- Soundtrack details for gay filmmaker Todd Haynes' sure-to-be-fascinating Bob Dylan biopic, I'm Not There, in which the singer/songwriter is portrayed by everyone from Heath Ledger to Cate Blanchett to one of my cats. Antony and the Johnsons covering "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"?! Sufjan Stevens on "Ring Them Bells"?!?! Somebody catch me...
- The L.A. Times has a nice article on how Neil Patrick Harris is a gay actor playing a straight role and how no one seems to mind in the least. But beware: the piece quotes some wingnut named Michael Jensen, so they're obviously not playing with a full deck!
- SpoilerTV caught wind of yet another gaysploitative detective show episode on its way, yet again within the Law & Order monolith.
- GLAAD has changed the eligibility rules for their media awards to include gay-for-gay media (the awards until now have only been awarded to mainstream media). Gay-targeted outlets will not be granted their own categories, but are invited to compete within existing categories. In other words: Sorry, The Lair. That "Best Gay Vampire Softcore Soap Opera" award isn't yours quite yet.
- I so cannot believe that no one was all over this while I was out at the end of last week, but The Advocate cover boy of the month, Ryan Reynolds, and gay filmmaker John August (whom Reynolds actually plays, in part, in their utterly bizarro new comedy The Nines) did a fascinating Q&A for the mag and also documented their trip together to Africa, where they helped build an orphanage. We already knew that Reynolds was uncommonly gay-friendly and as hot as tarmac, but he builds orphanages, too? *SWOON*

Three O.M.G. Guys- Forget the girl and the pizza place
I hope I'm not the only man in America who watched Two Guys and a Girl because it had not two but three of the cutest, perhaps even hottest, guys on TV- Ryan Reynolds, Richard Ruccollo, and Nathan Fillion- playing slapstick comedy... and doing it very well. You can, though I don't necessarily recommend it, even watch with the sound off and get chuckles because the show was directed and played almost silent movie double takes, pratfalls, and mugging.
I just hope that his choices/options get better and he eventually gives up the Berg/Van Wilder character forever. On the other hand, if he keeps getting naked (or semi-so) as in Van Wilder and Blade III, I can forgive sitting thru a lot of crap.
