WATCH: Jane Lynch on healing, honesty, and the freedom that comes with being yourself

From her iconic role as Sue Sylvester in “Glee” to her unforgettable performances in “Best in Show” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Jane Lynch has built a career on making people laugh. But behind the humor is a woman who has found peace through truth and self-acceptance. Jane opens up to Hoda Kotb about how therapy helped her shed years of shame, what she learned from her relationship with her mother, how “Glee” continues to impact fans more than a decade later, and why she now finds joy in the quiet moments of everyday life.

Happy 80th birthday Bette Midler!

Whether it’s as Winifred Sanderson (Hocus Pocus), Dolly Levi (Hello, Dolly!), C.C. Bloom (Beaches),  Dixie Leonard (For the Boys), Brenda Morelli-Cushman (First Wives Club) or Mary Rose Foster (The Rose), today’s birthday girl Bette Midler, has inhabited an unforgettable series of indelible characters on screen and stage.

But the most unforgettable one of all is an exaggerated, bawdy version of herself: The Divine Miss M!

Along the way, this entertainment legend has conquered Broadway, Las Vegas, the film, television, and music industries with number one box office hits and number one records. She’s won three Grammys, three Emmys, two Tonys, and been nominated for two Oscars. She’s also won four Golden Globe Awards, including one for her performance in the superb 1993 television remake of the musical Gypsy.

So much to mention when it comes to Bette. All the hit records (Wind Beneath My Wings, From a Distance, The Rose), more hit movies (Ruthless People, Big Business, Outrageous Fortune, Down and Out in Beverly Hills), and such memorable gigs as her days performing at the Continentals Baths in NYC and being Johnny Carson’s final guest on The Tonight Show.

There’s so much more as Bette is multi-talented and prolific and I’ve been at least interested in pretty much all she’s ever done!

Below is a random series of videos celebrating the icon on her 80th birthday.

Enjoy!

Tennis pro Mika Brunold comes out publicly as gay man: “Pretending to be someone I’m not was never an option”

We all know there must be a number of male tennis pros, some probably pretty famous, who are gay. But no one playing on the main ATP Tour has come out publicly during their playing days.

That’s why it is so courageous that Swiss pro Mika Brunold, ranked in the top 300 this year and currently 307, has publicly announced via Instagram that he is gay.

Hooray!

Last year, Brazilian player Joao Lucas Reis da Silva also came out as gay. He has been ranked in the top 400.

Wishing much success to both players moving forward!

Men’s tennis has never had a top star come out, unlike women’s tennis where Wimbledon champs Martina Navratilova, Conchita Martinez, Amelie Mauresmo were out during their playing years. Billie Jean King was outed by vindictive ex-girlfriend during the final years of her playing career but has since been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ equality.

Emmy winner Dan Levy on queer representation, “Schitt’s Creek” and dating disasters

On the How To Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, the host and guest Dan Levy bonded over eyebrows, amongst other things. You’ll know Levy, of course, as David Rose in the widely adored TV show Schitt’s Creek, which he co-wrote and created with his father Eugene Levy. If ever there was a story of failure leading to success, it’s this, as Dan tells me how his multi-award winning and critically acclaimed show was (initially) turned down by every single network in the USA. We also chat about relationship failures and a particular childhood incident involving birthday cake. Plus, they explore his film Good Grief – a beautiful gay love story for the modern age – and his personal influences behind it.
