Ann-Margret, Rita Moreno, and Julian Sands Join Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks Film

Whoopi Goldberg Honored At HRC Gala

The Greater New York's HRC (Human Rights Campaign) gala at the Waldorf was a big old gay jamboree, with the theme "Make Equality Count" firing up everyone from the silent auction through the dinner speakers and beyond. One of the honorees was Whoopi Goldberg, who's been quite progressive on the air ... More >>

Working The Red Carpet Was Intoxicating At The HRC Gala!

I could get used to that sort of thing. On Saturday night, publicist Ross Schwartz ushered me into a separate room at the Waldorf, where all the notables attending the Human Rights Campaign gala were asked to go onstage, one by one, and pose in front of the step-and-repeat, as photographers snapped ...

The Most Stud-Studded Season In Broadway History

This season has seen its share of flops, but who cares when the flop sweat drips so alluringly on a bevy of half-naked guys (and on some who are in hits too)?

Porn Comes To Broadway With The Performers: My Review

Like sex itself, David West Read's The Performers--about two couples colliding in the adult entertainment arena--is kind of guiltily enjoyable while it lasts, though by the end, you think, "Did I really need to do that?" There are laughs, with racy jokes mixed into a sort of sitcommy formula, amoun ... More >>

Cheyenne Jackson Tells Me About Playing An Adult Film Star

Who Should Star In The Broadway Musical Of Magic Mike?

There was talk of just such a project right before the male-disrobing epic opened, and since it had a boffo (or buff-o?) weekend at the box office, the musical will surely come.

Kristin Chenoweth Is Paging The Olsen Twins

​"I'd love to direct one of the Olsen twins in the story of my life!" cracked the Tony and Emmy winning star at the Drama League tribute in her honor at the Pierre last night. Chenoweth has so many sides to her talent she'd probably need the entire Osmond family.

'Cheyenne Jackson's Cocktail Hour'

A Gay "Formula Movie" Levels The Playing Field

A "formula movie" is a standard-issue flick that unabashedly retreads a familiar plotline. It generally has a setup, a dramatic turning point, a revelation, a climax, and an ending, and as the train chugs along, you can pretty much see the wheels turning. The Green -- co-starring this week's colu ... More >>

American Idol Season 9: Ellen Degeneres Makes Hollywood Week Slightly Bearable

Michael Becker / FOXHollywood Week​We're almost in real-time now--the Hollywood round began taping only a few weeks ago.

American Idol Season 9: "Chris Brown Touches Kids," Victoria Beckham Has No Spice at Boston Auditions

It's raining in Boston. I'm taking that as a metaphor. Everyone could just pack it in right now, go home, stay dry, and we'd be none the poorer. Instead, 9,000 American Idol hopefuls visually and aurally assault viewers for the next two hours, and subsequently five months, and most likely several mo ... More >>
