PHOTOS: Sin Was In At New York City’s Hustlaball
On Sunday night New York City’s Slake nightclub hosted one of the naughtiest events of the year. Hustlaball New York is one of 27 parties thrown around the world celebrating the best in hustlers, go-go boys, rent boys and porn stars. This year marked its 16th anniversary and no punches were pulled. Porn stars like Austin Wolf, Duncan Black, Tommy Defendi, Boomer Banks, Brent Corrigan and others performed live for their crowd of horned up fanatics and fans.
This year’s “Sin is In” theme brought the hoofed Satyr out of mythology and onto the dancefloor. Once again, the members of club art collective Dreamhouse brought their aesthetic to Slake for Hustlaball’s annual fête. “Sin is In” conjured the ghosts of New York’s past and revelers got to relive a more raunchy Gotham city.

Channing Tatum And Steve Carell Go For Gold In New Trailer For 'Foxcatcher' – VIDEO
Channing Tatum And Steve Carell Go For Gold In New Trailer For 'Foxcatcher' – VIDEO
Channing Tatum and Steve Carell star in the highly anticipated upcoming film Foxcatcher about a wrestler (Tatum) who wants to be the best wrestler in the world and a mysterious older benefactor (Carell) who offers him his patronage. What begins as a mutually symbiotic relationship quickly devolves into something darker and more twisted.
The film, which also stars Mark Ruffalo, was physically taxing on Tatum. From Yahoo Movies:
Tatum admitted to keeping secret the various ailments he suffered throughout the seven months of training and the grueling shoot that followed. “Look, when you’re in that kind of a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’re hurt or not,” the actor told Yahoo. “You keep moving forward. I don’t think my knees will ever be the same after that, and I still have cauliflower ear. But if I came out of the movie without it, I’d feel like I didn’t do something right.”
Watch the trailer, AFTER THE JUMP…

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi Address Baby Rumors
Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi Address Baby Rumors
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are putting an end to those baby rumors.
De Rossi appeared on DeGeneres’ show Tuesday, and the talk show host grilled her wife over tabloid claims they’re going to start a family. The rumor mill has been churning so much that those close to the couple began questioning the claims: the “Arrested Development” star’s brother called and asked if he is going to be an uncle, while DeGeneres’ assistant wanted to know if she was keeping something from him.
“They want us to have a baby. Did you see it says, ‘They’re finally starting a family,” de Rossi said, pointing to a magazine cover. “Like, are people really that mad at us? … So, um, no … we’re not.”
“No, we’re not gonna have a baby?” DeGeneres asked. “OK, good for me to know now.”
If they do decide to have a child some day, one thing’s for sure: they’d be two awesome parents.
Who Doesn’t Want To Be Naked With James Franco?
Who Doesn’t Want To Be Naked With James Franco?
This is the very important question posed by Seth Rogen’s wife, modern thinker Lauren Miller, as a response to HuffPo’s recent question: “why are you and James Franco naked so often?”
And it’s a good one to ask, considering the recent Instagram photos documenting their naked outdoor adventures and before that, their racy nude painting phase. “Me and Franco…have teamed up with the Discovery Channel to get Naked and Afraid,” says Rogen, confirming the pair will be on an upcoming episode of the show.
The actor and his wife were speaking with HuffPo about an upcoming event for their Hilarity for Charity organization, but it’s clear what topic was the most important. “20 percent of the questions for you were about Alzheimer’s,” the interviewer says, “and 80 were about James Franco’s penis.”

Idaho Gov. Butch Otters Confirms Same-Sex Marriage Set To Start Tomorrow, Won't Comment On Potential Appeal
Idaho Gov. Butch Otters Confirms Same-Sex Marriage Set To Start Tomorrow, Won't Comment On Potential Appeal
Idaho Governor Butch Otter has announced that same-sex marriages will be allowed to begin tomorrow as planned. As BuzzFeed reports, Otter’s office issued a statement that made sure to note the governor’s continued belief in “traditional marriage”:
“The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its mandate for enforcement of decisions overturning the Idaho Constitution’s prohibition on same-sex marriage effective at 10 a.m. MDT, 9 a.m. PDT on Wednesday, October 15. I continue to believe that the federal courts are mistaken in abandoning the sanctity of traditional marriage and in undermining the will of Idaho voters and each state’s right to define marriage. But we are civil society that respects the rule of law. We have done all we can through the courts for now to defend traditional marriage in Idaho.”
However, Otter is unlikely to end his battle against marriage equality here. As to “whether Otter will seek further review of the ruling from the three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit, something lawyers for Otter have suggested in prior filings that he will do”, a spokesman, referring to the statement issued today, said, “We are saying nothing more than that.”
Interestingly, Otter’s entrenchment on the subject of same-sex marriage places him at odds with his state’s attorney general, also a Republican, who believes the fight is essentially over:
Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden had acknowledged on Monday in a court filing that the state would not be able to meet the standards for halting the marriages during any appeal. On Tuesday, Wasden’s spokesman, Todd Dvorak, told BuzzFeed News, “Attorney General [Wasden] currently has no plans for filing any legal challenge today or tomorrow.”
