Pacific Justice Institute, a conservative, non-profit legal defense group specializing in religious freedom and parental rights, challenges Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels for ordering city departments to recognize employees in gay marriages sanctioned elsewhere. Matthew McReynolds: "It's our position that this goes way beyond employee benefits. He was just using this as an opportunity to undercut the (state) Defense of Marriage Act."

Manhunt underway for Norman Imeson in Canada. Imeson is wanted in connection with the murder of Carlos Rivera, 26, who was a bartender at Taps, a gay strip club in Windsor. Police warn, do not pick up hitchhikers: "People should just be extra cautious. We believe (Imeson) does not have a mode of transportation . . . In rural areas, people leave their doors open, their cars open, so they should be careful."

Elton John regrets keeping mum on gay issues when he was younger: "I have to speak my mind because as a gay man now I have a responsibility to. I sat back too long. I mean when (AIDS charity) Act Up were going in and trying to change the face of AIDS awareness in America because nobody else was doing it, I sat back and did nothing. I don't know why I didn't do anything. I just look back and question myself."

Ptown: Historic 12-ton belfry that has been sitting on the ground since 2002 to return to the top of the Provincetown Library at 5 am tomorrow. "Library Director Debra DeJonker-Berry expects a huge crowd of well-wishers to be present on Commercial Street and on the nearby beaches to watch this historic event. The 29-foot tall belfry has sat on the front of the Library property since 2002 when it was hoisted to the ground for restoration and so that structural repairs to the building could be completed."

Hungarian Secretary of State for Human Resources Gabor Szetey speaks out on coming out: "I think my coming out took so long partly because I was 22 in 1990. Until I turned 22, I thought I was an alien. I really opened up in New York where Gay Pride meant that several hundreds of thousands of people marched: it was a carnival, a huge party where families joined with their kids to have fun and educate their kids about tolerance. I will be the happiest if I don't have to speak about this issue any more. If I have to, I will."

Hurricane outlook cut for 2007: "The season will bring 14 named storms, of which six will become hurricanes and three will become major hurricanes, WSI said in its revised outlook. WSI had previously expected 15 named storms of which eight would become hurricanes and four would become major hurricanes. 'Because the ocean temperatures have not yet rebounded from the significant drop in late spring, we have decided to reduce our forecast numbers slightly' said Todd Crawford, a WSI seasonal forecaster."

The Old D&B: Paul Rudd Ready for His Nude Debut

Actor Paul Rudd, who looked snappy at yesterday's premiere of The Ten in Hollywood, gave an interview to Playboy this month, in which he expressed his desire to go the Full Monty onstage:

"I've often said I'd like to do a play in which I'm totally naked, but each and every time the director and the acst have insisted I put clothes on. A few times I was fired from a production because I did a full-frontal nude scene at the very first performance and they said it was inappropriate. I'll tell you, the cast of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown has regretted it ever since. In all seriousness, I'm pretty carefree about stuff like that. If it were something classy, I'd show the old D&B. And by D&B I mean, of course, "dick and balls."

Paul Rudd Strips and Dips on Veronica Mars

Much more after the jump...

Rudd soon discovered that skinnydipping ain't that much fun unless the water's warm.

Paul Rudd's Man Crush Revealed

Actor Paul Rudd tells Brandon Voss in The Advocate that while he played Cher's stepbrother in Clueless, the role he really wanted was that of "friend of Dorothy" Christian. Said Rudd: "...I think I was too old. That was my favorite part in the movie, because I thought it was so cool that there was this really cool character who was completely into all the Rat Pack–type stuff and is gay, but it wasn’t really a big thing. At that point that was something you didn’t really see."

Rudd also reveals he's something of a Bear man, at least in the "man-crush" sense: "I have so many [man-crushes]! Like Zach Galifianakis (far right). In fact, my wife always says that I have the biggest crush on him. He’s a comic who usually has this big beard, but he’s so freakin’ funny...I like depth. Anyone can just jump in the sack with Colin Farrell, but you spend your life with Zach Galifianakis."
