Meme: Bravo Cancels "Kathy," "Calvin & Hobbes" Grows Up, and Sigourney Weaver Geeks Out
8 hours ago
Lydia Cornell is a radio host, but to some of us, she was Sara Rush, the bouncy blonde daughter on Too Close for Comfort in the 1980s. She makes a powerful argument in favor of marriage equality in the name of her lesbian sister, but also in the name of Jesus.
Senator Rand Paul, for all his talk of a lack of government interference in citizens lives, really hates the idea of marriage equality. He doesn't think he can win on the federal level, so his goal is simple: rely on bigotry and fear at the state level to delay it for decades or more. "I think right now if we say we're only going to [have] a federally mandated one man, one woman marriage, we're going to lose that battle because the country is going the other way right now. If we're to say each state can decide, I think »

Watch/Discuss Last Night's Double Episode Of "Happy Endings:" Homeo & Dudeliet
6 April 2013 5:28 AM, PDT
In the first of this week's episodes, when Max tries out Jane and Alex's long-time hairdresser, Krisjahn (guest star RuPaul), he gets some good salon gossip, but his big mouth might start a Kerkovich war. And when the Steak Me Home truck is stolen, Dave and Penny try to find the culprit.
Favorite Moments:
"Krisjahn - very common gay fake French name" "What's the name of that horse that goes to war?" "War Biscuit. Duh." "Ghost truck." Alex and the vaseline. And the life-size Brad doll.
"I don't know what's more disturbing, the chaos that Jane and Alex caused, or how much attention this paper paid to two little girls." Sister dance! This! Just when I thought Max couldn't be more adorable. I think he's hot as Dave 2, although I agree with Brad that "you look like Suze Orman if she stopped shaving."
Next page! Last night's second episode.

"Spartacus: War of the Damned" Episode 9 Recap: Ye Olde Gladiator Magic
6 April 2013 4:26 AM, PDT
Picture it: Sicily (well, at least Italy,) 1922. BC. (Okay, actually it’s more like 68 BC, but you see where I am heading with this.) A small group of Roman soldiers huddle around a fire. Their leader grouses that they have only one rabbit to eat amongst them. Guess his portion didn't include the foot because suddenly, out of the night, a flaming arrow pierces him through the gut. Hmm.
Perspective. It’s all about perspective. And, in many ways, this penultimate episode of Spartacus is about perspective as well. Beautifully, the episode takes a good long glance backward before the series hurtles inevitably toward its bittersweet conclusion. We spend time remembering old friends and go back to where this all started—back to the sands, back to fighting gladiator to gladiator, as if we never left them at all.
Attacking this small group of Roman soldiers is Spartacus and company. »

Briefs: Michael Urie's "He's Way More Famous Than You," A Big "Vampire Diaries" Spoiler, and Darren Criss is a Triple Threat

Here is last week's caption pic winner. This week's caption pic is at the bottom of the page.
Thanks to everyone for participating! The winner is ...
"I guess it's true. Heels do make the outfit."
Thanks to OrdinaryJoe for this week's winning caption!
Weekend Birthdays! (Note: Birthday shoutouts are for out entertainers, allies, or for any celeb that seems to have a following on Ae). Paul Rudd (above) is 43, Agnetha Faltskog is 63, Eliza Coupe is 30, Russell Crowe is 49, Janis Ian is 62, and Paula Cole is 45. She won the Best New Artist Grammy for "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone" and may be best known for that Dawson's Creek song. Her followup album Amen was a gigantic flop, but it did include "I Believe In Love," which didn't even chart on the Hot 100, but if I ever do a Lost Hits Of The 90's, this will be high on the list. »

Happy Birthday, Bette Davis! Here Are 5 Phenomenal GIFs Of The Silver Screen Goddess
5 April 2013 2:24 PM, PDT
Bette Davis in Jezebel (1938)
Today would've been Bette Davis' 105th birthday, and I hope your seatbelts have been fastened, because it's been a bumpy (albeit legendary) ride for the two-time Oscar winner. Before I unleash five perfect Bette Davis GIFs on you, here are a few philosophical questions about the silver screen's most sarcastic dame.
1) Why does no one talk about The Whales of August? I don't care how boring it was. It had Davis and Gish, who dared to live until the 1990s, people.
2) Why do so few people reference Bette Davis' gig as the original matriarch of Aaron Spelling's Hotel and how she was replaced by Anne Baxter during the series?
3) Is anyone else heartbroken that Bette Davis' classic advice to L.A. residents -- "Take Fountain" -- barely applies anymore? With that damn school blocking Fountain on the East side of Hollywood, the »

Adam Lambert and Sauli Koskinen Call It Quits
5 April 2013 12:01 PM, PDT
Relationships aren't easy, and celebrity relationships have their own added problems. But in a sad and surprising turn, Adam Lambert has announced that he and Sauli Koskinen have to decided to end things:
“Sauli and I remain really good friends, and I know it’s a cliché thing to say. But it’s totally true,” he said. “I just gave him a coffee and bagel earlier today. He’s a great person and we’ve had an amazing couple of years together. Things have just run their course.”
In what must be devastating to the tabloids, there was nothing scandalous about the reasons why ... it was just a question of hectic schedules.
“I’ve been getting really busy and traveling a lot and and he’s been getting really busy because he has a show he’s filming for Finnish television,” he said. “So we just decided to part ways. »

Weeklings!: In Honor of Ebert, The Movies We Hated, Hated, Hated!
5 April 2013 10:46 AM, PDT
Even in the age of Rotten Tomatoes when all of film criticism is distilled into handy rubrics and composite grades, Roger Ebert's familiar, Pulitzer-stamped byline stood out from the pack. It was only Tuesday when Ebert announced he'd be taking a "leave of presence" from his astonishingly consistent dispatch of reviews, and Thursday brought the devastating news of his death from cancer at the age of 70. For many film lovers this is an unthinkable loss, one that compels us to circle back to the place we love most: the movies.
Ebert was direct, incisive, and heartfelt in his reviews, and when he hated a movie, he was often mercilessly funny. To celebrate the impressive rancor of his review anthology I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie, this edition of Weeklings! focuses on the movies I've hated most -- and maybe you've hated them too. The usual suspects like Grease 2 and Crash appear, »

The Top Five Moments From "Project Runway: Teams" Episode Eleven
5 April 2013 10:44 AM, PDT
Crying On The Inside
This week the designers have to create a "fashion-forward editorial look," which is completely meaningless. So let me put it another way. "Nina wants something pretty." And here are her rules: No red carpet looks. No t-shirts & no pants. No gowns. "The look needs to be bold in the color, in the shape, in the print, in the silhouette, in something, because that's what editors will want to photograph." Unfortunately, the losing designer breaks one of those rules. But so does the winner.
Here are the 5 most memorable moments.
1. Duets From Hell
"I had all I could take, and let's just say, I now have this special Richard souvenir"
The five remaining designers get extra special help this week ... from the discarded designers. Um ... yay? Stanley is brutal to poor Tu, turning him into his own personal Veedenfrugen (my undying love to whoever gets that reference). Meanwhile, »

Ultimate TV Beefcake Tourney Round 3 Update
5 April 2013 6:44 AM, PDT
We're less than 48 hours away from the close of Round 3 voting (Round closes Saturday evening at 11:59pm) and there's a huge upset brewing. Right now Merlin is kicking the crap out of Glee, while in more expected news, Arrow is having a tough time of it against Teen Wolf.
Before you make your final decision, let's celebrate the hotness of each show ... but we'll sidestep the usual suspects and pay tribute to the supporting beefcake. That's where the true flavor is. We'll start with Merlin vs. Glee
Colin Morgan, Bradley James, blah, blah, blah. Yes, they're hot, but how about a little love for Rupert Young (Sir Leon), Tom Hopper (Sir Percival) and Eoin Macken (Gwaine).
Stoner Brett (Ryan Heinke) may be unkempt and reek of weed, but this hot ginger is sweet-natured and well ... mellow. He might not be ... typical beefcake , but he definitely gives us the munchies. »

Watch! The "Carrie" Trailer Offers Blood, Vengeance, But No Dirty Pillows
5 April 2013 6:43 AM, PDT
Here's the first official trailer for the Carrie remake, which hits all the expected marks: Plug It Up (this time with cell phone pictures), The Prayer Closet, "They're All Going To Laugh At You," The Grand Guignol Prom, but unlike Brain DePalma's version (which didn't have the budget), Kimberley Pierce will take Carrie outside of school to deliver death and destruction to the entire town.
The effects look good, and it has a game cast (but none of the movie versions have come close to the Carrie represented in the book), but time will tell if it's worthy of comparison to the 1976 classic, or if it's just Carrie-okie.
Carrie opens October 18th, but if your jonesing for a telekinetic fix, check out other Girls With The Power.

"American Idol" Recap: 20 Necessary Observations About The Top 7 Elimination
5 April 2013 5:52 AM, PDT
We learned on Wednesday's Top 7 night that the current crop of American Idol stars probably aren't destined for starring roles in Rock of Ages, and that should sit well with all of them. But we learned on Thursday night's elimination show that life continues to be unfair for the pitch-perfect contestants left in the competition and wonderfully fortunate for that other guy. Spin your shiny little bow-tie, you meek little Mephistopheles. Here are 20 observations about Thursday's Coke-sponsored spectacle.
1. That group performance of "Somebody to Love" was, of course, stupid. Something about Janelle's aggressive smiley-ness is grating to me today. Also, Lazaro's voice seriously seems to be dwindling from week to week, while the vibrancy of his clashing apparel is holding steady at "completely jarring."
2. Did I say "Somebody to Love" sucked? Well, it did until Candice tore through it with the raging heavy machinery of her voice, leaving everyone else and their hapless grins decapitated. »

Meme: "The Carrie Diaries" Brendan Dooling Talks Playing Gay In the 80s, Cindy McCain Joins "8 the Play," and How Danielle Fishel Asked Lance Bass To Prom
5 April 2013 4:49 AM, PDT
The Carrie Diaries' Brendan Dooling has had a whirlwind first season, going from girlfriend to coming out, and it's just going to get more intense. Still, Brendan doesn't know where his story might go in season two, if it happens. "I mean, in the books, he lives in a tent in his backyard because his dad doesn't want him in the house. I'm not sure where Amy Harris and the writers are going to take his story. You know, I don't know how much of — godwilling, Season 2 — I don't know how much of that would be Carrie and Walt in the city, as opposed to Walt in Castlebury. But there's certainly a lot more adversity coming his way. He's had support in the closet, and now I don't know what his support system is like outside of it." And Entertainment Weekly has a very spoilery photo you probably want to see. »

TV on Tap: "Glee" Grabs Katey Sagal, Comedy Central takes the Late Night Crown and "Mad Men" Style Returns to Sunday Nights

Angela Lansbury talking show tunes!
That's why you should be excited about a new season of Michael Feinstein's American Songbook.
News
FX has issued an apology to fans of The Americans who found their DVR recordings cut off early. The episode ran for 67 minutes but listings had the run time going for an hour, meaning many viewers missed vital scenes. FX is putting the full episode online for viewers to catch up.
The next target for Adult Swim — 80s detective shows. Deadline reports that the late night block has ordered a new live action series, Hole to Hole, that will parody 80s detective shows.
Since I find Artie one of the more toxic characters on Glee, I didn't expect to be excited at the thought of meeting his mother, but she's going to be played by Katey Sagal (who was once one of Bette Midler's Harlettes) which suddenly has »

Iconic Film Critic Roger Ebert Passes Away at 70
4 April 2013 1:11 PM, PDT
Film critic Roger Ebert passed away today at the age of 70, marking the end of an era in film criticism.
To many of us of a certain age, this comes as devastating news. Roger and his critic partner Gene Siskel were a part of my formative years, and I remember sneaking downstairs at 1 Am on Saturday nights to watch At The Movies, and I followed the show through its various incarnations, until Gene's death in 1999.
Tomorrow Louis Virtel will take a look at the impact Roger made in helping to shine the spotlight on gay films throughout the years, but below you can see Gene and Roger behind-the-scenes at their hilarious bitchy best.
Goodbye, Roger, and rest in peace.

The 5 Non-"Psycho" Anthony Perkins Movies You Need To See
4 April 2013 12:23 PM, PDT
Anthony Perkins in Goodbye Again
Happy birthday to the man I call my Time Machine Husband (Tm), Anthony Perkins. The effete, beautiful actor best known for his astonishing performance as Norman Bates in Psycho would've been 81 today, and without even reading Charles Winecoff's gripping biography Split Image, you can tell in Mr. Perkins' performances that he was enigmatic, complicated, and conflicted. Though Perkins died of AIDS in 1992, his silver screenlegacy endures thanks to his lengthy, strange filmography.
Hollywood wanted Perkins to be the next James Dean, but his vulnerability and (frankly) apparent gayness stood at odds with that demand. As I like to say, we can't rewrite cinematic history to include all the wonderful gay characters we deserve, so we as gay entertainment anthropologists have to find our stories in the nuances, innuendos, and otherwise untold stories hidden right onscreen (perhaps unintentionally), right within all the stated heterosexuality.

Christian Antidormi of "Spartacus" Talks Caesar Rape and Taking Down Crixus
4 April 2013 10:57 AM, PDT
Christian Antidormi went to big heights the final Spartacus season as young Tiberius.
Only two episodes left to go for the Starz series Spartacus: War Of The Damned, and if you think the testosterone mix of blood, sex and tears is going to go out quietly, you’re mistaken in a big way.
In the previous episode, we saw our gay brother Agron (Dan Feuerriegel) tragically fall during battle, but it may have been an even bigger shock when Crixus, played by hunky Manu Bennett, died at the sword of young Tiberius, or "Tibby" as fans on this site have taken to calling him.
Will Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) and his remaining crew get their revenge on Tibby, Caesar (Todd Lasance) and Tibby’s father, Cassus (Simon Merrells)? Or will they continue to fall one by one until next week’s series finale?

Watch! Vh-1's Upcoming Reality Show "Off Pitch" Is an Adult "Glee" ... With A Touch More Insanity
4 April 2013 9:42 AM, PDT
The upcoming Vh-1 reality show Off Pitch explores a season in the life of the adult show choir Grand River Singers, of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, where show choir is religion, the Grand River Singers is truly one of a kind. They are a Glee-inspired, competitively auditioned community performance group comprised of former show choir geeks, drama club dorks, and those with their own unique and special brand of flash and pizzazz. In their world, sequins, fringe and hot pink crushed velvet (preferably all on one costume) are considered the mark of a true and stylish diva.
Below you can meet the cast and see some highlights as they "plan to take their show beyond small-town La Crosse and onto a much larger stage...like the Wisconsin Cow Chip Festival, Valleyfair Theme Park and the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota."
I dare you to watch this and not »

"Arrow" Recap: Things Fall Apart
4 April 2013 7:07 AM, PDT
Arrow this week decided to change things up and have the person to die in the first thirty seconds not be a victim of the Hood. Instead, it's some poor woman hopped up drugs that make her want to go and play in traffic.
Vertigo, the drug designed by the Count...
No, not this guy
...is back. And it's new and improved. And it goes and screws up my sweet pack of boys, so I am seriously holding a grudge. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Detestable Detective Lance storms into Verdant, Oliver's new night club and demands to know which one of them injected the girl with drugs. Or basically that's what his ranting amounted to, anyway. When they point out that they can't hope to keep track of their hundreds of customers, Lance sneers at them and goes on his detestable way.

Watch/Discuss Last Night's "Modern Family:" The Future Dunphys
4 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT
Claire and Phil see the "Future Dunphys" at the hospital, and Cam and Mitch try to teach Lily about her cultural heritage
Favorite Moments:
All of the stuff with Lily, Cam, Mitch and Gloria was gold, and some of the funniest scenes of the season, especially the restaurant bit, which is classic Modern Family. Cam and Mitch trying to explain Vietnam. "Bikes! So many bikes!" "This is a special soup called Pho." "You told me never to say that word." Mitch constantly saying the exact wrong thing. "You just caused a scene in a restaurant, and you can't get any more like your daddies than that." The Future Dunphys (including Justine Bateman).
