Well, at least Perez Hilton said so.
Rogen, who’s lost a significant amount of weight for his role in The Green Hornet, would be only the 9th guy to be featured on Playboy’s cover. Playboy won’t yet confirm or deny the rumors.
Chubby chasers and fat stoners rejoice!

Pinups is a New York-based gay ‘zine that features photography centerfolds of different men every issue. The pages pull out to form a large life size poster.
Queerty interviewed Christopher Shulz, the photographer who began Pinups, about the history of the magazine and the unique format. The beginnings sound a lot like the early days of Q Mag (i.e. Xerox printing, no money, and stapling issues together).
SCHULZ: When I started, I knew nothing about printing or how to lay out the pages. It took me a year to experiment with the format and contact printers before I put out the first issue. Originally I intended on printing it on newsprint and have it come apart much like a newspaper. I got nowhere with printers, and was so frustrated that I hit a point where I realized that if I don’t print it the old fashion “‘zine” way (Xerox) then it would never happen. The first year I printed the magazines using a Xerox printer. The magazine is now printed on an offset press.
Pinups Issue #8 has its official launch on Sat, Jan. 24 at Printed Matter, NYC from 5-7pm with an after party at Nowhere Bar, NYC at 10pm.
After seeing the site from my previous post, I remembered seeing an entry on Towleroad, about the rising number of gay ‘zines in NYC. He references a story in New York Magazine, “New York-Based Gay Magazines Are Thriving”.
“The seventies saw the first rise in ’zine culture, and then again in the mid-eighties, when the plain-paper copier made life easier. But the last few years have definitely been a new phenomenon.” Bronson credits Butt magazine, founded in Amsterdam and now edited in New York, with influencing a new generation of titles that are at once arty and dirty
