Rapamycin, an antibiotic, shows signs of delaying the aging process.

It's safe to say that John Micklow (pictured) might not have the sexiest name for a male model, but he's in the right line of work.

Metrosexual manual Details wonders if straight men will take to wearing male engagement rings. Marriage is sacred, but must it also be so precious?

Miami Social, Bravo's latest reality show, debuts Tuesday, July 14, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, featuring two out men. One is HuffingtonPost blogger Michael Cohen, who will be launching Style Lab, a sort of fashion/style version of MySpace in the fall, and the other is Ariel Stein, who I hear you might not love to hate so much as just hate.

Announcing the arrival of Icarus, "the first magazine devoted to gay-themed speculative fiction and writing—from fantasy to horror to science fiction, and all the weird tales that fall between the cracks." The first issue features stories by Jameson Currier, Jeff Mann, Tom Cardamone and Joel D. Lane, interviews with Dan Stone and Peter Grahame and poetry by Lawrence M. Schoen.

A frighteningly detailed portrait of the late Michael Jackson taken for Q Magazine's August 2009 cover reveals the netting of his wig, salt-and-pepper stubble, the most surgically tortured nose since Ann Miller and a telltale gauntness. How could people around him not have feared the worst?

No-Brainer: Jackson's family will not bury him until the L.A. coroner is done with his brain, which they're still examining. Also of note, his sister La Toya was the family member who signed his death certificate. (She infamously agreed her brother may have been guilty of molestation charges, but later recanted, saying an abusive husband had driven her to say it.)

A lawyer who prosecuted an infamous 1983 gay-bashing case in Ireland (the unrepentant perps were convicted but a judge decided nothing would be served by jailing them) passes away.

Swami Baba Ramdev has filed suit in India to reverse the decriminalization of homosexuality, which he terms a "disease" that "can be treated by yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises) and other meditation techniques."

North Korea Behind Cyber Attacks?

North Korea, until now content to threaten to blow up the United States and recklessly test missiles, might be moving into a more aggressive phase. According to South Korean intelligence, "North Korea or pro-Pyongyang forces" are behind cyber attacks that knocked out American and South Korean government sites. China is also a suspect.

Affected sites include those at the Treasury Department, Secret Service, Federal Trade Commision and Transportation Department, and all the issues occurred over the long holiday weekend. A good time to test one's abilities, when one's opponent is watching fireworks and eating barbecue.

The attack's effects lasted for days, indicating remarkably sophisticated hacking.

South Korea is "one of the world's most wired countries." Nearly every home (95%) has high-speed Internet access.

For What It's Fort Worth

South Carolina Serial Killer Killed

A shootout has ended with the death of a man who police believe was the serial killer who's been haunting South Carolina residents in recent weeks.

Good news for a state that needs some.

Marion Barry, Moral Politician, Arrested for Stalking

Former DC Mayor and current Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry, 73, was arrested over the weekend for misdemeanor stalking. He is accused of following a 40-year-old "female acquaintance" who he had been assisting financially. How someone currently on probation for federal tax evasion has bucks to spare is beyond me.

Barry has proclaimed his innocence.

Recently, Barry was one of Washington DC's loudest and angriest voices in opposition of marriage equality, saying, "I am a politician who's moral." Not so recently (1990), he was caught on video smoking crack, leading to his career-defining quote, "The bitch set me up."

Might the same line be recycled soon in reference to the latest in his long line of legal disasters?
