My boo David Hauslaib (who edits the gay interest site Queerty) was invited to the CNN bureau here in NYC earlier today to be interviewed about President Barack Obama’s commitment (or lack thereof) to GLBT issues here in the US and his appearance has been posted on CNN.com. Watch the video below to hear David (and Huffington Post writer Jose Antonio Vargas) discuss the matter with CNN correspondent Reggie Aqui:

While I don’t always agree with David on all matters, there is no denying that he is absolutely well-spoken and quite knowledgeable on these matters. GLBT issues are at the forefront of water-cooler discussions right now and it is my hope that all of this attention will work towards advancing equal rights for all citizens in this country. It cannot always happen overnight but a hearty and educated on-going discussion of the issues can go a long way to affecting change. I’m glad that CNN had the foresight to invite David to speak on this matter today because they’d be hard-pressed to find someone to better speak on these issues. He did a great job, didn’t he?

I couldn’t let the day pass without sending some Birthday Lurve to a favorite around here on Pink is the new Blog … Mr. Hugh Jackman. Considering all the wonderful entertainment Jackman brings us seemingly on a daily basis, the least we can do is send some lurve his way today on his birthday:

As this HAWT screencap from his movie Australia illustrates, there is a lot to celebrate today … Hugh Jackman is 41 years old and he looks damn good, don’t you think? I hope all y’all will join me in sending Happy Birthday wishes and lots of lurve to Hugh today. Here’s to many more birthdays and lots of shirtless yumminess in the years to come!!

Shakira, the She-Wolf herself, is featured in the pages of the new issue of i-D magazine. Wearing an outfit that looks like it was worn in her She-Wolf video, Shak shows i-D mag what the people want:

I think it is physically impossible for Ms. Shakira to close her mouth … and it looks like she is planning to ride that sexy open pouty mouth thing for as long and as hard as she can. I, personally, would like to see her diversify but … if it ain’t broke.

Earlier today we saw photos of Heidi Klum and Seal’s children enjoying a day of fun at the pumpkin patch and now we get to see another celeb family gettin’ in on the pumpkin pickin’ fun as well. Buffyverse alum (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) David Boreanaz, his wife Jaime and son Jaden Rayne were spotted at the pumpkin patch over the weekend. Here are a few pics of the Boreanaz bunch making their jack-o-lantern choice:

As you may know, David and Jaime welcomed the birth of their daughter Bardot Vita at the end of August but she was clearly left at home for this outing. I’m sure the fam is planning to have an extra special first Hallowe’en for little Bardot … and it all starts with picking the perfect pumpkin :)

Lawd … yesterday was a very bizzy day for me. As you prolly already know, David and I made our way down to Washington DC early yesterday morning to participate at the National Equality March and then came straight back to NYC so that we could attend Kylie Minogue’s first NYC concert EVER at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night:

The show, once again, was freakin’ fantastic. David and I got to see Kylie in Oakland, CA and then again in Hollywood, CA and last night’s show was JUST AS FUN as the previous two. My friend Tony, who is also here in town to see the Kylie shows, managed to get right up front and took a whole bunch of amazing photos. After the jump, check out some of his photos — trust me, they are deffo worth checking out …
