Tim Gunn, Michael Urie, Family Guy, and more

Where does the time go? I've been trying to get to the blog for the past two days as I've got a whole slew of items to mention, but never seem to quite make it! So hold on tight to your Flying Monkeys because I'm gonna be flinging 'em at you fast and furious!

This New York Times article oddly dances around Tim Gunn's sexuality while this New York Times article about Broadway director Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde) doesn't. Meanwhile, this Gay.com interview with Ugly Betty's Michael Urie doesn't even broach the topic.

David Metzler and David Collins, the executive producers who blessed us with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, are hoping lightning strikes twice with their new show Life as a Song. The gimmick? Significant events in participants lives--the birth of a child, getting married--will be reenacted as a musical. I'm most looking forward to seeing Karl Rove in Wicked:White House and Don Imus, Tim Hardaway, and Mel Gibson in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

This summer CBS is inflicting on us bringing back Big Brother. As if that isn't enough, Mark Burnett has a new show called Pirate Master. In this reality show, sixteen "pirates" work together to decipher a pirate map in order to locate a treasure. Naturally, every week one of the pirates is forced to--wait for it, wait for it--walk the plank! The prize is one million dollars which is exactly what I'll offer CBS to not include any gay contestants thereby forcing me to have to watch it!

A reader in Walter Scott's Personality Parade asks about Jodie Foster's sexuality and Scott answers frankly. It's hard not to wonder if Out Magazine's recent cover with Foster on the cover isn't encouraging the mainstream media to be more frank.

Paul Rudd on Veronica Mars? I am so there.

Here is a YouTube clip about a recent Family Guy episode about prostate exams. Straight guys can be such weenies.

Gay, Straight, or Otter? Nonsensical, but cute.

David Hyde Pierce says he and John Mahoney may reunite in a staged version of Frasier. Hey, if it can be done for Legally Blonde why the hell not?

Out In Hollywood's Greg Hernandez talks with the gay gliterrati about the politics of outing. Martina Navratilova, John Amaeche, Chad Allen, and Robert Gant are so not down with it.
