Q: A year ago I saw a very good gay short film called Bugcrush and I fell in love with Donald Cumming, the bad boy bug enthusiast from the film. Cumming is the lead singer is a great band called the Virgins. You gotta let me know if he is queer or not. – Darius, Birmingham, UK

A: I love the Virgins! If you’re not familiar with them, take a listen:

Cumming is definitely adorable. Alas, he is also straight, most recently linked with Peaches Geldof, the daughter of Bob Geldof and a U.K. socialite and reality TV star.

Q: Oh, Wise Monkey, now that Dustin Lance Black has gotten his well-deserved Oscar, are any distributors thinking about re-issuing his 2001 docu-soap On the Bus? It was released some years ago, but is really pricey to get a hold of! -- Nick, Copenhagen, Denmark

A: Unfortunately the movie is out of print, and I could find no plans to reissue it.

Q: Lynn Warren and Alex Ali (formerly of The Amazing Race) were guests on Adam Carolla's incredibly popular podcast today, and it was hilarious. It was also very informative and maybe even a bit offensive.

But Adam wasn't the one that offended me, it was the gays! They were talking about being famous for nothing, over-using the police department, hardcore sex, and other really stereotypical and offensive things that they revel in. Can you think of any other gay guys that you'd rather just went away and quit making the rest of us look bad? – Cody, Minneapolis, MN

A: Now that is a provocative question! Do I dare answer it?

Well, y’all know me by now: straight into the ol’ hornets’ nest!
