Alec Mapa and friends on the Allure of the Seas
Alec Mapa, everyone's favorite Gaysian sweetheart, is a bundle of contractions. His standup is about as raunchy and personal as you can imagine, with graphic jokes about his sex life and even bathroom habits. But he's also a great dad. As we met aboard the Atlantis Events cruise to talk about fatherhood, comedy, and Ugly Betty, he showed up holding a MacBook at an awkward angle, trying to use the ship's flaky WiFi to video conference with his son about his behavior at school.
AfterElton: We are on the Allure, and we are talking to Alec Mapa, who was kind enough to get out of bed early to talk to us.
Alec Mapa: I know – it's miraculous.
Ae: We're huge fans at AfterElton. We haven't seen a lot of you on TV since Ugly Betty, but that was such an iconic role.

New York -- Amid continuing sluggish consumer spending, North American licensing royalty revenue declined in 2009 for the second year in a row, including in the biggest segment of film, TV and other entertainment characters.
Kicking off of the Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas on Tuesday, the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Assn. said brand owners collected about $5.2 billion in licensing royalty revenue in North America in 2009, down 8.7% from the prior year, which had declined 5.6%. The figure had previously risen steadily each year since Lima began collecting data. This is the trade group's 12th annual survey.
The character segment, which makes up 46% of total licensing industry revenue, did slightly better than the overall business, recording a decline of 7.9% in 2009 to $2.4 billion. That followed a 3.9% drop in 2008 from $2.71 billion in 2007.
Entertainment giants have in recent years increasingly focused on building their high-margin licensing operations amid challenges in the DVD sell-through market and other parts of the business.
