10. FILM: The Roommate
Out February 4, this Single White Female for the Gossip Girl generation stars Leighton Meester as a psycho obsessed with her college roomie, a Meester doppelganger played by Esquire's reigning "Sexiest Woman Alive" Minka Kelly.

9. TV: Million Dollar Listing
Forget plummeting property values. Charismatic Malibu realtor -- and former Playgirl cover model -- Madison Hildebrand officially updated his Facebook status from "polyamorous" to "gay" after participating in the No H8 campaign last season.

7. BOOK: The Intimates, Ralph Sassone; Confessions of a Gay Anchorman, Charles Perez
If Will & Grace were an epic dramatic novel, it might read like Sassone's debut, The Intimates, in which high school sweethearts Robbie and Maize become New York City roommates after Robbie comes to terms with his homosexuality. For a smart and juicy memoir, check out Confessions of a Gay Anchorman, which gets an official launch February 1 along with the ousted Miami anchor's NoShame Project, a campaign to erase gay shame.

3. TV: Just Josh
Going solo after a successful run of here!

2. FILM: Kaboom
New queer cinema pioneer Gregg Araki regresses in the best possible way with this trippy sci-fi comedy -- winner of the Cannes Film Festival's first Queer Palm -- which opens January 28 in limited release.

1. CD: Music + Soul + Sex, Ricky Martin; Faith, George Michael; Talk About Body, Men
Hallelujah, it's raining men with these sexy February 1 releases. Oh, Ricky, you're so fine, and so is your first post-out effort. Le Tigre's J.D. Samson and guitarist Michael O'Neill make up Men, whose debut is as danceable as it is gender-political. Finally, George Michael's seminal 1987 solo debut gets commemorated with three remastered and expanded editions, including a deluxe boxed set available only at GeorgeMichael.com.
