Olympian stud Matthew Mitcham, 21, finally landed a sponsorship, according to his appearance last Monday on Sydney’s ‘The Morning Show.’ Mitcham, an openly gay athlete, discussed his success in Beijing, his future plans and his experiences as a gay sports person including being part of the 2009 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Did you know that Mitcham almost considered not going to China for the Olympics due to fear of his safety? His legal advisor, however, advised him that as long as he’s not waving the rainbow flag around, he should be fine.

Yo, Beckham, what happened to the Armani lump? This pic was taken last week when David played for AC Milan against Werder Brema at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Looks like he caught the attention of his team mate too ;)

Spanish soccer players from el Galáctico Pegaso found a more creative way to display their angst over not being paid — something that appears in my dream many of times. Instead of griping and refusing to perform on the field the men instead lined up during the game and drop their shorts, most of them to their ankles, in protest.

According to Ohlala, their action was called “con el culo al aire.” I’m not quite sure what statement it made asides from giving me a new fantasy with guy number 5, 6, and 7 plus the dude at the far right.

Unlike most of the butch lesbians and ‘real’ straight men in the United States, I wasn’t watching the Superbowl. I was fixated to Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl! It was sooo cute!

Anywho, I apparently missed out on something huge — literally — on Santonio Holmes. If you thought the wide receiver’s deciding play that won the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers will go down in the history book, just wait till you see his wide-giving bratwurst. [OMGBlog - NSFW]

If watching buff marines dancing around in tight shirts didn’t excite you enough, this surely will. Cristiano Ronaldo is shirtless, again.

Manchester United soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his hometown in Portugal  and spent the second day of the new year running around shirtless, jumping into an outdoor pool and chilling at the poolside with his agent Jorge Mendes.

Mendes, you are one lucky bitch! More after the jump.

“A video showing football stars speaking out against homophobia will be released next year as part of an unprecedented drive by the sport’s governing bodies to tackle a sharp rise in abuse and discrimination,” The Guardian reports.

The UK Football Association has set aside a budget of $20,000 euros, which is $28,226.31 USD, and hopes that an advertising firm will help pick up the cause at a minimal rate.

“We’re delighted that the FA has decided to produce and fund the video, it will have a hugely positive impact on young people and help to challenge bigoted attitudes among fans,” Tatchell said.

The FA hopes that up to a dozen players including David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, David James, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and Cristiano Ronaldo, will be “persuaded” to take part.

The calendar is again shot by photographer Pedro Virgil against the backdrop of some breathtaking Australian settings… the calendar is easily one of Virgil’s most provocative calendar yet. The apparent star of the calendar is Nick Youngquest who has been picking up some heat as the cover boy of this years calendar, who also appeared recently on the cover of DNA magazine.

In the world of shameless celebrities who can only talk about themselves and create stupid shows like “50 Cent: The Money and the Power” and Paris Hilton’s “My New BFF”, in come Cowboys’ Tony Romo who is creating a rather nice reputation for himself. His first good samaritan act was when he changed a couple’s tires the night of the Cowboys’ season opener. Today, Romo treated a homeless man to the movies.

From the Dallas Morning News

“Romo, who confirmed the story but didn’t want to elaborate, waved Doc over to sit by him and his friend. Doc sheepishly mentioned that he hadn’t showered in a few days.

“Don’t worry about that,” Romo said. “I’m used to locker rooms.”

Alas, we have some humanity in this strange place we call the U.S.

I just received a tip on my cell phone from Brian Tran. It’s rumored that singer Faith Hill will open the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving show with the National Anthem. It is also confirmed that the Jonas Brother will perform the halftime show.

This tip comes after a women was bragging to someone in a doctor’s office about her cheerleading daughter performing alongside the Jonas Brothers.
