Glorious trans icon Candis Cayne sits down with The Hollywood Reporter to talk about her childhood, her early days in New York, her transition, and the impact she’s had on Hollywood. It’s quite a talk. “It’s kind of nice to know I had a part in the turning of the tide by getting on [Dirty Sexy Money], and playing a tue character and a character that audience members could relate to. Then I started going to events in the community, and one night – I can’t remember the event – but they showed a clip of my scene with Donald Sutherland. After the scene the audience stood up and applauded. I realized then, this is so much more than just me getting a part. It was really pushing the fabric of society a little bit more forward.”

Watch it below.

When Justin Bieber made his comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last weekend, most of us were pretty perplexed at what appeared to be an emotionally charged moment as he broke down into tears afterwards.

Well, our dude was a guest on The Tonight Show last night and got an opportunity to discuss the performance, admitting that his crying moment was genuine, and due to the fact that he just wanted to be liked.

He also went up against Questlove to prove that he has some amazing skills as a drummer (which I can confirm because I’ve seen it live in person tbh.)

I hope all our Orlando queens are accounted for down in Orlando, FL! Roxxxy Andrews, you coo? Ginger Minj, you good? Anyone got eyes on Tyra Sanchez?! Hide yo wife! Hide yo kids! Hide yo husbands! There is a damn king cobra on the loose in Orlando. The eight foot long, green and yellow snake escaped from it’s ‘possibly mesh and glass’ cage in it’s owner’s home sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The Orlando Sentinel spoke to Carl Barden who owns the Reptile Discovery Center and has been extracting venom from king cobras for over 20, and he says the snakes are “shy elusive animals” and that “the chances of that snake actually biting someone are extremely remote.” He also said there was plenty of king cobra anti-venom in Central Florida. A local elementary school isn’t taking any chances and is keeping all kids inside today while the hunt for the missing snake continues. Although officials haven’t revealed who owns the home, property records show that Mike Kennedy, who’s know for Airplane Repo on the Discovery Channel, owns it with his wife Valerie. I know I’d be inside today because I just CAN’T with king cobras.

It was already a big week for David Parnes from Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles with his show premiering this week, but now we’ve just gotten news that he proposed to his girlfriend Adrian and we’ve got all the details and an EXCLUSIVE photo of the big moment!

David on how he proposed to Adrian:

I wanted to propose in Capri, Italy as its our favourite place. The energy and the scenery, the restaurants, the sea – it’s all so beautiful. I wanted to have the peace of mind that I made it as memorable as I could…. I was only going to get one shot!

I organised a boat to pick us up from the peer at 4pm, which took us on a journey around the island for a few hours. We were able to relax and unwind, joke and laugh and just be together within the most breathtaking setting.

Next we were picked up by a vintage, Italian, convertible taxi which drove us to the the lighthouse at the top of the island. When we arrived, the driver suggested we walk up a secluded pathway, which was sign posted with or names along the trail.

As we got to the top, there was a terrace, which was decorated with white and pink roses (Adrian’s favourite), champagne and chocolates. The timing was important as sunset was about to start. A gentleman playing the guitar followed us as did a photographer who was able to capture the moment that I got down on my knee as the sun disappeared into the sea. It really was incredible. Thank goodness all went perfectly and Adrian said yes!

On the ring:

The ring was designed and made by Lorraine Schwartz. She worked with me every step of the way and created the perfect ring for Adrian. Fortunately, James’ wife Valeria had been ring shopping with Adrian and she let me know which type of ring Adrian wanted.

The ring is a 4 carat, cushion cut stone, on a simple, white gold and diamond setting. Thanks to Lorraine and Valeria, Adrian LOVED it!

On how they met:

I met Adrian a little less than two years ago at Cecconi’s restaurant in West Hollywood. I was having dinner with a friend and client on the table next to her. Adrian was with a guy, however I could tell they weren’t together, it seemed more of a business meeting (I later found out that Adrian is an interior designer).

I literally couldn’t keep my eyes off of her and I kept saying to my client that I needed to get her number. He kind of laughed it off but I couldn’t seem to get the courage to ask her. Anyway she left and I took my chances, I walked outside and she was gone!

I thought to myself there’s no way I can miss this girl – I’d never felt this kind of attraction without even speaking to someone before. I went around the corner and saw her sitting in her car, so I briskly (and awkwardly) walked over to speak with her. Luckily she was so sweet and receptive and let me know she wasn’t married and she didn’t have a boyfriend. She gave me her number and the rest is history!

And to make things even better – my client was so impressed he gave me his listing on the spot. The evening had proven very successful!

On their relationship:

Adrian is a home maker and everything she creates is perfect! We have FIVE rescue dogs between us: Maxi and Bella (my Basset Hounds), L’il Mama and L’il Papa (the chihuahuas) and lastly – we just rescued another tiny little chihuahua currently named: “the baby”.

We built a house together in West Hollywood and the story will be told this season on the show so I can’t say much more on this!

Oh my god, this song was my mutha-f*ckin’ JAM! This song was number one this week WAY back in 2001. It was a good time for me. I had just started college at the University of Arkansas AND it was literally a week before everyone’s life would be changed forever with the events of September 11. It was the end of the party. Whatever happened to Ja Rule? Jennifer Lopez looks better than ever!

Fun factoid: At the very beginning when J Lo sings “R-U-L-E,” my dumb friend Lauren thought she was singing, “Are you Nelly?” HA! I was like, “What’d you call me?”

It’s been four days since the big MTV Video Music Awards extravaganza with our RuPaul’s DragRace queens, and I’m still not over the moment the glamazons stomped out onto that stage and made us all EAT IT!

Fashion icon and mother of all things cool in NYC, Patricia Field, launches a new shoe collaboration with what fashion snobs might consider the antithesis of style…Crocs! The fluffy, proprietary nonplastic resin footwear was originally created for comfort, and mostly seen on kids. That ain’t the case anymore. Field has taken it beyond, adding her pop-neon graffiti fonts which serve as a frame for her iconic graphic illustrations by artist Martine.

“My decision to collaborate with Crocs is based on my belief that Crocs’ method of shoe-making is what I call ‘The Shoes of the Future'”, says Field. “This is because the method is high-tech, with a cost efficient manufacturing process, and of course, high durability. I believe that it is a world concept for shoes, and that the molding process will find it’s way into the wearing apparel, revolutionizing the fashion industry.”

Yes, Mina Gerges (@KeepingUpWithMina) says she can turn a curtain into a $10,000 dress and told the Huffington Post;

@KeepingUpWithMina is a project I started on Instagram because I don’t like societal expectations that confine how we’re supposed to act, dress, or look in order to fit in. In doing these pictures, I found freedom from restricting gender binaries and learned to celebrate something I love doing.

What started out as a hobby using my sister’s hand-me-down makeup turned into a liberating and creative outlet for me to turn towels, curtains, and garbage bags into celebrity’s most intricate red carpet dresses and elaborate photoshoots.

The DIY budget looks are pretty dead on. You can see more of her crazy doppleganger looks and follow Mina on Instagram here.

If you’ve been watching Island Hunters on HGTV, then YOU KNOW the jaw-droppingly sumptuous private islands that are out there on the market. Every week on our Island Report, we’re bringing you a hot new property you DIDN’T see on the show. This week we have one that is truly on another level: Buck Island in the British Virgin Islands! You’ll be blown away by the photos…

ABOUT BUCK ISLAND

Sitting just off the south-east of Tortola along the Sir Francis Drake Channel, 43-acre Buck Island is the most luxurious, exclusive freehold private island estate in all of the Caribbean. Its breath-taking terrain consists in vertical cliffs and soft white sand beaches perfect for exploring and admiring. With lavish accommodations both spacious and meticulously designed, the residence – host to royalty and dignitaries – houses upwards of 20 occupants, providing a variety of unique spaces for people to converge.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Collectively, the island residence has seven suites that can host upwards of fourteen people:

The Main House has 2 bedroom suites that can accommodate up to 4.

The Master Suite includes 1 bedroom with 2 large porches, a study with attached conference room, and a drawing room with porch.

The Two-Bedroom suite has a kitchen, sitting and dining area on the upper level, and the garage, wine cellar, and staff office.

The Two Guest Cottages accompany the infinity edge pool that overlooks the Sir Francis Drake Channel.

THE BEACH AREA

The Beach and Boat Houses are centered on the island’s private, white sand beach. The Beach house includes a barbeque area and kitchen building with an external dining space. The Boat House is stocked with a variety of recreational equipment.

GETTING THERE

1000 feet from Tortola, Buck Island allows the most direct boat transportation from Tortola of any island in the BVI. Beef Island Airport (EIS), Tortola is a stone’s throw away, serving commercial flights from San Juan-Puerto Rico (SJU), St Thomas-USVI (STT), St Martin/St Maarten (SXM), and Antigua (ANU), as well as private jets. Upon arrival, the local island transportation and yacht can take you from the airport to Buck Island in minutes.

The boys from AsapSCIENCE are back, this time with a list of surprising things that can kill you. For instance, did you know it takes 70 cups of coffee to kill a 150lb person? And that while 13 consecutive shots of alcohol can be lethal, drinking six consecutive litres of WATER is just as deadly? Also: Never, ever bite into a cherry pit, of course. One or two ground cherry pits contain enough cyanide to topple you. And try not to eat 85 full-sized chocolate bars in one sitting. You’ll be unable to metabolize the Theobromine in the chocolate and will, you guessed it, DIE.

Of course the takeaway from this episode is how much pot you need to ingest before you die. Luckily, it’s A LOT. You’d have to eat 48lbs of marijuana before it becomes lethal. If you smoke it, the amount to overdose is comically high: approximately half a ton within 15 minutes – which is why there has never been a single documented death due to consuming too much marijuana.

Watch the episode below.

Step aside, Jonah Falcon! There’s a new record-holding giant weiner in town: Roberto Esquivel Cabrera of Saltillo, Mexico whose penis is reportedly 48.2 centimeters (nearly 19 inches) long and the tip’s circumference is 25 centimeters (nearly 10 inches) – and, poor thing, it’s making him MISERABLE.

“Look where it is, it goes far below the knees,” Mr Cabrera sobbed to the press this past weekens. “I cannot do anything, I cannot work, and I am disabled so I want authorities to declare me as a disabled person and give me support.”

His social life is dismal as well, he says as women are too scared to be with him, so he had never had a long-term girlfriend, let alone a wife. (Although I’m sure he’s getting plenty of offers from the boys right about now…)

Saya AustralianNews.com:

In 2011 Mr Cabrera was deported from US to Saltillo in the north-eastern Mexican state of Coahuila, where he lives alone in a room given to him by his brothers. He survives on social assistance and scavenges for food and materials on waste dumps. He has no friends and says people “shun” him wherever he goes.

Before his record was made official, Mr Cabrera had a medical examination and X-ray of his phallus to support his application for disability. Doctors at a medical institution in Saltillo have confirmed the scan is genuine, The Mirror reported.

Some experts have suggested Mr Cabrera consider a shaft reduction operation but it is not clear what his thoughts are on the subject.

The previous record holder for penis length was an American called Johan Falcon, whose 13.38 inch manhood (34cm) was dwarfed by Mr Cabrera’s.

And here’s some interesting food for thought, to help you get a visual on the size of his dong: At 19 inches, Roberto’s penis is two-inches shorter than the world’s smallest man! Mr Cabrera’s story and struggle for help is to be published in a book called El Sordido Pudor, which translates as “Sordid Shyness”.

This year, the party stretches over 3 days, kicking off with the crowning of Mz. Bushwig 2015 at the Bushwig Ball on Friday, September 11; and the main event on Saturday with drag icon Lady Bunny (the creator of Wigstock), and Sunday with Mr. Twin Sister.

Jim Brofft

You’ve seem the memes of clerk Kim Davis, mainly about her dowdy appearance and the fact that she OBVIOUSLY doesn’t know any gay people. Well, the owner of Jim Brofft Salon Central in Cincinnati, has issued an offer to color, cut and style—for free—the hair of Ms. Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who was jailed on Thursday for contempt of court after she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Brofft says;

“She could really use a boost in color and a flattering cut. God gave her Beelzebub-brown hair. I can give it shape. Pizazz. Highlights!”

Brofft said that an appointment for his services, gratis, would give Davis exposure to a gay person in a relaxed, non-contentious environment…

“Maybe after a hour with me in her jail cell she will see that homosexuals are just like everyone else, except we tend to be better at fixing problem hair.”

Regarding Davis’s current hair style, Brofft repeated Davis’ own quote about gay marriage:

“It’s not of God.”

Why give a freebie to a woman who refused her governmental duty to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples? Brofft explained that compassion and communication are the best ways to bridge the gap.

“I believe in the transformative power of great style. Kim will look in the mirror after a hair makeover and see not only a more beautiful woman, but perhaps one who can open her heart and accept that gay people deserve to love and marry…just as she loved and married each of her four husbands.”

Bless you, Jim –are doing God’s work!

Just in time for Labor Day Weekend, Flazéda (it’s a real thing) has come up with some new Drag Queen Cocktails! But not just any drag queens, but some of your faves from RuPaul’s Drag Race. Below are their recipes, but honestly, some of these sound REALLY DEADLY. So, PLEASE DRAG RESPONSIBLY … and Please Don’t Drink, Drag and Race! Happy Labor Day, kids!

Violet Chachki
25ml Tanqueray export gin
Briottet violette
Lemon Juice
Sugar syrup
Maraschino syrup

A cherry popping, come-through-inducing, waist-cinching drink. Low on calories and high in class, this drink will ensure you feel like a winning queen. Have a few too many of these and you’ll end up chatting up yourself. Is that conceited?

Alaska Thunderfuck 5000
25ml Vanilla vodka
Strawberry purée
Cranberry juice
Grenadine
Top with cotton candy

Got a sweet tooth? Inspired by Alaska’s cloud look, this candy floss cocktail serves diabetic realness. Her ethereal looks and light sensical humour makes this drink fitting.

Ginger Minj
25ml Peach schnapps
25ml Absolut Peach
Ginger shavings
Grapefruit juice
Orange juice

With enough vitamins to cure scurvy, this fruity concoction is perfect for breakfast. Ginger’s herbaceous drink reflects her sweetness during her time on season 7.

Max
Courvisier VS
Cointreau
Lemon juice

Classic sidecar, darling. Probably most likely to be watching a timeless black and white film, Max’s concoction will most likely make you feel as if you’re a James Bond girl. Be sophisticated and remember: shaken, not stirred.

Katya
7 shots of vodka

Why waste time? Just get straight to the Russian point.

Sharon Needles
25ml Absinthe
25ml Black Sambuca
Dash pumpkin spice
Top with tomato juice

Disclaimer: will most likely kill you. Sharon Needles’ twist on the classic Bloody Mary will result in. Say her name three times in the mirror and she will appear.

Milk
25ml Koko Kanu/Coconut rum
25ml Absolut Vanilla
Milk
Cream

Yeah, I know, a cheap and predictable move. The queen of lactose and avant garde drag deserves a White Russian with an American twist. The coconut alcoholic milkshake

Bianca Del Rio
25ml dark rum
25ml St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
Sugar syrup
Angostura Bitters
Mint
Brown sugar
Soda water

Top with fundamental reading and a nice side of shade. A twist on a beloved drink for a beloved queen with a twist. ALL HAIL BIANCA.

There are two queen’s cocktails who had no ingredients… to see who they are go here. And I have one question? You’re called “Flazéda”, but no Pearl cocktail? Why the hell not? (via Flazéda)

Today is World Beard Day, and The Wow Reports asks the musical question,

“Is ANY man sexier with a beard?”

Well, if you’re already good-looking, it works. If you have less than movie-star looks, it adds a “manly dude” vibe to almost anybody. It’s not EVERYONE’S cup of tea, to be sure, but in that case of these leading men, that basement pump better be in working order.

James Yates and William Smith, Jr. sued Kim Davis for being refused a marriage license SIX TIMES since July. They also asked the Rowan County Attorney to file a charge of official misconduct against Davis. Yesterday, just after 8:00 AM, the couple, together nine years, finally were able to obtain a marriage license, becoming the first couple — same-sex or different-sex — to do so in Rowan County since the Supreme Court ruled same-sex couples have a civil right to marriage. Kinda makes you teary, huh? Couldn’t be happier for these two. So is Twitter.
