Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (November 2, 2007)

WELL, IF PEREZ GETS HIS OWN SHOW THEN WHY NOT HIM TOO?
Logo (AfterElton.com's parent company) just confirmed they have greenlit a pilot starring none other than Chris "Leave Britney Alone" Crocker. Oh my. The pilot is to be produced by World of Wonder and will document Crocker's life as an openly gay video performer in rural Tennessee. So I'm picturing lots of a demurely dressed Crocker reading poetry by Emily Dickinson and being feted all around Tennessee as that state's favorite son. Either that or a mass lynching led by presidential candidate Fred Thompson.

I guess this makes Chris the second gay boy to make the leap from video to television following on the heel's of OutZoneTV's William Sledd. I'm told the show will be in the tradition of other MTV Networks shows such as Tila Tequlia's A Shot at Love and Perez Hilton's What Perez Says. Hmm, I not sure I'd call that a tradition exactly.

IF CHRIS CROCKER GETS A SHOW, THEN SO SHOULD I DAMMIT!
Well, I can't help you get your own show on Logo, but the network is looking to cast gay and bisexual men for the second season of their documentary series Be Real: Stories of Queer America, the show that celebrates "gay life through the eyes of those that live it." You can learn all the casting details here, but I'll nutshell the details for you.

To be cast you need to have the looks of model, a complete lack of modesty so that you'll willingly drop your clothes at the drop of a hat, and the ability to read absolutely absurd dialogue with a straight face. Oh, wait — that's the casting notice for Dante's Cove. My bad.

Actually, Logo is looking for folks who have big events coming up such as taking your partner home to meet your parents for the first time, a gay couple hosting the straight family over the holidays for the first time, a couple adopting a child, someone reconciling with an alienated family member or a presidential candidate trying to make up for a really bone-headed appearance with a homophobic ex-gay preacher. (It's your big chance Barack! Go for it!)

Or how about a romantic getaway to Seattle?
