Sam Fisher - Splinter Cell: Conviction

I know this seems wrong somehow but games graphics are now becoming so good that the protagonists - in this case Sam Fisher from the Tom Clancy Splinter Cell series - are actually becoming fanciable.

How long before a CGI boyfriend is a viable option...?

Actually this is not so strange considering I fancied Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet puppets as a child... and Joe 90's Uncle Sam...

Ricky comes out

Not news that is going surprise many people one suspects but latin lovegod Ricky Martin has finally confirmed what we all knew - he's been living la vida homo all along!

She bangs indeed. Welcome out Ricky.

The statement on his official website:

A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And thisis something worth celebrating.

For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that's the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It's my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don't ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I'm at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I'm feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share.

Many people told me: "Ricky it's not important", "it's not worth it", "all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse", "many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature". Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.

If someone asked me today, "Ricky, what are you afraid of?" I would answer "the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war...child slavery, terrorism...the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith." But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment.

These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.

What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment. The word "happiness" takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.

I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.

Sam Worthington

Sam Worthington - he's hot, he's oddly bland, he's starring in another soon-to-be-huge 3D movie... and I want that costume from Clash of the Titans!

Ben Foden

Northampton Saints and now England rugby hero Ben Foden - he scored his first try for England against France in the 2010 Six Nations.

He's had longish hair, he's been clean-shaven but he's currently cropped and bearded. Unfortunately he's dating one of The Saturdays. What a waste.

Attitude gets it's cover tagline spot on...

Attitude's new flipover fitness mag is doing a fine job of getting unexpectedly fit/ripped/toned celebrities with their tops off. After last month's splendid revealing of BBC best-kept secret weatherhunk Tomasz Schafernaker, this month it's the turn of - Jesus Christ! it's Ronan Keating!
