Deaf model and current dancing favorite, Nyle DiMarco was paired with Keo Motsepe for a seductive tango in the first same-sex dance routine on Dancing With The Stars. For the Judges’ team Challenge, judge Bruno Tonioli put DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd with actress Jodie Sweetin and Keo Motsepe.

While the dancers normally swap partners through the performance, the audience was semi-shocked when Keo grabbed DiMarco for a shirtless Argentinian Tango. Through his interpreter, DiMarco told the cameras,

This is a Dancing With The Stars first, having same-sex dancing.

Kyle also had another first on the show when he and the dance troupe performed without the help of music, to show what he experiences every time he performs. The moment didn’t last long but it was clear how moving it was.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who was brought to tears by the routine and could barely contain her emotions. Inaba said, choking back tears,

I’ve seen a lot on this show, 22 seasons, and I’ve never seen anything like that. [Something] that touched me so profoundly.

You really are educating us about what it is to dance the way you’re dancing.

The America’s Next Top Model winner calls himself “sexually fluid” and just recently celebrated his 27th birthday. Watch both.

Btw, If You’re Looking for a $15,000, 24-Karat Gold Dildo, Gwyneth Has One…

RH Unveils RH Modern Gallery In LAAs Gwyneth Paltrow‘s lifestyle site Goop bluntly puts it,

“Yep, it’s a 24-karat gold dildo.”

Sex toys have long since graduated from the floppy rubber things you hide in your bedside table to beautiful works of interactive art.”

$15K too much to spend on a gold ding-dong? OK, then there’s the slightly more realistically priced, but still expensive Tiana, which comes with a remote. It costs $399.

Or maybe this Agent Provocateur whip for $535. While the NSFW newsletter is certainly fun, Paltrow calls it one of “their most important issue yet.”

It made us feel awkward, and shy, and like we were doing something dangerous –when we intellectually know that it shouldn’t be that way. That female sexuality isn’t taboo, that it isn’t embarrassing, and that it shouldn’t be wrapped up in so much shame. Even though so many of us have been trained to blush and giggle and joke and duck our eyes. I have those exact same impulses.

She also told Self magazine,

We have this idea that you can’t be a mother and a businesswoman and like to have sex! How is an intelligent woman a sexual being? It’s really hard to integrate those things. Like, ‘Gwyneth has sex? Really?’ It doesn’t seem to go together. But I think it’s important, as mothers and as women contributing to society in whatever way we each are, that our true sexuality doesn’t get lost or put aside.

You may think she’s nuts selling a gold dildo, but she wasn’t going to get coverage with one that looks like a real dick and sells for $49.95. (There is a “Fetish Fantasy Beginner’s Kit” for just $37.99, too!) She knows how to get press, even if it’s not all positive.

Viva la Sex Positive, Gwyennie!

Stroke or Croak: Jerking Off Could Save Your Life

A new US study suggests that men who ‘buff their bananas’ frequently are less likely to develop prostate cancer than their counterparts who don’t often ‘liquidate their assets.’

77136-Andy-Samberg-jizzed-in-my-pant-Dw1x

That’s right! Your favorite guilty pleasure may also be saving your life. A group of 32,000 men who were mostly caucasian were followed from 1992 to 2010, and between these years 4,000 of the participants were diagnosed with prostate cancer. They were all asked to fill out surveys about their sexual health and the frequency that they ‘scour the tower of power.’ The men were also asked to submit their medical records and lab tests.

The breakdown from Salon.com:

  • 192 cases of prostate cancer occurred among men who ejaculated just three times a month
  • 1,041 cases occurred among men who ejaculated 4 to 7 times a month
  • 1,509 cases occurred among men who ejaculated 8 to 12 times a month
  • 807 cases occurred among men who ejaculated 12 to 20 times a month
  • 290 cases occurred among men who ejaculated at least 21 times a month

The leader of the study Jennifer Rider who did the study while attending the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston told the Associated Press:

While our findings should be confirmed in studies that evaluate the potential biological mechanisms underlying the observed associations, the results of our study suggest that ejaculation and safe sexual activity throughout adulthood could be a beneficial strategy for reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

She and her team found that the guys who ‘hone the cone’ at least 21 times per month in their 20s were 19% less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who ‘pull the bologna pony’ less than 7 times, and men in their 40s who often ‘pound the fence post’ were 22% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Oldest-cat_tcm25-428118

The Guinness World Records has just named Scooter, a Siamese cat from Mansfield, Texas, as the oldest living cat in the world, and you’re never going to believe just how old he is!

Scooter is 30 years old! He was born on March 26, 1986 and takes the title from the previous holder, 26-year-0ld Corduroy from Sisters, Oregon. Scooter’s human Gail Floyd was there the day he was born, and credits his long life to his active lifestyle. He loves playing and is full of energy despite breaking his leg in 2014. Scooter has also travelled to 45 of the 50 states and often makes visits to the nursing home where Gail’s mother lives. He enjoys getting blow dried after a bath, and his favorite snack is chicken which he enjoys every other day.

Scooter has a few years to go before breaking the oldest cat ever’s record which is held by Crème Puff of Austin, TX, who lived to be 38-years-old!

It’s The End of An Era: Justin Bieber Isn’t Taking Photos With Fans Anymore

Justin Bieber has been up to some intense antics this week—starting with a new face tattoo (which I actually think is kinda hot) and then feeding squirrels in a park while barefoot. Now, he took to Instagram to reply to some comments from people who were criticizing him and proclaimed that if you see him out and about, he will not take a photo with you.

He posted these blocks of text:

A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

Braekess you are so right btw your Instagram name is fire. Years ago it was impossible to even take a picture at anytime not everyone was accessible to a camera now everyone has a camera phone and Now it’s just a different thing.If you think setting boundaries is being a douche I’m the biggest douche around but I think it’s smart and will be the only way I last. I wanna enjoy life and not be a slave to the world and their demands of what they think I need to do!! I love the fact that I am able to make people happy but cmon if you truly were in my position you would understand how tiring it is ( boo hoo Justin get over it) I’m going to keep making decisions I feel are fit for my growth and no human being will make me feel bad for it.

A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

Apparently Justin is having a hard time keeping up with the demands of being one of the most famous pop stars on the planet. I’m not sure how I feel about this new policy of his, but I’m sure feeling like a “zoo animal” isn’t fun, and if it will keep the possibility of a breakdown at bay to contribute to his overall mental health, then us Beliebers should respect his feelings.

In other words, do you, JB.

#FirstLook: Are You Ready for a Peek at Laverne Cox in “Rocky Horror?”

Tim Curry in the '75 original film

Tim Curry in the ’75 original film


EW just gave us exclusive reveal of Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Seen here with Ben Vereen as Dr. Scott, Laverne takes on the role Tim Curry originated both on stage as well as in the classic 1975 film, as if we have to tell you. Cox told EW,

I get tweets from people, ‘Please don’t fuck up Rocky Horror Picture Show!’ I showed my brother pictures of me in character and he was like, ‘You were preparing your whole life for this.’ 

Notice that this Frank has a different look. That’s intentional. The costumes for this Show are by Tony-winning legend, William Ivey Long…

We were on set and a reporter saw me and said I looked like the love child of Grace Jones and David Bowie. I said ‘That’s exactly right.’ I think we mix up the look more than they did in the original. It’s inspired by the original but it’s really our own take. It’s way more elaborate and couture. [Director] Kenny Ortega had this vision that Frank was at this old theater and found these old burlesque costumes and is, like, using them and wearing them now but has altered them a bit.

Cox calls the experience “magical” and even a little bit life-changing when it comes to the musical numbers.

When I started training again last year, I started working my chest voice. As a trans woman with a low voice, I had been so afraid of those low tones. This is a character where it’s absolutely appropriate that I sing in the base baritone register that I have. What’s also fun is playing with those higher notes in my register too. This is sort of my professional singing debut. But it’s been wonderful claiming my chest voice. It’s been really healing.

Fox’s Rocky Horror Picture Show airs this fall and also features Reeve Carney (Riff Raff), Christina Milian (Magenta), Annaleigh Ashford (Columbia), Victoria Justice (Janet), Ryan McCartan (Brad), Adam Lambert (Eddie), and a cameo by Tim Curry himself as the Narrator.

As you probably already know, Beyoncé joined forces on stage with Prince at the GRAMMYs, and has been known to cover the legend at other concerts. She has been paying tribute on her recent Formation World Tour, and this time, sang a beautiful cover of (my fave) Prince song, “The Beautiful Ones.”

According to NewNowNext, Prince was known to be fond of Beyoncé, going as far to include her in his list of ten favorite artists in Entertainment Weekly.

“I ain’t mad at anything she does. Anything.” he declared. “Those are great songs.”

Watch her performance:

There’s been a lot of SHADY ageist antics goin’ on lately…especially from some sassy queens (You know who you are!). Granted, Gen X and baby boomers think they had it better, and are usually respectful and celebratory of the previous generations’ accomplishments. Millennials think they know it all, seem entitled, and are often bored by any conversation that lasts longer than 140 characters. Then there is 91 years old Flossie Lewis…who’s letting you know that as she gets older, her body may go, but her personality and good-natured character remains intact. Will you be able to say the same??? Check out her GORGE video below.
