  • Adam Lambert showcases flower-power look and talks about new music

    Adam Lambert showcases flower-power look and talks about new music

    Global popstar, Adam Lambert has showcased a beautiful boho style for a magazine interview.

    Adam Lambert has gone from Bohemian Rhapsody to Bohemian style for a beautiful photoshoot with Schon Magazine.

    Adam Lambert channels bohemian vibes in a new shoot for Schon Magazine. In the accompanying interview, the multi-platinum selling singer discusses exploring a new sound whilst creating his forthcoming album, speaking up against social injustice, remaining authentic in his creativity and the LGBT+ community.

    Adam was recently announced among the cast of the new animated film ‘Playmobil: The Movie’. He also hinted that there would be brand new music from him very soon.

    Speaking about new music, Adam told Schon,”I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do for a minute, as far as my solo career. Now, I’ve explored some new sounds and some new concepts and I’m on the course to put something out, but it took a second to discover that for myself, for this project.”

    “I was just waiting to catch a certain inspiration, you know what I mean? I was really digging, trying to find some authenticity. The most authentic sound and style that I could. I think from the outside looking in, I think the fans, for example, may just think “oh, you’ve done this album and now you can just pop another one out, you know… do it” [laughs] But those of us who are actually making the albums, know it’s not as simple as that. There is the creative process. You can’t really put a time stamp on it and just demand it to happen.”

    Adam also revealed that he was going back to his musical roots, revealing, “There’s a lot of reference to Glam-Rock and Classic Rock of the ‘70s and the early ‘80s. I’ve gone back to a lot of those inspirations. I feel there’s also some parallel to my second album. I mean it’s a general statement to make because obviously, it’s more than one song, but I think fans will draw some comparisons. […]

    “It’s coming back to the music that inspired me to want to become a musician in the first place.”

    Speaking about what he thinks is troubling the LGBT+ community Adam revealed, “I think the biggest enemy of the LGBTQ+ community right now is indifference. It’s people just feeling like victims, and then just sitting around and taking it. That’s the problem.

    “What’s so exciting right now is that so many people are mobilising and encouraging people to step up. We have to get involved politically. I think a lot of liberals and younger people have felt for a very long time that their voice doesn’t count and that they can’t affect change and there’s this underlying sense of hopelessness, unfortunately.”

    Jaden Smith has said that he and Tyler the Creator are boyfriends on stage at the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.

    Taking the microphone Jaden said, ‘I just wanna say Tyler, The Creator is the best friend in the world. And I love him so fing much, and I wanna tell you guys something, I wanna tell you, Tyler doesn’t wanna say, but Tyler is my mother fing boyfriend.’

    He continued, “And he’s been my mother f***ing boyfriend my whole f***ing life,”

    The moment was captured by the MyMixtapez Instagram and others on social media like Twitter user @NickiGoat.

    Tyler the Creator, real name, Tyler Gregory Okonma, seemingly came out in 2017 when lyrics on the track from his album, Flower Boy revealed that he had been kissing boys since 2004. He raps, “‘Next line will have ’em like “Whoa” / I been kissing white boys since 2004,’  on the track “I Ain’t Got Time”.

    Tyler actually came out in 2015, but claimed in a Tweet that nobody took any notice.

    Jaden then took to social media to tweet Tyler saying, “‘Yup @tylerthecreator I Told Everyone You Can’t Deny It Now.’

    Tyler the creator replied, Tyler responded by tweeting back, “hahaha you a crazy n***a man”.

    Jaden has in the past revealed that he considers himself genderfluid but has never talked about his sexuality.

    “Real Girlfriend”

    However later in the show, an unnamed woman turned up on the stage, to which Jaden told the crowd, “this is my real girlfriend, for real”.

     

    Not all fans buy it

    On social media however, many fans weren’t buying into the revelation with many feeling that it was a stunt by Jaden Smith. When @MyMixtapez asked their followers what they thought of Jaden’s statement, many believed that Jaden was pranking.

    The film, TV and West End star, John Barrowman, is joining nine other campmates down under for the latest series of the popular jungle show, which starts on the 18th November.

    John Barrowman, who is married to his husband Scott, will be embarking on a journey of a lifetime as he battles in the Aussie wilderness to be crowned king of the Jungle.

    John is probably most famous for his starring roles in Doctor Who and Torchwood.

    Last year he endured surgery after suffering agonising appendicitis. The star needed immediate medical attention at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California.

    In 2014 Barrowman surprised audiences across the commonwealth when he grabbed a guy and gave a full-on lip smacker during his song in the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. It is thought the kiss was done as a political statement as homosexuality is illegal in the majority of the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.

    John will be joining, EastEnders’ actress Rita Simons, football manager Harry Redknapp, Vamps singer James McEvey, Inbetweeners star Emily Atack and Hollyoaks‘ Malique Thompson-Dwyer, Coronation Street‘s Sair Khan, DIY SOS’ Nick Knowles, X Factor‘s Fleur East, and The Chase‘s Anne Hegerty.

  • Man takes his own life following months of homophobic abuse

    A young Scottish man took his own life after months and months of homophobic bullying.

    Scott McIntosh was 28-years-old when he took his own life according to Scottish news site, Sunday Post. It alleges that Scott was targetted by an acquaintance, Kevin Edgar whom Scott knew from school. Edgar is said to have made a series of homophobic phone calls to Scott, after he came out as gay. Scott was a deep-sea diver from Aberdeen. He was also a father to a four-year-old boy.

    On Wednesday, the Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Edgar, 29,  admit to a charge of making an obscene phone call that related to Scott’s sexuality, the communication was said to be indecent, obscene or menacing character” and contained “homophobic remarks”.

    The anonymous calls and emails started 20 months before Scott finally killed himself.

    Edgar was originally charged under the Communications Act 2003 by making threatening phone calls and “electronic communications messages” over a four-month period.

    “took his life due to depression and anxiety”

    Scott died from suicide in Feb 2018, leaving behind his only son, Riley. In August his father, Doug McIntosh, told the Scottish Sun that his son, “took his own life due to depression and anxiety and that seems to be something a lot of young people go through these days.

    “It’s becoming a bit of an epidemic. But it’s a horrific thing for a family to go through”.

    Scott’s father is now raising money for Scott’s son, Riley. A JustGiving page has already raised £5,900. Doug McIntosh writes, “I started this campaign “For the Life of Riley” after losing my Son Scott in February 25th 2018 and want to keep positive to help my Grandson Riley in Scott’s memory.”

  • Bleeding after anal sex: What you should do about it

    Bleeding after anal sex: What you should do about it

    Bleeding after anal sex can be just ‘one of those things’ and can happen on your first go round or your 100th – so to put your mind and butt at rest, here’s why it happens.

    (C) BIGSTOCK

    Anal sex can be an integral part of a sexual relationship, but not all couples do it – however, there’s a lot of wrong information out there about bottoming.

    Tiny rips happen

    Embed from Getty Images

    Your rectum is not self-lubricating, so unless you’re using lube, you’re going to be creating a lot of friction, which can cause the lining of the rectum to tear or rip a little, if this sounds hideous, it might be worth noting that most of these rips are tiny – and can actually happen outside of sex as well. These rips can cause bleeds – and most probably you’ve had bleeds but never realised it.

    It happens because the lining of your rectum is not as strong as your normal skin.

    Also, anal sex could also be causing what are known as anal fissures – which are tiny rips that can happen both on the inside and on and around your actual hole – especially if you’re not relaxed or have not loosened yourself up before the main event. These can heal all by themselves within a few weeks.

    The P Word…

    Another issue is the dreaded P word – yes piles.

    Bleeds may be caused by popping a pile or if we’re going to be medical about it, haemorrhoids.  Piles are completely normal and are the enlargement of a blood vessel that already exists inside your butt. You might not even know you have one until it pops during sex.

    Some people have visible piles on the outside of the anus, whilst some have them on the inside.

    There’s no evidence to show that having anal sex causes piles but it can inflame the issue.

    Jose Perez de la Cruz from THT told us, “So long as the piles are not actively bleeding or painful at the time on intercourse then it is probably safe to have sex. If they are bleeding or there is inflammation though this means that the natural protective barrier formed by the skin and mucous membranes is not at its optimum which if exposed to an STI can make transmission more likely”.

    “So long as the piles are not actively bleeding or painful at the time on intercourse then it is probably safe to have sex. If they are bleeding or there is inflammation though this means that the natural protective barrier formed by the skin and mucous membranes is not at its optimum which if exposed to an STI can make transmission more likely”.

    If you’re suffering from haemorrhoids you can buy Preparation H or Germaloids online and this should help ease them away and give yourself a few days rest from sex to help you heal.

    When should go to the doctor about anal bleeding?

    If you are experiencing a lot of pain or prolonged aching after sex you might need to seek medical help. It is normal for there to be some discomfort for a day after, especially after your first time. However, if pain continues you should go and see your GP or book yourself into a sexual health clinic.

    If there is a lot of blood (think steady drip rather than a bit of spotting on your toilet paper) you should go and see your doc ASAP.

    Dr Shawn Khodadadian, a board-certified gastroenterologist in Manhattan, is cautioning people against ignoring rectal bleeding. He warns that rectal bleeding could be a sign of other, far more serious illness such as colorectal or colon cancer. He said,

     “as there are many possible causes and getting an early diagnosis is particularly important. This is because although rectal bleeding can be a symptom of haemorrhoids, colitis or anal fissures, it can also be a sign of a far more serious illness for example colorectal or colon cancer. These types of cancers can often be completely cured when detected early.”

    Your gonna need lube and lots of it

    So the best way to stop the friction is to use lube a lot of it. You can find out about the different types of lube here. If you’re having a long session – they don’t forget to keep reapplying the lube or use a silicon-based lube, which should last a lot longer.

    Remember, despite what you see in gay porn, you can just ram it in. You need to take your time, use lube and go an inch at a time!

  • Why did Rose McGowan shave her hair off?

    Why did Rose McGowan shave her hair off?

    The actor has famously shed her former glossy brunette locks, but why?

    why did Rose McGowan shave her head?

    Rose McGowan answers the question of shaving her head in her autobiography, Brave. The Scream actor, who shaved her hair in November 2015, says she shaved off her hair because she no longer wanted to look like a “fantasy f**k toy”.

    She wrote in the book, “The ideal version of a woman that is sold to you by every actress in every hair commercial telling you, ‘this the secret to being beguiling, the secret to getting a man to want you.’ Long, glossy Kardashian-esque hair that says, “f*** me, big boy,

    “‘As if that’s all we are and all we can be. Hair.”

    In November 2015 McGowan shaved off her trademark brunette locks after feeling that it put a “sex target” on her back.

    McGowan’s long hair and the way in which she was styled at the beginning of her career made her feel like a “blow-up sex doll”

    “Sex Target”

    McGowan also wrote that her long hair “always made her uncomfortable” and that she was wearing, “a plant on my head and a sex target on my back”.

    She continues, “I thought I looked more like a blow-up sex doll, the kind with the hole for the mouth. And it didn’t feel good”.

    McGowan also revealed that she thinks that Hollywood has unspoken rules about women’s hair.

    She revealed, “if you’re a Jennifer Lawrence America’s sweetheart type, you have simple blonde hair, if you’re the vixen, it is long, dark and big. Those are the rules, do not deviate.”

     

     

     

  • Has anyone gay ever won the X Factor?

    Has anyone gay ever won the X Factor?

    The X Factor has become a mainstay of British weekend television and has given us fourteen winning acts. But have any of them identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender?

    First off, there has never been an openly transgender winner of X Factor, there also has never been an openly lesbian or bisexual winner. There has been just one openly gay man to win the biggest talent competition in the UK – and he wasn’t even out when he took part in the competition.

    Joe McElderry is the only gay person to win the show. He won the competition in 2009 – however, he wasn’t openly gay during the competition and denied rumours surrounding his sexuality. He came out after the show in an exclusive interview with The Mirror newspaper – which called his decision to come out as “brave”.

    More worryingly the X Factor has produced more winners who have been revealed to have been homophobic or tweeted anti-gay comments than actual LGBT winners.

    In 2014 James Arthur was eventually dumped by his record label after it emerged that he released a diss track in which he used the term “f**king queer”. In 2018 it was revealed, days before she was to headline Birmingham Pride that Louisa Johnson had repeatedly used the slur “faggot” on Twitter. Birmingham Pride did not cancel her appearance, despite calls from pride goers. The first ever winner of the show, Steve Brookstein once said that he wished the openly gay gossip columnist Dan Wootton had HIV.

  • X Factor contestant comes out as gay

    X Factor contestant comes out as gay

    X Factor singer Danny Tetley has come out as gay

    ITV

    Danny Tetley has opened up about his sexuality and revealed his dad’s surprising response when he found out.

    Danny has been out to his family since 2001, but it’s only now that his sexuality has become wider public knowledge. Speaking to The Sun, about how he came out to his Dad, Danny said, “I always had my questions over the years but Dad was never open about it.

    It turns out that the pair came out to each other whilst on holiday in the LA and were comparing which guys they both found attractive.

    Danny revealed, “In LA we’d gone into a bar and then realised it was a gay bar.

    “The drinks flowed and we started talking about the men in there who were handsome.

    “That led to a conversation back at the hotel and we were honest with each other for the first time.

    “It was quite a strange moment — there aren’t many fathers and sons who are gay.”

    “It must have been tough for my dad growing up in the era he did and not being able to be himself”.

    He revealed that his parents split when the singer was just six-years-old, Danny was quick to add, however, that his father did love his mum.

    The X Factor singer realised that he was gay when he was just four years old. Speaking about how people react when they find out that he is gay he says that they’re often surprised, “When I did come out it was always a bit of a shock because I was in the rugby and football teams. People say I am not your typical gay man, but who is?”

    So is Danny single?

    According to the singer, he is focussing on the competition at the moment and doesn’t have time for dating, but joked that since he’s been on the show that his social media has blown up with male attention. He said, “I’ve had plenty of men hitting on me through social media, saying they fancy me, but I have no time at the minute and I’m liking my own space.”
