Have You Heard Of The “A-Steam”? Watch As These Guys Get Their First One

Add this to the list of things that are apparently a “thing” now (somewhere between pizza condoms and “sudden sniffing death“): anal steaming.

Because apparently waxing and bleaching didn’t quite fill the quota on strange things humans do to their buttholes.

Gwyneth Paltrow recently touted the benefits of her recent vagina steaming — shudder – so naturally the guys over at Buzzfeed thought it was high time they experienced the male equivalent. Meet the “A-Steam.”

“It’s like drinking tea, except for your ass.”

'Glee' Features 200-Person Transgender Choir (VIDEO)
Over the years, “Glee” has pushed the boundaries of mainstream lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) visibility on television. And even though the show is currently airing its final season, it appears to be more dedicated to this radical visibility than ever.

On Friday night’s episode of “Glee,” producers debuted a 200-person transgender choir composed of trans-identifying individuals from all across the country. The choir was featured in an episode titled “Transition” in which Dot Marie-Jones’ character, Coach Beiste, reportedly returns to the school for first time following his transition.

Popular trans character Unique also returns for the episode in order to support Beiste and lead the choir in a rendition of “I Know Where I’ve Been” from the musical “Hairspray.”

“This is so exciting and we never really knew if this was possible,” director Dante Di Loreto states in the above video, “but when you hear where everybody’s from — from Birmingham, from Denver, from Atlanta — it makes you realize that this really is the face of America.”

Check out the video above to hear more.

Ryan Phillippe Is Happy You Can Finally Watch Him Kiss Breckin Meyer

There was a part of us that was a little sad nobody ever got to see it. We did something that was relatively bold for two young male actors, and we took pride in the places that the original story went. So, it’s nice that people finally get to see Breckin and me kiss.”

Post-Breakup Photos Capture Those Strangely Tender Objects Your Exes Leave Behind
When a relationship ends, what happens to the objects left behind? This was the question explored by photographer Sam Evans-Butler. In his series “Souvenirs,” Evans-Butler captures a variety of subjects alongside a particular object, a memento of a past lover and a past love.

Nathaniel, blogger, “My ex used to be a ceramicist. After we broke up I considered breaking this bowl he made me for my 21st birthday, but it managed to stay with me for three more years, and now my ex and I are best friends.”

“I once saw a film in which a character kept a diary that was composed mostly of a list,” Evans-Butler writes in his statement, “things that were pleasing, beautiful, fanciful and fleeting. It made me think about the objects that we are left behind with when a relationship ends, the memories they come to represent and the emotions they stir up.”

The photo essay, originally featured in Hello Mr., is a vibrant archive of the inanimate things we maintain attachments to even after connections to their owners have been severed. How do objects bring back memories, tell stories, answer unsolved questions? In what ways can our belongings provide what other humans cannot?

See the bittersweet stories in full below, and if you’re so inclined, post your own souvenirs on Instagram using #YourSouvenir, tagging both @hellomr and @needsupply. Hello Mr. and Need Supply Co. will eventually choose a “winner” of the hashtag competition, and he or she will receive a $500 gift card.

DVD: “Birdman,” “Dick: The Documentary,” “St. Vincent,” & More!

It’s a truly mixed bag in home entertainment this week, from Oscar nominees to, well, junk:  Birdman, St. Vincent and Dick: The Documentary.

Scroll down for the deets!

Dick: The Documentary

($19.99 DVD; IndiePix)

Just what it sounds like, this documentary features a wide array of men — from young to old, to former military personnel to transsexuals — showing and talking about their penises. No faces, though: the subjects were sourced through Craigslist ads and told they would be anonymous.

Birdman

($39.99 Blu-ray, $29.99 DVD; 20^th Century Fox)

Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Directing, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor, director Alejandro G. Iñárritu‘s trippy dramedy stars Michael Keaton as an aging, tortured actor who, once star of a superhero franchise, mounts a Broadway show in a final bid to revive his career. Things don’t go smoothly, of course, and he may or may not possess superhuman abilities, by the way. Keaton and co-stars, including Edward Norton, a slimmed down Zach Galifiniakis, and Emma Stone are amazing, while seamless special effects and a single-shot approach add to the dazzling, one-of-a-kind experience. Extras include behind the scenes featurettes and conversation between Keaton and Iñárritu.

St. Vincent

($34.99 Blu-ray, $29.98 DVD; Anchor Bay)

Bill Murray heads up this dramedy about a degenerate military veteran, Vincent, who babysits the son, Oliver, of his next door neighbor (Melissa McCarthy). Some feel that Murray was snubbed by the Oscars for his turn here, while Naomi Watts is barely recognizable — and great — as Vincent’s Russian prostitute friend. Extras include deleted scenes and a Q&A with Murray.
