The Homosexual Gourmand

Above, Gerard Butler from his really wack-looking new terrorist-vigilante movie Law Abiding Citizen. Below, a model from Willy Vanderperre's spread in Arena Homme + (Winter/Spring '09/'10):

 From the same issue, some unseen shots of Nick Kamen from a 1983 Brett Walker shoot:

Mr. Across The Universe

Look Back In Anger

In Arena Homme + (Summer/Autumn 09), Juergen Teller shoots and Horacio Silva interviews the notorious Kenneth Anger, gay experimental filmmaker, author of the heartlessly salacious Hollywood Babylon (which would put hair on Perez Hilton's chest) and occultist. The reclusive and polarizing figure speaks at length as he promotes a self-titled show at PSI Contemporary Art Center on Long Island, up through September 14.

Fascinatingly, Anger says there will be no Hollywood Babylon 3 by him, chiefly because of libel issues. When asked about Scientology, he says:

Bruce's Boys

Bruce Weber's "A Handprint Of A Friend" feature from Arena Homme + (Fall/Winter 08/09) profiles numerous delicious pieces of trade that he just could not resist photographing and profiling. Is it deeper than that? I think not. Nor does it have to be.

First up, hometown boy John Wayne Johnston:

Actor Cory Bond, who all but boffs his wife in the mag:

Doug Porter, whose hefty schlong is shown in the mag:

Incredibly hot student Aaron O'Connell, who also goes full monty, except even fuller, inside the issue:

God Bless Them, Every One

From Arena Homme + (Fall/Winter 08/09), Willy Vanderperre presents "fifteen Homme + boys of past and present" in Dickensian garb. These are my two faves.

Coming Between His Calvins

From Arena Homme + (Winter/Spring 08/09), designer Italo Zucchelli's works are shot by Alasdair McLellan as a tribute to Calvin Klein's seminal 1983 underwear campaign. Zucchelli is actually now CK's menswear designer.

I Never Forget A Peter

Here's a blast from the not-so-distant past—for Arena Homme + (Fall/Winter 08/09), Bruce Weber shoots Peter Johnson, who was the subject of an instantly sold-out book as well as the movie The Chop Suey Club in 2000. He shows us Peter's burgeoning family (he's married with three kids) and reproduces a bizarre (to me) letter to his former obsession that waxes horny about his growth as a man and their long friendship. "Stay strong, Pete," Bruce sums up, as butch as anyone. Still, fun to see that Johnson hasn't changed an iota.

Klein Time

Steven Klein's piece in Arena Homme + (Fall/Winter 08/09) has a ridiculous title, but the contents are intensely hot and weird:
