to go back and amend all those stories where we talked about his “partner” Simon Halls?
Judge Michael McShane has denied Nom’s request to delay the marriage equality trial in Oregon so they can intervene. But he did schedule a hearing on standing for May 1, making it unlikely that activists will get a ruling before the May 23 deadline to turn in signatures for a ballot initiative.
By now you’ve seen the incredible portrait of Tom Daley created out of the homophobic tweets directed at the diver since he came out. Created by Conner Collins, he spoke to Buzzfeed about the inspiration. “All I wanted to show was that there is a person involved.

“Sometimes you have a good dick day, and sometimes you have a bad dick day,” says the screenwriter Jeff Tetreault, his full lips curled up in a knowing smirk. “It’s like a good hair day and a bad hair day: Sometimes the blood just settles down there and it’s sweet — it’s an awesome dick day. And sometimes, I’m like, ‘What the hell?’”On the night that I meet Tetreault — whose first produced movie, Bad Johnson, will be released May 2 — at the West Hollywood gay bar Fubar, he is most definitely having a good dick day. This isn’t the place where you might expect to find a strapping straight guy like Tetreault, but tonight, he’s hard to miss: Standing on a black box in the front of the bar, clad in tight white briefs and a cropped football jersey, Tetreault sways with his arms in...

“I wish my d*ck would just leave me alone.” No, really, that’s the first key line of dialogue in Cam Gigandet’s “Bad Johnson.” Purporting to be a comedy (!?), the movie is about a charismatic womanizer who receives his comeuppance after his penis mysteriously leaves his body and takes human form. No, really. And then his penis, well, turns into a total dick. "It's me your penis," Gigandet’s penis (played by a bearded Nick Thune) says at one point greeting him in his car. The rest of the trailer is… special. Very, very special. Directed by Huck Botko (“Mail Order Wife”), written by Jeff Tetreault and co-starring Jamie Chung and Kevin Miller, you have to see this trailer to believe it. This just looks spectacularly… wrong is perhaps the PC way to put it. Early contender for Razzie of the year? Indie distribs Gravitas Ventures is actually...

Between the screenwriting announcement for the 50 Shades Of Grey film and now this, you might suspect movieland had sex on the brain today. But then it is movieland, so that pretty much means a day that ends in a “Y”. Still, this project is something a little crazier, as Cam Gigandet and Nick Thune have signed on to star in Johnson.How crazy? Try the fact that it’s the story of lothario Rich Johnson (Gigandet) whose penis gets so sick and tired of being overworked that it abandons his body and takes on human form (Thune).So then Johnson has to find some way to win back his favourite appendage while – of course! – becoming a better man in the process.Writer Jeff Tetreault owns the twisted noggin that burped this one into life, with The Virginity Hit’s Huck Botko set to continues his sex-themed directing career. “It’s semi-autobiographical,...

Wondering how exactly one depicts a wang taking human form on film? You’re in luck, Tetreault has another dick joke to tell as a non-answer to this question. He...

The Twilight actor Cam Gigandet has landed a new and unusual movie, Johnson and he’ll co-star with comedian Nick Thune.The duo will share the titular role in different senses.
Penned by Jeff Tetreault and directed by Huck Botko (2010 R-rated comedy The Virginity Hit), the story follows Rich Johnson (Gigandet), a rich, young womanizer whose penis splits from his body and takes human form (Thune).
In other words, Gigandet will play Johnson, and Thune will play Johnson’s ‘johnson’, which is no doubt a concept rich for comedy.
Johnson will start erecting, uh-huh, I mean go into production October 10th in Chicago.
Gigandet recently wrapped erotic thriller Plush and will soon be seen in John Stockwell’s Seal Team Six.
Thune, who has appeared numerous times on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,’ (and on each occasion, he won) has had minor roles in Judd Apatow’s 2007 comedy Knocked Up,...

Because of the massive successes of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, The Hangover, and Bridesmaids, there's been no shortage of crude comedies trying to outdo each other with gross-out gags, strange sex antics, and wild one-liners. But Huck Botko, co-writer and co-director of the 2010 R-rated comedy The Virginity Hit, is taking raunchiness to a whole new level with his upcoming indie feature Johnson. Variety reports Cam Gigandet (Twilight) and Nick Thune (Not That Funny) will co-star, sharing the titular role in different respects. See, this comedy, penned by Jeff Tetreault, centers on one Rich Johnson, a wealthy and handsome young man who is a merciless and self-centered womanizer. But Rich is forced to re-evaluate his life and become a better person after his actions cause him to lose his manhood. And by that I mean his penis mystically takes human form and runs away. So, Gigandet will play Rich Johnson,...
