<p>Interrupting a phone call with renowned therapist Dr. Jenn Berman, we scored a one-on-one interview with the self-proclaimed &#8220;Hot Mess,&#8221; Amber Deylon, from Oxygen&#8217;s <em>Pretty Wicked</em>.</p>
<p>This new hit reality show fools 10 young women into thinking they are competing to become Hollywood&#8217;s next IT girl, and after the girls flaunt about why they are the best for the position, it is revealed they are there instead to improve their &#8220;wicked&#8221; ways with personality makeovers.<br />
<span id="more-8423"></span><br />
&#8220;Pretty Wicked taught me a lot about who I was and who I want to become,&#8221; Amber says, &#8220;and with the help of Dr. Jenn and the other girls, I&#8217;m more aware of others and their feelings.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you missed last night&#8217;s episode, <strong>Amber openly tells her roommates that she is bisexual</strong>, feeling she is placed on the show because of numerous sugar-mamas and sugar-daddies.  Classy thing to admit, I must say.</p>
<p>Feeling a definite shock-factor from the other girls, Amber proclaims her sexual orientation is not important.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t feel the need to say hi, my name is Amber, I’m 23, and bisexual… You just don&#8217;t do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although she&#8217;s been open about her sexuality the majority of her life, broadcasting it on national television has sky-rocketed Amber into the public eye, earning fan mail from all over the country asking her for advice on how to come out to friends and family.</p>
<h2>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to be defined by my sexuality&#8230;I want to be a leader.  A voice.&#8221;</h2>
<p>By getting her name out there, Amber hopes to break down all stereotypes that are ignorantly placed on the GLBT community.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now that I am out to my television audience, I want to continue what I have always done which is speaking up for gay rights, the reversal of Proposition 8, and the acceptance of gays,&#8221; Amber said.  &#8220;I want to help our community so that the next generation can live peacefully, however they wish, with whomever they wish.&#8221;</p>
<p>Amber is an aspiring television host with influences like Ellen and Ryan Seacrest.  Also, with her company ADD Productions, Amber is working on several projects aimed specifically towards the GLBT community.  You’re sure to see more of Amber D in the near future.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE: CHECK OUT AMBER DEYLON&#8217;S <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theamberdeylonshow">MYSPACE</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Pretty Wicked airs every Tuesday night 10/9 CST on Oxygen.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft alignnone size-medium wp-image-2643" style="float: left;" title="Intimate Encounters: Azariah Southworth" src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2008/04/img_9489-400x500.jpg" alt="Intimate Encounters: Azariah Southworth" width="214" height="282" />Step your teen bopper ass back Lance Bass, because this year someone that actually matters just came out of the closet and didn&#8217;t have to prance to do it. It&#8217;s time for the favorite part of any gay man&#8217;s life: the one-hitter-quitter&#8230; and let me tell you, this one hit it out the park as far as I&#8217;m concerned :p</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve recently had the great pleasure of being able to interview the former Christian T.V. host of The Remix and recently outed celebrity, Azariah Southworth. I&#8217;ll be honest with you guys, he&#8217;s easily one of the sweetest people I&#8217;ve interviewed to date.</p>
<p>Without further adieu, our latest intimate encounter: Azariah Southworth.</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> I suppose first and foremost, my opening question has to be about the Feedback. I know there&#8217;s been a lot of support for you, but I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s also been a lot of backlash. Which was more prevalent for you?</p>
<p><span id="more-2642"></span></p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> A little over 90% of the feedback has been very positive and supportive. However, it has not been from the church like Christianpost.com reported. They twisted what I said and made it like the church was being supportive when that is not the case. There has been a little backlash but more positive than negative for sure.</p>
<p>FYI: The Good Christians took his quote of â€œIâ€™ve received literally hundreds of emails from everyone around the world and they&#8217;re all encouragingâ€? to be referring to the Christian Community, instead of being a general statement as it was originally intended. Gotta love propaganda-oriented journalism, really shows some great colors.</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> I read somewhere that you would be unable to continue on with your Television program, was that due to a decision on your part, or a decision by the network? If there are any very specific details that you&#8217;d rather not share that&#8217;s fine, but I was just curious about your comfort level with the events.</p>
<p><img class="alignright alignnone size-medium wp-image-2644" style="float: right;" title="Intimate Encounters: Azariah Southworth" src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2008/04/img_9479-400x500.jpg" alt="Intimate Encounters: Azariah Southworth" width="256" height="320" /><strong>Azariah:</strong> I was not going to be able to my TV show anymore because I knew the networks were not going to allow it. Sure enough, I was correct. The show is officially kicked off the air. So, if MTV, FUSE, or LOGO is reading thisâ€¦I have an amazing show for you! Yeah, as soon as the network executives got wind of the news they immediately pulled it with no hesitation. I knew that was going to happen, because I know these people, what they believe, and they donâ€™t believe in being gay.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> lol Gotta love shameless self-promotion =D How has your family been impacted due to the recent announcement? Have they been supportive of your lifestyle?</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> My family has been very supportive and loving, thank God! I know itâ€™s not easy for them, but our relationship is still good and the strong. My family will never stop loving me, they may disagree but theyâ€™ll never stop loving me. Weâ€™re a very close and strong family; weâ€™ve already been through too much together.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> Were you worried your surroundings when you came out? I know Tennessee isn&#8217;t exactly the most blue state on the map, let alone being the humble home of the Grand Ole Opry.</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> Lol! Actually, yes, I was very worried. I went out to a birthday dinner the night it all blew up in the media and when I got home I kept looking behind me, I put the chain lock on both of my doors. I was very scared. The smallest sound or movement of anything freaked me out.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> I know from personal experience that when you just come out of the closet, you may not necessarily have a great number of gay friends for support; do you consider yourself to be very active (socially or politically) in the Gay Community?</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> Yes, Iâ€™m very socially active in the gay community here in Nashville. I have a lot of very close gay friends who support me and have already been down the road Iâ€™m on. Theyâ€™re all very intelligent and educated in what the Bible really says about being gay too. Iâ€™m very grateful for the friends I have here, straight and gay.</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> Do you have any special guys in your life, or a partner that you&#8217;ve shared these recent roller-coaster days with? Be Honest! You&#8217;re a pretty good looking guy with a good head on his shoulders, I&#8217;m sure if you&#8217;re not taken, there would be plenty of guys throwing themselves at you by now.</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> Wellâ€¦ Iâ€™m currently singleâ€¦ However, I received an email from a guy in Atlanta and weâ€™ve been talking online and over the phone now. Heâ€™s seems to be a really great guy, we come from the same backgrounds, he loves Jesus, heâ€™s really cute, heâ€™s goal oriented, we love the same kind of music and style of clothes, did I mention heâ€™s freaking cute! Lol! When we talk, we talk for a long time and I really enjoy it. Weâ€™re planning on going on a date. Iâ€™m very excited.</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> lol That cute huh? You gotta love attraction at its Gayest; have you maintained many of your old friends with the recent declaration of your preferences? I know that sometimes some people aren&#8217;t as&#8230;accepting as we&#8217;d like them to be.</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> Iâ€™ve had a few fallouts with friends in the past week. Some of them use to be my closest friends but now our friendship will never be the same. There is so much more to that story, but itâ€™s very personal and maybe can be told when it is all resolved. I hope that we will come to a place where we can be friends again though. They mean a lot to me. However, if they decide to move on then so be it. Like Madea says, â€œI put everyone in my life in the category of a tree. Some people are like leaves, one day theyâ€™re over here and when the wind blows theyâ€™re all the sudden over here, when the season changes theyâ€™re gone. Some other people are like branches, now you got to be careful with those branches, theyâ€™ll trick you. As soon as you step out on them, some of them break from right underneath you. You got to be careful with those branches. But when you find yourself two or three good people like the roots of that tree, they ainâ€™t going nowhere. When people want to go, let them go.â€? That is some of the wisest advice for friendships Iâ€™ve heard.</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> In the Future, do you still see a Christian oriented career for yourself, or have you moved on to other occupational pursuits?</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> I definitely want to be involved in ministry and I think thatâ€™s where my life/career is kind of heading right now. However, I still want to do television and I would love to host a talk show. That is something Iâ€™m pursuing right now. I would also love to deejay a radio show.</p>
<p><strong>Alex: </strong>I know with the recent events, and especially being a part of the pious Christian community, one may question himself or his allegiances when coming to grips with being a homosexual. How has your faith been affected during this time of self-actualization? Were you ever worried about it being a &#8220;sinful life,&#8221; just the wrong way to live or did you believe God would be alright with your manner of lifestyle? After all, I know of a holy man who was always surrounded by twelve men at once, and it was very fashionable at the time; then again, that was two millennia ago.</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> My faith has been tested but strengthened in the past week. I have become more aware of who I am as a person and as a Christian. Through this Iâ€™ve seen my hypocrisy in situations which has caused me to learn. However, Iâ€™ve discovered more of who I am and who I strive to be. I was definitely worried being gay was a â€œsinful lifeâ€? but after doing research I donâ€™t feel that way anymore. I believe God just wants us to find someone to love. The Bible says there is neither male nor female in the body of Christ. God is not a male or a female, he is his own, heâ€™s God. God doesnâ€™t see gender when he looks at us, he sees our hearts, and he is only worried about the condition of our hearts. (Indeed â€“ Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed for dozens of other reasons, butt-sex just so happened to be rampant there and got a bad rep =) )</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> What would you like to say to other gay men who struggle with their sexuality and being a pious believer?</p>
<p><strong>Azariah:</strong> I would like to say, God desires and loves you unconditionally. He wants nothing more than you to reciprocate the love he is offering you. Youâ€™re not alone, and youâ€™re not abandoned. Know that itâ€™s ok, and yes, the rumor is true, you can be a Christian and be gay. : )</p>
<p><strong>Alex:</strong> Try telling that to our site&#8217;s overlord. His partner is a firm Christian believer, but Trey begs to differ&#8230;to say the least.</p>
<p>He also had this to say about the <strong>National Day of Silence</strong>:<br />
&#8220;This is something I hope most people will be able to participate in. Not only for the memory of Lawrence King, but the countless others who experience acts of hate everyday. This is a call for people to wake up. Hate is a time of the past, and we&#8217;re moving forward. Throw down your stones and grab the hand of another and lets walk together in silence for love.&#8221;</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve had a number of efforts to get a comment from the Network in question, but unfortunately we weren&#8217;t given the time of day -<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> then again with a tag-line of &#8220;Media Gossip at its Gayest,&#8221; it really isn&#8217;t all that surprising</span>. So there you have it folks, an all-around stand up guy =) Thank you so much Azariah for taking your time to do this interview. LOGO, FUSE, MTV&#8230; get this guy back on TV!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ethanjamesphotography.com/" title="Josh Andre by Ethan James 3"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2008/03/tc-ej-josh3.jpg" alt="Josh Andre by Ethan James 3" title="TREY CRUZ Presents Ethan James" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s been a long time coming. Today we would like to finally introduce to you a dear friend and (cute) photographer, <a href="http://ethanjamesphotography.com/" target="_blank">Ethan James</a>. We were first approached by Ethan way back in December and our editor, Trey, being the ditz he is kept forgetting to follow up. Umm, DUH! No contacts, no blog. :-) Three months later we are proud to present the first of a five-day series of Ethan&#8217;s diligent work. Opening up Ethan<strike>&#8217;s work</strike>this week is uber hottie Josh Andre, 23, of New Orleans, LA. What else can we say more editorially than &#8220;DAMN!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.popwired.com/2008/03/trey-cruz-presents-ethan-james/#more" title="Josh Andre by Ethan James 4"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2008/03/tc-ej-josh4.jpg" alt="Josh Andre by Ethan James 4" style="width: 224px; height: 330px" border="0" height="329" width="220" title="TREY CRUZ Presents Ethan James" /></a><a href="http://www.popwired.com/2008/03/trey-cruz-presents-ethan-james/#more" title="Josh Andre by Ethan James 2"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2008/03/tc-ej-josh2.jpg" alt="Josh Andre by Ethan James 2" style="width: 216px; height: 330px" border="0" height="508" width="224" title="TREY CRUZ Presents Ethan James" /></a><br />
Ethan James was born and raised in Southeast Texas and is currently based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We asked Ethan how does he find all these models and the humble photographer replies &#8220;A lot of them find me&#8230; through friends and word of mouth.&#8221; Currently in school at MTSU completing his PHD, Ethan tries to balance out his scholarly research with shooting.</p>
<p><a href="http://ethanjamesphotography.com/" title="Josh Andre by Ethan James 1"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2008/03/tc-ej-josh1.jpg" alt="Josh Andre by Ethan James 1" title="TREY CRUZ Presents Ethan James" /></a><br />
Here&#8217;s another tidbit that we found interesting. Ethan was also an editor-in-chief of the largest student-run newspaper in the country at Texas A&amp;M. No wonder we connect. Check after the jump for more photos of Josh courtesy of <a href="http://ethanjamesphotography.com/" target="_blank">Ethan James Photography</a> for TREY CRUZ. Don&#8217;t forget to keep checking back everyday for more photos by Ethan.</p>
<p>EDITORS NOTE: This post was written in the wee morning so there were tons of mistakes. Our apologies to Ethan for that. Updates include Ethan&#8217;s current school which is MTSU, not Texas A&amp;M and etc.</p>

<p><strong>Trey: Hey Mike, it&#8217;s so great to be talking to theÂ gays most wanted man :-) . Obviously your straight and that&#8217;s too bad&#8230; my readers want to know if you&#8217;ll ever bend? Be nice now!<br />
</strong>Michael: haha i dont think so. nothing against it, i just dont think its for me..i love women wayy too much.</p>
<p><strong>Trey: Damn that&#8217;s too bad. You know you&#8217;ll get twice the action if you go bisexual right? LOL. After that whole &#8220;scandal&#8221; has your reputation with the fire department, and your community in general change?</strong><br />
Michael: I see myself getting looks sometimes, but my family and firehouse have been very supportive. I don&#8217;t think many people think i did anything wrong. The firehouse is a tough place&#8230; but something like that! Come on, what are they going to say &#8220;wow you have a big dick&#8221; HAHAHA. No!</p>
<p><strong>Trey: You&#8217;re so clean shaven and that&#8217;s really hot. Do you shave often? Also, are you currently taken?</strong><br />
Michael: haha no i dont shave my legs or chest..im just pretty hairless&#8230;lucky i guess&#8230;i do shave my arms on occasions if you want to include that..i have a wonderful girlriend names danielle and our sex life is amazing.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/12/michael-biserta-interview-005.jpg" title="Intimate Encounters: Michael Biserta Interview" rel="lightbox[1543]"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/12/michael-biserta-interview-005.jpg" alt="Intimate Encounters: Michael Biserta Interview" title="Intimate Encounters: Michael Biserta" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Trey: Don&#8217;t spoil us with your straight sex life! Back to that hot video of you. Do you know who discovered you on that video and compared you to the calendar? What do you think of being outed (I mean&#8230; yea)?</strong><br />
Michael: I think his name was patric&#8230;i was pissed at first and threatened to sue&#8230;things turned out ok though and it ended up launching a modeling career&#8230;sort of&#8230;not yet&#8230;someday maybe lol&#8230;i actually wrote an email when everything blew over and thanked him. haha</p>
<p><strong>Trey: Wow, that&#8217;s nice of you. Do you have any gay friends?<br />
</strong>Michael: ummmm i think so&#8230;don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s out in the open yet but we&#8217;re all pretty sure of it&#8230;he&#8217;s a great kid though and i consider him a great friend.</p>
<p><strong>Trey: I really wish I had straight friends like that&#8230; well I do, they all just act weird when they undress in front of me. I always tell them I like staring at muscle, not flabs :-) Why did you allow, TREYCRUZ.COM, a predominantly gay site to interview you? Admit it, you love us right! :-)<br />
</strong>Michael: Because you did the right thing by helping me with my own calendar..and lets be realistic, as a male model you have to know that at least half of your fans will be gay, or bi..and mostly because of all the support i got thru email and myspace when i was going thru that hard time. Guys and girls&#8230; everyone was awesome and i appreciate everything.</p>
<p><strong>Trey: You recently did a new calendar with my friends from On Display Men. What was the experience like?<br />
</strong>Michael: it was exciting..that was the first time i did a real photo shoot.. besides the fdny calendar&#8230;i was in makeup and showering in front of people&#8230;.little awkward at first, but the people from ODM were very helpful considering i had no idea what i was doing.</p>

<p><strong>Trey:Â Out of curiosity who are youÂ represented by and what field of modeling do you hope to get into?</strong><br />
Michael: I&#8217;m currently presented by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ondisplaymen.com">On Display Men</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://rednyc.com">Red Model Management</a> of New York. Like I told you before I really want to get into underwear ads&#8230; mainly fashion type stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Trey: Do you have anything to say to my readers?</strong><br />
Michael: Hopefully you&#8217;ll see me soon in some underwear ads&#8230;that&#8217;s what i&#8217;m looking to get into..that&#8217;s my goal right now..i hope some more poeple pick up the ODM calendar and suppport me as a model. Again, thanks for everything Trey.</p>
<p><em>SPECIAL GUEST QUESTIONS FROM MARK</em></p>
<p><strong>Mark : In the video, I noticed that there were some things you were not<br />
willing to do (e.g. jump on the bed). You also said to the girls that<br />
they were &#8220;trouble&#8221; for you, as I sensed that you felt this was going<br />
a little too far. I inferred that you have a strong sense of right<br />
and wrong. Tell me, how has this experience matured you as a man?</strong><br />
Michael: I tried to make it not a joke as much as possible. I don&#8217;t like being goofy. I was going for sexy although that didn&#8217;t work out too well either. I don&#8217;t know that if it had matured me much. I&#8217;m a big kid and I plan on staying that way as long as I can.</p>
<p><strong>Mark: You are in a &#8220;hook and ladder&#8221; company. Can you tell me what that<br />
means? What is a typical day like as a firefighter?</strong><br />
Michael: It means that while the engine is stretching the hose are waitng to put the fire out. Me and the ladder or truck are going in first searching and forcing down doors and breaking windows.</p>

<p><strong>Trey:Â I would like to thank you so much for this incredibly enticing interview Mike. I wish you the very best of luck and hope you think about us when you get rich and famous. I do have one more question though. What do you wear to bed?</strong><br />
Michael: Boxer briefs&#8230; I have to be cool when I sleep</p>

<p>We finally had the chance to catch up with theÂ sexy Andre Bolouchi for an exclusive interview and found out he is asÂ straight as a pencil :-) To catch you up, Andre was recently featured on <a href="http://www.popwired.com/2007/08/mens-grooming-with-dna/">DNA Magazine #91</a>Â exposing his goodies in a speedo which quickly spread around the blogosphere. About a month ago I ran into Andre&#8217;s blog and saw all these pictures of monks. This guy is more asian than me! After leaving a comment I was surprise to see an email the next day from Andre.</p>
<p>+ <a href="http://www.popwired.com/category/intimate-encounters/">Trey&#8217;s Intimate Encounters</a><br />
+ <a target="_blank" href="http://www.launchpad.typepad.com">Andre Bolourchi&#8217;s Blog</a></p>
<p><strong>Q: Andre it was a great pleasure meeting you. So where are you from from?</strong><br />
A: I&#8217;m a southern California native.</p>
<p><strong>Q: I guess that explains the sexy looks :-) So how old are you right now? And, I&#8217;m sure my readers are dying to find out&#8230; are you single, or taken? Boxers or briefs?</strong><br />
A: I am 24 years old, single, and usually wear boxer briefs.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre06.jpg" title="Andre Bolourchi" rel="lightbox[1131]"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre06.jpg" alt="Andre Bolourchi" title="Intimate Encounters: Andre Bolourchi" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-1131"></span><br />
<strong>Q: So you told me you&#8217;re straight. I can hear all my readers whine and moan right now. Why did youÂ turn out straight?</strong><br />
A: Ha! Something must have gone terribly wrong when I was a child. :-p</p>
<p><strong>Q: Ok since you&#8217;re straight and all that&#8230; how exactly did you end up on a gay magazine?</strong><br />
A: Before this shoot I was working as Lewis Payton&#8217;s photography assistant. He asked me if I was interested in being on the cover of DNA, and of course, I said, &#8220;sign me up!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Nice. I&#8217;ve heard of models turn photographer, but this is the first time I heard it twisted around. I&#8217;m sure you can stillÂ make us smile! Speaking of gays, do any of your friends find it weird that youâ€™re the gay icon of the moment?</strong><br />
A: I think my friends find me weird in general. Seriously though, all of my friends have been very supportive. I have many gay friends!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre03.jpg" title="Andre Bolourchi" rel="lightbox[1131]"><img width="213" src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre03.jpg" alt="Andre Bolourchi" style="width: 213px" title="Andre Bolourchi" /></a><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre01.jpg" title="Andre Bolourchi" rel="lightbox[1131]"><img width="213" src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre01.jpg" alt="Andre Bolourchi" style="width: 213px" title="Andre Bolourchi" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Q: So&#8230; you&#8217;re a hot photographer&#8217;s assistant/model&#8230; what other aspirations do you have? Whoâ€™s the biggest role model in your life?</strong><br />
A: There are a number of projects I&#8217;m working on right now. As of late, I&#8217;ve put a lot of energy into my blog (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.launchpad.typepad.com">www.launchpad.typepad.com</a>). It is always developing and taking new form. Be it acting, photography, writing, music (I play the piano)- I&#8217;m drawn to anything creative. Throughout university I pushed a lot of creativity aside and focused on homework assignments and deadlines. But now that I&#8217;ve graduated, I feel like I have the freedom to pursue these things.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Andre, Iâ€™m slowly beginning to learn through your blog, asides from being a total hottie (whoa, first time saying that to a straight guy), you got a sensitive and insightful person in you. Can you tell me anything about your childhood that may have led up to that?</strong><br />
A: I think a lot of it has to with the fact that both of my parents are very artistic. They fostered an environment at home where I could channel a lot of expression through the arts. Also, growing up I was a part of the Persian culture (my father&#8217;s family is Iranian). Experiencing things that most Americans would consider &#8220;foreign&#8221; changed a lot of my perspectives on what was &#8220;normal&#8221;. But I think the largest influences have come through travelling. When you&#8217;re on the road, you&#8217;ve got to be very aware considerate of different customs, people, language, etc. Seeing beyond these differences and then uncovering that shared humanity takes away a lot fears and prejudices that keep us closed and separated from each another. I look to a number of people for role models. To name them all would be quite a long list. Lewis Payton has really been instrumental for me. The path he&#8217;s walked in life has inspired me to believe in my own dreams and to follow them through. He&#8217;s helped me to reconnect to my creativity. I also look to modern-day celebrities such as Bono and Oprah who use their status in a positive way to impact global change.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre1_2.jpg" title="Andre Bolourchi" rel="lightbox[1131]"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre1_2.jpg" alt="Andre Bolourchi" title="Intimate Encounters: Andre Bolourchi" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Q: A man with a cause&#8230; That&#8217;s exactly why I&#8217;m with my boyfriend. We both have that &#8220;I want to change the world&#8221; attitude. I really admire that in you Andre. You have monks on your pageâ€¦ Iâ€™m asian so iâ€™m going to be totally embarrassed if you know more about Buddhism than I do (which is squat). You donâ€™tâ€¦. right???</strong><br />
A: I&#8217;m pretty solid on the basics of Buddhism. I was fascinated by the monks wherever I was in Thailand. I had to photograph them! They all seemed so warm and peaceful. But that all vanished when we played ping pong. I didn&#8217;t have a chance of winning. It was brutal!</p>
<p><strong>Q: Iâ€™m pretty sure youâ€™ve been told this many times and Iâ€™m just going to reassure you again. Great Body! How often do you work out? Whatâ€™s your training tip for me?</strong><br />
A: Thanks. I think the best bit of advice that I have learned is how important your diet is. It&#8217;s essential. You just want to make sure that the foods you put into you are good for you. Otherwise, working out and then eating unhealthy is utterly counterproductive. I like to do something physical almost everyday. It doesn&#8217;t have to be gym-related, but it should always involve some cardio for at least thirty minutes.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre_dnasign01.jpg" title="Andre Bolourchi" rel="lightbox[1131]"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andre_dnasign01.jpg" alt="Andre Bolourchi" title="Intimate Encounters: Andre Bolourchi" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Q: You said during a pre-questioning that you were straight, but &#8220;narrow&#8221;. Call me dumb if you want, but what in the world does that mean?</strong><br />
A: What I meant was, &#8220;straight, but NOT narrow&#8221;. As in, I&#8217;m straight, but I respect others&#8217; sexual orientation.</p>
<p><strong>Q: And Andre, if you don&#8217;t mind&#8230;Â the question the whole gay world has been waiting for (drum rolls)â€¦ what does a guy as hot asÂ you wear to bed?</strong><br />
A: Sheets.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andres_thai_pics_lew_assisted_196.jpg" title="Andre Bolourchi" rel="lightbox[1131]"><img src="http://www.popwired.com/images/2007/09/andres_thai_pics_lew_assisted_196.jpg" alt="Andre Bolourchi" title="Intimate Encounters: Andre Bolourchi" /></a></p>
<p>:-) That&#8217;s hot. Andre thanks for taking the time to do this interview and it has been a great pleasure talking to you. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully see you in a movie or something! And to all our readers&#8230; Andre is releasing limitedÂ autograph editions of DNA #91.

<p>Meet 23 year old Adam Bouska from West Hollywood. Monsieur sexy here isÂ part of the &#8220;model turns photographer&#8221; phenomenon.Â Adam has been shooting nowÂ forÂ aboutÂ 3 years&#8230; I recently foundÂ him on MySpace and decided to message him on getting an interview after seeing hundreds of his wonderful creations (and pics of him). Three minutes later he messaged me back and granted the interview with big hugs and smiles. Adam Bouska is a total sweetheart (as expected). He&#8217;s pictured above in the middle. You see?&#8230; the guy with the hot tongue? :-p Check out exclusive previews of his latest photoshootÂ only on treycruz.com after the jump.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Adam I love your last name. Where are you from?</strong><br />
A: I was born and raised in central, Illinois but my last name originates in Czechoslovakia.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What was it like growing up as a child? Did you have any artistic influences?</strong><br />
A: Growing up I had always been surrounded by art whether it be painting, music, photography, and movies. When I was young I would spend my time painting murals on my walls which continued onto my ceilings. My mother actually suggested to me at an early age to try art and further my talent with classes but the idea of classes turned me off, and I would spend days on end sketching.</p>

<p><strong>Q: I read somewhere that you use to be a model. Can you tell me a little more about that?<br />
</strong>A: Modeling was never a huge aspiration of mine.Â  While living in Chicago I had a friend whom was a photographer who asked me to pose for him.Â  I was reluctant at first, but ended up giving in and loving being a part of it.Â  We ended up shooting again, and againÂ I was amazed to see the whole process.Â  I got a few paid jobs, enough to save up and purchase my first camera :-)</p>
<p><strong>Q: What got you into photography?</strong><br />
A: My desire to photograph came from my dissatisfaction (with love)Â from other photographers. It never seemed like they shared the same vision as I did, so I was confident I could do something more.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What type of photography inspires you most?&#8230; fashion, nature, etc&#8230;</strong><br />
A: Fashion. Constantly changing, fast paced industry, and creative limits seem endless.</p>

<p><strong>Q: What is your favorite photograph that you have captured of yourself?</strong><br />
A: Of myself? Eek. My classic myspace photo was fun. Yeah, that oneâ€¦ [<a target="_blank" href="http://myspace.com/bouska">myspace</a>]</p>
<p><strong>Q: Do you admire any other photographers?</strong><br />
A: I admire them all honestly. Itâ€™s not easy turning it into a profession. It can be rough at first, but well worth it in the end. So any photographer pursuing it, understanding the long days, traveling, deadlines and such, all to capture the shot; I admire that greatly.</p>
<p><strong>Q: And one lastÂ question Adam. Your hot and young and i&#8217;m pretty sure many of my readers would like to know. What do you wear to sleep? And if you could hit on any one of themâ€¦ using a cheesy photographer lineâ€¦ what would it be?</strong><br />
A: What do I wear to sleep? Nothing. Clothes are confining. After living in Palm Springs, I didnâ€™t really have much of a choice there. Lol<br />
Cheesy photographer lineâ€¦hmmâ€¦ â€œLets shoot sometimeâ€¦and take photos tooâ€?</p>
<p>LOL wow Adam. I have to admit I was a little impressed with the cheesy photographer line.Â Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview and I wish you the best of luck, even though you don&#8217;t need any, with all your future projects.Â AndÂ I hope to hear from you in the near future and keep all my readers and IÂ posted. Take care!Â </p>

<p><span id="more-466"></span></p>
<p>Sports Out Loud Magazine was in Dallas this weekend so I stopped by to pay them a visit. The three founding fathers of the magazine (Eric, Phill, and Dave) was there along with the sexy models of the magazine. Oh by the way, #1 tip for having a good interview, know the name of the subject you&#8217;re talking about. :-) I said the name of the magazine incorrectly. Oopsy.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Can you tell me what Sports Out Loud is about?</strong><br />
A: (Phill) We try to represent an entire spectrum of the gay community and present a healthier alternative. Inititially we are more of a sports illustrated magazineâ€¦ weâ€™re not really into the beef cake. We show the regular guys, athletes, and people you know, people that goes to the gym next to you.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Whoâ€™s bright idea was it to start the magazine?<br />
</strong>A: (Eric) We should all raise our hands!</p>
<p><strong>Q: Phill said the magazine wasn&#8217;t so about beef cakes. It&#8217;s a sports magazine, without the beefcake what direction is the magazine going to go?</strong><br />
A: (Eric) Well personally Iâ€™m into beefcake but heyâ€¦ (all laughs)<br />
A: (Phill) Donâ€™t get me wrong, weâ€™re all into beef cakes. There are magazines out there for the general population that shows men that are finely tuned, theyâ€™re models, but our magazine, we really go for the everyday guys. People that actually matters.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Have you heard the lastest criticisms toward your magazine?</strong><br />
A: (Eric) Our models does have a belly button! (lol) Itâ€™s definitely a growing experience and it always will be. In 10 years weâ€™ll be saying â€œwhat do you think?â€? because we want to make it [Sports Out Loud Magazine] for people who wants to read it and enjoy it.<br />
A: (Phill) You know we are a new magazine and we expect a lot of people to have opinions and weâ€™re good at taking that. We want feed back.<br />
A: (Dave) We know our magazine isnâ€™t going to appeal to everyone, thereâ€™s always going to be some people who doesnâ€™t like something.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Last questionâ€¦ is there anything you want to say to your readers?</strong><br />
A: (Eric) We canâ€™t do this without your helpâ€¦ please email stories, pictures, ideas, commentsâ€¦ this is really your magazine too.<br />
A: (Phill) Our tagline on our cover says two thingsâ€¦ it says weâ€™re â€œThe best gay sports magazine in the worldâ€?, and we will be world wide. The other thing it says is â€œSports. News. Nowâ€? and thatâ€™s what weâ€™re really all about. Itâ€™s about sports, itâ€™s about news, itâ€™s about everything now.<br />
A: (Dave) And remember itâ€™s also about real people. Theyâ€™re not models, theyâ€™re actual real people like you and me.</p>
<p>[Off the record]<br />
Trey: Well guys thanks a lot of taking the time to have this interview.<br />
Eric: No problem. Hey Trey, are you a journalism student?<br />
Trey : *trying to turn off recorder and drops note pad and pen* Totally embarassed. :-)</p>
<p>Eric, Phill, and Dave were really awesome. They got a great vision for the magazine and they are quickly taking it there. Dave has a sexyÂ Scottish accent everyone!Â Best of luck to you guys! FYI readers: Sports Out Loud magazine may have a &#8220;fashion in sports&#8221; feature soon! You know what that means&#8230; everyday cuties in speedos, and maybe that football stuff. Yummm&#8230;. and despite the non-beef cake stuff, there was still plenty of full page pics of very nicely built &#8220;every day&#8221; guys. Keep checking out TreyCruz.com for everything Sports Out Loud.</p>
