Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Out rocker Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar) is writing an autobiography. Considering he lived through the 80s pioneering an otherwise hetero American music movement while a closeted gay man and drug user and came through the other side a blogger who shares casserole recipes on his website, it will no doubt be a fascinating read.

• RealityBlurred.com has an exclusive interview with Survivor: Gabon's Charlie Herschel who apparently wants to be a large, powerful, black woman. That sounds nice, but I'd just take the million dollars and call it a day. 

• Howard Stern strikes again during a CNN broadcast about the U.S.'s latest financial catastrophe.  No doubt John McCain and Sarah Palin will cite this as a reason to ban gay marriage.

• GLAAD's Damon Romine got his hands on George Takei and Brad Altman's wedding vows. The sickness and health part I get, but what's this businee about warp coil drives?
  

• Apparently a lot of American LGBT groups aren't getting the joke when it comes to Little Britain USA: They're calling a boycott due to the show's "homophobic" humor. Or is it all a joke itself?

• Gospel singer Ray Boltz has come out of the closet. Hallelujah!
