Funniest Line Ever: “Love makes everyone a little gay.”
Two and a
Half Men
, from the mother, Monday night.

Gotta love Sunday night’s ending of
Brothers and Sisters. There’s
going to be a big gay wedding!

Jeeeesus! I saw Tony Curtis on
The Graham Norton Show
(BBCAmerica) Saturday night. He has huge cheeks and stretched
eyebrows, plus he’s bald and severely overweight. He looked like he
was wearing a latex mask. The man inside was still the same,
however—talented and funny!

Good News! Masturbation prevents prostrate cancer! It’s been all
over the news. I hate to tell you I told you so, Mother, but I’m telling
you now! I’m gonna live to be 200!


April 26, 2008
Now that Carly Smithson and others have left
American Idol, I’m
back to rooting for my original fave, David Archuleta. He’s only
seventeen and cute as a button. Don’t you think he looks kind of like
the Mad TV ikon, “What Me Worry?” only 100 times cuter? I wonder if
anyone has told him he’s gay. You heard me. My Gaydar is off the
charts and I can’t wait for him to come out!


April 12,2008
I’m shocked and disappointed that Michael Johns was sent home on
American Idol. Unbelievable! Not since Jennifer Hudson has such a
dreadful mistake been made.


April 9, 2008
Idol talk: Michael Johns blew me away again with “Dream On,” even
though Randy didn’t like it, for some unfathomable reason.

Jason Castro wowed me with his totally unique take of “Over the
Rainblow.”

I loved Carly Smithson’s performance, but didn’t understand a word.

Carly, step it up to songs that take you into a loud and bluesy world,
like Janis Joplin’s “Ball and Chain.” You heard me! You can do it!

David Archuleta did good, but I think Michael Johns proved to be
best, once again! Come on, David, choose songs that are big and
painful!


April 4 2008
Gotta love Morgan Fairchild’s entrance on Wednesday’s new
Men in
Trees.
It was like she’s making a comeback, fresh from the skin
doctor, but looking great, I must admit.

All I have to say about
American Idol is it was a fun show with Dolly
Living-Legend Parton. Michael Johns knocked my socks off with
“It’s all Wrong but it’s All Right.” Also good, like butter even, was my
other fav, David Archuleta, although I couldn’t understand all the
words to his song, something about Jesus. Also of note was Carly
Smithson's “Here You Come Again,” and David Cook’s “Little
Sparrow.” I also liked Jason Castro doing “Travelin.’” I vote for all of
the aforementioned, maybe Michael Johns a little more.

I finally watched
Dancing With the Stars and freaked out when I saw
Priscilla Presley. Somebody needs to tell her the dermatologist went
a little overboard in the cheek injection department. On the plus side,
in case of an accident, those cheeks could be used as flotation
devices, keeping her nose above water.


March 30, 2008
Well, the surge is finally working. After being chased out of Bagdad,
the “enemy” has regrouped and is now hitting the Green Zone with
rockets from beyond the concrete walls. Horror fiction is not this
grim. I’ll say it again. One does not tell the enemy what you’re going
to do before you do it. Giving notice allows them to organize. I’m
talking to you, President George W. Bush, and you’re not listening . .
. as usual. Thank God, your reign is soon coming to an end.


March 27,2007
David Cook won Tuesday night’s
American Idol hands down, with
his unique take on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” I agree with
Simon. Brilliant! He even put my usual fav, David Archuleta, to shame.

I’ve got good news and bad. The good is the squirrel and her babies
left my attic. The bad news is red wasps chased them out.

The weather has been delightful. Many plants are sprouting or
blooming a good month early. And so are the weeds; I need to get
busy with that, but I’ve been tied up adding exquisite photos of my
flowers to my new website,
www.FreeFishCareTips.com/photos8


March 19, 2008
Brilliant! Is the only way to describe Barack Obama’s hijacking the
presidential “race” yesterday with his speech. The networks
devoted huge amounts of time to it, even to the point of hosting
panel discussions after the address. Such moves are usually
reserved for heads of state.






President Obama

President ever






I’ve been thinking about the mixed race thing for some time now. The
planet’s survival will be assured by those of mixed race, as they are
vigorous, sensitive and empathetic. It’s only natural. The fact that a
hell of a lot of them are beautiful is simply a nice plus. I mean, look
around. Vanessa Williams is one. So is Beyonce, and a dozen more
celebrities. Keep your eyes and ears open. There’s a whole
generation of mixed race people out there ready to change the
world. All I have to say is “Hallelujah!”

I’ve got squirrels in my attic. I just thought I should tell you in case I
begin to get agitated, it might explain some things. One of these
days, soon, I hope, I’ll drag my black ass up into the attic and trap the
little darlings.

Now for my
Idol rundown:
Amanda Overmeyer sang out of tune again, so I’m over my feelings
for her. I’m still not sure if she’s goth or bohemian or what? She
looked better, smiled more. Almost like she just downed a Red Bull, if
you know what I mean. And what I mean is antidepressants! ‘cause
they often work, at least for awhile. But they can’t make you a better
singer! You know what I mean? Case closed!

My man, David Archuleta, reigned supreme again, his voice
sounding like a crystal clear sun-dappled creek flowing over moss-
covered rocks and into a lake in Evergreen, Colorado. Smooth!

“Day Tripper,” sung by David Cook was good, but not smooth
enough to beat the Archuleta King.

Have you noticed?? There are too many Davids, Brookes, and
Cooks in this contest, making it confusing.

Michael Johns was good but not good enough.

Carly Smithson, who sang “Blackbird,” was kind of dull this time.
And what the deal was that dress? It looked like an Amy Winehouse
reject!

Jason Castro, who is very cute, did “Michele” in a smooth, sleek
style, but I’m still holding out for David Archuleta.

Syesha Mercado “Yesterday”  a really sad reality-jarring song that I
love, but didn’t quite feel. Maybe  because she’s a child singing a
song about growing old. Syesha, don’t get me wrong. I like you, I
really do, but my heart belongs to David Archuleta, even if it makes
me seem like a dirty old man. I paid my dues. Big time! You heard me!
Go read my bio!

Brooke White, who sang “Let it Be” last week, this week did “Here
Comes the Sun.” This week, not so good.

Kristy Cook was off tune, her hairpiece a deflated Amy Winehouse
reject. Check the “No” box.

Chikezie sang “I’ve Just Seen a Face” right after I had been trying
figure out who he reminded me of. He sang well, but I didn’t really
care for it. Sorry!

Ramiele Malubay did “I Shoulda Known Better.” Okay but not
fabulous.

So that’s it  for
Idol! Good luck to all, expecially David Archuleta!


March 15, 2009
I’ve been busy like a child with a new toy. Eight years ago, I planted
thousands of daffodils around my 15 country acres, along with
pansies, violas, and Johnny Jump Ups. The latter three are gone but
the daffodils have thrived. So, I’ve been taking pictures with my new
camera and posting them on my other website. Check them out
starting here:
www.FreeFishCareTips.com/photos8 It’s free and the
flowers are stunning!

Idol Watch: my favorite of the women is currently Carly Smithson,
who sang the Beatles’ “Come Together.” Overall, I still favor David
Archuleta in spite of his sad showing Wednesday and am sorely
disappointed that David Hernandez got voted off.

Fox’s
The Return of Jezebel James, aired back to back Friday night,
was funny as hell. I highly recommend it.

Question of the Day: Are facials politically incorrect? For both
Democrats and Republicans?

AmneSia, or however you spell it, ran too slow for me, so I give it 3
weeks before it dies of cancellation. The show was produced by
somebody named Weiner, ain’t that a betch? And Dennis Miller as
the host? I thought he was above this sort of thing. Didn’t he used to
be a communist? That was a joke. He looked like he was having the
DT’s. That’s not a joke.


March 6, 2008
Nice to see Wanda Sykes again now that
The New Adventures of Old
Christine
is back with new, interesting episodes. Oh, yeah. Good to
see Julia Louis-Dreyfus, too.

People reports that Amy Winehouse has an infectious skin disease
called “impetigo.” It causes “pimple-like sores that are highly
contagious.” My position as a fan is beginning to fade. Yucko!

The girls on
American Idol weren’t as good as the guys. I’m back to
Amanda Overmeyer as best of the ladies. Overall, I’m rooting for
David Archuleta, but would be just as satisfied with bad-boy David
Hernandez. After all, every man my age could use a lap dance!

February Gold Daffodils Narcissus Jonquils from the authors free flower photo website.
............................................

February 29, 2008
Is anyone else watching the Logo Channel’s
Transamerican Love
Story
? My bet is they reveal at the end that all, not just some of the
guys, are transgendered female to male. It’s a good series.

Best Comeback Ever Dept: On Eli Stone—“Your ex is a lesbian?”
Answer: “Who isn’t these days?”

Smithson torched Heart’s “Crazy on You.” Natch, I identified. We’ll
cry tomorrow, though. I’ve gotta watch the all-woman
American Idol
right now. I’ll get back to you later, alley gator.

Shaysha Mercado belted out that “Mrs. Jones” song and got
reprimanded for it unfairly by Randy and Simon, I do believe.

Kristy Lee Cook did justice to Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re No Good.”
Plus she’s real pretty. Too pretty? Is there such a thing?

Amanda Overmeyer disappointed me. And that hair! It was like
Cruella Lives! Scary! The people who helped her into that get-up
screwed up big time. Even her clothes were contrived, as Simon said.

Alaina Whitaker did good, too, while Asia’h Epperson is cute but
sang off-key. Brooke White sang “Vain” in such a way that did not
defame Carly Simon.

All in all, my vote still goes to 17 year-old David Archuleta (“Imagine”).


February 27, 2008
Jason Castro on
American Idol came across as kind of sexy, in his
own shy way. Keep your eye on that guy, everybody. He’s the one
with the long, semi-braided tresses and the big brown eyes! And
then there’s Luke Menard with a sexy new look. Try saying his name
three times in a row. Can’t be done in mixed company. Vote for him
to spite Simon! You heard me!

Danny Noriega who sang “Don’t chya Remember,Baby?” Randy
gave him a bum review. He looks so young and vulnerable that I
wonder if ‘n’ when he’s going to come out. Danny, not Randy. Git it?
Got it? Grade it!

David Hernandez brought the house down with “Papa was a Rolling
Stone.” I think I’m ready to vote for him now.

David Archuleta did it ten times better with John Lennon’s
“Imagine.” So, I’m backing him again for number one. Actually,
they’re all damned good. Why don’t they give each a contract?
Makes sense to me!

I like these all-male
American Idols. I love it when they come together
in one place.


February 25, 2008
So, I've got this new camera and today I took a photo of my first
harbingers of spring,
crocus species in full bloom, so I just had to
share:


















Pretty heirloom crocus in my front yard:     Yellow Mammoth (above) and lavendar
Tommasinianus Tommy Crocus (below) 2-26-08 photos by Gale Chester Whittington





















I found the Academy Awards rather bland, but that’s not true of the
host, Jon Stewart (
The Daily Show), who delivered his lines with
extra funny finesse. Even the winners seemed bored with their
statues.

When I first saw those ads for
Eli Stone where he finds George
Michael in his living room, my reaction was, “What? Does Eli Stone
live next to a park?”

Okay, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll call the race. I believe it’s going to be
David Archuleta (“Shop Around”) on
American Idol. I’m also kind of
in love with David Hernandez (“Midnight Hour”) and Amanda
Overmyer ("Tobacco Road").

From last week’s naughty-naughty
Torchwood episode: “Have you
ever eaten Grogian meat . . . and how was it?” Answer: “Yes and he
seemed to enjoy it.”

Another Bette (Midler, not Davis) quote on
ET: “Underneath all this
(She waved at her face), is a little old lady!”

Boys II Men reunion on
Don’t Forget the Lyrics Thursday proved
interesting. They’re old guys already! And I just hit the big 6-0 myself.
Where the hell did the time go?


February 18, 2007
Best Line Ever: “This is quite homoerotic,” by hot Captain Jack, on a
new
Torchwood on BBC Saturday night.

Best Line Ever (after being frisked): “You missed a spot,” sayeth the
friskee.  Replied the frisker, “You can’t miss a place you’ve never
been.” From the SciFi Channel’s
Firefly, which I happened to see on
a fly-bi. You heard me! And now I’m hooked on Nathian Fillian.
Whaaat?

Got a new camera, a Kodak C813, which I like just fine, I
think. It does
video, as well, but I’m still trying to get the hang of the snapshots. I
did actually read part of the directions already. Usually, that’s a last
resort for me. I accidentally videoed my computer, but no one wants
to look at that.

It was nice to see Carol Living-Legend Burnett on
Oprah Monday
along with Jim Carey and Steve Carell, all doing the voices of
characters in the new animated Dr. Seus movie,
Horton Hears a
Who!
Carol’s show was my Saturday night fix during a long, painful
childhood. She was my relief valve. Thanks, Carol!

Bette Midler quote on Monday’s
ET about her upcoming Vegas
extravaganza, complete with the Harlettes in fish tail, “This is the
dirtiest show I’ve ever done.”


February 15, 2008
I don’t like those new Hillary speeches where she goes negative
against Obama. She should apologize and promise to never do it
again.

ET reported Judge Judy saying, Obama’s “wife is the cat’s meow.”
Intriguing, as I agree with her! You heard me!

Oprah hosted Carson Living-Legend Kressley (Queer Eye) of the
Lifetime Channel’s fairly new
How to Look Good Naked . It proved
interesting. Carson said he wanted to be called the “Bra Whisperer,”
after clips showing him upping the esteem of plus-sized women on
the Friday night program.

The President appeared on BBC
World News on Thursday and said
this: “I’m comfortable saying we can’t be too comfortable about the
terrorists.” Whaaaat? I’m afraid he still scares me . . . at least for the
next ten months.


February 11, 2007
The 50th
Grammy Awards was truly fantastic! Ok, I’ll say it:fabuloso.
That means fun. Did you catch all the giant cheeks under the lights?
Too many to count. But, let me see. Cher and Tina Turner obviously
had theirs tuned up, but all for the better. They rocked for old ladies!

More
Grammy honors: The Foofighters sounded wickedly delicious
as they wailed. I had no idea what they said but I did love it! And
Aretha wore an apricot/yellow tent awning, but Queens of Souls are
allowed to do anything they damned well want to! Carey Underwood
was very convincing as a bad girl, with so many extensions her
entire back was covered. Don’t get me wrong. She looked hot. It
worked!

Remember when I suggested people watch Amy Winehouse? Now
she’s an international bad-girl who fought the government for a visa
and lost. Seems they didn’t want to issue one to a “criminal.” TV ads
said she was going to sing at Sunday’s
Grammy Awards, by hook or
by crook! Of course, she ended up doing it via satellite. A mild
disappointment, but she gave a great performance, anyway.

Last
Grammy notes: The tribute to the Beatles with Circus Soleit
(sp?) was great. I felt like I was back in the 60s. Loved it!

Friday’s episode of
House on Fox was a repeat, I guess, but it was
funny as hell and kind of disgusting at the same time. I’m not sure I
trust people who cut up bodies for a living. Ya Know?


February 8, 2007
Living-Legend Cher popped up on
Good Morning America on
Tuesday with a new face, and, guess what? Huge cheeks! Looks like
she turned back time and then some!

CSI's episode, “Lying down with Dogs,” was gross with a capital G. I
know that was the point—the dog fighting and people parts were
supposed to look real, but it was gross, gross, gross!

NBC’s new comedy,
Lipstick Jungle, premiere Thursday night had
me rolling on the floor. I hereby award them six stars out of five.
Whaaat? The description in my guide made it sound like a rip-off of
Ugly Betty but it wasn’t. It stars Brooke Living-Legend Shields. She
looked Great without the giant cheeks so popular in Hollywood
these days! But I couldn’t believe how at the end of the show, the
network started hocking their stars’ clothes on its website.


February 6, 2008
Today is my birthday, but please don’t congratulate me, as I just hit
the big 6-0. Where did all the time go?

I hate to say it, but I’m hooked on
The Moment of Truth (Fox
Wednesday). Unfortunately, the show borders on being mean and
inaccurate, but I can’t stop watching.

It was fun to see Raquel Welch on the pilot of
Welcome to the
Captain
. She looked fantastic with her new cheeks (facial). I finally
figured out that plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills or Hollywood get
rid of the stars’ wrinkles by pumping filler into their faces. That’s why
the divas are all beginning to look alike, from Joan Rivers to Barry
Mannilow. Personally, I think it makes the cheeks look too big.

Aside from some stupid necrophilia jokes, the return of
The New
Adventures of Old Christine
Monday night was laugh out loud
hilarious. It seemed a little short on the editing, as if it had been
rushed to fruition, but, all in all, it was a triumphant return. Loved the
lesbian banter!


February 3, 2008
Exxon just announced they made $45.6 billion, a record for any US
company in history. It’s also totally obscene, as the price of gas is
the main contributor to our messed-up economy. I can’t believe the
politicians let them get away with it.

I’m happy to report the new season of
Torchwood (BBC, Saturdays,
8 p.m.) is hotter than ever with more guy on guy kissing, as well as a
great story line and plot. If you haven’t seen it yet, you owe it to
yourself to check it out.

I’ve decided to endorse Barak Obama because I’m afraid Hillary
Clinton would galvanize too many Republicans and Independents to
vote against her. I believe a dream ticket would be Barak for
President and Hillary for Vice-President. I can’t wait until I can feel
good about our wonderful country again.

Rumors abound that the Screen Writers Guild are close to closing a
deal with producers, maybe as soon as this week. All I have to say is,
“Hallelujah!”  The down side is it will take a couple of months for new
episodes to be written and produced. In the meantime, we can watch
shows we missed the first time around because we were watching
something else. So, I guess it’s all good, if not great.


February 1, 2008
I haven’t been posting as often as usual because I’ve been busy
setting up a new website. It’s ready to go now, so please check it
out.
www.FreeFishCareTips.com It features my expertise from 50
years of raising fish and birds. Plus it has an
Ask Gale feature, where
you can query me about anything you want. And it’s all free thanks
to advertisements!

Bette Living-Legend Midler looked fantastic with her new cheeks on
Monday’s
Oprah. She said she’s lost 15 pounds getting ready for her
February 20 debut of
The Showgirl Must Go On, at Caesar’s Palace,
where she’s filling Celine’s old spot. Whaaaat? You heard me!

Fox’s
The Moment of Truth is way too harsh for me. Maybe some
people like to be humiliated in public, but not me, even for money.
Come to think of it, I don’t care for it in private, either.


January 26, 2008
Heath Ledger dead at 28, found naked on the floor of his NYC
apartment, “surrounded by pills.” Rest in peace, Heath. You did
some great things while you were here.

Can’t believe Bill Clinton, first his attacks on Obama and then his
falling asleep on camera. He needs to slow down the rhetoric.

Okay, I’ll admit it. It was because of the nudity I started watching the
Travel Channel’s
Tribal Life about the natives of Bunlap in the South
Pacific, but the stories fascinated me so much I couldn’t stop
watching the Sunday marathon. The men are handsome and built
while the women are mostly ugly and let’s just say, now I know why
women wear bras. And I guess gays are everywhere. I swear I saw
one bleached blond young man hanging out in the men only section
of the village. I noticed him ‘cause he kept looking at the camera! Did
anybody else spot him?


January 19, 2008
I watched  the
Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency again on the
Oxygen Channel and was not disappointed. More eye-candy and
gay drama than before and that was a lot! I must say, however,
something Janice does not like to be called: She’s a real bitch and
that’s a good thing, Martha, but I couldn’t work for her.

Because I couldn’t find anything good to watch, I was forced to see
the
Apprentice season premiere, where quasi-celebrities (Amarosa,
That Guy from Kiss, etc.) formed two teams, one male, one female,
and competed by selling hot dogs! What a rip-off! They were allowed
to call their rich friends in to buy the dogs for $5000+. I mean, really,
there’s less suspense to Carl Rove’s political agenda.

Is it just me, or is
American Idol boring and stupid this season, so
far? Ratings are up, so I guess it’s just me.

Reports are making the rounds that a new drug-resistant strain of
staff is showing up on gay men in major US cities, much like early
skin cancer reports were the harbinger of AIDS. This may be even
worse; one can get this infection just hugging or touching. I haven’t
had sex with anyone for over ten years, and now, damn it, I may
never again. Thank goodness for internet erotica, the safest sex
there is.


January 15, 2008
I can’t get enough of that new gay singer/songwriter, Chris Gorneau.
He has drop-dead beautiful blue eyes. He can be seen hosting
Logo’s
New/Now/Next video series this week. If you’re reading this,
Chris, the answer is “Yes! I will marry you. Just say ‘Yes!’ back and
my home in Oklahomo can be our base for when we need to get
away from all the madness of fame. Yes, I do have delusions of
grandeur. Humor me. Please.

I finally watched
Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1, on the SciFi
Channel, and found them a touch silly but the first was ripe with eye-
candy, especially male. Sometimes that’s all I need to watch a
program. Sad, but true. What a world! What a world!

The Golden Globes was certainly a let-down. I don’t understand why
producers aren’t talking with the writers. Hey, Guys, ever heard of
compromise? If the writers want say, 6%, give them 3%.

Train wreck Courtney Love showed up on Sat’s
Graham Norton, on
the BBC.  She said she used to be on the
Mickey Mouse Show. So
did every other train wreck diva, so it seems. I know Justin and
Britney were, although Justin seems to be doing just fine, busily
bringing sexy back and all.

CBS’s
Comanche Moon Mon night was disappointing, as in plain
boring, to be truthful. I couldn’t watch past the first hour. Of course,
that was the same time as a new episode of
Brothers and Sisters
aired, and that show is always delishush.


January 11, 2008
While watching “Satan: Prince of Darkness,” an episode of
Ancient
Almanac
, on the Discovery Health Channel, I got to thinking
something strange. What if God and Satan are the same person, like
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

There’s no such thing as too strong, as in men or drugs. Just
kidding! Or am I?

The Barak/Hillary race is getting dramatic. Although, when John
Kerry announced his endorsement of Obama, I asked myself why; I
mean who cares what lackluster John Kerry thinks? Where’s he
been hiding, anyway? Did he see his own shadow? You heard me!

Great news from
Entertainment Tonight: Carol Living-Legend
Burnett is hoping to return to TV via guest appearances. Truth
beknown, she looks super for a broad her age. Naturally, she’s not
talking about that, as she’s too busy looking forward.

Critics Choice Awards and Peoples Choice Awards sucked equally.
And what a cheap gimmick it was for the network to show stars
accepting in previous years. Some of the clips were duplicated.
What? Did the editor go on strike with the writers? What? Oh, I see,
the editor is one of the writers. Or,
was. I git it now!

D.L. Hugely, the host of Monday’s VH1
Critics Choice Awards, would
have been a lot more loveable if he dropped the macho act. He’s got
drop-dead gorgeous looks and I’ve seen him actually be funny.
Mainly, it’s all the lynch-type discrimination banter that’s out of
vogue.

December 30, 2007
William Sledd, the
Ask a Gay Man YouTube star was on a 20/20 rerun
Sun night. Please feel free to check out the top Gay YouTube Videos
while you’re browsing. They are here for your convenience and
they're free, like everything on this site. Please support my
advertisers! Thanks, Y’all . . . both of you.

David Letterman and Craig Ferguson are returning next week.
Producers of each have made a deal with World Wide Pants, the
parent company that owns both shows. Competing night talk shows
are set to return without monologues, the only reason I watch, so
unless they book a living legend, I won’t be there. Good Luck, Jay
and Conan.

Have you seen that insanely rich, bronze, blond surfer god, Laird
Hamilton, Alpha male at 44? WooooWeeee! If only he’d do brunch
with me. You can watch him on E Channel’s
Forbes’ TV20, which will
probably be repeated well into the new year, but I’m just guessing,
so don’t hate me ‘cause he’s beautiful.

I love
The Singing Bee because their house singers are excellent in
their own right, not to mention sexy as hell. I wish the producers
would let them belt out numbers all the way through. The Fri night
show with all those ex-child stars, I’m sorry to report, was just plain
sad. I mean, the grown kids are all big, fat, and ugly now. You heard
me! Somebody needs to say it!


December 28, 2007
That latest Jenny Craig commercial with Valerie Bertinelli where she
cries nearly cracked me up, but then I felt guilty for being insensitive,
so stop it, Val, will ya?

Jessica Simpson said on
The View this morning she wants a “man,
not a boy.” Was that a dig on her ex-hubby, ex-boy band member,
Nick Lachey? Not smooth, Jess!

Another Flat Failure for the Bush Administration:
ABC News
reported Thurs night the United States “orchestrated” slain/martyred
Bhutto’s return to Pakistan. When is our government going to stop
meddling?????????????

Do you believe what people can say on daytime TV nowadays? I just
watched an E Chanel interview wherein a woman said, “I like men
with big penises.” She was joking, of course. Or was she? Time to
call in the Small Penis Anti-Defamation League!

Jordan Sparks from
American Idol showed up on the Kennedy
Center Honors
with a hot, new look and smooth persona, fully
owning her plus size. She paid tribute to Diana Living Legend Ross
by doing a torch lit version of “Someday, We’ll Be Together.” Diana
herself appeared to be flat out sober. And she looked great, but I was
disappointed that she wore her trademark big hair, a thing popular in
drag shows waaaay back in the late eighties.

God, I hate this time of year. Huge snowflakes are falling as I write
and I can hear your response, “Snow is beautiful!!” So, my reply is,
“It’s depressing when you’re a lonely, bitter, crabby, old man. Now,
shuddup.”

Dead Ringer Dept: Country Crooner Taylor Swift, who won the
Horizon Award at the
CMA’s, looks exactly like a drag queen I knew
decades ago, in Denver-Causha Lee Victoria. Taylor’s and Causha’s
eyes are /were nearly identical. Causha went from Denver royalty to
the big time in Vegas playing Marilyn Monroe at the Tropicana’s
Boylesque show, all before she passed away from HIV, damn it! And
yes, she was a Colorado legend.


December 26, 2007
Enough already with the naked elders on calendars. Just like
The
Full Monty
, they’re all big rip-offs, anyway. They never actually show
any genitalia. I don’t know whether to complain or say thank you.

A date to remember—Jan 15 . . . an all new
American Idol premiers!

Just off the Wire: Fox’s
Prison Break will return soon. Those guys
are going to die of old age before they figure out they’ve already
been in jail for three years. Whatever happened to that delicious map
our protagonist hid on his bod? Did it lead to an empty tunnel or
dead end?

Here’s an idea for a
Saturday Night Live skit: Small Penis Anti-
Defamation League. (They say) having a small one is still looked
down upon. All to raise awareness, don’t you know.

NBC’s
Masters of Illusion was a hoot once I figured out it was
supposed to be funny. Owen and whomever his partner is (Sorry!)
made a smooth couple, if you ax me.

Another Hoot Dept: The Queen of England giving her annual
Christmas speech on YouTube.

Iowa caucuses. Don’t say it out loud three times real fast! Anyway,
whatever caucuses are, our top three Democratic contenders appear
to be neck and neck, with Hilary carrying a 2% edge. Very intriguing!


December 24 2007
CBS’s
In God’s Name turned out to be more interesting than
expected. It’s scary what people believe.

You Know You’re Lonely When Dept: you’ve trolled  23 chatrooms
on Christmas Eve and you’re the only one there.

BBC’s
Under the Greenwood Tree movie grabbed my attention with
a host of male eye candy, but kept me watching for the suspense.
Not really. I kept watching for the eye candy . . . while praying for a
bath scene.

I tried again to watch
Duel but frankly, my dear, I don’t give a sssh it
about how beetles outnumber us or other inane factoids. At least the
game show with Drew Carey has questions that tell us what America
thinks about important things. That’s the difference. Sorry, Drew, I
couldn’t remember the name of your show. Email it to me and I’ll give
you a complementary plug!

“Best of 2006/07” S
aturday Night Live was nice because it was the
“best of”. Let’s face it, some of their shows stank. Sssh it happens.
The best makes up for the worst, though, so it’s smooth.


December 21, 2007
Do You Believe it Dept: Bette Midler is taking Celine Dion’s place at
Caesars Palace, with a contract that includes the return of the
Harletts, for 200 shows in 2 years. Break a tail, Miss M.

Who Knew Dept: In the wake of the Jamie Spears shocking news
that she’s preggers, and Mylie’s skyrocket trip to fame out of
nowhere, and the meteoric rise of
High School Musical, no one
seems to be asking the question on everybody’s mind: Who knew
people actually watched those channels (Nick-at-Night, etc.)?

I finally figured out who the Goo Goo Dolls’ lead singer reminds me
of. It’s Chucky! Don’t be offended, man; Chucky was cute as hell.

Why do we like Patti LaBelle? Because she’s as big as she can be.
And that’s a good thing, Martha.

I can’t believe Team LaBelle lost to Team Lachey on
Clash of the
Choirs
. Patti was robbed. By a very cute Nick, I must say. I could
look at him all day, all night.

Tenille, of the Captain-and, is 67 years old and still singing and yes,
bitches, love did keep them together.

Funniest Line Ever Dept: “Let’s spoon. Do you want to be the big
spoon or the small one?” on a Comedy Central rerun of
Scrubs.

A Holiday Celebration at Ford’s Theatre proved to be booring. I
turned the channel after the 40th close-up of George Warmonger
Bush. It was all for the best. I found Patti LaBelle!



December 19, 2007
Patti LaBelle did it! The stage burst into flame when she sang with
her group, on
Clash of the  Choirs, with her trademark style (a lot of
melodic screaming) of a little (drag queen) ballad called “Over the
Rainbow.” I think she and Barbara Streisand are the only living
humans authorized to sing it. And I loved the way country boy Blake
Shelton flirted with Nick Lachey during the judging. So, it’s official,
I’m hooked.

I forgot to tell you about the shoe incident. Ms Thing herself kicked
off her shoes at the end of the song, prompting the following
contestants and stars to do the same. P.U. is all I’ve got to say. You
heard me!

The BBC World News was just herded into Guantanamo with
cameras, believe it or not. Officers there told the newsman they
withhold toilet paper from unruly prisoners, which is as mean as
they supposedly get, although withholding T.P. is just plain
unhealthy not to mention wrong. They also said they currently tube-
feed several inmates who are fasting. I can’t wait ‘til that prison is a
bad memory.

Gotta Luv Her Dept: Amy Winehouse was arrested in London
yesterday, regarding her hubby’s witness-tampering problems (a
whole ‘nuther story), but don’t get excited. They questioned and
released her without charge. Being arrested has a different meaning
in the UK. What, no rehab . . . again?

The
Advocate reports 80% of gays voted in the last midterm
elections. So, being 10% of the population and for the most part
politically unified, we have the potential to wield enormous power.

I was shocked to discover Wal*Mart selling vibrating penis rings.
What’s next? Dildos with smiley faces?

NBC’s Clash of the Choirs was as interesting on Mon as ABC’s
Holiday with the Stars on Sun. I thought Patti LaBelle would save the
show, but I couldn’t watch long enough to find out.

Whoever that blond Bacardi Limon model is on those holiday ads,
please go home because I can’t take the torture of only looking, not
touching. You make my pockets smile. Yeah, you heard me!



December 17, 2007
I’m sorry but one hour of Republican Contender Mitt (?) Romney on
Meet the Press, Sun morning was about 55 minutes too long.

I was gonna say something good about ABC’s Sunday afternoon
Holiday with the Stars, but then I remembered I’d rather forget.

Miley, we know you’re not a real drag queen! The jig is up!

When did Wayne Newton turn Chinese? Do he and Michael Jackson
go out together? Why not?

Hey, Mannilow, Olivia called; she wants her cheeks back! I love ya,
you know that, Barr.

I predict by next year’s end David Beckam will divorce “Posh,”
Britain’s answer to Jessica Simpson. Anyone that gorgeous won’t
be worn out but will surely have a pocketful of smiles leftover! And,
no, I wasn’t talking about Jessy or Posh. You heard me!

I’m So Gay Dept: I fell short of breath when publishers told me they
don’t allow fancy fonts.

“And the winning query excerpt is—“ or Queries that Worked:
“Fearing he may have fingered the wrong man . . .” That one was
mine and yes, it worked, but no, I really didn’t do it on purpose.
The
Happy Campers
was the result, that’s all I know.

Pet Peeves Dept: Websites that say “Pardon our dust. We’re
currently under construction,” and after wasting an hour on the
links, you discover the site hasn’t been updated since 2001.


December 15, 2007
You should have seen
Queer Duck, the Movie last night on Logo’s
Alien Space Camp. It was hilarious. But don’t worry. Logo will repeat
it again . . . and again . . . and again.

Entertainment Tonight says 62-year old Liza Living Legend Minnelli
passed out during her Swedish concert after the fourth song and is
now back in the US getting “treatment.” Take some pain killers, Liza.
We deserve them at our age! You heard me!

As for all the shocking talk about abandoning the t in glbt for gain
today is wrong. There are no shortcuts to freedom, Barney. It’s not a
percentage. GLBT or nada. Anything less is a waste of the gay
conscience. People seem to forget trannies led the first Gay
Revolution in 1969, both in San Francisco and New York City.

Misheard on the five o’clock news during the Oklahoma ice storm:
“He’s taking the homeless pets to his home for kindling.” The
reporter actually said, “ . . . kenneling.” Scared me for a sec.


December 12, 2007
Best Quote Ever Dept: “Volume 23 of anything is not a good sign.”
‘Til Death . . . last night . . . on Fox.

2nd Best Ever Quote Dept: “Oh, please. You were like a dingo in a
baby ward.”
Back to You (that Fox show with Kelsey Grammer and
Raymond’s ex-wife actress) Wed night.

You’d think reporters would let Ike Turner lie in peace and not
chastise him about his abuse of Tina. I mean, the man just died. He’s
not going to hurt anybody, anymore. "Proud Mary" was no fluke, so
give that tortured soul his dew. You heard me!

All bets are on Barak for Iowa. Should make it veeeery interesting. If
it’s neck and neck, could be the gay vote will decide the outcome.
One of the candidates, at least, should come out for gay marriage
and sweep the elections due to her/his courage in this Age of
Republican Hypocrisy. Think about it, Hillary . . . John . . . Barak . . .

Fascinating
BBC World News report following Iraqis around Bagdad.
Apparently, American soldiers are buying cooperation by paying the
citizens cash. No wonder I’m broke, Oprah. They gave my disability
insurance to the Iraqis.

I know it appears the Surge has purged or has it? You can’t have
military brass on every street corner forever.

Those Republican debates showcase just how hodge-podge and
kind-of-weird the GOP has become. I wouldn’t trust any of them to be
inclusive of gays, women, or the poor.

I don’t understand why the media persists in calling Rudi 7/11
Giuliani “pro-gay” when he’s nothing of the sort, having publicly
sided with the Pope, calling a gay sex act a sin. He only appeared
pro-gay as the mayor of NYC because he didn’t dare insult such a
huge segment of his base. Yeah, I said 7/11. Git it? He’s only open
some of the time.

www.PlanetOut.com says Researchers in Chicago have discovered
a gene that identifies homosexuality in fruit flies, which can be
turned on and off with drugs. Where can I get a vial?—of the gene,
not the drug. It’s too late for drugs; they don’t work on me anymore.
Whaaaat?

Barak Obama sported a new do on
Conversations with Carlos
Watson
. I wonder how much it cost. Can’t say I like it parted in the
middle. Maybe it’s a weeee bit short. And I’m fully aware it’s
irrelevant, so calm down.

I tried again to watch
October Road but it’s still too saccharin for me,
which means it’s too sweet for most of America, because my
threshold is fabulous.


December 10, 2007
When I was a child, I charged the neighbor kids five cents a whack
for telling their fortunes. I said the same thing to each of them, in
private—“What you want more than anything else in the world is a
pony.” I can’t believe I was a successful con artist at age seven.

Al Gore picked up his Nobel Peace Prize today. Where’s yours,
George?

CBS News on Logo reports that no less than eight gay men have
come forward (?) to report having had sex with Larry “I am not gay”
Craig.

Gotta love the Beaver Café on Logo’s lesbian sitcom,
Exes & Ohs.

Speaking of proud lesbians, It was nice to see Laurie Metcalf
(
Roseanne) on The Big Bang Theory. She was brilliant!

Jodie Foster is to be commended for coming out of the closet. I’ve
been inspired to write a novella called
The Last Heterosexual on
Earth
, told in first person, present tense. Whaaaat?

McSteamy, a.k.a. Eric Dane, the handsome “blond” on
Grey’s
Anatomy
, showed up on Oprah today. He is fine, isn’t he?
OooooWEeeee!

Criss Angel, 2007 Illusionist of the Year, whatever that is, after
watching him in a black tank on
Oprah, I’ve concluded he’s either the
brother of one of the Goo Goo Dolls or he’s gay as a goose. Yep, you
heard me! He’s too cute to be straight. And somebody needs to tell
him that his hairdresser put some funny highlights in his mop. And
by tank I mean tank-top, not a submarine.

The saddest line ever: “They’re not coming back, you know.”—
A
Home at the End of the World
(2004), Staring Colin Farrell, Robin
Penn, Dallas Roberts

That
Oprah-sponsored TV movie For One More Day dragged on too
slowly. And it was a little too preachy, not to mention clichéd. I mean,
really, a guy who dreamed of making it to the Major Leagues and
then went downhill. Been done too many times already. It’s a
Wonderful Life had more suspense. And either my TV is going out or
they rushed it through editing, as the screen went to black for two
seconds repeatedly throughout the evening. Maybe it was caused
by a fluctuation in the main power grid from the reverberation of
televisions clicking off around the country. Sorry, Oprah. I tried to
like it. I really did.

The strike continues—The screenwriters and producers are still not
getting along, damn it. Somebody needs to write an end to this crisis
or “encore” (rerun) hell will continue. And I’m not sure I can survive
winter without new shows. Have mercy!

The anything but two-big-zerO’s, Oprah and Obama, are drawing
record crowds to their rallies in Iowa, South Carolina, and elsewhere.
I know one thing: I’d be thrilled to have him as president or vice-
president of the country. Of course, I can say the same about Hillary
and John (Edwards). It’s a win, win, win situation. At least there’s no
way America’s going to elect another lying, cheating, warmongering,
hypocritical, homophobic conservative.

December 8, 2007
Those charges against Barry Bonds are unfair. The feds couldn’t
prove he used steroids, so they charged him with lying, the same
thing they did to Martha Stewart and Bill Clinton. Everybody knows
athletes have been taking steroids for decades. You think Arnold’s
muscles are natural? Come on! Be real! The side effects?
Exaggerated, like everything else. Remember
Reefer Madness?

As for the Best Boxer in the World title, Floyd Mayweather (US) and
Ricky Hatton (UK) are busy publicizing their upcoming fight in Las
Vegas. It wasn’t the fact that 6000 British paid to see them weigh in
together in their skivvies that perked me up. It’s the fact it was an
option that made it so delish. You heard me! Don’t you want to yell,
“Get a room!” when they literally get into each other’s face on that TV
promo? Who needs Internet porn when you get “Ebony and Ivory”
for free?

CIA-destroyed 2002 tapes depicting torture in secret prisons  “to
protect our agents” proves the CIA should be subject to oversight.
Funny how the president says he “can’t recall the tapes.”

After watching Oprah’s repeat episode about problems people
develop with gastric bypass surgery, I got from the tone of her voice
that she was trying to convince herself. Comprende?

Fans of gay reporter, Thomas Roberts, whose lips used to drive me
crazy when he anchored the
CNN News in the middle of the night,
can find him working on the
Insider in the middle of the day. I’ve had
a crush on him for years now and he’s still worthy.

Olivia Newton John appeared on
Good Morning America Thurs
morning, looking smooth with her new cheekbones and classic
voice.

According to PlanetOut, AARP just hired gay icon Martina
Narvatilova as their health and
fitness ambassador. Anyone who reads their magazine knows AARP
has been gay friendly for some time. Smooth, huh?

Let’s all hope the Supreme Court rules that prisoners at Guantanamo
Bay deserve fair and ethical treatment like any human being. There
have already been terrible guffaws—innocent people being locked
up for five years and more without even being charged, shamefully
trashing our world reputation. Thank you, George W. Bush. Close
the damned thing down, will ya?


December 5, 2007
Today (Wed) is the date Writers Guild representatives finally re-meet
with TV producers. Good luck, writers! You deserve to be included in
the profits from the Internet; it’s only fair.

ABC’s
Eyewitness News 5 in Tulsa is to be commended for their
coverage of a rally for a more inclusive Oklahoma hate crimes bill,
one that will include gays. They made it their Big Story on the 6:00
and 10:00 broadcasts. Good for them! Good for us! Good for all!
They also had a poll going that was finding between 55 and 65% of
their listeners support the inclusion, a sign that Oklahoma people are
growing more understanding. Yippie Ki Yea!

Boston Legal with a Larry Craig spoof up against The Victoria’s
Secret Fashion Show 2007
with Heidi Klum and Spice Tues night?
Can you not guess which one straight men tuned into? Most gay
men watched
Boston Legal. However, I have to admit I did check in
on Victoria’s girls during commercials, but just to dis the clothes . . .
what I saw looked like a drag queen coronation, over the top with
head-dresses, beads, rhinestones, and wings. But it was a good
thing, Martha!

Does anyone else remember Frederick’s of Hollywood? They had
the market wrapped up on naughty lingerie catalogs way before
Victoria stole the idea. My parents owned a trailer park at the time
and I got to sort the mail. Invariably, the catalogs came to men.

Are Kathy Griffin and I the only ones who can’t stomach
Dr. Phil?
Once in a while he mixes it up, but usually he sets up an abusive
husband and spends an hour berating and humiliating him.

You know you’re old when someone gives you one of those
calculators with great big letters.

If the contestants on
The Great Race were better-looking, I might
watch it for more than five minutes when nothing else good is on.
You heard me!

Did Ya Know Dept: Matthew Rhys, who plays Kevin, the cute gay
lawyer on
Brothers and Sisters, has a Welsh accent in real life . . . and
he’s straight . . . damn it!


December 2, 2007
Apparently, Heather Mills (the ex-Mrs. McCartny) is still crazy after all
these weeks. Graham Norton says Heather is recommending people
drink dog and rat milk. Whaaaat? You heard me!

The Bush administration says the surge in Iraq has worked, so why
don’t we declare victory and get out? It’s the best exit stratagem so
far.

Favorite line from
Torchwood last week: “I can think of a lot more
interesting things to photograph than numbers. Do come again.”

2nd Time Around Dept: I just figured out the previous episode of
Torchwood. Toshika and Captain Jack (the fake one) were in another
dimension within a parallel universe where everyone is bisexual.
Smooth!

Did Ya Know Dept: The
Dr Who shows on BBC are new, not the
ones of yore. And the episodes of
The Graham Norton Show are
current on the BBC, old on Logo. Comprende?

Speaking of the bitch, Graham’s guests last night were John
Schneider, Tom Wopat, and Catherine Bach  of the original
Dukes of
Hazard
. They all look like they have a good surgeon, but I’ll have to
admit John looked the most natural; he’s still got that fresh-faced
smile. Delayshush! Catherine was beautiful in her new plus size; it
suited her.

November 30, 2007
Chalk Up Another Atrocity to Religion: I cannot believe that people in
Sudan are calling for Julian Gibbons’ death because she named a
teddy bear "Mohammed." The fact that they have a law prohibiting
such a thing is even sadder.

According to VH1’s
Best Week Ever Amy Winehouse canceled her
tour. I wonder if she’s going to rehab . . .

Remember the good ol’ days when words like “guarantee and
clinically proven” meant something?

Don’t forget to watch
Desperate Housewives Sunday. They’re
promoting it as the best episode to date.

Did Ya Know Dept: I used to rub elbows with Janis Joplin and her
girl friend at the gay bars in the Northbeach area of San Francisco in
1969. And that, my friend, is the varnished truth. You heard me!

That 16 year old French boy who complained to Dubai police that he
was raped was nearly charged with being homosexual himself—
before the French Embassy intervened. Naturally, the 3 guys that did
it were never charged. It’s still illegal to be gay in many Middle
Eastern countries, even the so-called “modern” ones.

The Screenwriter’s Guild members are going back to the negotiating
table come Tuesday. I hope they get what they want . . . fast. We’re
just about out of new TV episodes and I’m tired of all the “vintage”
talk show repeats already. Come on, guys, work it out! I hope you hit
the jackpot.

The students in Venezuela are rioting both for and against Chavez,
their first elected Marxist President, who recently suspended the
renewal of an opposing TV station's licence. Chavez also continues
to harrass and intimidate newspaper reporters who are against
proposed changes to the constitution that will remove presidential
term limits. And all this time, I thought he was good for Venezuela.
Interesting and scary.

Did Ya Know Dept: Bowie’s first wife once caught Bowie and Mick
Jagger in bed together, even citing it in court when she divorced
him?

Elton John said on
My Night at the Grammies (a primetime special on
CBS Friday) that Emenem, the rapper, had his manager ask Elton to
do that infamous duet, not the other way around like we all thought. I’
m proud to say I thought Elton did the right thing when it happened
(the late 90s?). Did I ever tell you about my date with Elton John in
1972? EEEEEEEmail me if you want to know more. I might be
coaxed.

Don’t forget to watch the
Torchwood season finale Saturday, 8 pm,
on BBC. I hear it’s a scorcher! After last week’s m/m kiss, I’m up for it,
if ya know what I mean. Whaaaat?

Kenny Rogers appeared on
Oprah today looking almost normal after
his facelift had him stretched too tightly in the beginning—it was talk
show fodder for at least a week last year.

That guy in Rochester NH with a “history of mental problems” who
threatened Hillary’s campaigners with what he said was a bomb
scared me at first. I thought he might be one of my exes and no, I’m
not saying which one, thank you, Eddie.

Favorite lines from
30 Rock Thurs. night: “Where’d you two meet?
Amber Alert?” and “You can’t be gay for just one person . . . unless it’
s a lady . . . and her name is Emma.” The whole show was hilarious.

CBS News on Logo reports that an estimated 22 million have died
from AIDS worldwide. They also said people with the disease are still
denied entry into the United States.

I usually don’t care for
Sarah Silverman’s bathroom humor, but last
night’s show on the Comedy channel was a riot! She was in black
face and she thought people were being mean to her because of her
“African-American disguise.”


November 29, 2007
I tried to watch
Bionic Woman and Chuck Wednesday night but was
bored stiff both times.

I must say I was surprised and disappointed when singer/AIDS
activist Annie Lennox revealed she is not gay while hosting
NewNowNext videos on Logo. No word if she’s gay when not
hosting.

David Letterman, if you’re listening, I’d like to be your Gay Okie
correspondent. My first “live” broadcast would come from the
boondocks in front of the sign next to our own Long George Creek.
Of course, I’d be packing binoculars. The second show would
originate from the world-renowned Henryetta House of Overalls.
Naturally, I would be dressed appropriately but naked underneath. I
could also feed you live video from my webcam, in case you’re too
cheap to spring for real cameras. If you want to use my material,
make sure the check is in the mail first. Oh, and please tell Oprah
hello. Sincerely, Gale Chester Whittington, Gay Author: A Legend in
my Own Grind.   PS I wouldn’t tell the Writers Guild you read this,
were I you. Thanks.

A friend of mine who works at a bar says he wants his tombstone to
say, “He died wanking off; he was so good at it!” because then
people will say, “He must’ve been a master waiter. “

Note to self: Use master gator in a joke.

Did Ya Git it Dept: The good news is
CBS News on Logo is now one-
half hour of news instead of five minutes of news; the bad news is
the news is only updated once a week even though the news is
repeated daily. Whaaaat?

Religion is wishful thinking and that’s all.

Unvarnished truth rots; it’s best to varnish.

It Must’ve Been Good Stuff Dept: When you accidentally figure out
the BIO channel is about people, not critters.

That Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency show on the Oxygen
network is hot! They give us a whole hour of well-built guys running
around in skimpy undershorts. Smooth! Smooth and delayshush!


November 27, 2007
Talk about bi-curious—I’m officially hooked on
Torchwood. Sat.
night’s episode was hot, hot, hot! That m/m kiss between two leading
men (both Captains) was almost as good as the hand-holding!
Whaaaat? Ya schnooooze, Ya Lose! They can rerun that episode
everyday for a week (You know they will) and I’ll watch it over and
over. Really. It was that good! So smooth! It’s about time bisexuals
got their dew. Whaaaaat? You heard me!

Did Ya Git it Dept: Last night, Richard Chamberlain played a man on
Desperate Houseswives who comes out, just like Richard did
recently.  Smooth!

I stopped watching
Entertainment Tonight because they run the
same stories daily for at least a week. I mean, how many times can
you watch Marie Osmond faint?

It’s Just Wrong Dept:
BBC World News says at least eighteen people
have died after being tazered by police within the last five years.

November 24, 2007
The
BBC World News also reports that, at least for now, a “secret
Washington organization” will continue to control the Internet. My
guess is it’s the CIA.

You Know It’s Good Stuff When: by the time you get everything
ready to write on your blog, you’ve forgotten what you were going to
say.

Deal or No Deal would be more PC and interesting for gay men and
straight women if half the models were male. Maybe a spin-off?

Does anyone else wonder who the hell is the female judge, Mary
Murphy, on
So You Think You Can Dance? I’ve never heard of her.
Now she’s pushing that stupid “Core Rhythms” CD on a very
obnoxious commercial. And why has she stolen Little Richard's
trademark squeal?

I have to say it: Bear Grylls on
Man vs. Wild of the Discovery channel
turns me on. I live for the times he washes his clothes (and gets half
nekkid). I’d love to tell him, “Shut up and kiss me!”

There Is a God Dept:
Good Morning America says tight jeans for men
are returning. Now if we could get them to bring back the old
basketball shorts.

That’s Just Wrong Dept:
People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive is
Matt Damon? What about Mario Lopez?

Ugly Betty is campy if predictable. I guess that’s the point. This
week’s favorite line from one of the women: “I knew Faye Summers. I
once made out with Faye Summers. You, my friend, are no Faye
Summers.” But the line, “Pink is the new green,” didn’t work for me.
The only good pink is hot pink. Anything less is for punks.

You Know It’s Good Stuff When:
Ugly Betty is better than Dancing
With the Stars.

This season’s October Road on ABC was so sentimental I feared I
was going to catch diabetes.

You Know You’re a Nerd When:
Ugly Betty & Dancing
With the Stars
are your favorite programs.

The growing crisis in Lebanon is receiving a lot more concern in
Europe. How many more Middle Eastern countries will suspend
elections before democracy goes the way of the dinosaur?

You Know You’re Old When: feeding your tropical fish wears you out.

That new Marilyn Monroe bio running on the History channel pisses
me off. They claim she was severely mentally ill. I don’t know about
you but I prefer my stars ethereal. As the world’s first self-appointed
spokesmodel for the mentally ill, I’d like to say, “I object.”

What? Dicko? On
The Next Great American Band one of the judges
name is Dicko. What?

Did You Know Dept: Planet Out reports “Over two dozen American
universities now offer full-fledged minors in LGBT Studies.

It’s Just Wrong Dept: NBC keeps running a blurb at the end of their
various shows saying, “Stay tuned for more, but all that comes on
after the long-ass ads are the credits.

Does anyone remember Herb Caen from the
SF Chronicle? I’d love
to have a witty column like he had. The man was a legend in his own
time, at least in San Francisco. And that’s something a writer like me
prays for. Naturally, my psychiatrist says I may be suffering from
Delusions of Grandeur. Well, I could use more rubies on my crown....
I did used to send him humorous anecdotes from the gay picket
lines that he actually printed. He sent me thank you cards each time.
Smooth, huh?

Saw the new rock band Queen on PBS Fri night. They were okay,
just not the same without gay icon Freddie Mercury, I’m sorry to say.

I finally watched FX’s
Nip/Tuck ‘cause Rosie O’Donnell was on it. A
pretty wild show for basic cable. It was the first time I've heard the
word “p---y” on regular TV. Crazy show but I was mesmerized!

Subscribing to Starz on DirectTV has taught me Hollywood makes a
lot of mediocre movies.


November 22, 2007
I'm So Gay Dept: My pubes have highlights!

Sunday's
VMAs were dreadfully ho-hum but for that clear, sultry,
gospelly vocal by Queen Latifa.

BBC World News reports there are over 7000 new cases of HIV every
day.

Those 41 million dollar Armani underwear ads David Beckham
signed up for  are set to air in January. Can you guess what I'll be
Googling?

I am so over Rascal Flats. That duet they did with Jamie Fox on the
CMAs sucked big time. I used to like them but lately all their songs
sound the same.

Duran Duran is getting old . . . I should talk; I'll be 60 early next year.

Two celebrities I'd like to see less of: Avril Levine, Mylie Cyrus, and
the latter's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. He used to be cute but that hair
looks like a mop that needs a new head!
