Feeling the holiday spirit yet?

Jose here. It’s Christmas Eve in the Crawford household, and Joan (Joey Arias), and her children Christina (Chris March of Project Runway) and Christopher (Adam Davidson) are getting ready to receive a very special guest: Miss Hedda Hopper (Sherry Vine) who will broadcast a holiday special live from their home. As the perfectionist actress stresses to her children how important it is that they make a good impression - no wire hangers to be seen anywhere! - it becomes obvious that the holidays here are a truly special occasion, as many famous guests show up throughout the night (most of them mistakenly ringing the Crawford bell on their way to a party at Gary Cooper’s house).

Last seen in New York, twelve years ago, Christmas With the Crawfords is a hilarious parody that will certainly appeal to actressexuals who don’t mind their favorite divas being ridiculed.

Birthday shoutouts go to Taylor Kitsch (above), who is 33, Raven is 35, and Julian Lennon is 51. Here’s one of the most 80′s videos ever made.

Kuwait to begin clinical screenings to detect gay ex-pats, Sherry Vine wants you to “Twerk Bitch,” Joan Collins knows gays love her because she’s glamorous

In an interview, Britney Spears was asked if she had any gay people in her life that influenced her work, and responded with “A lot of my hair stylists and my beauty team that I work with are gay so I hang out with gays a lot and I just think they’re adorable and hilarious.” A lot of the gay blogs are saying that’s a bit dismissive, while Slate, ever the contrarian thinks they’re just looking for a fight over a throwaway answer.

Gary Hall, Dean of the National Cathedral speaks the truth about homophobia. “We must now have the courage to take the final step and call homophobia and heterosexism what they are. They are sin. Homophobia is a sin.

In case you missed it, Lady Gaga released a Nsfw video last week featuring everyone's new favorite woman of the moment, performance artist Marina Abramovic.

In classic drag queen fashion, Sherry Vine, of She's Living For This, released a parody of the video poking fun at Mother Monster's antics while running around naked upstate.

What do you think of Gaga's promotion choices leading up to the VMAs?

Beloved drag performer Sherry Vine dropped in on "Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell" on Thursday, appearing as "The Spirit Of Stonewall". Addressing the historical importance of the Stonewall riots -- which were name-checked by Obama in his inaugural address -- Vine explained that it was the first time "the entire gay alphabet stood up against the police and reminded them that we are Americans, too."

Vine went on to reveal the philosophy of her particular civil rights movement: a brick. Watch the clip above, and for more from this episode visit the "Totally Biased" YouTube page.

Drag queens and bathrooms are central to many queer New Yorkers' nightlife experiences, so for Gay Pride month and Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, it almost made too much sense to pose some of our favorite drag queens in some of the city's quirkiest bathrooms. Almost, but not quite.

So please enjoy these shots of Sharon Needles, Jiggly Caliente, Paige Turner, Linda Simpson, Sherry Vine and Peppermint in repose on the can. Plus: Find out where you can see these queens during Gay Pride season, hear their craziest bathroom tales (watching Debbie Harry pee in the hall!), and check out their advice for that other Queen as she enters the next phase of her reign (hint: less hats, more glamour).

Margaret Cho said Wednesday on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated on ABC) that she loves sexting. So much so that she's hesitant to judge Anthony Weiner for his recent scandal. She's even featured on a song called 'Sexting' by drag performer Sherry Vine (it's an unreleased song fans can get with a charity promotion for her music album 'Cho Dependant' that ends Friday).

But it is a dangerous practice, at least for the easily embarrassed ... and those prone to typing in the wrong phone number. "If you're going to be sexting, check the number," warned Cho. "I was sexting with this guy I was doing it with, and I was like..." Well, 'The View' bleeped the next part. If you can read lips, you might catch it.

The mortifying part was the phone call Cho then received from her mother, to whom she had inadvertently sent the message.

“Hair today, gone tomorrow…” Yes, dears. That was last night’s story for one of the most controversial, beloved, discussed and debated divas of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 3. One moment, your wig is flying high and tight, and then next it’s on the stage floor and you’re heading to the work room to pack up your hot rollers.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It was very “Hair Wars” up in here this week, as the wig-based challenges awaiting our Top 5 queens were a tangled mess. First, it was very much an “Enchantment Under the Sea” prom-theme meets Wigstock as the gals had to create haute headgear out of stuff you’d find washed up on a gay beach. (Strangely, no syringes!)

Later RuPaul, the queen of big wiggery, assigned them all the task using hairstyles as the basis for three runway looks. And they...
