The Real Mavericks

Jennifer Livingston shoots "Mavericks 2009" for Details (April 2009), an article that selects the most truly maverick figures of 2009. Among them, Dustin Lance Black (above), the Oscar-winning writer of Milk, who says that while he was "very, very closeted" as a teen, a move to San Francisco led to an obsession with Harvey Milk's legacy that would later prove useful. Least maverick trait? In reference to his BlackBerry, he notes, "I totally use smiley faces."

After the jump, openly straight Andy Samberg and openly gay Facebook founder Chris Hughes...

Hug It Out

Sydney does a secret-fart play-by-play that would win any straight man's affections.

I have liked Judd Apatow's movies while being pissed off at their "joking" homophobic streak, but I think it's John Hamburg who has made the perfect relationship movie—and it's not centrally about a man and a woman, nor is it gay.

Just before a too informative toast almost leaves his engagement as toast.

In I Love You, Man, perennial sidekick Paul Rudd is Peter Klaven, a sweet, nebbish realtor who's just popped the question to his girlfriend (a sparkling and confident Rashida Jones) only to discover she and all of her galpals (among them a brassy Jaime Pressly and desperate Sarah Burns) think he's a borderline freak due to his lack of male friends.

Fisting with dad.

Bromosexuality

I might be more offended if he weren't so cute.

Out plays with fire, putting openly straight Andy Samberg on its cover (he plays a  non-stereotypical gay man in the upcoming bromance comedy I Love You, Man...albeit a "het hunter" who only sleeps with straight men). After all, he's taken heat for his gay-themed skits this season.

Admirably, Out probes this issue, pointing out that some of his gay jokes are hard to distinguish from caricature. I personally have to say I've always enjoyed his gay skits...I've never felt that his humor came from a place of making fun of gays so much as from a place of making fun of gay panic. Granted, it's hard to successfully argue either way whether something is gay or anti-gay, offensive or just plain funny. But I simultaneously feel Samberg all right and feel that Out's Joshua David Stein is cool not to let him off the hook.

Gay friend or gay foe?

On his gay character in I Love You, Man:

"The reason I liked the character is because I know people like that. There is this guy I know who for all appearances is pretty aggressively straight but who is actually gay. When we do an impression of him, it's always like [slipping into the bro voice], 'Fucking pounded some beers, fucking kick-ass game on the television, I'm going to go suck a dude's dick. See you later!'"

All That Jizz

Andy Samberg plays a real-life nine-year-old author of a book on how to talk to girls. It's wildly inappropriate, which is good—SNL needs some danger in it.:

I'm sure Samberg and Nick Jonas will play brothers when the Jonases eventually host the show (that is a given even if it's not currently announced or even planned).

And this could be a hit single..."Jizz In My Pants":
