Michael Verdugo was kicked off HGTV's "Design Star" last night, but the judges cited his "poor hosting skills" -- not his gay porn past -- for his exodus. There's a clip from the show (filmed well in advance of its premier Sunday, no doubt) on HGTV's website where you can see Mikey V in all his clothed, untied hotness (and catch a few glimpses of his telltale tats).

In just over 2 weeks, Kink.com's newly established studio KinkMen.com will be launching its first gay website, BoundGods.com. The brainchild of veteran Director and adult superstar Van Darkholme, BoundGods.com blends tight bondage, intense S&M and serious hardcore sex like no other gay site has done before. To gear up for the site's debut, as well as seek out fresh male talent for other Kink.com websites, the Talent Department decided to host the company's first ever Open Casting Call this Wednesday, July 16th at Kink.com's San Francisco studios. Whether you're gay, straight, a seasoned pro or a total amateur, if you're curious about being a porn star, make sure to RSVP to rsvp@kinkmen.com for your chance to see what it's all about. And don't worry ladies—while this Wednesday's casting call is for men only, it will hopefully be the first of many more to come. For more information, please visit KinkMen.com.
