What to Watch: Project Runway
We already know J. Lo bailed on season five's finale of "Project Runway," which aired last night and wraps at 9 p.m. Oct 15 on Bravo. But what don't we know? We went to Chris Webb, the out GM exterior-color and trend designer, who was there [...]
Celine vs. Mary
Janet Jackson might've bailed on us when she rescheduled her Saturday gig for Oct. 28, but that semi-sexy (and really, really uncomfortable) feeling we've come to expect from her soft-core musical porn was satisfied by … Robin Thicke? The [...]
Making Waves
Kevin Thornton makes a mad dash across Mack Avenue, through some drizzle, to a pub across the street from the dinky hole-in-the-wall bar he and his band will jam at. Save for what he dug up in the band's cooler – some snacks and sandwiches – he's a [...]
Gay-fave series come out ... on DVD
After years of watching us draw more attention than Britney Spears, networks – kudos GLAAD-approved ABC! – are finally catching on: Yep, queers like TV, too. And so this month, just as the fall season begins, ABC rolled out its uber-gay shows on [...]
Princesses of (Pop) Power
Lesbians lust over them – and to that, they say, "Bring 'em on" – and gay guys lust while listening to them, but we all win in the world of Pussycat Dolls. And "world" isn't an understatement: They're taking it over – with the help of their queers – [...]
Little Britain USA
"Too much!" is what my grandma's reaction would be to racy, almost-equal-opportunity-offender "Little Britain USA." And perhaps watching two willy-exposed dudes discuss their straight sexual escapades in a men's locker room (and then re-enacting [...]
South Beach goes gay
Who needs a Malawian baby? Just grab a gay. "It's what's hot," said South Beach operator Omar Mitchell before the opening of a queer night – which happen every Sunday – at the new upscale nightclub at 3011 W. Grand Blvd. in the Detroit Fisher [...]
BTL chats with Amy Ray
Sure, she's currently touring with Indigo Girls' other half, Emily Saliers. But Amy Ray spent much of the past year working on and promoting her third solo album, "Didn't It Feel Kinder." Released in August, the North Georgia-based performer's [...]
Celine, Mary, Janet - oh my!
We can't always have our way. Or maybe – with the perfecto planning of Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige and Janet Jackson – we can. All three queer-loved divas will make Michigan pit-stops on separate days next weekend, and, if the economy wasn't as [...]
Mostly a Jem
Jem, "Down to Earth" Jem's sophomore disc is a reflective genre-skipper that does two things remarkably well: establishes the Welsh-born singer as more than an airy-voiced Dido clone while also boasting multiple personalities. The latter – not such [...]
What it Feels Like for' ... Madonna's brother
"I don't hate my sister," Christopher Ciccone – commonly, as he says, introduced as Madonna's brother – so candidly tells us, as if his tell-almost-all memoir would lead us to believe otherwise. And it probably has. Word was, prior to dropping in [...]
Life after death
When Claire Fisher drove into her family's future during the series finale of "Six Feet Under," fans of the five-season-running HBO drama likely wept much like they had lost someone in their own life. Alan Ball did – and then he quickly moved [...]
