Alas! The end of August is upon us! But really, that's okay - now we can layer! (Huzzah!)
What's on The Telly Nelly Tonight?
8:00 p.m. ET - MTV
Oh lordy lou - out come the slutty and often bizarre music stars! (Did Boy George get an invite? Has he finished cleaning up China Town?) Madonna is nominated in numerous categories for "Hung Up" and I'm sure there are some gay musicians in the mix too. Rumor has it Ne-Yo could be coming out in a magazine next month...what do you think? Our first big gay hip-hop star? (No, Elton John does *NOT* count. Yet.) It's rather RATHER unlikely however as Ne-Yo's peeps say it's not happening people! He just happens to look really gay and slutty all the time, that's all. No big whoop. But back to TV stuff - the MTV Music Awards are always shocking in some fashion and since Justin Timberlake is performing "Sexy Back" tonight, you know there's gonna be some meaty treats on stage! The ladies, of course, should be equally pleased by some of the performances and performers...there's always plenty of hubba hubba for everyone and surprise guests to boot. Oh, and lady Aguilera will be performing, which should make readers of The Advocate happy - all three of ya! (*wink*)
"Celebrity Duets" - Repeat of Tuesday's premiere
8:00 p.m. ET - FOX
Don't get too excited people - it's just a repeat of Tuesday's performances. But if you missed Jai Rodriguez and Little Richard first time around here's your chance to catch them in action once more. Once was enough for me thanks, but I'd totally watch it again because of the Little Richard and Lucy Lawless and perhaps for the Jai.
"Big Brother 7: All Stars"
8:00 p.m. ET - CBS
Another loser gets sent to the sequester house - you know, I really thought the season six folks would do better...go fig! (Let's just hope Janelle wins!) Or hell, I'd even like to see Chicken George win, and I know I'm not alone...but he might be going home after tonight's elimination as he's up on the block. (I hope it's Danielle instead.)
8:00 p.m. ET - ABC
Delicious! It's a Thanksgiving repeat with a steaming side of gay when Joe (Steven W. Bailey) brings his boyfriend Walter (Jack Yang) to Izzy's Thanksgiving dinner. I'm sure I could make a joke about stuffing and gobbling, but really - I'm better than that. No really! Who knew this show was so darn gay? Not I! (I admit I shy away from the medical dramas.)
"A Closer Walk"
9:00 p.m. ET - PBS (Check your local listings - time could vary by region)
Wonder what all those bling-laden rock-stars could be doing with their money? Follow Glenn Close and Will Smith in this acclaimed documentary about the global AIDS epidemic and find out. No fluff here folks, just the brutal truth about AIDS and what we ain't doing.
"Who Wants to Be A Superhero" - Season finale
9:00 p.m. ET - Sci Fi
It's ALL about the Fat Momma! Go Fat Momma, go! Since this is the season finale, you never know - they could bring back the gay loser who never made it into the club house...I think his name was Levity. If Fat Momma doesn't win, I'm going on a hunger strike Mr. Lee! If she wins, I think her made-for-TV movie would be a hoot. While she's no lesbian, she's totally got your back if you are a lesbian, she's all about protecting the minorities from bullies. (Like our "president" for instance.)
"ANT: America is Ready"
I dunno ANT, I'd argue that America *isn't* all that ready. But then again, I'm gun shy when it comes to men with ultra-plucked eyebrows. I think I'd rather watch his other show on LOGO...not as ANT heavy, you know?
"The Henry Rollins Show" - Eddie Izzard drops by
11:00 p.m. ET - IFC
It's crazy that neither of 'em are gay, though I wish both of 'em were. (I'd only sleep with Rollins, of course. But I'd go shopping with Eddie!)
