Lorna Luft and Liza Minelli will perform together for the first time since the 1993 Tony Awards October 14 & 21 in a fundraiser for breast cancer. You can’t help but think Judy is looking down smiling.

Tokyo has won the bid to host the 2020 Olympics, beating out Madrid and Instanbul for the honor. I’m fine with Tokyo hosting (although I was rooting for Madrid). While they don’t have great gay rights at this point, they don’t seem poised to drag us down into human rights abuses like Russia has.

In what some find to be a shocking overreach, D.C. is considering regulations that would require a 24-hour waiting period in order to get a tattoo. Admittedly, if there had been a waiting period I probably wouldn’t have my three tats, but it does seem a little bit much to have to wait longer to get a tattoo...

Glee’s days are numbered, the new Doctor to be revealed Sunday, Neil Patrick Harris lusts after Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Harvey Fierstein sat down with Michelangelo Signorile to continue his war on the Russian gay propaganda law, and he doesn’t hold back. “It seemed to me a really good time for us as a community to say, ‘You know what boys? Time to stop fucking with us,’ he said, also backing the boycott of Stolichnaya Vodka that has taken off worldwide. ‘It’s time for them to stop to making money. Time for churches to stop raising money by demonizing us. Time for politicians to stop making money by demonizing us. It’s time to make the gay community too dangerous to do that too. Russia happens to be a great place to do it because Putin — I call him ‘Rat Putin’ — is such a villain. I think there’s...

Zac Efron frats out again, Spider-Man plays basketball with kids, Greg Louganis dives with Matthew Mitcham

James Franco thinks that sex isn’t just for titillation in movies. “Directors are trying to use more sex in films and certainly on places like HBO, where these cable people have lots of sex. Gus Van Sant told me in his pilot [Boss for Starz] he had a sex scene but they told him, There’s not enough nudity. We need ‘pay-cable moments.’ They’re actually pushing for more sexual content. And if they’re done the right way, it won’t just be a ‘pay-cable moment,’ it will actually be intrinsic to the story. Sex has the potential for being a great storytelling device. But it just hasn’t been used up until now.”

Nasa is giving a grant for a 3D Pizza Printer. The idea makes sense, since you’re essentially giving dry tubes...

Frank Ocean says that he forgives Chris Brown for their fight, and won't be pressing charges, ending my hopes of getting that monster off the street and out of the news.

Texas Governor Rick Perry took the opportunity of the Texas Scouts 64th Report to the State, where he addressed hundred of scouts, to call for the Boy Scouts to keep their discriminatory policies towards gay scouts. He then told the Associated Press that "I think you get tolerance and diversity every day in Scouting."

Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin will be broadcast in a special expanded version on PBS February 3 as part of Black History Month. Rustin, of course, was the right hand man of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a gay man.

Asshat cornerback Chris Culliver will be heading from the Super Bowl to The Trevor Project, where he will undergo sensitivity training...

George Clooney is a bit of joker, so I'm just going to assume what he told Italy's Max was his version of humor. “I never fixed my eyes, but I spent more money to stretch the skin of my testicles. I did not like the wrinkles. It’s a new technique, many people in Hollywood have done it. It’s called ball ironing.” It's actually called a scrotal lift, and is a real thing.

Chuck Hagel has written an apology to Democrats for, well, every position he's ever taken, from gays to Israel. On the plus side, he promises to do everything within his power to get same-sex military spouses equal benefits.

I'm sure that this technique for splicing genes is interesting, but I can't get past the fact that the illustration looks like a penis car.

Congratulations to Sir Elton John and David Furnish, who welcomed their second son,...

Artist Joel Watson created this awesome Star Wars and Firefly mashup art called "Rival Smugglers" featuring a face-off between Han Solo and Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds. How amazing would it be to see some kind of story featuring these two characters working with or even against each other? I know this is a hard question, but out of these two characters who's your favorite?

For those of you who would like to own this piece of art on a t-shirt click here!

Bradley Cooper says that while he's been sober for seven years now, there was a time when a lack of confidence drove him to drugs and alcohol. “I was so concerned what you thought of me, how I was coming across, how I would survive the day. I always felt like an outsider. I just lived in my head.”

Is JetBlue courting the Brony market? And just what is "clop?" Hint: You probably don't want to know.

In the interest of fairness, the fact checkers have some issues with some of the statements the Democrats made at their convention.

New details continue to emerge about the Husbands comic book. First, it's a digital edition, though there will be a bound collection in the spring. And it takes place in a different universe, where superpowers exist, which begs the question of what kind of superpower someone like Cheeks would have. And yes,...

A lot of celebrities had words to say about the passing of Donna Summer, but leave it to Sir Elton John to squeeze in a dig at (presumably) Madonna in his. "I'm so sad. This woman was the queen of disco and so much more. Her records sound as good today as they ever did. That she has never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace, especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted. She is a great friend to me and to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and I will miss her greatly."

It's common wisdom that Gene Roddenberry pushed to have actors of color like Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek to create his perfect future world, but was it actually NBC recruiting people of color like Nichols and George Takei to help launch their switch to color television?...
