GOSH, I WONDER IF IT WILL BE THE NEXT BROKEBACK?
The Advocate reported this week that Another Gay Movie (AKA the gay Porky's) did smashingly well in its debut last weekend at two theaters in New York and Los Angeles, taking in a per screen average of $16,658. We haven't seen numbers like this since Jake cuddled Heath. I'm not a gambling man, but I'm ready to wager that Another Gay Movie will follow in Brokeback's steps all the way to Oscar glory! Oh, and I have this great stock tip about a company called Enron, too.

DALLAS LOVES GAY SEX
Texas may have outlawed gay marriage, but Netflix patrons in Dallas sure love their gay sex! Or at least they love their Gay Sex in the 70's as the documentary was the number one movie being rented by Netflix users in JR Ewing's old stomping grounds. Now if only they'd gotten out to vote against that amendment...

HMMM, I ALWAYS PICTURED ABE VIGODA AS SNOWMISER
NBC just announced that our very own Harvey Fierstein has been cast as the Heatmiser in their upcoming live production of The Year Without a Santa Claus. Yes, that Year Without a Santa Claus, the stop animation classic by Bass and Rankin that makes Christmas, well, Christmas. The two-hour movie is set to air during the 2006 Holiday season and also stars Delta Burke, Chris Kattan, and Michael McKean as Snowmiser.

Best of all for gay viewers, Harvey gets to have a same-sex love interest when Hermy (played by Lance Bass!) from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer finally comes out and moves in with Heatmiser! Unfortunately, Hermy is actually confused about his sexuality. He and Heatmiser fight a lot, call each other “faggot”, argue about who is really gay (based on who does what to whom), and beat each other up before Hermy finally realizes he is really straight and starts sleeping with girl elves. Or am I mixing this up with that brilliant plot on Rescue Me?

DOES THIS MEAN WE'VE ARRIVED?
Our interview this week with Queer Eye on the Straight Guy's Jai Rodriguez became a story unto itself. In that interview, our reporter asked Jai, “ How will Queer Eye continue to break new ground?” To which Jai responded, “ Well, we haven't been asked back for 2007. Maybe this is how we are going out with a bang.”

Other websites misinterpreted Jai's statement to mean Queer Eye was canceled leading a very hot under-the-collar Bravo got in touch with yours truly to inform me we had misquoted Jai. A review of the interview transcript revealed that, no, we hadn't. In fact, Jai's next sentence, “Maybe this is how we are going out with a bang” makes it clear that Jai was definitely referring to possible cancellation. And since the story ran, we've heard from a reader who reported that she attended a public event with the Queer Eye guys, and all of them were very open and very public about the fact the show might be coming to an end (and for the record, it's all on videotape!).

The only reason I mention this at all is that some sites are reporting Bravo's clarification that Queer Eye isn't canceled (which we graciously posted on our site) as also saying that we misquoted Jai and made false statements. I've since contacted Bravo's spokesperson who assures me she only gave Bravo their official statement and in no way impugned our credibility.

And we'll leave it at that. Kiss, kiss.
