You Don't Mess With the Zohan
And today's Briefs are brought to you by... Submitted by on Mon, 2008-04-07 17:11. My evening with Kathy Griffin (and 3499 other people)
Kathy Griffin and me a porn star at the gay porn awards On Saturday night Andy took me to see Kathy Griffin at the Madison Square Garden WaMu Theater (the WaMu part was new to me ... but then the manhole covers in this city will probably have corporate sponsors before Bloomberg's done with it). As we approached the theater, the transient Midtown crowd started more and more to resemble what Noah's Ark might have looked like had he opted not to repopulate the world with animals but instead to preserve paired examples of the many species of gay men who live in New York City. "Look, it's a pair of Prada-footed Guppies!" "Hey, a Muscle Mary ... and his matched mate! They do tend to travel together ..." And of course whatever Andy and I would qualify as, other than old, boring, and probably not nearly fabulous enough for a classy event like this. Would they make us sit in the back? What if I went to the gift stand to buy a "MAIN GAY" t-shirt and they told me I wasn't fun or pretty enough? The night was only beginning and already I was shame-spiraling into disaster. You can take the boy out of the Catholic Church, step-ball-chain, step-ball-chain, repeat... Fortunately, the minute that Kathy's show started, I forgot about all that (and almost forgot about the private atmosphere of suffocating perfume that hovered over our section, courtesy of the 300 or so women drinking red wine out of plastic cups all around us). Clips of Anderson Cooper calling Kathy "Bitch!" from The Celebrity Mole?! Clips of Kathy on Seinfeld? Clips of Kathy having her face beaten in with a hammer by her pregnant lesbian lover from the white-hot B horror movie The Unborn?!?! Okay, this is where I belong after all. Kathy's act was what you'd expect: polished, wonderfully serpentine, and selectively ruthless. In the show that we saw (which she presaged with the promise that it was ALL NEW), Kathy's main targets were Oprah, Britney, Barbara Walters, the Christians ... ... and Marie Osmond.

Lance Bass appeared on The View this morning to promote his new book Out of Sync, and came across as a very balanced, well-spoken, and pleasant young gay fella. The chat also gave Whoopi the opportunity to weigh in on the whole "God isn't cool with the gays" argument (she thinks He or She is just fine with them), which was then echoed by Sherri Shepherd, who noted, "Jesus loves you, baby" at the end of the interview. Now, given the whole "flat Earth" situation that went down not too long ago, I'd imagine Sherri would probably agree with Whoopi if she told her that the Pope was a Belgian waffle ... but it still seemed a genuine gesture. The whole clip's after the jump -- enjoy! Submitted by on Tue, 2007-10-23 14:21. Gay TV Recap: Mario Cantone's Emmy fit on The View
Mario Cantone came onto The View to share his thoughts on The Emmy Awards and of course proceeded to do what he does best: overreact, scream and offend (and I mean that as a compliment, seriously). After ribbing the ladies for not giving him a full-time gig ("Thanks for the job, bitches!!"), Cantone launched into a litany of nit-picks about the broadcast, including the following:

Cheyenne Jackson Xanadoes the View In case you missed out actor Cheyenne Jackson and in all his beefy, cutoffed glory on The View recently (where he and Kerry Butler performed "Suddenly" from the stage smash Xanadu), the video is right here. One look and your wheels will be in motion, too. Submitted by on Fri, 2007-09-14 12:28. Tim Gunn visits The View, scares the captioner and vindicates Whoopi
In case you missed Tim Gunn's appearance on The View this morning, it was pretty much what you would expect — and by that, I mean Gunn was his usual fabulous self. In presenting his essential pieces for a woman's wardrobe, he praised the fashion sense of hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "I have to say, Elisabeth, you and Whoopi epitomize the core of the book (Gunn's A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style). You own your look. You look very different, yet you look confident and fantastic because you know who you are." Gunn heaped more praise on Whoopi, telling her, "You are so fabulously dressed always. You understand your body. You understand the semiology of dressing and the message of your look." The closed captioning for that moment cut that down to "... You understand dressing" because phrases like "the semiology of dressing" can only roll off the tongue of someone like Gunn — that's one of the many reasons we adore him — and whoever writes the captions wasn't adequately warned, apparently. After the segment, Barbara Walters commented to Whoopi, "You were on Mister Blackwell's worst dressed list. Now, you're a fashion icon!" Oh, Barbara, are you trying to start a battle of the fashion pundits? Just be glad Tim had the restraint not to comment about The View's new set. Submitted by on Wed, 2007-09-05 16:27.
