(Is anyone else turned on right…

When Steve Jobs sold his functioning liver to the Devil in exchange for the iPhone, his first thought probably wasn’t, “I bet someone will create apps that ease no-strings-attached sexual encounters.” Just kidding, he’s a savvy dude so I’m sure he knew right away people would use the device for…

Please say it isn’t so! Just when we thought at least one couple would survive in Hollywood, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith might be on the way out. There are rumors that the couple is “separating.” Although the comely pair recently denied such rumors, we all know this is…
Meteorological experts have called August “the month when hurricanes are almost as brutal as my divorce (as in when my wife tires of my fearmongering and drawing trajectory cones on her belly as we make love).” If a nasty, hard-core hurricane is going to strike, it’ll probably be this month. Katrina…
Admittedly, our gaydar at Cultist is not always what it should be. We still think Justin Bieber is straight, maybe even Charlie Crist. So we don’t mind admitting we were floored yesterday when we found out about a petition started by an Illinois resident to “allow” Bert and Ernie to…

There are many ways to battle: via clamors and guns, via rap a la 8 Mile, and in a spirited dance-off. In the world of Montreal performance troupe Cirque Éloize, rival gangs choose to battle via a circus-off — or, more aptly, a cirque-off. In iD, which opens tonight at…

Any asshole can streak. Any hippie can get au naturel for a still-life drawing class. And any shameless baby-boomer with a gut so large he has no idea he’s playing hacky-sack with his own nuts can go to Haulover Beach. But that’s boring — activities for nudie novices! Today, on the…
It’s all pretext. All of it. The beaches. The sun in the fun clichés. The models. The palm trees. The nightlife. Even the heat. The prevailing logic for why Miami is among the premiere destinations for travelers from across the globe is all bullshit. The real reason everybody wants to…
Pretend for a moment that Sarah Palin is elected president. Within mere moments, the United States will revert to total chaos the likes of which the Mad Max screenwriters would’ve traded two, maybe three kilos of coke for a glimpse of. And we’re fucking psyched. Not for Palin, no. We…
Queers all over the states are cheering the fact that New York has legalized same-sex marriage, although, considering it is New York, you’d think they had jumped on the bandwagon before, oh, we don’t know, Iowa, maybe?Either way, it is a fantastic reason to celebrate (eight states down, only 42…
Hooray New York! (Imagine a chorus snapping fingers!) The state became the largest and most important in the union to allow same sex marriages last week. But we have to admit, watching the measure pass made us a bit jealous. After all, Miami is just as gay as New York,…
In The Princess Bride, as Buttercup prepares to commit suicide with a dagger, Westley says, “There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.” What a mensch! Well, this weekend, you have a chance to meet Cary Elwes, the actor who played…
