Gay Porn: Movie

Back in 2007, porn director Bryan Kocis was found dead in his home, and two adult-film performers were tried and found guilty of his murder.

Now the gruesome saga is being turned into a film, King Cobra, by James Franco’s production company, Event Films.

Molly Ringwald and Christian Slater have already signed on to the film, but who will play the young men, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, at the heart of the scandal?

Those roles are still unannounced, but Queer Click (NSFW) reports Disney Channel star Garrett Clayton is playing Brent Corrigan, who began making films with Kocis when he was underage and became embroiled in a legal battle with the director.

Clayton appeared on the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and Shake It Up, as well as the network’s TV movies Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2...

Can't wait.

Note how the story here has become 'former Disney child star' meets 'gay porn', no matter how small his role may be - cos funny.

Good to see that Brent - aka Sean Paul Lockhart - is now a succesful proper actor.

Update: Brent's said on Twitter he wanted nothing to do with the film.

News In Briefs: Pants!

These three stories have appeared in most of your actual gay news media in the last few days, with much the same take on them. 
I don't think any of them warrant their own blogpost, but as they've generated much babble here's my two cents. 

1. Hillary Clinton to officially accept WorldPride award
'US Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton has formally agreed to accept WorldPride’s “World LGBT Award” as the event comes to London this summer.
'Mrs Clinton will be honoured for her “outstanding contributions” to gay and transgender rights globally.
'The award will be presented at the World Pride Gala Dinner, Dine With Pride.

This report takes its cue from the press release which said; "...Hillary Rodham Clinton formally agreed to accept WorldPride’s World LGBT Award".
How would you interpret this?
That she's said she wants to come over for the award ceremony and get it?
I checked with Pride London and all that's happened is she's said she accepts the honour - as if she was going to reject it.
Have you ever heard of a press release being sent saying someone had agreed to be given an award before?
Do they do this with the Oscars?
Hmm...
Apropos of nothing tickets for the dinner cost £250. 

2. Disneyland champions gay rights in Japan
'Disneyland has become an unlikely champion of gay rights in Japan, by allowing same-sex couples to marry on its premises, even though same-sex relationships have no legal recognition in the country.'

Disney have said they will hire out a venue to a lesbian couple for cash-money for a meaningless made-up ceremony - this does not make them gay rights champions.

3. Will Smith Slaps Some Sense Into Reporter Who Tries To Kiss Him
'Rapper/Actor Will Smith was not having it when a reporter tried to kiss him on the lips at the Moscow premiere of Men in Black 3'A wacky Ukrainian journalist tried to plant one on Smith on the red carpet, but the star pushed him away and gave him a backhanded bitchslap on the face. Smith tried to stay all smiles but seemed ticked off, saying “He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.”

I would also be extremely pissed off if some unfunny jerk tried to do this to me.
Wouldn't you?
I don't think you can automatically read anything else into it (it has been interpreted as indicating/confirming he's either closeted or a homophobe).  
Incidentally, just two days before Will Smith said he supports gay marriage.
