Why are Jesse Archer, Mike Ruiz, Jack Mackenroth and Perez Hilton losing their pants? Because artist Paul Richmond has enlisted their modeling services for his upcoming exhibit of male pin-up paintings called CHEESECAKE. The show, which will feature oil paintings of fourteen gay male celebrities, opens at the Center on Halsted in Chicago this June.

According to Richmond, "It intrigues me that it was almost exclusively women who were depicted as hapless victims of comical wardrobe malfunctions in early pin-up art. Those ladies couldn't even walk down the street without their skirts blowing up or their underwear falling down (or both!). Meanwhile, male pin-ups by artists like Tom of Finland were generally afforded more control over their sexy shenanigans. I believe gravity and other forces conspiring to rob people of their clothing should take an equal-opportunity approach."

The BBC has announced the six acts hoping to take part in music's biggest annual extravaganza as they compete to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in Your Country Needs You! on Friday 12 March 2010 at 8.30pm on BBC One.

Performing live in the studio, the Eurovision hopefuls will be out to impress Pete Waterman – producing this year's entry with long-time collaborator Mike Stock – plus a specially-selected panel consisting of Pete, with last year's UK entrant Jade Ewen and performance-judge supremo Bruno Tonioli.

They will hear four solo singers, one all-girl trio and a five-piece group – all vying for the opportunity to sing for the UK in Oslo this May.

Pete Waterman says: "So far we've got the song and we've got six acts – now all we're waiting for is the public to get behind the search for the UK entry and then we can really get to work. But we're in it together and myself and Mike Stock are proud to be involved."

Kristian Digby has been found dead at his home.

Police have said the circumstances of the BBC daytime television presenter's death were "unexplained". He was pronounced dead at the scene when ambulance services arrived at his property in Newham, east London.

Friends reacted with shock, saying the 32-year-old was a "lovely guy" who brought a "real sense of energy and warmth to all the shows he presented".

Digby's agent Jo Wander said: "I am devastated by the loss. He was a lovely guy and a very talented presenter and director. I will miss him hugely and my thoughts at this time are with his family and his many friends. He will be sorely missed."

Pop conceiver Boy George is officially back on music’s mainstream radar for good, with his first major commercial release in over ten years.

Amazing Grace has been released by MN2S’ new label Decode Records and is already hotly tipped to storm to the top of the charts. Written by Boy George, John Themis & Kinky Roland and produced & mixed by The Sharp Boys; the single also features additional vocals by the critically acclaimed Portuguese singer Ana Lains.

Boy George needs little introduction. He first shot to international stardom in the 1980’s as the front man of one of the UK’s biggest exports - Culture Club. He has sold over 50 million albums and has had top 10 hits in every country. Singer, actor, DJ, artist, photographer, fashion designer, he has constantly reinvented himself and remains today one of the world’s most recognisable iconic figures. He recently started a new monthly drink & drug-free night club DOSE at Proud Camden. His return to live work after a 10 year absence wowed audiences and critics throughout the UK.

A complaint that a newspaper comment piece about Stephen Gately's death was "inaccurate", "intrusive" and "discriminatory" has been rejected by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC).

Andrew Cowles, Gately's civil partner, and a record 25,000 members of the public had lodged the complaint about two articles by Jan Moir, published on 16 October and 23 October last year in the Daily Mail.

The PCC said it could fully understand why Mr Cowles and other complainants were upset by the article but ruled that Ms Moir's comments had not breached press guidelines.

Gately died of natural causes due to a pulmonary oedema on October 10 last year at his holiday home on the island of Majorca.
