All You Need is Morrissey

May 30, 2008

We just watched Morrissey's new video for "All You Need is Me" on Stereogum. And we couldn't agree with their comment on it more, "He's been implying as much for a really long time, so this song has been a career in the making." So true. But we are going to miss him when he's gone, just like he says.

It's kind of a funny video. Morrissey's got a tambourine and there a bunch of boys in tight t-shirts following him around and they're in some tropical place. A good beginning of summer video.

Alan Ball to do US version of "Bad Girls"

May 28, 2008

This is very exciting news. Alan Ball (Six Feet Under and American Beauty) has signed on to produce an American version of the British serial Bad Girls for HBO. You know the women's prison drama with overt gayness and loads of different accents. The British series on ITV ended in 2006 but has been rerunning on Logo here in the states. But let's be honest, we didn't much watch after Nikki Wade and Helen Stewart finally hooked it up and ran off. It's sort of like how The Office is a bit boring after Pam and Jim hooked up. Ah but the good old Nikki and Helen days. And can we get a woop woop for Shell Dockley? Favorite female psychopath for sure. Anyhow, it seems like it will be in good hands with Mr. Ball who's done some amazing things. We're excited to see what comes out and how gay it is, but we will miss the accents.

Canoodling at Cannes

May 27, 2008

We love a good, celebrity gay rumor. Or lesbian whisper. So it's pretty fun for us when Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson neck on a yacht (at a party thrown by P-Diddy during Cannes) and tongues start wagging like crazy. Not only is it titillating, then you get all the spin off stories. Lindsay's dad thinks it's totally obvi that they're together. There are public gay denials. Rumors of engagements. We can't wait for the headline: "Lohan Pregnant with Samantha's Seed." That will be awesome.

Gyllenhaal To Star as Prince

May 22, 2008

No not Maggie, Jake. And no, not the artist Prince. That would be weird. Prince of Persia - as in the video game. We can’t speak for any of the new versions of the game, but we used to play it on MS-Dos in the early nineties. Even then we thought the prince was cute…or we identified with him. Back then he was just a little blonde guy in a white outfit running endlessly to the right through a castle, poking at bad guys with a sword. Surely the new game and the movie are more complex, but we think of that simplicity with fondness.

Anyhow, back to the handsome Jake and the movie. According to Hollywood Reporter, the plot is as follows: “In the fantasy adventure, Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in 6th century Persia who must join forces with Tamina, a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.”

It sounds like Days of Our Lives, but for dudes.

Do Your Thing on the Runway

May 21, 2008

Logo has given the thumbs up to a new reality show: RuPaul’s Drag Race, a competition to see who will be the next best drag supermodel. So awesome. Let us just say for the record, we Love RuPaul. Seriously. And nothing sounds better than a drag-off on TV.

Right now on the website you can vote for queens auditioning for a spot and even submit to be chosen yourself! We know there are at least a few of you girls out there that are hoping for your big drag break. You better work.

Watch this video and see why RuPaul thinks Tyra and Heidi better step off.

Ellen and Portia Engaged

May 20, 2008

The day after gay marriage became legal in California, Ellen announced on her daytime TV show that she and long-term partner Portia de Rossi are going to tie the knot. The audience screamed in delight. And then of course Fox News had to go and act like it was something bad for America. But instead of putting those anger-inducing clips up, we thought we'd just put up Ellen's announcement. We could care less about marriage but it's still sweet.

Gays Can Marry in California!

May 15, 2008

We found out via text message (three of them) that the California State Supreme Court today struck down two state laws defining marriage as unions between a man and a woman. This makes California the second state, after Massachusetts to allow same-sex marriage.

“In view of the substance and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship,” Chief Justice Ronald M. George wrote of marriage for the majority, “the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.”

Not just Californians, but gays everywhere are totally stoked about this. We don’t even want to get married and we’re pretty darn excited.

A Very Gay SNL

May 12, 2008

Shia La Beouf got all gay on SNL this weekend in several sketches. Plus he has a stellar mullet. For your viewing pleasure, the gayest MacGruber ever:

Why Martha Plimpton is So Cool

May 07, 2008

The Advocate interviewed Martha Plimpton for their new issue and then passed on the scraps that didn’t make it to the folks at Queerty. We read both, twice. She’s got a new Broadway show opening, Top Girls, that allows her to continue her legacy of strange and awesome roles. We like so many of them, but one of our favorites is Eye of God, where she has a removable, glass eye.

But our crush on her definitely started back in the days of Goonies. And although she claims to never get hit on by lesbians, who would think of her as nerdy and provincial, we would just like to say, for the record, that we would definitely hit on her at the gay bar or wherever.

(Read on for both Martha's and our diverging thoughts on the future life of Stef Steinbrenner.)

Vote For Your Favorite TV Character!

May 06, 2008

We love weird contests like this. Although, we’re a bit peeved that last years winner, Kara Thrace (Starbuck) is ineligible, because we’re still totally into her. There are lots of gays to vote for, including Marc St. James from Ugly Betty, Herbert from Family Guy, bisexual Cylon Number 6 and Barney Stinson played by the somewhat recently, out, gay Neil Patrick Harris.

Number Six is a total hottie and we sincerely believe that TV has been made better because of her existence, but to be honest, we are rooting for Dexter Morgan and Dwight Shrute. We just have a special place in our hearts for socially awkward men like that.

Vote here and we’ll see who bests the competition in this round robin tournament. Also let us know who you think was left off this initial lineup of contestants.

Kevin Proposes to Scotty

May 05, 2008

Brothers and Sisters has gone and done it. Gay marriage is in the works. Last night Kevin proposed to Scotty in words, we can only imagine, millions of straight, middle-aged women found incredibly romantic. Something about changing the lightbulbs and family. And there were some bended knees and a celebratory kiss.

Okay, we’re not total curmudgeons, it was pretty sweet. We’re suckers for lovey dovey stuff like that. (Not marriage so much, but undying affection definitely.) But wouldn’t it be nice to see a wedding proposal that included things like, “You’re really hot in the sack,” or “I like you because you’re a pain in the ass?”

OMG Miss Rap Supreme!

May 01, 2008

We really hope you guys have already discovered this show on VH1, because it's our new total obsession. Ten female MCs compete for 100,000 dollars and the title of Miss Rap Supreme on a set that looks like it's weirdly made of cardboard and glitter. Why is it so awesome? We have a few ideas. The girls are total characters and also total hotties and we have a strong suspicion that more than one of them bats for our team. (They even performed at a lesbian bar last week.) Plus there's a lot of crotch grabbing and swearing, which always makes for good TV, but they actually have an excuse. It's what they're supposed to do.

The latest episode was all about the male swagger and the girls had to dress up like famous rappers (drag!) and they looked so freaking awesome and were totally into it. Also, there's this really strange part of the episode where they get all S&M on a doofy guy in a bellboy outfit. Oh yeah and then they spit for Ghostface Killah. And out rhyme Too Short. It is seriously almost too awesome for us to handle.
