Hear Me Out: Season two 'Idol' releases typical debut
Kimberly Caldwell, 'Without Regret' Kimberly Caldwell was never crowned "American Idol," but her debut sounds like she was – meaning, it's as going-through-the-motions mediocre as those who walked away with the title. The season two contestant can [...]
Labor of love
Chris Bathgate took just over two years – and lots of coffee-fueled nights – to create "Salt Year," the Michigan singer-songwriter's fourth full-length album. It was one of the most intense, and expensive, periods of his life, which didn't seem [...]
Million Dollar' Man
These are hard times for real estate agents, so starring in a reality show doesn't hurt. Josh Flagg was one of three sellers on season four of Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing," which wrapped at the end of March – just as he came out and released a [...]
Rocking it out
"I'm so many more things than just a homo," says Gavin Creel – an accomplished actor, recording artist, activist, sci-fi dork, and yeah, even a looker. He played Claude in "Hair" on Broadway and nabbed a Tony nod for his role in "Thoroughly Modern [...]

DVD Lowdown: 'Burlesque' and 'Love & Other Drugs'
'Burlesque': Turn back time. Please. Christina Aguilera is a gay icon. Cher is a gayer icon. Without knowing anything else about "Burlesque" (and really, what else is there to know?), the beyond-campy bore would've been the gayest movie of 2010. [...]
Hear Me Out: R.E.M. and Avril Lavigne
R.E.M., 'Collapse Into Now' R.E.M.'s first album since 2008's "Accelerate," a return to form for the misstepping rock icons, is as obvious as lead singer Michael Stipe's coming out – and that's fine. After adventurous detours into hard rock and [...]
Morgan Fairchild: Her Gay Love Story
It's no stretch really that Morgan Fairchild's latest role in the queer-themed "eCupid" has her trying to connect two gay men. She's been connecting with gay people her whole life, even before the bombshell-with-brains went lesbian for Sandra [...]
Oh Land is Our Land
Nanna Oland Fabricius is in her own world again. That's where the Danish artist – who goes by Oh Land, a play on her middle name – imagines a mystical, anything-goes life for herself. And it's from that place that she wrote her self-titled American [...]
