The View Ladies Aren’t Gay Either

Monday, July 24th, 2006

The Daily News notes how Rosie O’Donnell’s impending arrival is sending the rest of the View ladies into a tizzy of lesbianism.
“Barbara is straight, okay? I can vouch for that,” Joy Behar bantered the other day.
“How about you, honey?” asked guest co-host Tanika Ray of “Extra.”
“Honey, no, don’t even,” Behar answered. “I’m looking forward […]

House of Mouse is Way Harsh

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Nina Jacobson, the only openly gay movie studio exec that we know of, got canned yesterday after 8 years as president of the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group. The news is a bit shocking considering Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean sequel is such a monster hit, and the choicest detail of her firing wasn’t lost […]

Dateline: Hot Sex Forthcoming

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

We love frivilous press announcements. Like this one from the channel, F/X about their plastic surgery drama Nip/Tuck: The regular lesbian character is due to have her very first sex scene next season. Filming will commence on July 21. Alert the media!

Rosie Sees How Good It Is

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

We’ve been enjoying the bitch-slapping contest over at the morning show The View as erstwhile host Star Jones Reynolds got booted for attempting to double-cross Barbara Walters. But lest we forget Rosie O’Donnell, who sort of set this whole mess in motion when she agreed to join the View cast, while simultaneously bashing Reynolds in […]

Sir Ian McKellen Unplugged

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

We’ve been really enjoying the good gay knight as he embarks on press tours for both The Da Vinci Code and X-Men 3, putting all his American costars to shame with his pithy pronouncements. In regards to the controversy over The Da Vinci Code, he told a crowd at Cannes that he thought the Catholic […]

Dave Letterman Gets a Little Testy

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

We’re still not sure why Mary Cheney got a tougher interview with David Letterman than she did with Diane Sawyer. Dave asks of the gay marriage debate: “Maybe, I’m wondering if people would rather you had talked about it during the campaign as opposed to after the campaigns waiting to put it in a book. […]

Inside Out Festival in Toronto

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

We wouldn’t have paid that much attention to this LGBT film festival since it’s in Toronto, and we’re, you know, not. But one of the screenings caught our eye. In an homage to the themes of Brokeback Mountain, the programmers offer this night of shorts for the ladies, entitled Beaver Valley. [Ed.: Yea, though I […]
