Heath isn’t the only one with an influential gay uncle. Sean Combs credits his fashion sense from his gay uncle. Hmmm, given Sean’s sartorial choices something tells me this uncle wasn’t “incredibly masculine”. Although, in this case, I suppose “fashion sense” means bright, shiny, and gaudy. Hmmm, maybe that means Sean’s uncle was an “incredibly masculine” raccoon.

EMILY WE HARDLY KNEW YOU!
Most wagers were probably on The Book of Daniel to be the first mid-season TV replacement to get axed. Instead it appears it’s the lovely Heather Graham’s head to get figuratively lopped off first. After one episode of Emily’s Reasons Why Not aired—and finished behind Joan Rivers’ Beauty Products Annual 50% Off Sale Infomercial—ABC said “Thanks for flying with us today and Buh-bye!” The show included Khary Payton as Emily’s openly gay best friend. He was a bit swish and rumor has it he’ll be joining Joan to help her sell more body scrub.

BECAUSE WRESTLING ISN’T ALREADY GAY ENOUGH
Pro Wrestling Insider is reporting that World Wrestling Entertainment is considering adding a new gay character to go with one that is already bisexual. Then a third female wrestler will be added to create a three-way romantic triangle. Apparently, the wrestling season plays out like a soap opera. One of the wrestling associations tried some nonsense like this several years ago, but it all turned out to be a bunch of homophobic crap. Something tells me precious little has changed since then.

THE END OF THE SPEAR
That’s the name of Chad Allen’s new movie opening today. In an unlikely bit of casting, Chad was selected to play a Christian missionary killed by natives in Ecuador. Chad also plays the son of the missionary who goes back to complete his father’s work—namely convincing the natives that their God(s) aren’t the real one and they’ll burn in hell if they don’t accept Jesus. You know the drill. Anywho, you can read all about how Chad came to be cast in the part here. You can also read here about how unhappy some Christians are with an openly gay man playing a missionary. They’re almost as upset as if Chad were playing a cowboy.

Among some of the nicer comments are “May God convict Steve Saint [who cast Chad] and may God graciously call Chad Allen to Himself” and “Mr. Allen is a blatant promoter of the homosexual agenda”. Oh, well, it’s not like there are any more pressing issues in the world for these guys to worry about.

MY LUCKY STAR
One of my favorite comic writers is Joe Keenan whose two previous novels—Putting on the Ritz and Blue Heaven—are just flat-out fun and funny. You’re probably familiar with Mr. Keenan’s work though you may not realize it. If you used to watch Frasier, then you used to laugh at Mr. Keenan’s writing. Well, he’s back, with a new novel called My Lucky Star, which again follows the comic trials and travails of Philip Cavanaugh, Philip’s ex-boyfriend, Gilbert, and their brainy friend, Claire. I haven’t read it yet, but I highly recommend it anyway!
