Between the Neverland Ranch, Bubbles the chimp, and his inexplicable admission that he enjoys having children sleep in his bed, the King of Pop was undeniably queer. But gay? Yes, yes... we know that there've already been questions about his alleged drug addiction and botched autopsy, but you can bet there'll be many more rumors and stories swirling around before the King's funeral.

An article from The Daily Mail suggests that Michael not only had a prescient sense of his death but also was sleeping with a male construction worker, cross-dressing for trysts in sleazy Las Vegas motels, and taking pictures:

It is clear to me that Michael was homosexual and that his taste was for young men, albeit not as young as Jordan Chandler or Gavin Arvizo [the children Jackson was accused of molesting].

In the course of my investigations, I spoke to two of his gay lovers, one a Hollywood waiter, the other an aspiring actor. The waiter had remained friends, perhaps more, with the singer until his death last week. He had served Jackson at a restaurant, Jackson made his interest plain and the two slept together the following night. According to the waiter, Jackson fell in love.

The actor, who has been given solid but uninspiring film parts, saw Jackson in the middle of 2007. He told me they had spent nearly every night together during their affair - an easy claim to make, you might think. But this lover produced corroboration in the form of photographs of the two of them together, and a witness.

Other witnesses speak of strings of young men visiting his house at all hours, even in the period of his decline. Some stayed overnight.

When Jackson lived in Las Vegas, one of his closest aides told how he would sneak off to a 'grungy, rat-infested' motel—often dressed as a woman to disguise his identity—to meet a male construction worker he had fallen in love with.

Keep in mind, we mean no disrespect—we love Michael Jackson! He's a phenomenal artist whose uncompromising vision has irrevocably effected art, culture, and life in general the world over. His art's undoubtedly more important than his sexuality. But we're curious about this photographic evidence. Will gay pics of the moonwalker emerge in the coming days?

And for those still depressed about his death, maybe this should make you smile: he's gonna be plastinated with his chimp, Bubbles, and the two will spend the rest of their lives together in plastinated paradise! Michael and Bubbles—2GETHER 4EVER!!

Between his awesome interview about racism and porn in MOC blog and the above video mourning the death of Michael Jackson, self-acclaimed "King of Kink," Wolf Hudson has revealed himself to be a quite an articulate and sensitive guy. Hell, Jackson's death even shut Diesel Washington up, and that guy never shuts up.

For those also mourning the King of Pop, Queerty posted a small collection of quotes from other gay pop icons about his death and the well-hung gay folk-singer and Margaret Cho groupie, Jay Brannan made a small video saluting Jackson's Man In The Mirror. You can see Brannan's video as well as video of Hudson dancing naked to a Jackson song, after the jump!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled porn to bring you an American political scandal! There's an irresponsible bigited hypocrite who just took a giant dump on his family, state, and career. Meet the GOP 2012 Presidential hopeful, Governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford. A former Eagle Scout who recently went missing for six days without telling anyone his whereabouts (timeline).

His aides thought he might be hiking the Appalachian Trail, but he was in fact (ta-dah!) cheating on his wife—the woman who helped launch his political career and gave birth to his four children—with a corporate businesswoman in Argentina! Over Father's Day even (sorry, boys)! The State broke the story and even shared the steamy e-mail exchanges between Sanford and his spicy South American mistress. They're quite romantic... no, really.

First, from Sanford:

Dearest, You are glorious and I hope you really understand that. You do not need a therapist to help you figure your place in the world. You are special and unique and fabulous in a whole host of ways that are worth a much longer conversation. To be continued ...

Then from Maria:

My beloved, (hope you also change the dearest ...)

I'am (sic) reading your last two mails sitting outside with a great seaview here in Ilhabela, a beautiful island near Sao Paulo. Have been thinking of you while watching the beautiful blue sea (a) great part of my day and remembering with a great smile on my face, the time we had spent together. As I told you before, you brought happiness and love to my life and (I) will take you forever in my heart. I wasn't aware till we met last week, the strong feelings I had for you, and believe me, I haven't felt this since I was in my teen ages, when afterwards I got married. I do love you, I can feel it in my heart, and although I don't know if we'll ever be able to meet again this has been the best that has happened to me in a long time You made me realized (sic) how you feel when you realy (sic) love somebody and how much you want to be beside the beloved. Last Friday I would had stayed embrassing (sic) and kissing you forever...

Sooprise, sooprise. Looks like gossip rag, TV Aqui trumped up Ricky Martin's alleged bisexuality just to create buzz (pot-kettle black?). If you remember, last week we ran TV Aqui's cover reporting that the Latin man-candy "accepts that his heart could belong to a male or female." Looks like that conclusion was milked out of a bone dry response basically telling the interviewer that he wouldn't talk about his sexuality.

Well, the Bisexuality Examiner of examiner.com, Mike Szymanski (yes, quite a stupid job title) chatted with the TV Aqui interviewer Saudy Rivera this weekend and asked her if Ricky used the B-word:

"No, he didn't say that," she replied to me. "What he said was: "The heart of Ricky Martin... if it belong to a male or a female... I have never talked about it." Her question was: "To whom does Ricky Martin's heart belong?"

We're not shocked. But adding to the lameness is that the same magazine also ran a poll asking what readers thought of Ricky Martin's alleged bisexuality and one of the options was "He's All Man."

Now we don't wanna get all butt-sore about a dumb celebrity poll, but even if Ricky Martin was the biggest ass-queen of all time it shouldn't make him any less of a man. In fact, after seeing some power bottoms swallow parking cones, entire fists, and cinderblocks with their anuses, we consider their asses a million times more manly than ours (our asses are lined with pink silk roses).

After that, we wondered just what the hell else a "bisexuality examiner" examines and found this weird list of headlines:

Cockroaches make great bisexual dads

Bi penguin couple become parents at German zoo

Ted Casablanca talks bisexual shenanigans among 'Twilight' cast

New book calls Paul Newman a bi guy, confirming secret affair with James Dean

We know bisexuals get a bad rap as dirty hippies who'll sleep with anything, androgynous glam rockers, timid celebs who still want mass appeal, and self-promoters who see bisexuality as a stylish marketing angle. But maybe the world of bisexuality's crazier than we thought. Of course, if you want any of that here, it's QCX for you.

What's with all the celebrity sex pics and reality star peen going around these days? Between Dustin Lance Black's barebacking tape, Chris Kummer's Playgirl JO video, and Shawn Southern's skanky cockpics we've seen more of these stars in the last week than we have their entire career.

Well, add Dorion Stanberry to that illustrious list. He starred in BET's College Hill Atlanta as himself, a student living with seven others enrolled in local schools. He'd also done several fashion shoots for several big name labels. A hardworking student on a family-friendly show, a successful model making a name for himself. A fine, upstanding young man, yes? Well now he's the web's latest cockpic casualty because of a vindictive hacker. And what a great cock it is! Wow. Ahem... Tabloid Prodigy has the story:

Dorion Standberry from BET reality show College Hill had his Twitter account hacked by a scorned gay lover today, and this pissed off Robin Hood of sorts not only posted naked images of Dorion, but he also published a laundry list of celebrity phone numbers, including Solange Knowles, Christina Milian and Tyson Beckford.

"a disgruntled hacker took to his Twitter page to accuse Dorion of inflecting him with an STD and also claimed that Dorion had a sexual encounter with hot-bodied football star Terrell Owens. He took things even further and posted addresses and phone numbers of more than 15 celebrities Dorion had stored in his e-mail account, and wrote "mmmm what dumbass keeps his contact numbers connected to his email." And for good measure he added "lolololol!!!!!" Dorion's BlackBerry is linked to his e-mail account, making phone numbers and addresses easily accessible to any hackers."

Keep in mind, beyond the hateful tweets, Tabloid Prodigy apparently has no evidence that a gay lover's actually involved. But we did a little digging and found some curious links associated with the scandal. For one, there's Dorion's real Twitter page and then one set up by an impostor bragging about his big dick pics. Is this impostor the alleged hacker? On Dorion's MySpace page he says that someone stole his phone, which is at odds with the "vindictive hacker" story. Lastly, on his Model Mayhem page, one of his top friends is Keyontyli Goffney, one half of the infamous gay porn cat burglars who recently pulled off a northeastern crime spree! We're not claiming guilt by association, but be careful of the company you keep, D!

Dorion recently spoke about the scandal on an Atlanta radio station. He admitted taking the pics but denied being gay. You can hear how stressed out he feels. And that the DJ keeps joking about it and calling him gay doesn't help. Though Dorion does get a bit touchy when the question's raised. He may not have been, but all the attention and admirers that've come out because of his huge cock may make him reconsider.

This fall, porn mogul Michael Lucas will work with his ugliest model yet... Ugly Betty. While attending a Stonewall Foundation Dinner at the UN, Lucas saw Oscar-winning barebacker Dustin Lance Black deliver a speech about gay folk's complacency in the fight for civil rights. Afterwards, the bidding war began for a walk on role in the ABC family show, Ugly Betty. Lucas ended up winning when his boyfriend helped him nudge the final bid up to $18,000.

Lucas says he wanted to donate the money anyway, but that he also had an ulterior motive:

"I also saw a chance to shake up television a bit: the first porn star cameo ever on a family program. Let's not confuse gay-friendly networks with porn-friendly networks. The main channels are extremely pornophobic. The question posed to my industry is always the same: Will the porn industry and its members ever be accepted by the mainstream? And the usual answer is: not in the next fifty years. Porn stars are very much in demand but the media still like to see us kept in our box. So I saw an opportunity here to speed up the progression."

For anyone who doesn't know, Ugly Betty is a show about a plain looking girl trying to make it at an NYC fashion mag. But as you know, Lucas probably has little interest in helping ugly straight women, and is more likely shrewd enough to either get invited back as a recurring character (maybe a fashion villain like Mugatu) or somehow hijack the family show into a subplot involving forced blowjobs. Sounds good to us, but what's it to Lucas?

"How will ABC deal with a porn star on one of its prime time programs? I am curious to see how this will play out. Now, I am not suggesting that my little walk-on will change the world. But I hope it will be one step taking us out of the privacy of people's bedrooms and onto a larger stage. And I hope the American public will enjoy seeing a porn star as a real person, not just as a hot body."

We're betting that most of the Midwestern viewers aged 35 and above won't know he's a "porn star." A good percentage of them will probably think his accent and bad English are part of a comedic Russian caricature, like Boris and Natasha. We're actually hoping the cameo happens in his usual dramatic style, but Lucas told XBIZ that he expects to learn within a few days whether his erotic career will prevent him from appearing on the show at all.

We've got something to admit. Did you ever watch, VH1's reality show, Daisy of Love? We actually really, really liked it. And the most beautiful man on that show was our dream guardian, Chris "6 Gauge" Kummer. Kummer came riding into our hearts with his "insane" "in-your-faceness" that is the "6 guage" style. We always wished he got naked more often on the show, maybe... y'know... rocked out with his cock out a little more? Like 20% more.

He was once a stripper, y'know? No joke. And he also has a pierced cock and did a JO vid for Playgirl where he stuck his cock in a tube or something.... oh yeah. Totally hawt. IN-SANE! And my emo-stars also said he's also a rock-star. TOTAL ROCK STARRRRR!!!!!! Like 3 Doors Down BIG. Don't believe me? Check out his band's MySpage*. (MySpage is a word, it means MySpace page) His music has changed worlds and minds. For real. I bet you haven't even ever dreamed of doing that; not even in your most insane rockstar dreamz.

Tabloid Prodigy had the metallic balls to carry a second-hand interview from this INTERGALACTIC ROCK-GOD SUPERSONGSTER!!! talking about his totally taboo strip career.

I don't spend time with my clients outside the club in a sexual manner or for sexual favors. If I might go shopping because I need a new outfit, or I need a new car or a new cell phone, if they want to buy me dinner or give me a couple hundred bucks or they want to take me to a public outing and give me money for it, fine. But there's nothing sexual, period. These chicks are just fat, they're looking for attention, whatever the case may be. They're wanting that emotion, but guys just want that one b***j***. They're like, "Give me five minutes of your time." They'll give you $300 or $400 bucks, and they're out the door.

VH1: Sex or no sex, it does seem like what you're saying is there is a fine line between male strippers and escorts, right?

Yes.

How did you get into stripping?

It was a flat-out dare. My buddy was stripping and he was like 'Man, just give it a try.' And I gave it a try and I went from making $600-700 a week bartending to making $2,500 a week. And I don't have a six pack or a two pack or a four pack. It was all about personality and having fun and I'm all about entertaining. I enjoy entertaining because I'm a singer in a band and I love to entertain and I love to keep people smiling.

Do you go totally nude when you strip?

No, no I don't go totally nude. But I have been in Playgirl.

When was that?

2008. I was actually supposed to be on the cover and I think the magazine actually went bankrupt, but it was online. I don't know if I still am, but hopefully not. But if I am, who cares? I have a big hog and I got a piercing, that's what matters.

On what housemates had to say about his pierced member:

It was a conversation piece from day one, of course. I would go around the house and cling it on s***, like, "Ding ding ding! Everybody it's time to eat!" Or I'd just run around the house and do stupid s*** and just beat it on stuff. I think one day I was walking around and was like, "Hey y'all it's time to get up! Ding ding ding ding!" with my d*** and they're like, "Dude what the f***? Dude that's freakin' huge! Oh my god!"  So they just happened to see it in passing. It wasn't like they were like, "Dude, I wanna see it," or that kinda s***.  But everybody in the house at that point had already seen it.  I mean, I woke up many a times naked and ran through the house.

Yes, yes...

*they do the most amazing cover of Duran Duran's "Come Undone" ever ever ever. It'll be a testament to our extreme times.

Ricky Martin could possibly probably be almost hypothetically bisexual maybe under the right circumstances. Has the Puerto Rican ex-Menudo pop star finally popped out of the closet? The cover and Twitter of TV Aqui have both suggested that the pop star may have come out as bi. The cover says, ""Ricky Martin "accepts that his heart could belong to a male or female." The Twitter says, "Ricky Martin talked to TVaqui and accepted his heart could belong to a male or a female, more in our next issue."

Even though we're gaga for Ricky, we're not going gaga over his supposed self-outing. Yes, he was raised as an altar boy, and yes he's admitted to enjoying piss play in Blender magazine, stating "I've done it before in the shower. It's like so sexy, you know, the temperature of your body and the shower water is very different." But he's also denied gay rumors twice in his past.

In the magazine Plus 7 Days, Ricky said: "I am a modern man, live a full life, do not feel any barriers inside myself," Ricky says. "I perceive the contemporary world as an open forum, where nothing is taboo except criminal activity. If I were gay, why not admit it? ... I am a normal man. I love women and sex. I am a real hot-blooded Puerto Rican, but I have never been attracted by sex with a man." In The Sunday Express, he said: "What are you going to do? I don't have a problem with homosexuality. I'm gay-friendly—I'm not gay."

Also, the quote says that he has accepted the possibility that he'd give his heart to a man. We have straight guy friends who accept the possibility that they'd fall for a dude, given the right 20 circumstances, but we're not holding our breath for them either. Of course, the beach pics with his sexy man-friend above seem pretty homo-encoded. Plus, Towleroad's reporting:

that in December 2007, gay skincare guru Ole Henricksen made headlines when he discussed his client, saying "I'd go for Stig Tøfting [former Danish soccer player], but since he's straight, I'd say my client Ricky Martin...[Ricky Martin] is a little more open about it these days than he used to be...I don't know if he has a boyfriend."

Towleroad continues to speculate whether Ricky's twin boys have encouraged the young DILF to come out like Gayken. We'd be more surprised if Ricky Martin wasn't gay. But he's pulling Glambert for now and until he ends up with his own sex tape, the jury's still out (fingers crossed).

Never one to let a twink steal the spotlight (re: Brent Corrigan's underage ass at the GAYVN awards), the Ice Queen of Porn, Michael Lucas, put out a statement regarding the barebacking pics of his BFF, Dustin Lance Black:

I keep hearing from various gay leaders in different organizations about those "bareback" pictures. I haven't seen those pictures, and I don't care to see those pictures. This guy is a screenwriter who has brought before a new generation a great historical time in the gay community with MILK. He is not a safe sex advocate; but even if he was, it doesn't matter what he is doing in the privacy of his bedroom. My understanding obviously is that he had sex with his boyfriend. So what the fuck is all this noise about? Why does he have to answer for the intimacy of his relationship. He also did not post those pictures, it was some vengeful queen who did. He can't be held accountable for the leeches that want to pray on his status now that he is accomplished.

I believe that he's also given a statement. If I was him, my statement would be simple: None of your fucking business. My boyfriend was the President of the Gay Center for ten years. He has shown me emails from some of the biggest gay leaders and most influential players in the community who were casting harsh shame on Black's character. This is a perfect example of bored rich fags throwing their stones in glass houses, like they've never fucked without protection. I can't imagine that they've never had sex without a condom with a person they were in a relationship with. I'm glad he has given them a quick hobby to talk about but this is ridiculous, hysterical, and nasty. What a disgusting abrasive story which was started by yellow press gossip columnists.

Yeah, great advice, Mike. Let's have the eloquent gay golden boy of the Oscars stand in front of a press conference and say "None of your fucking business! I'll fuck how I wanna fuck! It's my hot body!" Maybe after that, Black could snort a rail off the podium and do a body shot off of a priest.
