UPDATE: At the request of our web host, the photos of Colton Haynes swapping tongue with another guy was removed to prevent our asses from being sued.

Actor Colton Haynes is back in the spotlight. This time he’s armed with an attorney. Back in 2006 photos of Colton Haynes kissing another guy for an issue of XY magazine made its circulation around the web.

The photographer of those photos, Sean Bentz sent an email out to hundreds of blogs requesting the images be removed, Popwired included. Of course we complied.

Little to say, Popwired knew something was up and we just learned today that Bentz and his lawyer were probably making their rounds to keep their client out of the gaydar because of Colton’s new show on MTV called ‘Teen Wolf’ which is debuting this weekend.

EDITOR’S NOTE – So I got an interesting email today from a company called Popwired Music Group. I did a little Google search on them, which not surprisingly, brought up nothing. Anyways, they alleged us of infringing on their IP and wants us to transfer the domain name over to avoid legal action. Um, excuse me?

The company claims to have represented Key$ha (labeled with RCA) and many others. Anyways you can see the email their “counsel” sent and my unprofessional response after the jump. Crazedhits.com sounds really desperate for visitors, considering that Quantcast.com rated their monthly visits to be only 3,000.

Should we give in or argue this out? Let’s see how this all plays out.

Porn downloaders might need a little more than lube to get off this time. The gay porn industry is putting together their army of lawyers and going after video piracy.

Corbin Fisher, known for their videos of “straight” college men have gone out on a full-blown suing campaign to the tune of $150,000. The company was a little nice about it in which they gave offending users a two-week amnesty period to come forward and admit to downloading the videos.

In today’s wonderful series of WTF, porn star Simon Dexter butt heads (hehe) with London-based photographer Dylan Rosser over some racy images — and evidently some misunderstanding of contract law.

So, what’s the deal?

If only porn stars’ reading skills were as good as their performances, this world would be a better place.

Dexter (pictured right) is angry that he was only paid $350 posing for what he thought was a coffee table book campaign. He state that if he knew it was for a “porn website” he would have charged $5000 because, you know, it’s so rare to find a gay person who want to strip naked.

The Adam Lambert drama that just won’t end! Well, now it’s Popwired’s turn to shrine in. After all, who knows better than the gays who judge other gays for a living?

Adam Lambert made ‘American Music Awards’  history Sunday evening with his provocative dance on live television.

During his musical performance he kissed his male keyboardist — gay gasp — and then shoved another one to his crotch, simulating what everyone assumes to be “oral sex.”

The drama continued Tuesday when ABC announced that they canceled their scheduled Wednesday concert with Adam Lambert, literally exploding the blogaysphere.

Looks like Levi Johnston won’t have a place to take his nude pics this week after a up-scale hotel turned down Playgirl, Gawker reports.

A story ran on NY’s Page Six claiming that the magazine’s “offer was well below the current rental rate” and that “they were politely declined” by an anonymous hotel rep. Rumor has it that Playgirl wanted a penthouse setting because they wanted the shoot to be more “elegant,” after all, it is Levi Johnston.

How much more “elegant” can a porno get?

Dallas Voice editor Tammye Nash voiced her concerns on the Instant Tea blog over Pastor Joey Faust’s militant’s comment over a LGBT protest in Fort Worth, Texas. The militants are from the Kingdom Baptist Church in Venus, Texas.

“God will not be mocked…and He will never except homosexuals haveing special right which are against natural law and fly in the face of His commandments. Homosexuality is a DEATH PENALTY SIN and we must pack the City Council on Tuesday November 10 to STOP THIS ABBOMINATION!!”

I think the only abomination here is the dude’s spelling problem. Check out the article here.

These people supporting the “death penalty” sin is as bad as me saying we should make smores and hot chocolate after getting a gang of mo’s to burn down the church, not that I support this in any fashion. Check out the protest vid after the jump.

Apparently the Westboro Baptist Church was not in favor of a satire that we published yesterday evening, which thanked Fred Phelps for his commitment to being an asshole, which in turn united a major part of the gay and straight community.

I received a funny email in my inbox this morning from one of Phelps’ minions — probably the sister that he slept with — that condemned my organization and I to hell. You know what, whenever we do drop dead in hell, lets schedule a lunch date. We could be the best of friends. Read the email after the jump.

Fred Phelps, Westboro Baptist Church, “God hates fags” – all terms that warm my heart and make me one happy dyke.

Confused much?  Don’t be.  We gays and hetero-allies should all line up to give Fred Phelps a big faggotty kiss right on the mouth.  Who else but Phelps would allow himself to be such a public figure famous for his ignorance and hatred just to make the LGBT community look good?  Aw shucks, Freddie.  At the thought of how grateful I am to you, I just blushed a little.

There’s some beefy shit going on between supermodels Tyra Banks and Paulina Porizkova.

Porizkova recently got fired from being a judge on America’s Next Top Model — after what, two seasons? — and went out to talk to Access Hollywood and the Billy Bush Show:

“I must admit I was having a little bit of an issue with Tyra being late for every judging,” she told Billy. “It’s six hours later and I feel like I am being told my time is not as valuable as hers. They pointed out that I should shut up and be grateful for the job and that Tyra is really busy.”
