Lady Gaga with Semi Precious Weapons 8 p.m. Sept. 4 The Palace of Auburn Hills 6 Championship Drive Sold out Semi Precious Weapons miss when sex – the dirty come-ons, reckless rebellion and, of course, groin grabbing – was as important to rock [...]
Hear Me Out: Margaret Cho sings ... and it doesn't suck! Plus: Lady Gaga's no-good latest
Margaret Cho, 'Cho Dependent' Don't worry about missing Margaret Cho's dirty mind on her music debut. Her first CD rolls in all the bits of the brassy, queer-revered comedian: Asian imitations, foul anecdotes and sex jokes. But now her mouth's [...]
Keepin' It Real (Dirty)
Suzanne Westenhoefer 8 p.m. Aug. 22 The Ark, Ann Arbor 316 S. Main St. $26 http://www.theark.org Suzanne Westenhoefer won't do a dog (or cat, or horse), but the comedian's still as tasteless as they come. So crass, in fact, that her current tour, [...]
Eat Gay Love
Glee is all Ryan Murphy must be feeling these days. Already on fire from his gay-worshipped TV megahit, the 44-year-old director's second feature, "Eat Pray Love," adapted from the wildly popular memoir and out Aug. 13, is soul-searching summer [...]
Julia Roberts: Somebody to 'Love'
Julia Roberts could never be a carb-conscious gay man. While filming "Eat Pray Love," she ate starch like she was making a fashion statement. Take after take of pizza-shoveling and pasta-sucking left the lovable A-list actress almost 10 pounds [...]
Dancing Queen
Of all the dance queens claiming the fame, Robyn's our best queer-kept secret. But the Swedish stunner wasn't always this exclusive – in the '90s, the world did exactly what her teen-pop megahit "Show Me Love" told it to. Ever since, the [...]
Jason Mraz: He's Ours
Jason Mraz 7 p.m. Sept. 16 EMU Convocation Center 799 N. Hewitt Road, Ypsilanti $22-$42 http://www.emutix.com Jason Mraz is all love, because even when the wordplay-toying troubadour isn't singing about it, he's spreading it. To everyone. Since the [...]
Hear Me Out: M.I.A.'s latest misses the mark. Plus: Sheryl Crow's soulful 'Memphis'
M.I.A., 'MAYA' M.I.A. knows what it's like to be different. Three albums in and the native Sri Lanka digi-punk provocateur's as trippy and surging as she was when 2008's "Paper Planes" shot her into superstardom – literally. That smash was fresh, [...]
Angelina Jolie Mans Up
Angelina Jolie's just one of the boys. Not only by being a butt-kicking bombshell in "Wanted" or the "Tomb Raider" series, but truly transforming into a man for her role in "Salt," an is-she-isn't-she? espionage action-thriller that casts one of [...]
Hear Me Out: Lots to love on Kylie Minogue's 'Aphrodite.' Plus: '30 Rock' actress makes (hilarious!) cabaret debut
Kylie Minogue, 'Aphrodite' As if gay men haven't already crowned Kylie Minogue the queen of dreamy dance-pop, her 11th studio album names itself after the almighty Aphrodite. That the Greek goddess is known for her sexual energy seems appropriate; [...]
Mo-dern Family
Julianne Moore breezes into the room – a cozy, sun-lit suite at a Four Seasons in Los Angeles – with a perky bounce, appearing far shinier than the ordinary-looking lesbian mom she plays in "The Kids Are All Right." Her wide smile's luminosity [...]
Sarah McLachlan's Re-'Surfacing'
"Loving You is Easy" isn't just Sarah McLachlan's long-awaited single from her first all-original studio album in seven years. It's also what many of the fans she's courted – and soothed and depressed – in her couple-decade career would say about [...]
