Paul Donahoe (above) and Kenny Jordan (below) posed for gay porn site Fratmen.tv. Once Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning found out, he kicked them off the team … permanently. Manning said in a statement:

"This incident was not the sole factor considered before the decision was reached to dismiss the two wrestlers."

In April, Donahoe was arrested and taken to jail by Lincoln police after they were called to investigate a loud party. Police said Donahoe was argumentative and refused to help in breaking up the party. He was convicted in May of maintaining a disorderly house and fined $250.

Manning continued:

“The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat.”

“We will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals. I want to personally apologize for any embarrassment that may have been caused for our athletic department, the university and our fans.”

The boys were not kicked off the team because they were gay, but because they violated NCAA rules.

Josh White, NU’s assistant athletic director for compliance, told The Associated Press that Donahoe and Jordan were declared ineligible because they violated an NCAA rule that prohibits athletes from receiving compensation for the use of their images by anyone seeking commercial gain.

NCAA athletes are not allowed to knowingly let pictures of themselves be used for commercial purposes. Athletes would be considered ineligible for competition if they accept any compensation or permit the use of their image to advertise, recommend or promote directly any commercial endeavor.

White said both Jordan and Donahoe had violated the rule and said each wrestler would have to apply to the NCAA for reinstatement if they were to choose to wrestle for another school.

These boys could have a successful career, but not in wrestling.

Michael Verdugo was placed on administrative leave from the Hollywood, Florida police force on Wednesday. Verdugo was known as Mikey V when he was a recent contestant on HGTV’s Design Star.

The reason Verdugo was suspended is unclear, but appears to be related to problems he has been having with his police partner Eric Augustus, who is heterosexual.

Verdugo appeared in a 1996 gay bondage film called Rope Rituals, which is not longer in print. He joined the police force in 2001, 5 years after making the movie. The trouble in the police department didn’t start with Verdugo’s porn past, and appears to have nothing to do with his current problems. In 2004 Hollywood cops responded to a domestic disturbance call involving two gay men. Both were Hollywood cops. One was Verdugo, who had been working in the department for three years, but had not come out to his co-workers.

Chief Scarberry was concerned Verdugo would be harassed. During lineup on the morning after the incident, according to department sources, Scarberry delivered a stern warning: Any officer who teased Verdugo or the other gay officer could expect a suspension and possible dismissal.

The police Chief was protecting Verdugo from any harassment, but then Verdugo started filing complaints against his partner Augustus, who has a distinguished 19 year career. It could be that Verdugo may have been the one with the problems. The knee-jerk reaction is to believe gay harassement, when it could be the opposite, heterosexual harassment by Verdugo, that could have caused him to be suspended. We’ll have to wait and see what the investigation determines.

A police spokesman said:

"Verdugo has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of a fact-finding Internal Affairs investigation."

Verdugo’s attorney, Al Milian, said:

"My client has done nothing wrong. He has served the community of Hollywood with honor and distinction for over 10 years. The only reason someone would criticize my client is that he publicly has a different lifestyle. My client has done absolutely nothing wrong. Nothing unethical. Nothing to bring discredit upon his police department, except serve his community."

In 2002, the Sun-Sentinel covered a boxing match in Hollywood that featured the now Design Star contestant Michael Verdugo, right, in the ring with Sunrise firefighter Frank Cagan at Hollywood Young Circle bandshell. (pictured below)

Also pictured below is Verdugo, or someone that looks exactly like him, and has the exact same tattoos, in the gay porn movie Rope Rituals.

Mickey Rourke spent Father’s Day at a gay bar in Miami called Rokbar. It’s the only place someone who looks like Thing from Fantastic Four can get laid.

A report confirms our speculation that Jodie Foster left Cyndey Bernard for another woman. The National Enquirer reports that Jodie’s new woman is brunette Cindy Mort, a producer and screenwriter she met on the set of her 2007 film The Brave One. Mort is the former lover of Melanie Mahron.

Mort and Mahron live in separate houses on the same street in Los Angeles. Foster and Bernard still live in the same house. Complicated.

Cheaters never find love, because they’re never satisfied.

Vince Young, who is a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, partied hard at a Texas bar a few days ago. There were only dudes in the bar, and most them, including Young, had only half of their clothes on. Looks like a gay bar. Ride’em cowboy.
