Sam Smith: Shia LeBeouf Turns Me On

British pop idol Sam Smith has a celebrity crush on Transformer star Shia LeBeouf

In an on-air interview with SiriusXM Hits 1, the actor talked about being single and what kind of guy that turns them on (Sam’s preferred pronoun is they).

“Do you know who came up on my phone last night? Shia LaBeouf,” Sam said. “He’s so fit. He turns me on.”

“I don’t think he’s gay. But, I’ll be happy to be his first,” Sam continued.

The Oscar and Grammy winner came out as genderfluid in an interview two years ago, saying “I Feel Just as Much Woman as I Am Man”

“People don’t know this, but when I was 17, I remember becoming obsessed with Boy George and Marilyn,” Sam told the London Sunday Times. “There was one moment in my life when I didn’t own a piece of male clothing, really.”

“I would wear full makeup every day at school – eyelashes, leggings, with Dr Martens and huge fur coats, for two and a half years. I got teased a lot for it, but there were also people respecting me for walking around like that in school.”

Sam then moved to London, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to make the bullying stop. He even got assaulted one night after getting off work at a bar: “I’d finished work and put on my clothes, and someone punched me in the chest, obviously just because of the way I looked. But that never bothered me, because I had this barricade up.”

Sam Smith came out to the public as gay in May 2014. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards he acknowledged a relationship with actor and model Jonathan Zeizel when he said, “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys!”

He won the 2015 Best Original Song Oscar for “Writing’s on the Wall,” from the James Bond movie Spectre. He also cleaned out the 2015 Grammys, winning Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Stay With Me,” Best Pop Vocal Album for “In the Lonely Hour”, and Best New Artist.

Sam has also dated 13 Reasons Why star Brandon Flynn.

Neil Patrick Harris And David Burtka Show Off Their Xmas Dream Home

It’s Christmastime and nobody does the Holidays quite like the Harris-Burtka household

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka have given Architectural Digest a tour of their lavishly decorated home in Harlem, New York City.

“We’ve been together for over 15 years, which is a lot of holidays,” Neil Patrick tells AD. “And every holiday you wind up buying a throw pillow, a new Nutcracker, or something. And we’ve kept it all.”

“That’s what I like about Christmas, the time spent putting it all together,” he says.

Neil Patrick and David became parents to twins Gideon and Harper in 2010 and love incorporating memories of the kids growing up throughout their home.

Photos of the twins are everywhere and and many ornaments on the trees were made by the kids.

The couple throws an annual Christmas bash in their music room which ends with a White Elephant gifting.

“I love hosting games,” David tells AD. “It’s a very friendly one and everyone brings an expensive-ish gift so that everyone is relatively happy. The holiday party, for us, is a good opportunity to get to reconnect with people that we haven’t seen in a long time.”

Earlier this year, Neil Patrick was the international ambassador for Tel Aviv’s Gay Pride Parade and headlined the city’s annual celebration of its famous gay-friendly scene together with David.

“Pride. Love. Life. Thank you for having us as International Ambassadors #telavivpride, the outpouring of positivity was truly overwhelming. #grateful @dbelicious ?️‍?,” Neil Patrick wrote on Instagram.

The “How I Met Your Mother” star is by many seen as something of a gay icon but says he doesn’t see himself that way.

“I’m just a guy who is married to another guy and we have kids and we live our lives I would say as ‘normally’ as one would. But I think normal is a very subjective term, especially in the gay community,” he told The Associated Press.

“I legitimately have no interest in being a representative or an ambassador for anything except my kids.”

Neil Patrick’s “normal life” includes hanging out with guncle Elton John, like the family did when they went to one of the pop icon’s concerts in December last year.

The concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden was the last stop on Elton John’s farewell tour and was the first ever for the kids.

‘We are beyond grateful to consider this artist and genius a friend. His husband is remarkable, his children divine. Thank you for the spectacular memories, good Sir’, Neil Patrick wrote on Instagram.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTPDD7h9Bs/

Neil Patrick, David, Gideon and Harper were hanging out with Elton backstage before enjoying the concert with his husband, David Furnish.

The two families have been close for some time and went on holiday together to St Tropez earlier this year.

Why Sleeping Naked With Your Boyfriend May Save Your Life

15

According to several studies there are very good reasons for you and your boyfriend to drop your pajamas at night. And it goes far beyond just the pure joy of being nekkid.

Personally I always sleep naked, but my boyfriend does not. Now I may just have gotten several very good reasons to strip him down because according to Dagens.dk sleeping naked has many benefits for your body, your happiness and your relationship.

Some of these benefits include:

1) You’ll be happier

A British study of 100 couples revealed that there was a clear correlation between how happy they were and sleeping naked together. Couples who dropped their clothes at night were significantly happier.

Another survey in 2014 with 1,000 participants showed that couples who sleep naked were more satisfied with their relationship and their partner, writes Huffington Post.

2) You sleep better

An American study has shown that you sleep better if you sleep naked. This is due to the body’s natural circadian rhythms. At night your body will try to lower your body temperature in order to conserve energy. If you sleep with clothes on, your body will think that it still is day time and it may take longer for you to fall asleep.

“It can make it harder for your body to calm down,” explains sleep specialist Poul Jennum, head physician at the Danish Center for Sleep Medicin at Glostrup Hospital.

“When you and your boyfriend wake up refreshed this will have a positive effect on your relationship. It turns out that people who are more rested have greater patience and are generally in a better mood. All this helps to ensure that the relationship will be even better,” says the sleep expert.

3) You have more sex

More nudity can mean more sex. Many couples find it more natural to have sex if they’re already laying naked next to each other.

Being naked together even increases the release of oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone,” and this strengthens the bond between you and your boyfriend, writes Dagens.dk.

“When you’re sleeping naked with your partner it signals a green light to intimacy and sex,” says Mathilde Mackowski who is the founder and co-owner of Denmark’s largest online shop for sex toys.

Let's get physical

4) You relax more

If you’re naked in bed with you’re partner you may both experience several health benefits from this. According to Huffington Post,  skin to skin contact may lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels in the body and really just make you happier. So it may actually save your life!

5) Your body get to breath

When you sleep in your underwear or pajamas it creates a warm and humid environment which could increase the risk of developing fungal infections.

So I have some really good arguments now to get my boyfriend naked:-) How about you? Will this information make you shed your clothes at night? Or do you already take it all off? Let us know in the comment field below.

The Best Gay-Friendly Casinos Around the World

1

The LGBTQ+ community is expanding every day, with more awareness meaning hundreds of businesses are wanting to cash in on a very lucrative market. Casinos are no different, with many flying their rainbow flag with pride. Whether that’s by hosting gay events, adding statement décor or hosting drag shows aplenty, there are plenty of hotels and casinos to choose from where you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

The gay community is hugely attractive audience for casinos, with many offering specialist packages and discount deals. As a largely child-free market with a lot of disposable income, it makes sense for casinos to make visiting as appealing as possible for gay people across the globe by hosting parties and events aplenty.

While most casinos should of course be gay-friendly, we’ve put together a list of those ones that have gone the extra mile to welcome the gay community. Unsurprisingly, many of these gay-friendly venues can be found in the capital of glitz and glamour – Las Vegas. While everyone probably thinks of Caesar’s Palace as one of the gay hot-spots, with its lavish décor and hunky centurions, but it’s actually some of the other hotels which have fully embraced the gay community.

The Luxor, Las Vegas, USA

The Luxor chapel is a popular hotspot for same sex commitment ceremonies.

The Egyptian styling is to die for, with every wall and surface shimmering with gold and hieroglyphics, but it’s not just the décor that makes this hotel worth visiting. Regular gay events, including a weekly pool party named ‘sun kissed Sunday’ and a fashion show, will have every fun-seeking traveller feeling adventurous. Their chapel caters for same-sex ceremonies and there’s even a Pride discount to take advantage of.

The casino is housed right in the centre of the pyramid providing a stunning view of your surroundings, including the impressive diagonal lifts which carry patrons up the glass sides to their hotel rooms. With everything from slots to blackjack, roulette to poker, the casino caters for all thrill-seekers and luck-chancers.

Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, USA

In the centre of Soho, London’s famous gay district, lies the Vegas-style Empire Casino. The venue makes good use pf a converted ballroom and performance space to create a luxurious, decadent gaming room where you can find pretty much any game you desire.

There isn’t a hotel associated with the casino, but being in central London, there are several good choices nearby. Not that you’d want to sleep when you’re surrounded by burlesque clubs, gay bars and world-famous theatre. London is an amazing city to visit, and if you’re going to try your luck in a casino while you’re there, it might as well be the biggest!

Renaissance Casino, Oranjestad, Aruba

Aruba’s coastline has many dazzling hotels and casinos for visitors to the exotic island.

If you fancy more of a tropical backdrop to your holiday, then Aruba is probably your best bet. Out of all the Caribbean Islands, it’s the most gay-friendly and the Renaissance Casino has a great location – right on its own private beach – as well as world class facilities including a spa and beauty centre. The resort is split into two, with a family-friendly section and an adult-only section, meaning that you can feel free to have the kind of holiday you want, without having to worry about disapproving families.

The casino itself is truly a spectacle to behold: crystal chandeliers, gold columns, Italian marble…nowhere else will make you feel as much like a star. Aruba also has a buzzing nightlife in the surrounding areas, with the gay District 7 one of the hottest places to party. There are multiple bars and restaurants, from low-key gin bars to lavish drag shows.

Mohegan Sun, Connecticut, USA

Connecticut’s casinos are gay friendly and have also hosted to some of the world’s most famous celebs.

If you’re looking for somewhere a little quieter, where everything you could need for a wonderful vacation is all under one roof, then the simply stunning Mohegan Sun resort and casino could be the perfect getaway venue for you. ‘Upmarket’ doesn’t come close to describing the style, with everything about the Mohegan Sun designed to make you feel like a visiting Prince. There are three on-site casinos where you can try your luck at hitting the jackpot, as well as a 10,000-seat arena that has hosted the likes of Jay-Z and Britney Spears, as well as major sporting events.

Conclusion

More and more worldwide hotels and casinos are signing up to be gay-friendly. Everyone wants a holiday where they can totally relax and be themselves and by proudly flying their rainbow flags, gay-friendly venues can almost guarantee they won’t have a shortage of customers flooding through their doors.

That’s especially true of the hotels and casinos mentioned above, who have not only gone out of their way to make the gay community feel welcomed but have also recognised that we are a distinct group of individuals with different needs and tastes. Venues are actively catering for these by providing a varied programme of events, their proximity to and knowledge of local gay establishments and their choice of entertainment.

From romantic breaks to party weekends with friends, or even a honeymoon, if you want somewhere to truly relax and play to your heart’s content, you have plenty of great casinos and hotels to choose from.

Adam Lambert and Boyfriend Javi Break Up

Adam Lambert’s boyfriend Javi Costa Polo posted a video on Instagram stories where he says that he and Adam are no longer together

In the video, Javi explains that the distance between them was to great for the relationship to work.

“Alright people. As many of you know, we need to have a little talk about what’s going on and you just see my perspective of things… You know, Adam and I, no longer together, which breaks my heart. Because I love Adam the most. He’s the most amazing person I’ve met in my entire life.

”I will always have him and he will always have me. Sadly, I’m not a citizen of the United States. So we both decided that the best thing for me in order to keep growing and learning, I need to be in a country that gives me to right to be that.”

https://youtu.be/PM3icGCqNz8

Adam went public with his and Javi’s relationship back in March.

“We met on Instagram,“ Lambert said on the RuPaul Show and joked: “I love meeting freaks on Instagram.“

When Adam competed on ‘American Idol’ in 2009, he instantly became a hit and was on magazine covers everywhere. But the fame did not come without costs.

“There was all this energy behind being the gay guy doing it,” Adam says in an interview with Billboard. “I knew I was comfortable saying, ‘Yes, I’m gay.’ But educating the masses? I didn’t get into this business to be an educator. I just wanted to wear glitter and sing.”

The interview honors LGBTQ trailblazers, and Adam says that even though he loves talking about being a queer artist, he doesn’t want it to define him.

“So that was the thing the media wanted to talk about. I loved talking about it, but at the same time I was like, ‘Can it not precede me?’”

The groundbreaking artist also has some advice for his younger self: “‘Relax, it’s all going to be fine. You’re beautiful, you’re not ugly, you’re not going to be alone.’ There was so much shame and self-hatred. I would just try to calm myself down.”

I think that’s some wonderful advice for LGBTQ+ youth everywhere:-)

Last year, Adam was busy touring worldwide with Queen and finished recording his fourth solo album

In an interview with Client magazine, the glam star said he had worked on “three album’s worth” of songs ahead of the release, adding: “It’s different from anything I have done previously.”

“I didn’t feel tied to a trend or a genre and explored a lot more, so I think people might be surprised!”, he says. “I’m at a place where I really feel clear about who I am and what I stand for and I think that’s going to reflect in the music.”

The openly gay singer has previously spoken about the intense scrutiny he faced because of his sexuality at the beginning of his career.

“Obviously there’s still a long way to go, but there is a huge improvement,” he says in the interview.

“10 years ago, there weren’t many openly gay pop artists, and in a lot of ways people weren’t ready and I got backlash when I wasn’t really expecting it – I was just being myself and of course sometimes you do these things to prove a point more than anything.

“Now though, there’s so many pop artists who are proud of their sexuality and the sheer number of us has improved the landscape,” he added.
