Yes dears, you heard it from those deliciously press hungry folks at TMZ.com - Ellen's down for the count, but she's not out.
Such a trooper!!!!
Star Jones would have totally stayed at home...as would have dear Rosie. (No offense girls, but you're not *that* dedicated now are you?)
Oh, to be Ellen - if only for one day!
From those lovely lads and ladettes at LOGO...gotta love 'em!
Rufus Wainwright gives Logo viewers exclusive behind-the-scenes look at making of new music video followed by world broadcast premiere
April 26, 2007 – Logo, a division of Viacom Inc.’s (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) MTV Networks, today announced that it will air Rufus Wainwright: The Making of Going to a Town on April 27, 2007 at 8:00 PM ET/PT, followed immediately by the world broadcast premiere of Rufus Wainwright’s new music video “Going to a Town.” The 30-minute special will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the music video from his upcoming new album “Release the Stars.”
Wainwright will host a new episode of NewNowNext Music on Logo on April 29, 2007 at 12 midnight ET/PT that will re-air his new video. The episode will repeat throughout the week leading up to LOGOonline.com’s audio stream of “Release the Stars” from May 8-15, 2007.
Wainwright is also scheduled to perform as a special guest in several select cities on the True Colors Tour presented by Logo featuring such musical legends as Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, and Debbie Harry, as well as up-and-coming artists like The Dresden Dolls, The Gossip, and The Misshapes.
Laura Dern, when she said she didn't get work for a year after her same-sex kiss on 'Ellen'?
-or-
ABC when it said it couldn't come to a 'View' contract negotiation agreement with Rosie O'Donnell?
I'm thinking Madame Dern is guilty...hello darling, it was your *acting* not your *kissing* that lead to a year of inactivity. Brush up on those skills. (C'mon, surely you've seen 'Jurassic Park' and 'Jurassic Park III: The Legend Continues for No Apparent Reason other than to employ Sam Neil')
Love to all!
And overdosed on celebrities...good god, what a flagrant use of star-power!
I, of course, am referencing the 'American Idol: Idol Gives Back' 'Staying Alive' musical "number" where clips of all the new, now, next, not, old, was, and to be and has been celebrities and celebutants were shown capering about like mad fools in ecstasy in what can only be dubbed a celebrity brand orgy for FOX. (Given the near fatal doses of viewer exposure, these 'stars' might very well have a reason to dance about.)
Yes, moppets, I know it's for charity, the disease stricken, the poor, the homeless, the suffering, the wasted, the gassy...I could go on. It's important work, regardless of the mash-handed, 'Sonny & Cher Variety Hour' approach. Perhaps I'm just terribly bitter I couldn't pull such a coop out of my hat. I'm like that!
Still, I *was* disappointed to see Helen Mirren trot her stuff...I expected to see the likes of Dr. Phil (no link for you!), Teri Hatcher and Rob Schneider, but Helen...oh, that one hurt. Couldn't you have just given money from the comfort of your well-appointed media room?
A small bit of me just died. Why oh why must I watch 'American Idol' ever???
Blah and double-blah. Everything I hate is now holier than holy - I can't win!
That's what TMZ.com is reporting darlings - supposedly the announcement will happen on today's program - if you're inclined to watch any potential drama unfold, do tune in to ABC at 10:00 a.m. ET. At least, I think that's when those hens gather to peck...I really have lost track, being a man and all.
You have been warned! (About Rosie, silly.)
She's probably leaving to dedicate more time to her gay sketch show that's airing on LOGO - 'The Big Gay Sketch Show'...check it out! It previewed last night but you know LOGO - reruns for days, weeks and months! I admit I have a preview copy I never got around to watching...just couldn't get interested in another sketch show, even if it is *gay*.
Toodles for now twatties!
In honor of Mother Earth (total Dyke that she is, god love her), watch the Discovery Channel's 'Planet Earth' tonight - it's *amazing* in high-definition...and tonight is all about caves and forests - Fabulous!
It's probably my favorite nature program ever - my prior favorite was their 'Blue Planet' series from a few years back...intense in *every* imaginable way, you'll learn something fascinating about the world you live in *every* time you watch.
Truly there is no better TV to watch on Earth Day - enjoy!
(And my, but aren't those birds of paradise showy - they're nature's Drag Queens!)
A dear friend of mine just won a big 'Best of' Award - give him props!
But we all know you don't mean it - after all, *who* the hell lives in Portland, Maine? Seriously, if I wanted to bore myself to death I'd read a book, not read some blog about dusty ol' Maine drizzle! *giggle* I kid because I love...go Wil! Whoooo!
Speaking of books and blogging, this blog *isn't* about silly poofs like Wil, it's about silly FAMOUS TV poofs like Ted Allen from 'Queer Eye' fame, who will be appearing at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Saturday, April 28th at 12:30 p.m. at U.C.L.A! Dear Foodie-Booty Ted'll be cooking from his book, "The Food You Want To Eat". And no, his wiener schnitzel will NOT be on th e menu. (Unless you're very, very lucky.) If you simply must have more information, go to www.latimes.com/festivalofbooks
As all gay events should be, this one is free and open to the public and books will be available for sale. More info is available for you peeps with need for books in LA at this instant classic of a website:
What's most amazing of all - no-one paid me to say that - isn't blogging GREAT???!!!
No, I didn't watch 'Shear Genius' last night, though my trusty DVR did capture the offal dutifully as always. I mean, what's the point? It was quite obvious from the get-go that I couldn't pick a good haircut out of a barrel of monkeys with pickles up their bums! So...if I have no basis of what *is* a good haircut and what *isn't*, all I'm left to connect with are the individual personalities, most toxic at best, some down-right demonic in nature. (No running water on the set please - it upsets the vampires!!!)
But I digress...
This post is really supposed to be a treatise on whether or not the Norwegian Magi-Techno-Genius, Dr. Snuggles, was indeed a rampant homosexual when off the cartoon set. If you're an older biddy like me (ripe old age of 36 next week, muffins!) you might remember Dr. Snuggles and his wonderfully whimsical adventures with Dennis the badger (i think), an avian postal-worker, and a small mouse named Knabber. (1979!) Now that I think about it, it's really an earlier version of 'Magic Schoolbus' on PBS, but without the discipline or children. (Sounds much nicer, right?) Dr. Snuggles could invent anything with his quasi-magical inventing powers and his animate object friends (including a house, a spaceship, an umbrella and assorted other gizmos). The 'comeback pilot' has not lessened the gayness one wee-bit. Swisharama! I will say I thought the addition of a Dr. Snuggles nemesis unnecessary - it took the show to the level of 'Strawberry Shortcake and Friends' or 'The Care Bears.' ew! (Sour Grapes!)
There's a rather Paul Lynde-like spotted camel in the clouds drinking tee while his ribbon-adorned s
heep frolic amongst the fluffy white towers of cloudy-goodness. There's 'Uncle Bill,' Dr. Snuggles aquatic 'uncle' who frankly, looks younger than Dr. Snuggles himself! (Just how much does Uncle Bill like fish anyway?) But company aside, Dr. Snuggles has a rather swishy manner of speaking, and with his English (?) drawl, he seems a bit like Mr. Howell from 'Gilligan's Island' who I always thought was gay anyway...Mrs. Howell was a drag queen, I'm *sure* of it! (In all actuality, Natalie Schafer, who played Mrs. Howell was wonderful...she's dead now, of course. O cruel world!!!!)
But again I digress!
Dr. Snuggles certainly seems quite gay - but that could just be due to the simple fact it was produced in the Netherlands - like the Teletubbies' - and therefore intrinsically bizarre with no inherent sexuality whatsoever. Sex neutral, like a sandwich! But um...could it be that the voice of Dr. Snuggles is Peter Ustonov???? Crikey!!!!!
But where's the fun in that? I like to think in a secret pocket universe, Dr. Snuggles is getting it on with Uncle Bob in his Lobsterscape off the coast of Maui...the world would be a better world were that the case, I'm sure of it!
You know, it might just not be the most pointless and pathetic reality show after all...
I've been thinking: If America can take *one* key lesson away from 'Shear Design', perhaps there *is* hope after all.
Here's my thought on the lesson provided by Bravo's latest reality flop: *extremely* effeminate straight men really *do* exist!
Case in point, Dr. Boogie. A self-described straight man - who simply appears and acts incredibly, incredibly, INCREDIBLY gay. We're talking RuPaul levels of gayness here...can it and ship it to West 
Hollywood, it's that gay. If this Major Mary is *actually straight* - a huge stretch, true; but stranger things have happened in our livetime - this proves that not all *highly* effeminate men are really gay. A revelation! Paul Lynde? Perhaps not gay after all...Liberace? Straight as an arrow!!!! You? (Forget it honey, not in that shirt.)
I'm curious what Phyllis Schafly, dear Dr. Laura and Pat Buchanan (is he still alive?) think of dear, Dr. Boogie...
Of course we'll have to prove Dr. Boogie's straight (who would believe us?) by filming him in straight porn - just to make sure he enjoys it and is not lying about his proclivities. While I'd rather pluck out my eyes and sew them into my own testicles than watch this lurid offering, I'm sure there's a market out there somewhere for dear Dr. Boogie. (I've seen stranger flicks in my time I assure you...)
