Mark your calendars! The New Normal returns on January 8th with the gorgeous Matt Bomer guest starring. If you haven't watched this show you are missing out. It follows a gay couple played by Andrew Rannells and Justin Bartha as they have a baby via a surrogate. It's funny, heartwarming, and tackles issues of discrimination head on.

Should Matt Bomer Play Christian Grey?

      Matt Bomer fans are getting excited about the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey Movie. The debate rages on over who should play the mercurial Mr. Christian Grey. There are countless Facebook and fan pages dedicated to getting Matt Bomer the part.
      While Matt himself hasn't commented on whether or not he would accept the role, his White Collar costar Willie Garson has put his two cents in. He tweeted the following 

Willie Garson on FSOG: @Mad4fifty We don’t respond well to the insanity of the book and Matt together, and also bothering others of us about either, thx

    While he doesn't seem to be in favor of Matt playing the part, he makes it clear in the following video that it isn't because of Matt's sexuality.

    Bret Easton Ellis, who was originally in the running to be the screenwriter for the film adaptation, lost the job to Kelly Marcel because of comments he made via twitter about Matt Bomer. He stated that Matt could not play the part because he is gay.

   There are other candidates for the part of Christian that have fans shouting for their favorites. The other top two contenders are Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill. There have been countless polls for people to vote for their dream guy to play Christian, so why not join in on the fun. You can vote for your favorite at the top of this page. Poll ends November 30, 2012.
    My choice is obvious.

 There are some Matt Bomer fans who feel he shouldn't accept the part if it is offered. Some feel that it wouldn't be good for his career or that the part isn't a good fit for him. Please feel free to leave a comment. Should Matt Bomer portray Christian Grey?

Matt spoke about his part in the movie . “It becomes the story of unconditional love in a romantic relationship under fire,” he says. “I have never felt a responsibility to get a role right more than this. We want the movie to be unflinchingly truthful.”

     
   Matt is also playing in an upcoming drama called Winter's Tale. It's based on the 1983 novel by Mark Helperin. The story is about a thief  (Colin Farrell) who breaks into a dying woman's home and how they eventually become lovers.

Magic Mike DVD Will Release October 23rd

Pardon me while I wipe away the drool.Ten days and counting until the release of Magic Mike on Dvd on October 23rd. I hope everyone has a Blu Ray player however, because the extended dance scenes are only featured on Blu Ray, not on the Dvd.

You can watch one of Matt Bomer's deleted scenes below. Matt Bomer as a Ken Doll, how the hell can they cut this? 

In the meantime there have been some amazing pictures going around of Matt as the Ken Doll.

Matt and Simon Accept GLSEN Award

  Matt Bomer and his husband Simon Halls accepted the Inspiration Award from the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. They received it for meaningful contributions toward creating a world where every child learns to respect and accept all people. Matt and Simon are raising three sons together.

You can watch their acceptance speech here.

Matt talked about growing up gay in a Texas high school.

"When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind, so I did what any self-preserving 14-year-old would do—I signed up for the school play and also the football team to cover my tracks. When that happens, when you aren't allowed to speak about who you are, one of the most authentic parts of who you are, which is who you love or is who you're attracted to, feels invisible. GLSEN gives visibility and authenticity to kids all across the country."

Simon spoke about what their children have taught him.

 "Having kids teaches you so many things, and one of the things we both have learned in our parenting journey is how loving and accepting and open children's minds and hearts are. Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule. Kids aren't born to be bullies, they're taught to be bullies."

Congratulations to Matt and Simon.

Summer Finale! The Bromance is Back

     White Collar is on break until January. Sniff.

    They didn't end on quite as much of a cliffhanger as they usually do. I think most people assumed Sam would be Neal's dad, although I thought it was too obvious to be true.

It was an emotionally charged episode though. Those awkward scenes where Peter is trying to get Neal to talk to him were almost hard to watch. But in the end the bromance was back.

How heartbreaking was Neal's face when they were watching the tape of Ellen?

Matt Bomer Early Years

Do you wonder what Matt looked like before he appeared on television? No surprise he was always a cutie. I think I prefer his more mature look now though.

Fans Want Matt Bomer to Play Christian Grey

    If you search the name Matt Bomer it's hard to miss how many fans are behind Matt for this role. It's sad there has been controversy surrounding it, but it's not unexpected. I think it shows why stars aren't all that eager to discuss their private lives.
    Bret Easton Ellis (author) tweeted about his belief that Matt is "too gay" for the part.

    Fortunately, his bigoted opinion no longer matters as Easton is now out of the running as a possible screenwriter for Fifty Shades of Grey.
While the lead actors haven't been cast yet, Matt Bomer's fans are rallying their support. There are countless conversations, Facebook pages, fan art, and fan created movie trailers on Youtube featuring Matt as Christian Grey.
    The following magazine cover was believed by some to be real before it was revealed to be an amazing  piece of fan art. What a great picture of him!

   

The magazine cover, and the video below were created by Dann, who also runs the facebook page www.facebook.com/MattBomerAsChirstianGrey 

 
     

Gloves Off

A sweaty and shirtless Matt? What more can you ask for?

   Tonight's episode was exciting to say the least. We don't get to see a furious Neal very often and it was intense! While I love that usual charming smile it's good to see a range of emotions from Matt Bomer this season.
    Are we being led to believe that Sam is Neal's father ? Or could he be one of the crooked cops and Ellen's killer?
