- Happy birthday to talented, articulate, courageous, and inhumanly hunky out actor Robert Gant, who turns 39 today. Hmm ... when you're a guy who most gay men (and straight women) would kill to have jump out of their birthday cake, who do you have jump out of yours? The bulldog?
- We'd like to think that this was due in part to our relentless coverage (although rave reviews by two dark horse publications called "The New York Times" and "Variety" may have helped): Xanadu on Broadway broke the Helen Hayes Theatre's box-office record.
- The evil-kiddie thriller Joshua, starring Sam Rockwell and the fabulous Vera Farmiga (from The Depaahted and Breaking and Entering), has a gay supporting character, played by Dallas Roberts. But critic Ed Gonzalez thinks the thriller is driven by a hatred of "women, queers, and religion," and feels that Joshua's dandied, pint-sized sociopath is one left best in the celluloid closet.
- Armistead Maupin trash-talks John Travolta and Scientology, calling it the "biggest ex-gay movement in America."
- Freddy Rodriguez (Six Feet Under, Grindhouse) to join Ugly Betty as the new love interest I mentioned in my column. Yay! His character's name is Gio. Ileana Douglas also joins the cast as a new editor at Mode. You may remember the fabulous Douglas from her turns in Ghost World, Six Feet Under, and Cape Fear.
- In honor of Friday the 13th, here's a short film from my favorite attention-deficit, seemingly transgender, part-mannequin former model, Shaye St. John. WARNING: Shaye's mind-bending work is not for everyone and has been known to turn sane men into drooling, empty husks.
- Make sure to check my guest column for some other TV news and a bit about gay cross-country competitive racers (seriously) -- and have the BEST.GAY.WEEKEND.EVER!

UGLY BETTY
You gotta be kidding me! Two of my favorite actors/characters on Six Feet Under are going to be Betty Ugly(one of my favorite show). I can't wait for seasons 2! It should be even better than the first!
BTW I think it is great that most main actors from SFU are going to be on TV this season. They truly deserve jobs.
OMG THE DOG
I totally love the dog. I mean, I love Bobby Gant, he's wonderful. Happy birthday.
THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy B-Day Robert
Robert's dog is cute but Robert is cuter. Happy B-Day Robert!
Michael and Brent predicted Xanadu would be a hit. Congrats to all those involved.
Scientology is really bad. You should hear some of the stuff scientologists have done. I don't think other religions are much better either. Mormons are collecting the DNA and personal information from every person they can get. They even broke into the Holocaust Museum to get information on those that died in the Holocaust. I can go on and on about all religions. Religion is a horrible thing. Go read The God Delusion, Breaking the Spell, The Atheist Universe and god is Not Great.
