Queerview television guide for the weekend of June 15

Friday

The Henry Rollins Show (Independent Film Channel) 11:00 PM EDT
Influential (and out) rocker Bob Mould (who pioneered the hardcore scene with Husker Du and followed up with the popular rock band Sugar, aside from his excellent solo work) performs this week. Hey did you know that Mould was a scriptwriter for a professional wrestling group? Thanks, Wikipedia!

The Daytime Emmy Awards (CBS) 9:00 PM EDT
Neil Patrick Harris is one of the presenters. Among the nominees, Ellen Degeneres, Tyra Banks and The View battle over the Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host trophies. As the World Turns' Van Hansis is also nominated for Outstanding Younger Actor. Go Van! (BJ: Anyone else find it ironic that the Daytime Emmys are aired at night?)

Touch of Pink (Logo) 9:00 PM EDT
If your mood leans more towards watching a movie than an awards show, Touch of Pink is a fun romantic comedy for a Friday night. Jimi Mistry plays a gay Muslim man who has imaginary conversations with Cary Grant (Kyle MacLachlan)... it's like a Play It Again, Sam for the new century.

Saturday

50 Funniest Women (Oxygen) 10:00 PM EDT
Kelly Ripa hosts this countdown of funny women with clips of their best work including Ellen Degeneres, Kathy Griffin, Mo'Nique, Lisa Kudrow, Whoopi Goldberg and Megan Mullally.

The Graham Norton Show (BBC America) 10:00 PM EDT
I'm not sure what's different, but I'm enjoying this new show much, much more than any of Norton's previous shows. Joan Rivers and Julian McMahon are guests. As Norton notes in the previews, one of them is in a show about plastic surgery and the other has had plastic surgery.

Sunday

Black Men: The Truth (BET) 12:00 PM EDT
This Fathers' Day special examines stereotypes about Black Men including discussions of the issues facing Black Men today, issues that include homosexuality. Chris Rock and Barack Obama are among those commenting.

Psycho Beach Party (Logo) 4:00 PM EDT
Hey, I was just talking about this movie! This parody of 50's beach films is based on the Charles Busch play. Silliness abounds in this movie which features a serial killer, a big dance number, half-naked surfers and electroshock therapy.

Entourage (HBO) 10:00 PM EDT
The popular comedy returns with Rex Lee as gay, long-suffering assistant Lloyd.
