beauty in a wicked world.

If you are gay and know anything about the gay porn industry, there is a very good chance you have heard of Zeb Atlas (born Andy Bick). He has become sort of an icon in the community with his obnoxious muscular physique. I really don't understand the attraction there. I know plenty of men have a fetish for the bodybuilding type, but Atlas is on another level of steroid. Someone should have told him to stop while he was ahead, but that is neither here nor there. I mean, he still has a very successful career to wave in our faces, so kudos to him. Apparently he used to stick solely to softcore porn but finally had his man cherry popped on film. I feel like that would just be utterly awkward to watch. He would probably look like a hippopotamus ravaging an unsuspecting victim.

Everyone has heard Diana Ross' "Love Hangover". It's a 1976 disco classic and is still prevalent in today's generation. When musicians decide to cover a song that has been so tried and true, the goal is to put their own perspective into it without tarnishing the original qualities that made it such a definitive song. Atlas has done the complete opposite of that. He is accompanied by singer/diva Pearly Gates (wow, really?), who featured the porn star in a previous music video for "Stop For Love". Luckily, he only starred in that one and wasn't given a singing role. I think he gained some inspiration from Kim Zolciak  (Real Housewives of Atlanta) and decided to hit the recording studio himself. The end product: Zeb Atlas attempting to sing "Love Hangover" and try to appear sexy...it is absolutely horrible, horrendous, lackluster, off pitch, etc. I could add a few more adjectives, but I think you get the picture. If you have a strong stomach, watch the video below.

Sorry Zeb, but you should stick to your day job. Regardless of what I think, I'm sure there are enough men out there who are performing their own "solo acts" to this music video.
