June 8, 2009

While the East Coast already knows the winners, we’re going to live blog the Tony Awards anyway, because damn it, somebody has to watch these awards. Feel free to crib our witty asides to pretend like you did. Now, without further ado, here’s the Gayest Awards Show of Them All.

5 Musical Adaptations That Never Should Have Been

June 7, 2009

Hey, hey it’s Tony time! Every year, CBS gamely tries to lure America’s barbarian hordes to tune in with dazzlingly celebrities (Allison Janey!) and clever marketing gimmicks ( Did you know Ugly Betty‘s mini-’mo Mark Indelicato is twittering the awards? It’s true!) and every year the show turns into the Jerry Lewis telethon of theatre. [...]

Is HRC Doomed?

June 7, 2009

Evil Nazi leader Ernst Rohm famously once said that “All revolutions devour their own children” and so it seems is the fate of the Human Rights Campaign, which for many (read: straight politicians) is the de-facto go-to gay political power in D.C.

May 29, 2008

Now, I love me some Kanye. He’s the guy who made it okay for suburbanites with overachiever complexes to own hip-hop, after all. But dude, it seems like you can’t buy an album these days without finding Kanye guesting a track. Being the self-proclaimed king of hip-hop, isn’t enough, he’s got to absorb the careers [...]

Weezer Gives Chris Crocker an Extra 15 Seconds of Fame

May 28, 2008

Which should be enough for me to dismiss them forever, but c’mon! It’s Weezer. It’s the You Tube-eriffic “Pork & Beans”, the first single from the Red album, out June 3rd. I hope Rivers deloused after giving Crocker a hug. That kid doesn’t need a hug. He needs a nice long stay in a sanitarium. [...]

New Flaming Politics

May 28, 2008

Check out the latest installment of Flaming Politics at After Elton. This week on Flaming Politics, I put Hillary-talk to rest (at least in my own mind) as I conduct a post-mortem on what worked and what didn’t work in her campaign, no character assassination needed. Also, gay victims of the Nazi Holocaust are honored, [...]
