In the spring of 2008, Frank Anthony Polito released Band Fags! to the general public, hoping to find the niche of others who had navigated the horrors of high school in the eighties. What he didn’t expect was the surge in popularity among the high school-aged youth of today. It appeared that the high school experience, with all its trauma and angst, was easily understood no matter what era, and the plight of Jack Paterno, who sought to be true to himself and to be popular, struck a chord with audiences of all ages.

Now, approximately a year later, Polito has published Drama Queers, a follow-up of sorts to his debut novel. This time, Brad Dayton is the main character, a promotion from his position as Jack’s sidekick in the first novel. With a change in character comes a change in focus, and where Band Fags! was very much a story of coming to terms with identity and coming out, Drama Queers finds itself more concerned with the general experience of being a teenager, as Brad makes very clear early on that he is gay.

Ah, you just have to love Youtube — the only place where you can pretend to be big and bad, talk all your shit, and not risk being punched in the face by Will I Am.

Youtube user Pruane2Forever, aka the Sexman, apparently built up a name for himself by doing comic reviews, drawing in millions of viewers. In one of his videos he criticized rapper 50 Cent for his professional work. He wonders how 50 still has “street cred” after doing endorsements for Vitamin Water, makeup and dildos. “What else is he gonna do? 50 Cent diapers for your little gangsta?,” asked Sexman.

50 Cent’s PR got a hold of the kid and flew him over from good ol’ Canada to New York at the rapper’s request. The two then makes a little Youtube video together and the kid looks scared shitless — like he doesn’t know if he’s going to get stuffed in a trunk of a Cadillac.

Jamie Foxx and his crew went mad shit crazy on their weekly radio talk show, ‘The Foxxhole,’ in which they attacked 16-year-old Miley Cyrus.

He advised the Hannah Montana star to “make a sex tape and grow up” before telling her to get a gum transplant, adding: “Do some heroin… get some crack in your pipe.”

But Foxx has now apologized to Cyrus for making the remarks, telling U.S. chat show host Jay Leno it was simply meant in a humorous way.

He says, “There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologise for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

Okay, now here’s what I think: BULL SHIT! He probably beats his daughter as badly as he can talk shit to a 16-year-old girl. Who else think Foxx has a lot of growing up to do?

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper apparently knows a thing or two about teabagging. In fact, he seems a little more knowledgeable in it than most of the gay folks.

On last night’s show Cooper yelled “teabagging, they got teabagging” during their typical boring ass political rambling. Then Cooper goes on to say “it’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging” and then of course, David Gergen laughed like Hugaert.

Cooper wanted us to remind you to please come up every now and then to breath… It gets a lil’ dark down there. ;) Video after the jump.

The media war is brewing as ‘Sordid Lives’ writer Del Shores goes public with his financial crisis and attacks the LOGO television network for all their wrongdoing. Shores announced Monday to his facebook fan club that the production of Season 2 of ‘Sordid Lives: The Series’ will be at a standstill because LOGO failed to pay.

Fans and supporters of ‘Sordid Lives’ reacted negatively to the news and began a boycott of LOGO. A facebook group has reportedly been set-up with email addresses — some personal — of the executives in charge at LOGO, asking supporters to persuade the network to pay up so that Shores can continue on with Season 2.

Shores published a letter Tuesday which goes into details about his relationship with LOGO and his financial situation. Shores says his home has gone into foreclosure and the producers still refused to pay his residuals.
