Charlie McDonnell is a 19 year English Whovian, Video-Blogger and Musician from Bath, Somerset who is known on YouTube as charlieissocoollike. He plays in a band called Chameleon Circuit that specializes in songs about Doctor Who (they really aren’t bad! – you can listen for yourself on his webpage). Love his Captain Hammer T-Shirt but not the ukulele.
And here’s another vid of Charlie playing with himself but not in THAT way. He puts up videos on YouTube not xTube. He does a great job of combining the audio to duet with himself.
JetSetMen must like doing parody, their next project is called… The Jersey Score, so if you have a thing for muscle meatheads with killer abs, gold chains and a jersey accent, you’re in luck. More on that soon!

We draw closer to the end of the Dark Avengers with every issue. With only two left things are coming to a head. In this teaser we get our first real look at Norman’s secret weapon – at least in glowing-eyed silhouette. Anyone have the faintest clue WHAT THE HELL THAT THING IS!?!?!? Is it The Void somehow separated from The Sentry?
SIEGE BLOCKBUSTER TIE-IN!! In the middle of SIEGE, Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye take center stage in a sick twisted battle, and launch their own agenda, revealing their true relationship, and their personal plans for Norman Osborn.
I don’t know for sure WHAT it is but it’s kicking that Doombot’s ass. I’m guessing this is just a better view the previously seen attack on Doom that ended up being a Doombot that launched a nanotech attack in retaliation. If it IS the Void. That makes Sentry an even surer bet for the “Fallen” hero.

INTERNATIONAL and HISTORIC HOMOEROTIC HALL of FAME NOMINEE:
Japan’s "greatest homoerotic artist", Sadao Hasegawa (長谷川サダオ, Hasegawa Sadao, 1945(?) – November 20, 1999) created compelling works that were both deeply erotic and spiritual. His work has historical roots in the premodern Shunga works which depicted both hetero and homo erotic scenes as well as a wide range of fetishes, but is peppered with the mythology of other cultures as well as modern elements.
His work often incorporates Japanese, Indian, South-East Asian and African mythology with bondage and sadomasochistic scenes featuring muscular asian men in ectasy. His editor once said "Sadao’s drawings transcend the level of pornography, emulating likenesses found in Buddhist art." The combination of figures and sybolism stylistically inspired by a number of cultures and his extreme sexual situations surrounded by elaborate fantastic settings does lend a certain sacred quality to these erotic fleeting moments.
Sadao Hasegawa was a principle illustrator for Barazoku (Japan’s most distinguished gay publication) for over 20 years and also appeared in many other gay magazines. The first self-titled book collectiong his works, Sadao Hasegawa was published in 1990 and has been reprinted 3 times, but few copies are still available. A second collection of his work called Paradise Visions was published in 1996.
In addition to his obvious historical and cultural inspirations, many of these images are noticebly influenced by the bright colors and geometric design motifs common to the work of many western graphic designers of the 80s as well as the art of western homoerotic illustrators such as Tom of Finland and Etienne as well as the work of his idol, Barazoku illustrator Goh Mishma (1924-1989).
Sadly, Sadao Hasegawa committed suicide on November 20, 1999. His body was found in a hotel room where he had hanged himself in a manner that resembled the suicide of a Samurai warrior and left behind a note "asking forgiveness for his life" and a portait he’d painted on a rock of author Yukio Mishima (who committed harikiri when he felt he’d reached perfection). This has led some to infer that the 54 year old Sadao felt his art had reached perfection and therfore similarly decided to end his life.
The mysteries surrounding the death of both men remain deeply rooted in centuries of cultural traditions, philosophies often confusing to the Western mind.
He left behind a body of work that was almost lost. His brother first threw away all the work he found when cleaning out Sadao’s home, but then rescued what he’d tossed after receiving a letter postmarked from Bangkok before Sadao’s death asking him to see to it that his art would be sold at Naruyama Gallery.
I’m looking to add more international artists to the HomoErotic Artist index, so if you know of any I should consider, PLEASE leave a comment!

The time has come for the Norman Osborn and his Dark Reign to end. He’s got Asgard under siege against the direct orders of the President of the United States. There is a word for that… treason. He is going down. The only question is how far. Will Norman Osborn survive The Siege?
THE MARVEL BLOCKBUSTER OF THE YEAR!! In the halls of Asgard and on the streets of small town America the entire Universe is gripped in a the greatest battle ever seen: SIEGE!! Lives have been lost! Lines have been drawn! And the battle for Asgard is in full force. The moment for revelations and life-changing moves is here, and for some, this will be the last choice they ever make in this world. What happens next is so epic, so historic, that it changes the entire dynamic of the Marvel Universe. You’re gonna want to be there for this one…trust us.
The White House portion of the teaser above makes it pretty clear how this new Heroic Age is going to come about. Norm’s in TROUBLE with a capital T. He’s wanted for treason. And that doesn’t even take into account the evidence gathered by the former New Warriors detailing payments made to the U-Foes for their role in deliberately staging a Stamfordesque slaughter of American citizens in Chicago. He’s screwed.
The Avengers will kick Normie’s green butt all the way to Hela and back. I kinda hope he is killed by Daken as foretold in Dark Wolverine or they just let the Asgardians have him, but they’ll probably do the right thing and turn him into the government to stand trial. When the dust settles the President will be so grateful to Nick Fury, Captain America, Iron Man and Thor that he’ll push the paperwork through fast on smashing H.A.M.M.E.R..

UPDATE: Chat with Geoff Johns and Jim Lee on Twitter about Justice League : The Rise and Fall today (03.10.10) at 6:30pm EST
With Justice League: Cry for Justice in the can and its secrets out of the bag we can really talk about this. How do YOU feel about the wanton destruction of whole cities not to mention killing off fictional toddlers with a lineage that makes possible great potential for good OR evil depending on the ideas of future writers. I get that they wanted to send Green Arrow down a dark path, but killing off his goddaughter Lian along with 90,000 other Star City citizens?
I think we are heading into the dangerous territory of bloody carnage for the sake of shock value. I wonder if he’s going to run into Lian’s mom Cheshire on the dark path? I bet she’ll be mighty PISSED! Her being on his side might snap him out of it?
The aftershocks of Green Arrow’s actions at the end of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE are only beginning to be felt, as the heroic community that includes Ollie’s teammates begin to discover just how far the Emerald Archer went. How can Green Arrow face his friends after taking justice into his own hands? Find out here, courtesy of writer J.T. Krul and an all-star art crew including Mike Mayhew, Diogenes Neves and Fabrizio Fiorentino.
Now as to poor Roy’s arm, that although I think it was just as violent and unnecessarily shocking as the rest of Cry for Justice, I will be so happy to see him give up the Red Arrow identity. I always felt it was a step back for the character.
On Ollie killing Prometheus… more power to him. He DEFINITELY had it coming. You don’t get to kill 90,000+ people AND the god-daughter of a JLA member and live. Will the JLA feel the same way? I bet a few might agree. I’m more interested in why Ollie was able to put an arrow through his metal visor so easily. Hope it’s not another doppelganger.
A voyeur’s dream come true, Channel1Releasing’s latest XXX release, Steven Daigle XXXposed gets you an-all access pass to the most private parts of TV’s hottest bad-boy buckaroo. See the adorably hunky cowboy from TV’s "Big Brother" in all his glory in the most-buzzed about gay porn of early 2010. Hell, even TMZ took notice.
An epic that blurs the lines of fantasy and reality, it’s hard to know where one begins and the other ends as Steven Daigle finds himself caught in the center of the gay porn world with the hottest boys in the biz all wanting a piece of him.
From reality television celebrity to gay porn star, Steven Daigle XXXposed takes you on the erotic journey that has been the sexy "Big Brother" reality-star Southern cowboy’s leap from small screen to blue screen. Raw, uncensored, never before seen footage of Steven Daigle combined with the directorial brilliance of multi-award winning Chi Chi LaRue makes this a movie unlike anything ever produced in gay adult cinema.
We first see Daigle filming his own celebrity sex tape with Jeremy Bilding and Jimmy Durano in a gay club bathroom using a hand-held camera. This technique is used quite effectivly here. We get to see Daigle get down and dirty and it seems all the more voyeuristic due to the way its filmed..
But of course since he is in the title, Steven Daigle has more than just the first scene. Daigle and Josh Griffin burn up the screen in a finale that is not to be missed. Daigle seems to be enjoying the hell out of every second. He makes each moment seem like a trip to Disneyland.
Years ago a herald of Galactus sacrificed her life for the universe, but a portion of her spirit lived on. And in Heralds that spirit returns to seek revenge "on those who left her behind." And how does a redhead civilian named Francis figure into this cosmic drama? My guess is as some kind of host for the spirit of Frankie Raye but I may just have to pick this up to find out for sure.
The ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world.
The Magical Sorcerer’s Apprentice stars Nicolas Cage as Balthazar Blake, Jay Baruchel as Dave Stutler, Monica Bellucci as Veronica and Alfred Molina as Horvath.
In modern day Manhattan, the master sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicholas Cage) attempts to protect the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), an evil wizard with nefarious plans.

UPDATE: MORE Avengers Line-up News!!! The fourth Avengers title joining Avengers, New Avengers and Secret Avengers is Avengers Academy, written by Avengers: The Initiative scribe Christos Gage and featuring art by Mike McKone. I LOVED McKone’s work on Teen Titans and am so psyched to see him get an ongoing title. There will be more Academy students revealed this week and I’ll update this post as they become available…
For now we just have these teasers showing a girl with the codename Veil, a cute boy in a lightning bolt danskin codenamed Striker, a lizard-boy dinomorph named Reptil (who was seen in the Initiative), a literal iron man named Fortress (who looks like he could use a makeover upgrade) a possible taskmistress in Finesse and a girl nuke in Hazmat. Most of these characters are new except for Reptil and possibly Veil. Apparently there was a “Veil” running around during Civil War but no word on if this is that one, the original Veil (thought killed by Pyro of Freedom Force) or someone new.
I want to like this title, but am underwhelmed with the roster thus far. But then again it might matter more who the FACULTY will be… I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that the Young Avengers (Vision, Hulkling, Wiccan, Speed, Patriot, Stature, Hawkingbird) will have something to do with this title, but their are a lot of possible Avengers still unaccounted on the rosters of The New Avengers or Avengers rosters… Some may end up as-yet-to-be-identified Secret Avengers, but who is still missing or unidentified and shows promise to teach at Avengers Academy? Justice, Firestar, Wasp, Ms Marvel, Mockingbird, Wonder Man, Arachne, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Iron Fist, Tigra, War Machine, Falcon, USAgent, Jocasta and Marvel Boy are a few I’d like to see.
Lets hope some of the potentials heavy hitters above show up as faculty and anchor this title with a cast of unknowns.

The recent revelation that Gail Simone was leaving Wonder Woman has been followed by today’s announcement that J. Michael Straczynski (Rising Stars) will be taking over writing chores for 2 of DC’s biggest stars as of their July issues. He had a lot to say about Clark and Diana…
Wonder Woman is a strong, mythic, powerful character who for some time now has been kind of drowning under the weight of her own mythos, so I’m looking forward to paring away some of the layers of debris and undergrowth that have piled up around her in order to get to the core of the character. We’re going to be looking more closely at how Wonder Woman appears, and functions, and her role in the DCU… and what we have planned will, we hope, come across as dynamic and powerful as she deserves to be.
Similarly, we plan to bring Superman back to his roots, to really explore who he is…how he sees us, and how we see him, in a much more personal way than we’ve seen in a while. This is part of a larger effort that will have national ramifications, but I can’t say much more about it than that for now. Keep an eye on TheSource for more information when the time is right…but for now, let’s just say that Superman may be a lot closer in proximity to you, the reader, than you ever guessed.
J. Michael Straczynski couldn’t be more excited that DC is using this June’s monumental anniversary issues of these two titles to kick off his run. I’m not sure how much contribution he’ll be making to those issues, but his run begins in earnest with 701 and 601. To say he’s a lifelong Superman fan who is realizing a childhood dream with this gig is an understatement. He grew up a poor kid from Jersey who looked to Superman as the icon of inspiration and strength, even carrying the S symbol like a personal talisman.
You also might know Straczynski from his recent work on Thor, The Twelve, Fantastic Four, Supreme Power, and Midnight Nation (last 2 both with recent Superman artist Gary Frank). I’m not sure how excited I am about this. It REALLY sounds like he’s more interested in doing Superman and Wonder Woman might get the short end of the stick. Lets hope not.
Artists for his run have yet to be announced, but I’m hoping the fact that Straczynski has teamed with Gary Frank TWICE before makes him a likely candidate for regular Superman artist.

Class Comics has released volume 2 of Tug Harder, chronicling the xxxploits of Doug Arder, an undercover photojournalist prepared to do whatever it takes to get the hottest unauthorized pictures he can. Of course he doesn’t realize how far his story will take him, this time or the next!
Tug Harder vol 1: Secretly photographing his exploits, he screws his way through a farmyard of hard working men; drunks, ex-cons and college dropouts alike. But Hell hath no fury like a redneck scorned!
Tug Harder vol 2: After being rescued by an alien force, Tug photograps his way through the mother ship and discovers a plot so big, that it will impact the entire human race! The farmhands from volume 1 have also been taken with him, and they are all "experimented" with in the most unthinkable of manners! There are unexpected, but not unplesant side effects to these experiments however!
Fan Favorite writer Gail Simone is ending her lengthy run on Wonder Woman. There is no word as of yet who will be taking over as writer for WW, but Gail has a mouthful about her mystery successor… She said she was “genuinely thrilled by who is taking over the book,” assures us that the new writer will rock this book like there’s no tomorrow” and adds “people are going to freak and that makes me smile a lot.”
I hope whoever it is (stay tuned) will keep Achilles and Patrick Cleese (Patroclus) around. I want to see that relationship develop and will be severely disappointed if the new team lets them languish in literary limbo.
She reunites with Secret Six artist Nicola Scott for her final WW story arc in Wonder Woman #42 (a 3 part story about “a big, crazy invasion story featuring the return of someone from WW history”), ending her tenure on the book with issue #45, but will also contribute to the newly renumbered Wonder Woman #600 (which would be #45). She also revealed that a life-long dream of hers “comes true in WONDER WOMAN #600″
I’ve looked through an archive of her foes and there aren’t many alien females listed… two I noticed were Eviless and Badra but they are pretty obscure. Any guesses on Gail’s last pick for a big bad?
But fans should fear not! Big things are afoot for Gail Simone… Not only will she be continuing on with her fantastic work on Secret Six and is coming full-circle at DC by reteaming with artist Ed Benes on Birds of Prey (the book that marked her big start with the publisher), but she’s also penning a new Welcome to Tranquility mini due in July!

Sorry I couldn’t resist sharing this… There is definitely something more than a bit wrong about this song from 19 year old Swedish pop star Eric Saade. But he doesn’t care. He’ll show you how to love. I wonder if this twinkie has even heard of ABBA?
I found it a bit repetively redundant but then again what do you expect from a song called Manboy.
With the revealed cover to Siege: Fallen igniting a frenzy of rumors about the supposedly impending death of The Sentry,” CBR’s Comic Book Legends Revealed decided to spotlight the super secret origin of the character. He was created by Paul Jenkins and artist Rick Veitch. He was originally meant to be an over the hill mid-level superhero with an addiction problem and a long backstory dating back to 50s before becoming a “forgotten” hero. Since he was supposed to have had adventures that touched many eras, Veitch designed a number of looks for the character, each reflecting the costumes of the time.
The pair created not only a fictional history for the Sentry within the Marvel Universe, but also a fictional publication history in the “real world.” They had planned on crediting the fictional “old time” comic book artists Chick Rivet and Juan Pinkles (anagrams of their names) as the Sentry’s creators.
The concept and creative team for the Sentry experienced some shake-ups once it got to the pitch stage. Veitch was replaced by Jae Lee (hot off his Inhumans mini). The Sentry’s power level was SIGNIFICANTLY increased. The addiction element of the character was shelved until the recent revelation that he was addicted to a serum that gives him his powers.
When the time FINALLY came to credit someone with the “long ago” creation of this “forgotten” character, Marvel promoted The Sentry limited series as the first appearance of an unknown Stan Lee Silver Age hero. Marvel received help in perpetrating the hoax from comic book magazine Wizard: The Guide to Comics when they reported the discovery of “lost” Sentry sketches by a forgotten artist named “Artie Rosen” (a nod to letterers Artie Simek and Sam Rosen who designed most of the Marvel mastheads of their era).
Superhero is The first official music video from new band TimAndTheSpaceCadets. It’s a bit bubble gum for me but it IS adorable. For videos, pictures, music, and lots more, be sure to check out their website… TimAndTheSpaceCadets.com
Plus “Tim” is kinda cute too. Great blue eyes. Possible retouched, but great.
As you can probably tell by his regular JustUsBoys forum handle (Horny4JaredPadalecki), the Photoshop faker known as Sol definitely has favorite subjects. But since they are the likes of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, we don’t mind so much…
I always invite the artist to submit an artists statement about their process and inspiration so the quotes that follow are taken from a statement from Sol…
Back in the late 90’s, as a “young, hormone driven gay man, with a new found porn toy, aka, the internet”, Sol was bombarded with images of female celebrity nudes, but found that there wasn’t much in the area of free male fakes. So he took it upon himself to come up with something passable. Discovering Photoshop by sheer accident, it’s toolset opened a whole new set of doors that the OCD perfectionist within could warp to his advantage. Since, this was driven by his own needs to see these images, the manips created were for celebs he found appealing. Celebs, he wanted to see naked, inspired by the “pure hotness in a male actor.”
Around 2 years ago he came across a manipulating group on Yahoo that did what he did… Erotic photomanipulations of Male Celebrities. They even have competitions. all for fun of course. That group has evolved into a restricted fraternity group over at Live Journal. Their challenges evoke more than just head swapping. (The first Winchesters pic at Sexy Sam/Dean Photo Manipulations are a prefect example of the kind of manipulations showcased there). That group has pushed Sol into “thinking outside the head swapping box” and looking for new ways to get the Celebs to do what they already do in his head.
Sol is unapologetic about his “overflow of Supernatural manipulations.” But Like I said, I certainly don’t fault him for his tastes.
I can’t seem to bring myself to apologize for that, I fell in love with Jared and couldn’t help but play and play and play with him, eventually bringing in Jensen to play along as well. Jared and Jensen just seemed to be the flavor of the moment for me. But if you’ve seen my flicker account, I do have other tastes as well. lol.
Sol has been active in the MaleCelebFakes threads since January 2007, but it took me awhile to amass enough variety for a gallery due to his crush on the Supernaturally sexy Winchester brothers. He’s on a short list of talented photomanipulaters whose work I patiently collect until I have a wide enough selection to fill an archive gallery.

Seriously? I pass that intersection fairly often in midafternoon (when going to Molly Stones or Noah’s Bagels) and these assholes are there WAY too often. They always have their hateful Obama is Hitler posters that just make me mad enough to spit. I managed to restrain myself, but couldn’t resist firing off a FUCK YOU when they had the nerve to try to talk to me. Then Popapathy made me feel bad so I reiterated Sorry, I don’t mean YOU, I meant FUCK THAT and pointed at the poster, took Popapathy’s hand and turned to leave. Upon which the asshole said something along the usual ignorant lines of a homophobe response to FUCK YOU… “I’d bet you’d like to” or some other shit. The woman with him said Oh Gross when we held hands. We kept walking and Popapathy didn’t really hear them but was livid when I told him. This is our city and our neighborhood. What I don’t get is why do they keep coming back? And How do we get rid of them?
I don’t have an answer to the first question, but as an attempt to see if I can help with the second, I’ve created a Twitter account called NoHateFlashMob (PLEASE FRIEND AND SHARE THE LINK!!!!) that I’d like to see anyone in the area join and keep informed if they show up so we might mobilize some kind of equal opportunity situation. If every time they show up someone sets up a table next to them manned by marriage equability supporters, colorful drag queens and anyone else who would get a kick out of being a thorn in their side, they might show up less.

UPDATE: MORE Avengers Line-up News!!!Finally a surprise! Today’s addition to the New Avengers Roster is none other than Aunt Petunia’s favorite nephew, the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing himself! I’ll be interested to see the whys and wherefores on this… Has he had a falling out with his Fantastic family? or is Benjy just bored and looking to schedule a little extra “clobberin time” each week? He IS poker buddies with Luke and Logan so it’s not that odd, but what gets him on the team? Will the FF be making a Siege appearance? You’d think they would chime in.
Every day this week, Marvel has revealed a member of the new “New Avengers” title launching in June. But the roster hasn’t exactly been earth shaking as the line-up thus far includes only people who were already on, or heavily associated with the team. The biggest surprise is seeing Luke Cage’s wife Jessica Jones back in her retconned Jewel outfit. A fifth member will be revealed tomorrow so stay tuned for that update.
So thus far we have Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Jewel and The Thing as “New Avengers” and Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Spider-Woman and Hawkeye are “Avengers.”
So who does that leave to be the so-called “Secret Avengers?” Whose missing from these teams? Wasp, Steve Rogers (Cap in Avengers is wearing Bucky’s Cap outfit), Ms Marvel, Mockingbird, Vision, Hulkling, Wiccan, Speed, Patriot, Stature, Hawkingbird (I’ll keep calling her that until she becomes the Taskmistresses she SHOULD be), Wonder Man, Arachne, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Amadeus Cho, Doctor Voodoo, Iron Fist, War Machine, She Hulk, Falcon, Black Widow, USAgent, Jocasta, Black Panther, Beast and Marvel Boy. Other suggestions included: Valkyrie, Nova and Moon Knight.
Or perhaps the “Secret Avengers” will be a team of Thunderbolt types led by Steve Rogers?
And the question of who will be enrolling at the Avengers Academy is as much a mystery as who will be teaching them!!! Lets hope some of the potentials above show up as faculty!

We have the Marvel Trinity (Captain America, Iron Man and Thor) back in action again, but will they be able to get along once The Siege is over? Captain America “died” because of the treatment he received from teammate Tony Stark. And when Thor resurfaced and found out what went on during Civil War he was equally displeased with Iron Man. Siege Aftermath: Avengers Prime is a 5 issue miniseries starting in June from writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Alan Davis that takes place in the days following “Siege,” but before May’s new “Avengers” series launches.
In the current event miniseries, “Siege,” they will be forced to temporarily put aside their differences and work together to stop the villainous Norman Osborn and his ally Loki from gaining ultimate power. But what happens after that? Thor, Steve and Iron Man all find themselves pulled into an adventure that places them down in some unfamiliar territory and forces them to rely on each other as they get to the bottom of things.
Hmmm, why have they blacked out the outfit Steve Rogers is wearing???
The SIEGE has ended and taken its toll on both sides of the battle field. The event seven years in the making has claimed many lives, and in this, its final chapter, a universe comes together to mourn (CLASSIFIED). The shocking death that ended the fight and gave birth to a new Heroic Age is remembered as a writer (CLASSIFIED) returns to lead the farewells.
The 2nd image is the cover to another title chronicaling the aftermath of Siege… Fallen. The cover shows a number of heroes (Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, Ms. Marvel, and Black Widow?) holding up the corpse of a well-coiffed mystery figure (that looks like Sentry or maybe Quicksilver).
