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. Though she's using her sex appeal for evil -- who doesn't? -- Meester shares a steamy smooch with One Tree Hill's Danneel Harris. Burlesque's Cam Gigandet and 90210's Matt Lanter provide man-candy.
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.

5. BOOK: I'm From Driftwood
Showcasing true LGBT stories from around the world, Nathan Manske's blog now has a companion anthology -- available at ImFromDriftwood.com -- that compiles 51 of the site's most moving accounts, including tales about one man's underground Indonesian gay-straight alliance and another's closeted life in 1950s Indiana. Touring the country to collect more stories and hold readings, the Driftwood crew just finished visiting all 50 states.
4. ART: "Your Face Here" and "Into the Neon"
Out celebrity photographer Austin Young kicks off his "Your Face Here" exhibit January 29 by turning his lens on random patrons, whose portraits will line the walls of Pop tART Gallery in Los Angeles.

3. TV: Just Josh
Going solo after a successful run of here! With Josh and Sara, hilarious host Josh Rosenzweig tweaks the traditional talk show format by blending celebrity interviews with VIP event coverage and other Manhattan man-on-the-street scenarios.

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. Thomas Dekker, who'll soon be seen as Lance Loud in Cinema Verite, stars as a horny bisexual college freshman who crushes on his straight surfer roomie and uncovers an apocalyptic conspiracy with his acerbic lesbian bestie.
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.
