In spite of the cloudy weather, Jason Statham hit the beach and went for a swim in Prainha yesterday. The actor has been in Rio for over a week now shooting Stallone's The Expendables. More after the jump.

In Rio de Janeiro to begin filming Stallone's The Expendables, Jason Statham unfortunately chose to visit the Sugar Loaf yesterday as opposed to putting on a swimsuit and hitting the beach. I am certain though that there will be plenty of shirtless sightings during his stay in the city. More pictures after the jump.

Brazilian Gustavo Marzolla Not Dating Lance Bass

On March 20, Queerty published a series of pictures of Lance Bass vacationing with 32-year-old Brazilian Gustavo Marzolla, and soon after rumors that the two were dating spread all over the web (MIB also ran the story this past Monday). I have heard today from Gustavo's friends, and it looks like the story was planted and the rumors are not true. According to one of Gustavo's friends, "he went on vacation with a group of friends last month and one of the many people in the group was Lance Bass. Gustavo did not even know Lance Bass (until then). Gustavo posed for many pictures and with everyone in the group that week. Lance used this opportunity to create some much needed buzz for his career by having one of his friends send in the photos with Gustavo to try to make it look like Lance is always with hot guys, and had a new Brazillian boyfriend. In no way is he remotely into Lance Bass." And there is more: "Lance should come out and just say there is no story there, but he probably will not because the buzz is good for him. He totally used Gustavo."

Feel free to draw your own conclusions. I am not assuming anything until I hear from Gustavo himself or Lance Bass. Just a word of advice to both: wear speedos on your next vacation.

Brazilianizer Of The Week: Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs and soon-to-be-husband Lorenzo Martone spent the weekend in São Paulo promoting the opening of the designer's first flagship store in the city.

At a press conference at the store on Friday afternoon, Marc solved the kilt mystery saying that he wears it to showcase his calves, which he likes (I get it Marc, I like my calves too, but shorts also do the trick). Marc also said that he doesn't mind the attention the media pays to his relationship with Lorenzo, and that he loves being on the spotlight.

On Friday night, a huge party was thrown for the designer at gay nightclub Cantho. Marc showed up in his usual black kilt (working the calves), and both him and Lorenzo were wearing matching rings on their left hands (cute). The couple stayed at the party a little over an hour at a private area.

According to gossip site Glamurama, Marc and Lorenzo plan on adopting a baby girl. The couple is still in Brazil, and is headed to Txai resort in Itacaré today. After that they plan on spending a few days relaxing in Rio. I expect a few speedo sightings to post here.

Lance's New Brazilian Boyfriend

Lance Bass scored himself yet another Brazilian boyfriend. His name is Gustavo Marzolla, he is 32, and has moved from Belo Horizonte to the US over a year ago. Pictures of the couple on vacation taken from their facebook profiles made their way to Queerty last Friday.

Gustavo posed naked for a portfolio on The Advocate in September of last year, but his name is no longer listed on the magazine's website as one of the people who posed for the spread, and his pictures have been taken down (you can still find them here though).
