Contrary to all appearances, the world does not revolve around Adam Lambert these days. In fact, there is this other guy named Kris Allen who won a fair few of our reader's hearts even though he bested Adam in the American Idol finale. Kris recently dropped in on John Polly from NewNowNext to answer Tweets from readers and to wish a certain group of readers Happy Holidays! Submitted by on Mon, 2009-11-23 17:02. Watch "30 Rock" episode "Sun Tea": Liz Lemon is Mean to a Gay Cop
I confess I'm one of those who haven't been a big fan of NBC's 30 Rock and it's wacky sense of humor. Of course, now that Cheyenne Jackson is on the show, Gay Editor Bylaws require that I love the show no matter what. (Of course, I'm only joking about that. Except I'm not.) I have always appreciated that 30 Rock has been gay-friendly with lots of usually funny gay jokes and gay episodes (I'm gay for Jamie!) and even Will Arnett as Jack McDonaghey's gay arch nemesis Devon Banks. If there is one criticism of the show's gay characters, it would be as AE reader Whitetee recently pointed out, that they are a little one-note. Submitted by on Sun, 2009-11-22 12:26. Nine Questions With Comedian Billy Eichner
Comedian Billy Eichner has been making a name for himself in New York City for quite some time. A 2005 New York Times article called his late night fake talk show Creation Nation co-starring Robin Taylor "a theatrical phenomenon", and with subsequent appearances on Bravo's A-List Awards and The Showbiz Show with David Spade, Billy has kept bringing the funny ever since. Billy has two shows coming up at Joe's Pub in Manhattan on November 23 and 24th and we recently threw some questions at the jokester to make him bring the funny on command.
1) Rosie, Ellen, Wanda or honorary gay Kathy Griffin? Why? Submitted by on Fri, 2009-11-20 12:21. Adam Lambert Tweets Response to "Out Magazine"Here is Adam Lambert's response to Out Magazine Aaron Hicklin's recent Editor's Letter criticizing Lambert and his management.

Lady GaGa and Beyonce Want You to Watch Them on Their Video Phone"Ever since word first broke that Beyonce and Lady GaGa were teaming up for the video for Beyonce's "Video Phone", folks have wondered how a collaboration between the two would go. Would you it be as delicious as say, lobster and butter or would it be more peanut butter and bubblegum? Well, we just got our hands on the extended version and you can decide for yourselves!

I have to confess I've been skeptical of musicians who seem as much (if not more) about spectacle than they do, oh, say, the actual music. I've never been quite sure of Lady GaGa, but given how pro-gay she is, I've always been inclined to give here the benefit of the doubt. This week she released the video for her the song "Bad Romance" which is definitely full of spectacle, and actually the song itself isn't half bad. I'm not entirely sure what's going and I doubt anyone involved is, but it's five minutes long and kept me watching. And I have to say the final shot appears to be how I always expected poor Amy Winehouse to end up. Submitted by on Sat, 2009-11-14 11:46. Confusion Over Whether Chris Colfer is Gay or Not
Last October, The Advocate posted an interview with Chris Colfer in which they said Colfer was gay and out. This was the email they sent to me and presumably other media outlets: This is Chris Colfer's first interview with the gay press. He's gay, talks about how he couldn't come out in high school because people in his town get killed for that. Really smart, fun interview. It wasn't actually Chris' first interview with the gay press (we had already briefly chatted with him) but the interview included the following exchange:
Personally, my next question would've been to clarify that Colfer was indeed saying he was gay, but Goldberg and The Advocate seemed certain enough of what Chris was saying that they not only ran the interview that way, but pitched it as Chris talking about being gay. Maybe. Maybe not. Today USA Today has an interview up with the following passage:
This prompted a number of blogs to wonder if Colfer was now back in the closet and even The Advocate posted a follow-up. They also cite an interview Colfer gave to Access Hollywood a while ago where he seems to be comparing his own coming out to that of Kurt's on Glee. So is Colfer in or out? Gay or straight? I don't know and I don't intend to ask. As I recently explained in my column on outing, I don't ask actors under age twenty one about their sexuality because putting that much pressure on someone so young — someone who might very well not have yet dealt with their sexuality — is out-of-bounds for me. That's why I didn't ask Chris when I chatted with him at the TCA, and the only reason I'm writing about it here is because we previously reported he was out due to The Advocate's interview. If Chris is in fact gay, I'm sure he'll let us know when he's ready. And if I talk to him after he turns twenty-one, I'll see if he's willing to talk about it then. Until that time, I hope those folks who have posted some very unpleasant comments on other sites, will zip it and cut the kid some slack. Submitted by on Wed, 2009-11-11 18:03. Check Out the New Clip For "A Single Man."This week the Weinstein Company came under criticism for having de-gayed the first trailer for their upcoming film A Single Man. I've requested a statement from the studio explaining why the trailer was changed, but have yet to hear back. Meanwhile, today the studio released a short clip featuring Colin Firth and Matthew Goode, who play the lovers in the film, chatting about how content they are. So how does it measure up on the gay scale? Take a look! Submitted by on Tue, 2009-11-10 15:30. |
