Boy George Convicted

December 05, 2008

Boy George is probably going to jail. He was found guilty yesterday of handcuffing and beating a male escort. Auden Carlsen, the escort in question, says George was pissed because he wouldn't have sex with him. George says Carlsen was trying to hack into his computer. Clearly the jury believed the former. "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" has got to be an appropriate song for this one way or another, but we'll just let you figure it out for yourselves. The really strange thing is, who'd have thought we'd still be talking about Boy George in 2008?

Prop 8 - The Musical

December 03, 2008

Funny or Die does it again. We could explain and list all the famous people that are in it, but you should just watch it.

The L Word Gets Lawless

December 01, 2008

Lucy Lawless that is. If you're a Xena/Cylon Number Three fan raise your hand! We had to stop typing because all our hands were raised. We've been dreading the return of The L Word (it's 6th and final season), but then we saw this trailer of the first forty seconds of the new season and things just got a whole lot less dreadful. First of all, someone dies, which is cool. Hopefully it's Jenny. Second of all, we'll watch anything (seriously anything at all) with Lucy Lawless in it. And third, the sooner it premiers, the sooner it will be over and then maybe people can forget about this show forever and someone will write a new, better lesbionic show with actually interesting characters and plots. Yeah!

Daniel V In The NYT

November 24, 2008

Our own beloved Daniel Vosovic was in The New York Times this weekend, except strangely he was in the Real Estate section. For all you rabid Daniel fans, you can get tons of tidbits of knowledge from this short piece. But it's mostly about their apartment in the LES. We miss Daniel (we met him at a Christmas party once, but we posted his blogs for a long time) and it was nice to see his shining face in a section of the paper we generally skip. Plus his kitchen it totally cute.

Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judge, Prince

November 24, 2008

Geeze. Of all people to condemn "people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever," as he puts it. And he told this to The New Yorker! Who does he think buys his records and dresses like him for Halloween?! Wait, do we sound totally outraged? Oh, that because we are. The LA Times actually did most of our reporting for us and they make several good points involving Tipper Gore and the lyrics to "Controversy." For our part, we'd like to point to these lyrics:

If I gave you diamonds and pearls, would you be a happy boy or girl?

See that was why we always thought Prince was bisexual. Didn't you?

Apparently, Prince says he was taken out of context. Or at least Perez Hilton says Prince's friend says he was taken out of context, or whatever. The New Yorker, however, sticks by their version.

Good Question

November 21, 2008

AfterElton asks if "A Day Without a Gay" means a day without Bravo. We think this is a totally fair question, being gay and working for Bravo ourselves. We have been talking to people about this and we're still pretty flummoxed. Is December 10th really going to rock the world when they realize how important and embedded gay people are in their normal lives? Because obviously gays are not just fashion designers, hairdressers, interior decorators and um, bloggers. They're also construction workers, lawyers, vets, clerks, etc. etc. But somehow we're pretty sure a large part of the gay community aren't going to risk their standing at their jobs by "calling in gay." Doubtful that anyone at Bravo would get fired for such a call-in, but for sure the office would be desolate.

We're just not actually sure this is the best protest-type action. But we could totally be wrong. We just really wish this collective gay rage could be focused on something productive - like working towards this. We couldn't say it any better than old Isaac Bailey over in Myrtle Beach. What do you think about the whole "Day Without a Gay" thing?

Gaeta is Gay, Duh

November 19, 2008

Battlestar Galactica's about to get a little bit more gay. Sure there's technically only been Helena Cain and her lesbianism as far as human gayness goes, but aren't all the Cylons bisexuals? And there are co-ed bathrooms and bunks and lots of platonic romantic relationships. But we always suspected that Felix Gaeta was the real thing. Turns out we were right. Apparently there's going to be a nice little webisode series on the Sci Fi Channel, in which it is revealed that Gaeta and L. Hoshi are lovers (there's going to be making out and everything!). Who is Hoshi you may ask? We were unsure as well. He's a pretty minor character, thus far, coming along on the Pegasus and sticking around as a communications officer in the control room. Anyhow, we're stoked for Gaeta to finally get some action, especially gay action. And we're glad our favorite show ever is getting more and more gay as it nears its close. Now if we can just figure out who the last Cylon is...

Ricky Gervais On Size

November 18, 2008

This clip entirely demonstrates Ricky Gervais's ability to make the most uncomfortable things funny. It also shows why people like to watch Inside the Actor's Studio. It's not really methods of acting or yada yada that they're interested in. They want to know how big these actors' genitals are. That's it. And Ricky Gervais knows it.

Snagglepuss Comes Out

November 17, 2008

Finally a pink, gay, cartoon lion, even. Um, this skit on SNL was hilarious. Although it probably wasn't funny to anyone younger than us, right? People can totally stop ragging on SNL now; we think they've gone and made their comeback. So watch Snagglepuss come out below (there's even a reference to Real Housewives of Atlanta).

Also if you're a big Justin Timberlake fan, this was amusing too. Especially his imitation of Michael McDonald.
