THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: The style of Heated Rivalry, deconstructed.
YOUTUBE: Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams once starred in a short film as a guy who engages in dog roleplay, including clambering around on all fours, greedily eating food from the floor and reluctantly getting a bath.
It’s something else! But not as lasciviously framed as one might like. And I would say it’s stolen by the actress who plays Piper:
NEW YORK TIMES: Trump openly regrets not having had voting machines seized after the 2020 election, which does not bode well for the smoothness of the rapidly approaching midterms. Less than 10 months, baby!
NBC WASHINGTON: In Maryland, a woman is accused of assaulting a stranger, allegedly targeting him because he is gay.
MALE MODEL RETRO: One of my fave Facebook groups, Male Model Retro is aptly named.
QUEERTY: I don’t think I’ve been invited to any Queerties, but here is a fond reminiscence — by Queerty! — about some of that annual show’s most memorable red-carpet lewks.
FACEBOOK: Hillary Clinton popped in for the final performance of Messy White Gays! I’m old enough to remember how exciting it was when she became the first First Lady to march in a Pride parade in 2000.
JOE.MY.GOD.: What would any good GOP Senate candidate be without his “harem of twink concubines”? That’s what Preston Parra, a typical MAGA gaypublican who worked for Trump. He interned for Georgia’s Rep. Mike Collins (a Republican, natch), and Collins is now running for Senate, only to find his old intern’s sordid — and, of course, racist — messages blowing up into a scandal.
The kid is pure evil.
OUTtv: “Who douches when there’s a murderer around?” That question sums up the tone for Laid Bare, a very gay mystery series (eight 10-minuteish episodes) from creator Tim O’Leary.
Laid Bare, a sort of Dicks Out, follows a group of slutty gay men who are lured to a remote nude resort to view the contents of a mysterious encrypted video left by its wealthy, recently departed owner. In a Murder by Death twist, it turns out they’re all accused blackmailers, but will each inherit $1M of his estate … which increases by $1M each time any one of them dies.
Present are the rich guy’s at-odds sons (Robert Rice and Ethan Daniel Corbett), a French houseboy (Alex Ringler), an Olympian (Jason Caceres), a feckless socialite (Zack Rocklin-Waltch), a porn star (Jesse Steele) and his teacher hubby (Ephraim López), an OnlyFans content creator (Michael Deni), a male model (Marval Rex) and a publicist (James Hayden Rodriguez).
Ten men, which is why this was originally called Ten Little Faggots, and why I feel justified in offering all my title play.
This winky twink slaughter is a regular Murder on the Whoreient Express. It may not leave you feeling flames … on the side of your face, but you might feel them up your thighs, as most of the men are frequently full-frontal nude. And nobody is relying on prosthetics here, making it hard softcore or soft hardcore.
It’s interesting to watch a mystery that leaves nothing to the imagination — except for the whodunit part.
Laid Bare is on OutTvGo.com, or with Apple+ and an OUTtv add-on.
