@ErnestPierce’s Underwear Scene Steals On @DTLATheSeries Premiere Episode According To Twitter

Though the results on social media were mixed about the new TV series “DTLA” debut on LOGO this Wednesday, there was one clear stand out in the show’s first episode.  Viewers salivated over the unintentionally hot scene where Stefan (played by Ernest Pierce) engaged in an intense conversation with his best friend Lenny (played by Darryl Stephens) over the state of Lenny’s suspicions of his lover Bryan’s unusual activities which may lead up to cheating.  In the conversation, Stefan arrogantly boasts about his own boyfriend Trey (played by JC  Jones) is disposable when he fails to hold his weight financially in the household.

The scene-stealing moment had little to do with the troubling conversation between Stefan and Lenny, but rather what Stefan wore during the phone call.  I am unable to provide or locate a screen picture, but imagine this.  A tall, well-sculpted masculine male with a richly dark [and seemingly smooth] complexion wearing nothing but a pair of the boldest blue boxer briefs caressing every shape of his covered skin including his perfectly round, thick buttocks.  [Excuse me while I must fan myself after giving my best Blanche Devereaux description of this beautiful actor.  Is he single, by the way???]

If you want the visuals, make sure you catch up on the first episode below or skip to the 28:30 mark.  Also, check a snippet of the Twitter feed below.

TV REVIEW: @DTLATheSeries Gets Mixed Reviews On Twitter; I Agree!

October 25, 2012 INTERNET & SOCIAL MEDIA, TV & FILM No comments
DTLA

Have you watched the highly anticipated TV series “DTLA” on LOGO TV yet?  Well, the season premiere just wrapped up.  Like many LOGO TV viewers, I was looking forward to watching this show.  I must admit that the premiere episode was underwhelming considering the hype that built the anticipation of this show.

The few things I liked about the were the attractive casts, scene locations and…Darryl Stephens’ acting.  Stephens’ acting on “DTLA” matured lightyears ahead of his stint on the cult-classic “Noah’s Arc” series, where I was annoyed with his faux voice and overly soft mannerisms.  Stephens comes across as universally attractive and believable as a lead actor in “DLTA”; though his script, like the rest of the cast, seemed all over the place.  Besides my shallow comment about the cast’s attractiveness, “DTLA” is the first series, in my recent recollection, where an entire ensemble of actors can actually act.

Conversely, the show’s progression and script seemed contrived, uninspiring, scatterbrained…and simply painful to follow.  The first 30 minutes of the show played out to a long and lifeless opening scene, where the plot appeared to be random and figuring out on what idea to run with as the episode carried.  Ultimately, the point of the episode was to center around the challenging relationship between main characters Lenny (Stephens) and Bryan (Matthew Stephen Hendrick).  Thus, the show’s subplots involving the other characters seemed like random fillers.

I will watch next week’s episode before I count this one out.  Hopefully, the script and plots will pick up steam and energize the show to a deserve cast of very talented actors.

On Twitter, the show trended consistently where the reviews upon checking at the show’s 50-minute mark were very mixed.  Many of the earlier Twitter message reviews the show negatively using adjectives such as “boring” “confusing” and “low budget.”  Upon the closing of the first episode, positive commentators saved their assessments until then.

Check them out.

Nathan James Unleashes “15 Most Powerful Gay Celebrities Of 2012″

April 9, 2012 CONTROVERSY, LGBT MEDIA No comments
Tracy Chapman

Nathan James is one of America’s leading independent journalists when issues and agendas regarding LGBT people of color need to be in the forefront.  His research and reporting is his brand of advocacy that he shares with readers of GBM News and listeners of the online radio mainstay Da Doo Dirty Show.

In 2011, James issued his first annual round-up of the “most powerful” players within the LGBT community people of color.  As most rankings and lists, the article gained a lot of attention and mostly criticism by playing favorites to people he knew personally and people who are questionable about their loyalty to the Black LGBT community.  With the aforementioned points, the list was one of the first of its kind that put a comprehensive spotlight on living LGBT people of color for readers to admire and get better acquainted — and not coming from a mainstream source that uses the same names routinely.

James just released a brand new list of his picks for the most influential icons and pioneers with the ”15 Most Powerful Gay Celebrities Of 2012.”  We are certain there will be a great debate as the list contains only residents of New York and TV personalities who are Black, sans George Takei.  Nonetheless, this is one of the few lists create by a LGBT person of color that actually highlights the accomplishments of the men, women and transgender people in the gay community.

Including Takei, illuminaries including CNN anchor Don Lemon, pop culture phenom RuPaul, comedian Wanda Sykes, singer/songwriter Tracy Chapman, legendary performer/activist Kevin Aviance and award-winning journalists LZ Granderson, Clay Cane and Emil Wilbekin made the list.

Check out the entire list here.
