Ryan Reynolds comes out on top in fab's gay sex survey

Hunky Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds is the celebrity with whom fab readers most want to get it on, according to the magazine's gay sex survey.

No big surprise there. Homegrown Reynolds is smokin' hot, and thankfully, he likes to show it off, as he did in The Proposal

Perhaps more surprising is the mixed verdict on Brad Pitt. Many readers chose Pitt as their fave and least fave celebrity dream fuck. fab blames Pitt's "new hobo beard." 

More survey result highlights from fab:

  • Ninety percent of respondents think of themselves as "gay," but only two percent consider themselves to be "LGBTTIQQ2SA." That unwieldy acronym is less popular – by more than half – than the word "faggot."
  • Sixty-two percent of respondents report having "average" sized penises and 79 percent say they're happy with what they're packing, but 41 percent say the "average" cock is six inches long and that the "perfect" cock is eight.
  • Thirty percent of respondents say the face is the most attractive part of a man's body. Twenty-one percent are interested only in what's in his pants.

Check out the full results over at fabmagazine.com, including informative charts such as this one!

fabTV videgrapher Ryan Carter, along with his panel of sexperts, take a look at the survey results. Watch below:

Let it all hang out!

As the great Morrissey once sang:

"Shyness is nice / but shyness can stop you / from doing all the things in life you'd like to."

How shy are you?  See where you fall on the following scale:

-- PATHOLOGICALLY SHY

Latin pop singer Ricky Martin, telling a gossip magazine "his heart could belong to a male or female."  Oh Ricky.  We still love you after all these coy, sexually-ambiguous years but seriously -- this is either the most protracted coming-out or the longest cock-tease in all of history.  Enough already!

-- VERY SHY

In a sad case of "pot, kettle," Barack Obama's timid support for the gay community has him getting schooled by the creator of "Will & Grace!"  Obama is so empty right now that, during a discussion of his policies on CNN, my mind kept wandering to thoughts of Dustin Lance Black getting barebacked by Anderson Cooper on the desk (is it just me?):

-- RATHER COY

An online ad for thongs that lets you "undress" the model.  When will these underwear companies just drop the pretense and start making porn?

-- UNDERSTATED

Cher, responding to questions about her daughter's decision to transition and become a man: "Although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding. The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child."  That's so lovely, I cried on behalf of Cher, since she no longer has tear ducts.

-- ASSERTIVE

Me, reminding you of the fundraising party for the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation at the Beaver tonight.  Shameless, perhaps, but for a good cause!  Besides, it's not as though I made a plug for my own fundraising efforts yet again, right?

-- QUITE CHEEKY

Canada's own Ryan Reynolds -- the only man I'd leave Paul Rudd for -- isn't just frequently naked (though we'd love him just for that), he's also willing to be very silly, as in his 'Entertainment Weekly' cover shoot:

-- BOLD!

It's one thing to do a nude scene in a movie but how about on the subway?  While I'm not convinced the "half-outfit" truly is "sweeping through Asia," it's still fun to imagine zany pranksters going out like this:



-- UTTERLY SHAMELESS

Roland Emmerich, gay director of disaster epics "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow," finally throws any last shred of sanity or artistic integrity out the window with his end-of-the-world opus "2012."  This guy's movies are crap but we just keep lining up because dammit, no one does ludicrous spectacle better than this:

So remember, "fortune favours the bold" and have a great weekend!

I just love your new outfit

Man, I wander off for one day and look what I miss!

Carrie Prejean is finally fired for spending more time being Miss Anti-Gay instead of Miss California (but now free to choose between same unemployment and opposite unemployment), while American Idol's Adam Lambert comes out on the cover of Rolling Stone (not as gay -- we all knew that already -- but as an ophiophile)!

Lambert's not the only one making questionable fashion choices, however -- check out the fetching ensemble that got this man arrested:

That's right -- this man is going to jail because he makes people feel uncomfortable!  If that were, you know, actual law, Pat Roberton should be on death row for creeping us all out with his latest theory on homosexuality:

For the record, my big gay self went to a Catholic school, where I was beaten by nuns, yet I developed no attraction to lesbian penguins.  So while Robertson gets fitted for a straight jacket, Dan Savage explains why his views are so offensive...to Christians.

While we're talking jailhouse fashion, check out this first photo of Mickey Rourke as the Russian mafia bad guy Whiplash in next summer's 'Iron Man 2' -- will he fight Robert Downey Jr. or invite him along to a fetish party?

Other guy dressing in something he's totally unsuited for?  Umm....me.  I've been squeezing myself into spandex for next month's Friends for Life Bike Rally. I and, more importantly, the Toronto PWA Foundation could really use your help.  After all, look at what I'm going through!

But the best change of clothes is no clothes, like in this French TV ad bringing back everyone's favourite naked pole vaulter:

And of course, Ryan Reynolds, who -- in a naked attempt to bring you back -- I'll talk about tomorrow!

Till then, however, I'll be wearing black to mark the passing of Rick Bébout, one of Toronto's finest gay journalists and historians. Gerald Hannon will be writing a remembrance for Xtra and here's a terrific interview he did with Bébout about his queer philosophy:

You got schooled!

It's been a day of higher education as Ellen Degeneres addressed a graduating class, letting them know that they're all gay:

But our eyes were cast over to the U.S. Naval Academy, as students greased themselves up for the annual tradition of climbing a 21-foot-high pole:

And our favourite huffy newsman Keith Olbermann schooled Republican head Michael Steele for his ridiculous insistence that gay marriage will ruin the economy:

But it's not just the right-wingers getting schooled -- our favourite sexy newsman Anderson Cooper's sending Barack Obama to detention over his failures on gay rights:

Want to educate yourself on the upcoming and always infamous San Francisco Folsom Fair?  Outraged conservative site World Net Daily has all the saucy details -- because that makes sense.

And finally, the most valuable lesson of all -- one learned painfully by Ryan Reynolds on the set of his new movie:  don't fuck with Betty White:

This blog post is rated X

Line of the week so far?  Jon Stewart on right-wing homophobes:  "This isn’t a cultural divide: They’re wrong."

And in a perfect segue, the "Traditional Values Coalition" is screaming mad over attempts to end the US ban on gay people serving in the military (Really?  I thought bigger armies was a traditional American value).  In typical wingnut style, they go completely foaming at the mouth:

In addition to the coming persecution of straight soldiers, what about the unrestrained drug and sex antics committed by young male homosexuals? Homosexual sex is consistently related to drug use, including crystal meth and other sexually-stimulating drugs. What sort of chaos will be caused in the military by bare-backing parties and other forms of homosexual orgies?

Sigh -- if only! But before you start thinking that TVC head Lou Sheldon and his merry band of mouth-breathers are completely insane, it's only fair to point out that they were watching what they thought was a documentary: 

Years ago, the US ratings board created an 'NC-17' rating to help protect saucy art films from being labelled as porn. Sadly, it didn't work -- NC-17 movies are shunned in many states anyway.  Such is the fate that awaits "Bruno," Sacha Baron Cohen's first film since "Borat" -- apparently, there's too much anal sex in it. We'll see for ourselves in July!

Next month's "Wolverine" film starring Hugh Jackman is sadly not rated NC-17 -- dashing any hopes I might have had after seeing this new shot of Ryan Reynolds as the insane mercenary Deadpool:



And hey, while we're passing out the eye-candy, haaaaaaave you met model Stefan Podany?



And finally, Toronto's own James Collins and "Shortbus" singer Jay Brannan both asked very nicely that we all post their new videos on our blogs and who could say no to such lovelies?
