Project snooze

You can't miss Jeffrey Sebelia as he scoots through the upstairs level of the GM Design Center. His neck is inked, and he stills wears shades indoors. The scrawny fashionista – whose cocky persona helped him sweep the third season of "Project [...]

Best beats of '08

Call it the Year of the Diva, or the Year I Became Just That Much Gayer. But how could you not feel overcome by big-female artist albums? Madonna, Mariah, Kylie, Celine, Cyndi – the list goes on, and so did that ear-to-ear smile on my face. For most [...]

Best-of Film 2007

Nothing like knocked-up chicks, a real-life princess, a drag queen and a foodie rat to get someone through 2007. Those zestful personas were the meat and potatoes of a pretty tasty box-office year. Even though some dumb disappointments scored big [...]

P.S.': See This Movie

Nothing can cure a recently-widowed woman better than a trip to a gay club. Or so that's what Holly Kennedy's (Hilary Swank) girlfriends decide in rom-com "P.S. I Love You" after a letter, the first in a string of many, arrives from her dead Irish [...]

Mr. (Naked) Clean

Soon, Kevin Stea's crotch could have its own end credit. Maybe demand more money. Heck, it might even go on strike. "It could get its own head-shots," Stea quips from his Los Angeles digs, jokingly adding that fan sites are already popping up, like [...]

Still hunting for a gay gift? Try Celine, Mariah or Melissa. Live.

Divine Intervention

"Oh, God!": It's about to mean something different. Consider going deeper than those trite inquiries – stats? penis size? top or bottom? – by exploring the spiritual side (and not the middle-front one!) with those inquisitive about "the man above," [...]

Bear Necessities

No rising ukulele-playing comedian can say he's collected cracker wrappers, Nutter Butter cookies and a Red Cross tote bag in a tip jar. Except Ben Lerman. He gathered these after soliciting for money in a goodwill-sorta canister, which he passed [...]

Doublemint lesbians do Detroit hall

Something's to be said of identical DNA. Twin lesbians Tegan and Sara Quin's back-and-forth banter – paired with some electrifying musical moments – devoured the attention of a sexually-diverse plethora on Nov. 28 at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit. [...]

Folkies offer fresh batches of tunes, while Patti LaBelle adds little life to standards

No one said it'd be easy, but give Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" a quick break. And imagine a country Christmas with folkie Mindy Smith's beautifully lit-up "My Holiday." Or pretend cutie-patootie Josh Groban is unleashing his [...]

Hellacious 'Hairspray' hits DVD

MOVIE With 2007 coming to an end quicker than an Edna Turnblad diet, this highly-caffeinated romp remains the best film of the year so far (see if that changes in our Best-Of Entertainment in our Year in Review issue, out Jan. 3). You know the [...]

Queer quin-tessentials

Something sealed the lesbian-dating deal for Tegan Quin: It was her identical twin, Sara. Save for music, the alt-rock duo – known for their quirky arrangements, ear-appealing melodies and crushes on chicks – hardly share a list of commonalities the [...]
