Price is Right for Doogie Howser

February 27, 2007

Yeah, we know. Gays have no reason to watch newly-out Neil Patrick Harris's TV show "How I Met Your Mother" because, well, it's not funny.

But, on March 6, a man every gay boy who ever stayed home school (sick, afraid of bullies?) knows is going to guest star. "The Price is Right" host Bob Barker.

So set your TiVo. Relive your childhood. And you get to see Doogie all grown up and gay.

Heath Ledger's Valentine's Day Break-up

February 27, 2007

If only the juice were that juicy. Instead we're left to study (and salivate?) over this news: Heath Ledger and his I'm-so-straight wife Michelle Williams are separated. And have been since Valentine's Day.

You'll remember that the couple strategically met on the set of Brokeback Mountain. Just when Heath ran the risk of looking a little gay, he snatched himself up a woman. Whoo-hoo.

Then again, if she was just a beard ... would they really have stayed together so long? Maybe it's love after all. Either way: we'll have to wait and see.

Gay Sheep and Lesbians

February 27, 2007

This is just too random to be true. But a company called Electric Sheep is developing a “place” for “The L-Word” in Second Life.

That’s the scary-weird (cool?) totally virtual world. www.secondlife.com

First of all: This is going to completely ruin our favorite stereotype about lesbians (that they’re U-haul driving Luddites). And secondly, after all the gay sheep controversies, why would a company name themselves “electric sheep?”

It’s a strange world, eh?

Kristin Chenowith's Daisy Chain

February 27, 2007

Bryan Fuller is shooting a new pilot for ABC, and the cast keeps getting more exciting.

The pilot, entitled “Pushing Daisies” is about a guy who can bring people back to life just by touching them. After news that Lee Pace (“Wonderfalls,” The Good Shepard) has been cast as the lead, news came this week that Kristin Chenoweth has been cast to play his love interest.

The Tony-Award-Winning Chenoweth, whose work has been seen on TV shows like “The West Wing,” and the short-lived “Kristin,” is thought to be the inspiration for Sarah Paulson’s character in Aaron Sorkin’s “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”

Melissa Etheridge: Oscar Winner

February 26, 2007

Last year, when OUTzoneTV.com held it’s Sexiest Gay Celeb contest, Ms. Etheridge didn’t win. (Boo!) But this morning she is probably not crying in her Earl Grey tea. The singer, rocker, icon, and superstar is the proud owner of a new gold Academy Award. She won the statuette last night for Best Song, “I Need to Wake Up,” written for Al Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

Etheridge admitted to being a little nervous last night. She added that trying to avoid eye contact with her audience wouldn't help either.

''Then you go, 'I'll just look at the camera,' and there's a billion people out there. It's a little crazy.''

No one at home could tell. Ms Etheridge looked cool, calm and confident. Bless her!

Suze Orman Out for $32 Million

February 26, 2007

Not everyone comes out (publicly). So we almost feel bad ribbing best-selling author and financial guru Suze Orman. But the super-power gal came out in a big way this weekend because she wants to save money.

Oh, how the fight for gay rights has changed.

''Both of us have millions of dollars in our name,'' she told The New York Times Magazine yesterday (Feb 25). ''It's killing me that upon death, K.T. is going to lose 50 percent of everything I have to estate taxes. Or vice versa.''

Heather Graham's Gay Kiss

February 23, 2007

Heather Graham plays a "lesbian" in a new film, Gray Matters, and because we haven’t seen a lesbian on screen since the homophobic presentation of Judi Dench’s character in Notes on a Scandal: this is news.

"It's sort of a romantic comedy," Graham explained in an interview. "I play a girl and my brother meets a woman and falls in love and wants to marry her, and then I meet her and fall in love with her too."

"Then I realise I'm gay, and I come out of the closet."

American Idol Theater Queen Boot Camp

February 23, 2007

How can you spend your summer vacation, if you're 12 to 15: Go to ''American Idol'' camp. Not that gay kids haven’t been flocking to “theater camp” since the birth of the American Musical, but…

Idol Camp is performing arts summer camp for kids who crave more than kayaking and hiking. It’s opening in Massachusetts this summer.

The camp's limited enrollment isn't audition-based and won't guarantee a spot on ''American Idol'' or provide any advantage in the Fox series' audition process, a spokesman said. The TV show's age limit is 16 to 28.

Gay Hip-Hop on CNN

February 22, 2007

A video clip about gay hip-hop singer DeadLee is the most popular video on CNN today. We watched it don’t know what’s better: his sexy thug look, or the nerdy suit that interviews him nervously.

Whatever: so many gay artists have tried to break into hip-hop with absolutely no commercial success. So it’s too soon to break out the champagne. But congrats to DeadLee for scoring CNN. The coverage should inspire others to check out his videos. They’re sexy, and very gay, practically soft-core-sweet. His songs are truly hip-hop and he “reclaims” (that’s his word) faggot for his own purposes, which is classic hip-hop-defiant.

Our Thoughts to Kathy G.

February 22, 2007

Sincere condolences to Kathy Griffin, whose father, John, has passed away at the age of 91. Kathy released a statement on her website explaining that Mr. Griffin “died of complication due to congestive heart failure and multiple myeloma [a cancer of the blood].”

She thanks her many fans for their support.

“My dad had a very far reach in this world and is already missed by so many. His ascerbic, rapier wit and true heart of gold made for a wonderful combination in a great man.”

Anderson Cooper: Sold!

February 22, 2007

For $21,000 and for charity, of course. Lunch with Coop went to the highest bidder at the infamous Bailey House fundraiser, a well-attended event that raises cool cash for a good cause (Bailey House is an AIDS services organization). Coop will be lunching with media mogul Oliver Hicks, an openly gay man.

The irony is dripping from this story onto our computer screens because in Manhattan gay circles, the annual Bailey House event is known as the not-too-gay “gay event” of the winter. So how perfect that “Coop 4 Sale” would become the gossiped-about item from the event.

Not that we’re against anyone raising money for a good cause. We just don’t play that hide-they-gayness game very well.

Gale Harold: Associate Producer

February 22, 2007

Good news for fans of “Queer as Folk” star Gale Harold. The fellow is stepping behind the camera (sort of) and helping produce a documentary called Scott Walker - 30th Century Man, directed by awesome gay director Stephen Kijak.

Gotta give a shout out to friends at IndieWire.com for clueing us into this bit of info from the just-completely Berlin Film Festival, where Mr. Harold and Mr. Kijak screened the new film.

Scott Walker is the man, and the voice, behind the super-sixties mega hit, “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.” Mr. Walker dropped out of pop music and went on to create experimental work that is beloved by pop stars from Sting to David Bowie, who was instrumental in getting the film made. (Thanks David B.)

Tim Hardaway Tries to Hide-away

February 21, 2007

It’s not everyday OUTzone gets a dishy scoop from www.carwash.com. So when we read this story, well…

It seems the NBA’s most notorious homophobe, Tim Hardaway owns a car wash in Florida. (Isn’t that what basketball stars do? Who knew?)

Well, after Mr. Tim said, “I hate gays,” activists threatened a boycott.

And instead of just apologizing -- maybe taking Neil Patrick Harris out to lunch – maybe having a tete-a-tete with Isaiah Washington: the dude changed the name of his biz.

So now, the “Tim Hardaway Presents US1’s Finest Carwash,” it’s called, “Grand Luxe Auto Bathe.”

Okay, now how gay is that?! “Luxe Auto Bathe?” Honestly Hardaway. Puh-lease!

Hilarious photo courtesy of the Miami Herald’s intrepid gay reporter Steve Rothaus. See it here.

Ricky Martin is a Dixie Chick

February 20, 2007

It’s hard to concentrate on any other sublebrity when Britney’s shaving her head, but kudos to Ricky Martin for flipping the bird at President George W. Bush.

And this from the closet-case who sang at Bushy’s first inauguration!

At a recent concert, the 35-year-old singer stuck up his middle finger when he sang the president's name in his song ''Asignatura Pendiente,'' which includes the words, ''a photo with Bush.'' The gesture last Friday prompted cheers from thousands of fans in the San Juan stadium.

On Thursday, the Puerto Rican heartthrob repeated his criticism of the Iraq war and explained his changed position on Bush.

Straight Musicals Trounced in London

February 20, 2007

Nothing against the chorus boys (and girls) who are getting a nice paycheck every week. Nor anything against the folks in the audience who enjoy the show , “Spamalot.” And our man Tony Kushner won a nice award, too.

But we’re glad to see home-theater-hero Stephen Sondheim kick “Spamalot’s” booty at the 2007 Laurence Olivier Awards in London.

A small budget revival of Sondheim's musical ''Sunday in the Park With George'' took a handful of prizes Sunday at the while the Monty Python romp ''Spamalot'' emerged the night's biggest loser.

''Spamalot'' went home empty-handed despite seven nominations, including best new musical, for the prizes that honor the best of the London stage.

Renne Zellweger : No Sex

February 16, 2007

Renne Zellweger vs. short-term hubby Kenny Chesney gets stranger by the minute -- the second even. After a brief marriage and divorce, the couple "annulled" themselves, which technically means they didn't have sex. Reason for the split was written down as "fraud."

And then all hell broke loose. "He's gay! He's gay!" the gossipmongers screamed. And so now country singer Kenny Chesney is appearing on "60 Minutes" this Sunday to say that the word "fraud" in their divorce papers does not mean "gay."

Mellissa Etheridge: Oscar Dreams

February 16, 2007

Call her whatever you want: Rock goddess, ''lesbian singer,'' or cancer survivor.'' But make sure you call Ms. Etheridge Oscar nominee, too

Etheridge, 45, competes in the best-song category for the anthem ''I Need to Wake Up'' from the global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Not that you need reminding, but the awards ceremony is Sunday, February 25.

''That was part of my dream, being a rock star and all that stuff,'' she said. ''And, 'Oooo, someday, I want to have Oscar: best song.' Of course that's out there. Never, when I was presented with this -- this was a slide show. I had no idea it was going to be a film and it was going to be that sort of thing.''

Hardaway, Homophobic and An Idiot

February 16, 2007

When John Amaechi came out last week in his post-NBA career autobiography, a lot of folks said his tales were much ado about nothing.

Well, well, well. Enter Tim Hardaway: "First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team," the former Miami Heat star said. "And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that is right. I don't think he should be in the locker room while we are in the locker room."

When radio host Dan Le Batard told Hardaway those comments were "flatly homophobic" and "bigotry," the player continued.

Because he’s apparently an idiot, and a fool.

Rodrigo Santoro : Beefcake

February 15, 2007

Have you seen the trailer for the swords, sandals & abs flick 300? "Lost" star Rodrigo Santor is in it, although we can't find him in the trailer.

While doing promotional interviews for the movie, which opens in March, he was asked about being a gay icon. (Somehow the fact that he's been a successful actor and star in his native Brazil for eons, isn't what's filling the buzzy-blogospher. Even though he’s even played a transvestite in a very good movie directed by Hector Babenco (Kiss of the Spider Woman).

The homo-blogospher is dishing Rodrigo's absolutely blasé response to being asked about his “gay icon status.”

It’s rather hilarious, actually. Watch the clip on YouTube. See for yourself what a professional Rodrigo is and then laugh at all the pick-ups of this non-story story. (Towleroad, MadeInBrazil, Torgen am Morgen.)

Why are we writing about it? Because gays gotta start getting their act together. We need to stop asking such silly questions of every actor. We need to stop touting their irrelevant answers. And we need to have a little more fun.

Holliday or Hudson, Battle of the Jennifers

February 15, 2007

We don't know whether to be excited or miffed. We just read on Ew.com that E!'s "Countdown to the Red Carpet" will feature Jennifer Holliday -- the original "Effie" in the Broadway production of Dreamgirls -- singing "And I Am Telling You" on Oscar night.

Before the show? Huh?

Whatever. So it seems that J. Holliday -- not Best Actress-nominee J. Hudson -- is going to belt out the song that made a million fat girls and gay men fall in love with Broadway musicals in the 80s.

Now, for those who have never seen Holliday sing "And I Am Telling You" you still must watch the clip of her live performance from the Tony Awards. While we love J-Hud's performance in the film it just isn't as vocally eviscerating as Holliday's.

Gilbert and George on Top

February 14, 2007

Gilbert and George –they neither need nor use last names – have long been the unsung, super-gay-heroes of the art world. From their quirky conceptual stunts in the 70s to their “shit, piss and cum” photo collages” in the 90s, the duo have constantly pushed the boundaries of what is art, and what is beautiful.

Really, the “s, p and c” pictures are lushly colored, saturated with ink and HUGE.

And expensive. So it’s about time they got the Royal Treatment.

After 40 years creating beautiful and disturbing images -- big, bold montages full of nudity, pain, blood, excrement, fragility and ecstasy, the self-styled artistic outsiders are receiving their biggest-ever retrospective at London's Tate Modern gallery.

An entire floor of the vast gallery has been cleared to show more than 200 works by the duo, who met at London's St. Martin's School of Art in 1967 and have lived and worked together ever since. It would be an understatement to say they are pleased.

Gay Marriage in SF Anniversary

February 14, 2007

This week marks the third year anniversary of Gay Marriage in San Francisco. A painfully short-lived phenomena brought about my cool SF mayor Gavin Newsom. He threw caution to the wind to do what’s right: grant same sex couples the right to marry.

Monday, hundreds of couples attended a rally at City Hall in the City by the Bay. But today, on Valentine’s Day: we should all do something, however small to push the agenda.

So, call your mom and come out, again.

Call Dick Cheney’s office and tell him to support his daughter MORE!

Write a check to The Victory Fund and help more gay and lesbian candidates win elections everywhere.

Heck, call the Supreme Court – nationally, and in every state – and beg them to protect our rights.

And then, give your loved one a big kiss. In public. Show the world how wonderful gay love really is.

Scissor Sisters so PASSIONate

February 13, 2007

Okay. So, it’s not cool that NBC is killing “Passions.” The show has the hottest guys … and a monkey! Orangutan, actually, but whose counting.

On the bright side they’re going off the air with a bang … from The Scissor Sisters. The super-queer band performed on the February 8 show. Yes, really.

If you’re like us and work during the day, and you forgot to TiVo it. Well, god bless YouTube.

You can watch the video here. Isn’t Jake Shear’s hot? No wonder he was in our Sexiest poll. But why didn’t he rank higher?

King and King in Hot Water

February 13, 2007

"Very well, Mother.... I must say, though, I've never cared much for princesses."

So says the prince and main character in “King and King,” the children’s book at the center of a gay contretemps (stupid/fancy word for brouhaha).

The prince wants to marry and prince and become King and King of the kingdom, and because it’s a children’s book: they do.

Unless you’re in Massachusetts. That’s where a conservative family was shocked – shocked! – that their five year-old child was exposed to such homosexuality.

Brokeback Mountain Loses

February 12, 2007

After losing the Oscar to Crash, perhaps no one is surprised that Brokeback Mountain still loses things. (Except fans hearts, that is. The film is firmly ensconced in so many minds it's destined to be a classic for years to come.

Anyway: it lost the Grammy award for Best Film Score last night to ... Walk The LIne!!! Yeah, that lame Reese Witherspoon/Johnny Cash "thing."

Other gay losers: Melissa Etheridge lost for her song used in Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth. And because the Grammys are always about thrirteen (or two) years behind, Dolly Parton lost for "Travelin' Thru from Transamerica.

Gay winner, sort of: Madonna won for Best Dance song.

Gay Short Wins Brit Prize

February 12, 2007

The fancy BAFTA awards (the Brit Oscars) were a bit of a disappointment for the gays. Almodovar dissed. Although The Queen won Best Pic and Actress, and we do love that movie.

BUT!!! Surprise us with the winner of the “Best Animated Short”. Ian William Gouldstone’s sexy, sultry, and personal short film, Guy 101 … won.

And there’s an easy link from the BAFTA site to Gouldstone’s site where you can watch the movie. We kinda loved the film since we’ve been a few similar situations. And so wer’er guessing that OUTzoneTV.com viewers will enjoy it, too.

Check it out HERE. It’s a Quicktime movie and you can even download it and keep it for yourself … free.

Gus Van Sant : Alcohol Diversion?

February 12, 2007

Director Gus Van Sant first won our little queer film loving hearts with the River Phoenix-starring flick My Own Private Idaho. Yeah, okay, so he’s also made some serious duds like Good Will Hunting starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (eye candy, but what a bore).

So we feel a bit sorry for him today when we learned that he’s agreed to attend an “alcohol diversion program,” according to his lawyer.

Van Sant was busted in Portland driving drunk. We don’t know why it’s called a “diversion” program. If you do, email us.

According to the bible-of-truth In Touch Weekly, Britney has been involved with several lesbian sex romps.

"Sometimes it was three girls, and sometimes there were more like six," an anonymous insider told the magazine. “I heard about her being with girls at least 20 times while they were married."

''We claim ourselves to be the coziest couple ever. We have something called 'naked Sundays,''' the 26-year-old pop star told Ellen DeGeneres this week.

''You have to keep marriage alive, spice it up,'' says Aguilera, who married in November 2005. So the couple stays in on Sundays, she says. ''We do everything naked. We cook naked.''

So kudos to John. You join Martina Navratilova, Esra Tuaolo, Billy Beane and Amelie Mauresmo, and Billie Jean King in our pantheon of queer athletic gods.

"He is coming out of the closet as a gay man,” Amaechi’s publicist Howard Bragman said.

No More Gay Sex for Ted Haggard

February 07, 2007

We’ve been reading a lot today about poor Reverend Ted Haggard, who claims that he is now, one hundred percent, no foolin’ heterosexual. And boy we wish him the best of luck with that one.

According to CNN.com, Reverend Tim Ralph, one of the four ministers who helped turn Haggard straight (there’s no other way to say that…) has said that he is convinced that the process has worked.

"He is completely heterosexual," Ralph said. "That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing."

We don’t understand the quote either. We’ve been saying it to each other for an hour, trying to figure it out.

The four ministers have also concluded that Haggard only had sex with one guy, Mike Jones. "If we're going to be proved wrong, somebody else is going to come forward, and that usually happens really quickly," he said. "We're into this thing over 90 days and it hasn't happened."

Kylie Minogue: Exhibitionist

February 07, 2007

Much ado about Kylie in London this week. The Victoria and Albert Museum is set to open it’s “Kylie: An Exhibition” tomorrow, featuring costumes, sound, and visuals of the changing career of the pop icon.

The museum’s website says that the exhibition “will also examine life behind the scenes and give some insight into how a major international tour develops -- from initial concept to first live performance.”

But an article in today’s New York Times is stating that criticism of the event is growing. A former director of London’s Design Museum, Stephen Bayley, has criticized the show, saying, “You can make excellent things popular, but it’s not the same as saying popular things are excellent.”

The Minogue exhibition is the tip of the ice-berg. Art critics have also taken issue with the National Portrait Gallery’s “Face of Fashion” exhibition, which is set to feature photographs of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Kate Moss.

Straight Dudes R Stupid

February 06, 2007

What’s up with the straight guys lately?

The other day, we posted this story about Jeremy Piven telling a magazine that he’s gay. And then today, we read that Josh Holloway, the hunky and incessantly shirtless star of “Lost,” has told Elle magazine that he’d like to have sex with his plump fellow actor Jorge Garcia who plays “Hurley”.

The reason for this bear-licious predilection? Holloway says “at least he’d cuddle me good afterwards.”

Holloway is allegedly straight, and this “gay” response came after Elle asked Holloway which “male” costar he’d want to sleep with. We know that if he were really gay he more than likely would want to sleep with Matthew Fox. In fact, we know a few straight guys who would sleep with Matthew Fox.

Snickers is So Gay

February 06, 2007

We don't know if you saw the ad. If you were watching the Super Bowl, we're sure you had your reasons. (Prince...) However, you may have missed an ad for Snickers, wherein two mechanics accidentally make out over a Snickers bar, and then, in order to "erase" it, they drink motor oil, or tear some chest hair out.

Yeah, we love it when an expression of love turns into the punchline of an absurd joke.

In response to the flap the commercial caused by several LGBT groups, Mars Co. has pulled the ads from the air, but says that it refuses to offer an apology.

In a statement to the New York Times, spokesperson Alice Nathanson said, "As with all of our Snickers advertising, our goal was to capture the attention of our core Snickers consumer, primarily 18-to-24-year-old adult males."

Uh-huh. Thereby re-enforcing negative stereotypes perpetuating homosexual love as both deviant and...sorry, Alice, please go on...

Gays Over Broadway

February 05, 2007

No, not flying queens. But “over” as in tired of it. That’s the thesis of an expose in Variety, and we here at OUTzoneTV.com can only say: Yeah, and so what?

We’ve been sick and tired of the Theater Queen stereotype since we were young gay pups. And we also love the stereotype because it’s true. Gays have pretty good taste (usually) and love live theater, understand the drama behind the drama, and the “reality” behind the “acting”.

But we are not stupid. Broadway has been filled with crap for decades. “Spamalot” anyone?

The other crazy note in the Variety story, which we recommend reading, is that they propose that television is taking the place of theater in the life of gay men.

Montana: Gay Mecca?

February 05, 2007

In this twisted day and age of “marriage defense” acts and creepy Dick Cheney pretending that his lesbian daughter is “top secret”, it’s no wonder the big empty state of Montana is beginning to look like a gay rights promised land.

A bill before the state legislature would add "gender identity or expression" and "sexual orientation" as categories protected from discrimination.

And here’s the clincher: the bill is likely to pass, and the governor may sign it!

"When we as a society fail to recognize the basic humanity of some people, civil rights laws with their designated classes are needed," a legislature told the Judiciary Committee Friday.

Not that rude, stupid people aren’t trying to stop the action.

"I don’t know what they would put on (the doors for transgender people). Maybe a question mark," said Dallas Erickson, with Montana Citizens for Decency Through Law.

Ain’t that a classy name for a bigoted organization.

Celine Dion’s Husband = Loser?

February 02, 2007

Whatever! In an attempt to set the record straight about one of its best customers, Caesars Palace took the unusual step Thursday of disclosing the casino losses of Celine Dion's husband and manager, Rene Angelil.

Okay, in addition to chest-thumping and that baby book: Celine, get a life.

It did so because of a report in London's Observer that quoted a senior official of Caesars' corporate parent as saying that Angelil gambled as much as $1 million a week. Jan Jones, senior vice president of communications and government relations for Caesars owner, Harrah's Entertainment Inc., later said she was speaking hypothetically and that she did not know how much he gambled. She also apologized for referring to him by name.

Caesars said Thursday that Angelil's casino losses in 2005 and 2006 totaled exactly $230,300, but were offset by his tournament poker winnings of $259,079. The casino said it released the totals with his permission.

Drugs + Sex

February 02, 2007

Couldn't that headline mean just about everything? (That's why we love it!) But today we're talking about Crystal Meth and gay sex, a disastrous combination. Yet also something that isn't new, and has been worked against, struggled with for years.

How many public education campaigns have we witnessed trying to teach men that if they do crystal and have sex, they are bound to make mistakes, screw longer, break condoms, or not use them at all. It's touchy and real and controversial.

But however hard these previous efforts have failed, we're always willing to support people who are trying something new. So it's cool to see the launch of "tweakends.org", a new website loaded with very candid information about Meth and sex.

Now it's unlikely that anyone high is going to go to Tweakends instead of a pick-up site. But if just a few people learn something...it will be worth it. Check out the site: www.tweakends.org.

Tim Gunn's Big News

First, you can catch the inimitable host of "Project Runway" on ABC tonight as he makes his acting debut on "Ugly Betty.” But the really big news is Tim Gunn has a brand new job as Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of Liz Claiborne!

Congrats, Tim! What does this mean? Well, Tim will be leaving Parsons where he has worked for the last 23 years. (We figure it’s about time he graduated.)

As far as his new job goes, this is what Claiborne’s CEO William L. McComb had to say about our Tim:

"While we knew of and had great respect for Tim through his work at Parsons, we like many Americans got to know him even better through Bravo's ‘Project Runway.’ Tim knows we fully support his Bravo projects, including his own upcoming series ‘Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.'
