This is from four weeks ago but I had not seen the video until earlier tonight. It’s Cher in Provincetown where she appeared in support of Hillary Clinton. She speaks of her 50-year connection with gay fans – and it’s still going strong. Love live Cher.
Neil Patrick Harris is finding out that his twins Gideon and Harper have their own ideas about Halloween as they head towards their sixth birthdays.
The Emmy and Tony award winning actor and actor-chef husband David Burtka have gone all out in year’s past with themed costumes and the twins happily went along.
Last year was a Star Wars theme and past group efforts have been inspired by Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz and Batman and then there was the year they were a clan of monsters.
‘They are starting to have more of an opinion which is a little bit annoying,’ Harris admitted to Seth Myers this week on NBC’s Late Night.
‘This year we’re trying to slow play the family costume idea. … I’m trying to do Jedi mind tricks on them and not saying, “Here’s our costume this year.”‘
Instead he will say things like, ‘That’s a cool idea, we should dress up like that sometime.’
But it’s already tricky because daughter Harper is into a cartoon called Monster High which Harris describes as ‘kind of like Barbies but goth.’
His fear is this: ‘I don’t think anyone will get that it’s Monster High. They’ll just think she’s a goth prostitute.’
They really are just so adorable. They even twerk a little in this week’s video. Enjoy!
Openly gay singer Billy Gilman is hoping Adam Levine can launch him back on his way to stardom.
Gilman chose Levine to be coach on NBC’s The Voice this week after all four judges expressed interest and Levine and new judge Miley Cyrus courted him aggressively.
Gilman had been a country music star as a child and teen but faded into oblivion after a double-platinum debut and two gold albums.
‘I had to come to grips with being gay,’ the 28 year old told show host Carson Daly.
‘I took a long time to rebuild vocally, but it was coming back, and then coming to grips with who I was personally, I also came to grips with who I was as a singer.’
Gilman performed Adele’s When We Were Young for his blind audition and has made clear he wants to expand beyond country music.
‘You know, I love my country music roots, but deep down, I really always wanted to be a pop singer.’
Gilman came out publicly in 2014 and believes The Voice is his ‘one shot’ to reinvent himself.
‘Being a gay male country artist is not the best things,’ he said. ‘Within the quiet moments, I found who I was as a person,’
Murray Bartlett wasn’t out of work for long.
The Aussie actor, who played Dom for the two seasons on HBO’s Looking, has been cast in a recurring role on TV’s Nashville.
Bartlett will play a successful men’s fashion designer named Jakob Fine in the country music drama which has moved from ABC to CMT for its fifth season, according to Deadline Hollywood.
It’s not yet known how Fine will work into the storyline since men’s fashion has not been a plot point in previous seasons.
Bartlett recently stepped back into his Looking role for a series finale movie that premiered on HBO in July.
The 45-year-old actor has a long list of television credits including regular roles on the US daytime soaps All My Children and Guiding Light as well as the Australian prime-time soap Home and Away.
Bartlett, who is openly gay, toured with Hugh Jackman in the Australian touring company production of Jackman’s Broadway hit The Boy From Oz.
Saw the remake of The Magnificent Seven last night at the Cinerama Done in Hollywood and I can highly recommend it. While I was familiar with many in the cast including Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Chris Pratt, Vincent D’Onofrio, Peter Sarsgaard and, in a small but pivotal role, Matt Bomer, I had not seen today’s very handsome Morning Man before. He’s Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and he is very good in the movie – especially in his scenes with Pratt. Manuel’s other credits include the Jennifer Aniston movie Cake and From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.
Chaz Bono makes his first appearance on Where the Bears Are in this episode and what a welcome addition he is. I had not seen Chaz act before and he has the chops! In this week’s second episode, the Bears track Chase Hansen to a Downtown LA gay bar where Martinez (George Unda) is now a popular party promoter and may hold the key to where they can locate the rogue agent. Meanwhile, Todd worries his lies to Nelson may affect their marriage and Reggie accosts a mysterious man (Bono) who seems to have Todd under surveillance.
That adorable engaged couple Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black are obviously two men from two different countries.
The question is, which country will they be getting married in next year?
Same-sex marriage is legal in Olympic diver Daley’s Great Britain and in Oscar winner Black’s United States.
‘I don’t think it’s been completely decided yet,’ Daley said at the GQ Awards before joining Black in Los Angeles last week.
‘He wants it to be in the UK and I kind of like the idea of the US wedding. We’ll see.’
Daley has said the wedding might take place in the spring of 2017.
‘The wedding planning’s going good actually,’ he says.
‘I’m meeting with some people … to get things started which is very exciting. It’s all going well … it’s going to be an exciting few years ahead.’
‘It’s been an especially busy year for the high-profile couple.
Daley competed in the Rio Olympics and won a bronze medal in the 10 metre platform synchro dive while Black has been shooting and editing the ABC miniseries When We Rise.
Black won an Academy Award in 2009 fro his screenplay for the film Milk.
The couple is due to attend this weekend’s Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Vanguard Awards in West Hollywood.
Billy on the Street and Difficult People star Billy Eichner has joined the all-star cast of NBC’s Hairspray Live! which airs Dec. 7.
Billy will show up in the musical’s second act as a local TV newscaster named Rob Barker who reports on Tracy Turnblad’s escape from the law and her attempt to integrate The Corny Collins Show.
The rest of the cast includes Harvey Fierstein (as Edna Turnblad), Maddie Baillio (Tracy Turnblad), Ariana Grande (Penny Pingleton), Jennifer Hudson (Motormouth Maybelle), Kristin Chenoweth (Velma Von Tussle), Martin Short (Wilbur Turnblad), Derek Hough (Corny Collins), Dove Cameron (Amber Von Tussle), Garrett Clayton (Link Larkin), Andrea Martin (Prudy Pingleton), Ephraim Sykes (Seaweed J. Stubbs), Shahadi Wright Joseph (Little Inez), Rosie O’Donnell (the gym teacher), and Sean Hayes (Mr. Pinky).
This was posted last week but I just came across it. Sheryl Sandberg interviews The Divine Miss M and my favorite parts are when she talks about her favorite girl singers and about her return to Broadway next year in Hello, Dolly! She also talks about the two biggest keys to the success of her 50 year career: Perseverance and ‘I also had a lot of talent.’ True that!
Can you believe these beautiful eyes?
They belong to Canadian actor J.R. Bourne who is best known as Martouf from Stargate SG-1 and Chris Argent from Teen Wolf.
The 46-year-old actor also had a recurring role on Revenge during the show’s second season and plays a C.I.A agent on the Sci-Fi show Fringe. 
A huge congratulations to MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts who won an Emmy earlier tonight. The award was for NBC/MSNBC’s breaking news coverage of the US Supreme Court’s historic ruling on same-sex marriage which brought marriage equality to all 50 states. ‘What a great honor tonight for our team,’ Thomas wrote on Facebook. The award was among those presented at the 37th News & Documentary Emmy Awards. 
You gotta to figure that when theater veterans James Corden, Alan Cumming and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are in the same room together, there’s bound to be some singing.
It happened last night when Cumming and Ferguson were guests on Corden’s The Late Late Show.
The trio launched into a sketch titled Inappropriate Musicals.
And were they ever.
They performed musicals numbers based off of very unlikely sources: Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and Breaking Bad.
Modern Family star Ferguson, stepped into the role of Throne’s Ned Stark as he was about to get beheaded.
‘Birth and death, red and purple weddings, dire wolves and dragons have to grow,’ he sang. ‘So many white walkers, so many beheading. You can’t hold the door on tomorrow. Winter is coming, winter is coming, winter is coming all over you!’
Ferguson’s Broadway credits include a 1999 revival of On the Town and this year’s solo play Fully Committed.
Cumming won the Tony Award for Cabaret in 1998 and starred in last year’s revival of the show.
Corden appeared on Broadway in the play The History Boys and co-starred in the feature film version of the musical Into the Woods.
Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie are opening up about their reaction to their son, EJ Johnson, being gay.
Magic, whose NBA career was cut short after he tested positive for the HIV virus, admits he ‘didn’t want’ his son to be gay.
EJ came out publicly in 2013 and has since gone on to become a reality TV star on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and a gender-bending fashionista.
‘I had to come to realize that this is who he is, and he’s going to be happy,’ says his father. ‘And so why am I judging him? I’m his father, so I got to be the first one to say, ”It’s OK and I love you. Now, how can I help you?’”
The retired NBA legend discussed his son on ABC’s Good Morning America today to promote Cookie’s new memoir, Believing in Magic: My Story of Love, Overcoming Adversity, and Keeping the Faith.
Cookie says of EJ: ‘Ultimately you want your child to be happy. But I also knew that [Magic] didn’t understand. And I was still trying to figure it out. I’m not going to sit here and say that I understood that he was gay at that time, because I didn’t. I just knew that this is what made him happy. And as time went on, it never changed.’
She adds: ‘You gotta love your child. Love wins.’
I happened across a TV show called Lucky Dog in which this very handsome dog trainer, Brandon McMillan, takes dogs that are about to be euthanized and matches them with a new owner.
Brandon grew up in the circus because his family is animal trainers. He jokes that he’s been “picking up tiger poop” as far back as he can remember.
Since becoming an animal trainer, Brandon has trained lions, bears, tigers, reptiles and even insects for such films as The Hangover, We Bought a Zoo, The Jungle Book II, I Am Sam, Buddy, Soul Plane, Red Dragon and television’s 24, Dharma and Greg, Jackass, Wildboyz and Carnivale, plus hundreds of commercials and ads.
Brandon is well known in Los Angeles for rescuing dogs out of the pound that are just days away from being put to sleep and turn them into movie stars. Many of Hollywood’s A-list celebrities call upon Brandon to help with their out of control pets at home including Ellen and Portia (see video below).
