Teen Wolf's Colton Haynes Covers Bello Mag #27

In case you missed it (which I did), Colton Haynes was on the cover of the most recent issue of Bello Mag.  In the issue, Colton gets out of his sweaty lacrosse gear and all dolled-up in a tux.  The photos were snapped by Alek and Steph and the styling was handled by Warren Alife Baker.  (via belloblog)

MTV's Teen Wolf Episode 10 Recap: Testosterone Abounds

"Why the Hell is it always so dark in this locker room?"

Since I am sitting in Starbucks (again) and dealing with a crappy Wi-fi connection because of all the other dweebs (like myself) that are clogging up the Internets, I have to base my assessment of this episode on the few minutes that I was able to watch.  And let's be honest, most of you are here just because of the screengrabs and really couldn't give two sh*ts about what actually happened on the show.  What I do know is, teen wolf Scott ends up meeting the Alpha wolf in a darkened and empty locker room.  Obviously, the alpha is the wolf that turned Scott and possibly also Jackson (if he ends up becoming a werewolf, which I am sure he will); the alpha is also the uncle of Derek and the murderer of Derek's sister.  The show is still about as swishy as a Bruce Weber Abercrombie photoshoot in the mid-late 90s (mostly due to the heavily-skewed ratio of male to female characters in this show, and the fact that the male characters are shirtless at least once an episode), but there aren't any complaints yet as the show remains essentially PG-13.  As long as we don't see any simulated sex scenes (Skins, anyone?), the Parents Television Council (AKA The Sexually-Dissatisfied Middle-Aged Suburbanites of America Foundation) will keep quiet.  At this point, there is no question that MTV will bring Teen Wolf back for a second season so it is only a matter of how many accessory characters the writers can introduce to keep the story moving along.

"Do you need me to... um... lotion your back for you, bro?"

"Right here, on the hood of the car?  In broad daylight?"

"I'm the Alpha's main man, not you, Jackson."

MTV's Teen Wolf Episode 9 Recap: Bite Me, Or I'll Steal Your Girlfriend

"You're putting that probe WHERE?"

That's basically what Jackson (played by Colton Haynes) tells Scott (played by Tyler Posey) when he realizes that Scott is a werewolf.  Prior to that, we get to see a pretty cool scene in which Jackson imagines that a doctor is pulling a vine of wolf's bane (or a bunch of weeds, it wasn't really clear) out of his back, while Jackson lays naked and face down on the examination table.  Oh yes.  The homoeroticism is not over.  Not by a long shot.  Essentially, Jackson realizes that he was attacked by a werewolf (about three episodes ago) and he knows that Scott is a werewolf and he threatens to steal Scott's on-again-off-again girlfriend Allison if Scott does not transform him into a werewolf.  Because becoming a werewolf is just that easy.  While Scott tries to patch things up with Allison (who also is in possession of a necklace, which serves as a clue), there still remains the lingering issue of who the "Alpha" is and what exactly he wants with Scott.  Eventually, the identity of the Alpha is revealed, but you'll have to watch the episode on MTV.com to find out (or just wait until next week's episode)!

"Stiles, if you don't shut up you're going to end up gagged and spread-eagled on the hood of this car, homey!"

"I want a jock that fits, asshole!"

"You mean I don't need a prostate exam?  But... but I was looking forward to it!"

What's with the consistently creepy doctors on these shows?

MTV's Teen Wolf Episode 6 Recap: PMS For Dudes

"I knew having lunch at the Olive Garden was a bad idea!!!"

On MTV's Teen Wolf, protagonist Scott has an "A Ha!" moment when he realizes that "anger" is what precipitates his transformation into a teen wolf.  Duh.  This has been done before, like Bruce Banner in "The Hulk" or He-Man, etc. (actually, I don't remember much about He-Man, but don't question me).  Scott's mentor  Derek believes that Scott's love interest Allison is a distraction and recommends that he stays away from her, but Scott can't seem to keep away.  Meanwhile, Jackson (who was scratched by a werewolf in the last episode and has begun to notice transformations in himself) decides to befriend Scott and Allison, allegedly because he's tired of being a jerk, but Allison suspects an ulterior motive (and it goes without saying that she's probably right).  This motley crew of characters will become even more motley when the identity of the Alpha (the werewolf that bit Scott and likely also Jackson) is revealed.  Is it the ambiguously gay teacher in the dark sunglasses?  Is it the mysterious veterinarian at the local animal hospital who seems to know an awful lot about "mountain lions"?  Is Elton John secretly a member of the cast and looking for young boys to fondle now that married bliss has become less blissful?  Is... forget about it... I'm running out of witty things to say.  Teen Wolf is gayer than ever and I can't stop watching!

"Just admit it, bro.  You don't find me attractive..."

"When the Alpha comes, he better be ready for my eleven inch..."

MTV's Teen Wolf Episode 5 Recap: What Happens In The Locker Room, Stays In The Locker Room

Jackson feels the touch of a werewolf.

If you were wondering if MTV's Teen Wolf could get any gayer (more gay?) than the answer is: "Yes".  There is a shirtless locker room scene, hair-pulling, lots of testosterone, and guys wanting other guys to tell they are attractive.  In this week's episode, lacrosse star Jackson finds himself an unwilling bottom to the town's local werewolf, presumably the same "alpha" that bit protagonist Scott McCall.  Meanwhile, Scott finds out that the girl that he likes is seventeen (a year older than all of the other main characters on the show).  Derek, Scott's werewolf friend, needs to find out what actually happened to Jackson in the video shop (at the beginning of the episode) and corners him in the locker room.  Honestly, all jokes aside, Teen Wolf is not nearly as gay as I suggest with my posts on the subject, but this locker room scene (and the scene that immediately proceeded it) are much gayer than what one might expect in this type of show.  The scene was oddly reminiscent of the Brotherhood series of films (with all of the shirtless jocks, double entendres, and miscellaneous innuendo).  Anyway, the show is heating up and the acting and writing have not slacked off, which is often the case.  Still waiting for one of these guys to come out of the closet.

"If you need a shoulder to cry on, my apartment's right down the street."

"Dude, do you find me attractive?" [He actually said this on the show]

"Now, where did I leave my AXE body spray..."

Teen Wolf Episode 4 Recap: There's So Much Testosterone In These Boys They Have To Be on Steroids

Jackson suspects Derek of being on steroids.

Being a "teen wolf" might be fun if you had a support network consisting of parents that were also wolves, but all Scott, the protagonist of MTV's new series Teen Wolf, has for advice is a brooding wolf named Derek who doesn't know his ass from his elbow.  In this week's episode, Derek is shot with a mysterious bullet by wolf hunters while in pursuit of the alpha wolf, weakening him.  Before nearly passing out in the school parking lot, Derek is cornered by Jackson (played by Colton Haynes), who is convinced that he and Scott must be on steroids.  The combination of all the dudes in the cast and the testosterone reference certainly isn't altering my perception of the show so far ("It's so gay, but it's so good").  Meanwhile, Scott has his own problems to deal with as he and his crush Allison have a study date coming up.  Can he prevent himself from transforming as she puts the moves on him?  Will Scott and Derek find the alpha wolf and clear the suspicions leveled against them?

Jackson knows something is not right with Derek.

Teen Wolf Episode 3 Recap: Gay Lycanthropy, For Beginners

"Oh my god, did I really kill that guy while in my gay wolf form?"

Reviews for Teen Wolf thus far have been mixed.  People under the age of seventeen seem to love it, while those over the age of thirty can't seem to get over the fact that the "teen wolf" does not come from a family of teen wolves as he did in the original movie/TV show and hate it.  What people over the age of thirty are doing watching this in the first place is beyond me (though I'm getting close myself).  I wanted to call this post "And Yet More Gayness", since I counted three gay references in the first ten minutes of the show and I am now convinced that protagonist Scott's BFF Stiles is going to come out of the closet by the end of the season, but I'll let events unravel in their time.  In this week's episode of Teen Wolf, Scott worries that he might have severely injured an innocent man while in wolf form and so he corners Derek, the other wolf in town, who tells Scott that he can teach him how to control his powers.  Things get even more complicated when Scott finds himself roped into a double date with captain of the lacrosse team Jackson (AKA Colton Haynes of XY fame).  Considering the strong undercurrent of homoerotic imagery in the show, this episode basically was "Gay Lycanthropy, For Beginners".  Hmmm... maybe someone wants to... erm... give a young struggling writer a hefty advance to write a book with that title...  Just a suggestion.

"Yeah, my bone structure is way too amazing to be double-dating with you geeks.  Plus, I secretly like the ding-dong."

Gay Sexual Tension On MTV's Teen Wolf

Being a teen wolf means that you have to spend most of your time shirtless.  Obviously.

With the success of the Twilight movies, now is the perfect time for a revival of the Teen Wolf phenomenon of the 80s, or at least that is the idea that MTV is banking on with their new series.  This time around, the Teen Wolf, transformed by the bite of a werewolf in the woods, plays the super-cool sport of lacrosse instead of basketball, and this foray into the supernatural stars a kid named Tyler Posey, instead of Michael J. Fox.  And "No", Tyler Posey has no relation to 90s "It Girl" Parker Posey (one can hope, right?).  This series is a lot better than you might expect considering that it is airing on MTV and its target demographic is girls 12-20.  The show tells the tale of Scott McCall, a goofy teenager in California whose life makes a 180 when he is bitten by a werewolf.  He meets an awesome new girl, suddenly becomes good at lacrosse, no longer has asthma, and wakes up shirtless in the woods several times a week.  There is even some kind of gay jock tension between Scott and Jackson, the star of the lacrosse team.  The producers could have taken this a different way (especially since Jackson is played by the now infamous Colton Haynes, the model in resurfaced XY spread from 2006), but we wouldn't want the Parents Television Council throwing a hissy fit like they did over Skins.  Watch the show if you want to find out what else happens.  It's fascinating how good the young actors are and they all have gay porn star names... like Tyler Posey and Colton Haynes!

I hope you realize that thousands of teenage boys are watching this show, MTV.

Teen Wolf Actor Colton Haynes Embroiled In Controversy Over Old XY Photos

This is an interesting story.  It turns out that one of the young actors of MTV's new series Teen Wolf (which is set to premiere in North America on June 5th) is the subject of controversy now that it has surfaced that he was featured in an editorial for gay youth magazine XY way back in March 2006.  In the photos, Colton Haynes is seen shirtless kissing another shirtless model.  This does not count as remotely pornographic in my book, but the usual conservative groups must be up to their usual shenanigans because Colton Haynes' lawyer has threatened action against blogs if they do not take down the photos.  I have decided to be ballsy and post the pics here too because, frankly, I had not heard of the kid before this and his lawyer should be happy at the publicity.  There are thousands of us that now know who Colton Haynes is that did not know only a day or two ago.  I just realized that Colton is one of the guys in the recent issue of VMAN (which I purchased solely for Alex Pettyfer) and he's definitely a grade A looker.  (via queerty)  [UPDATE: Images removed for the time being due to alleged copyright infringement.  Sorry, guys!]
