R.I.P. - Naya Rivera

While I was never a Glee fan (I think I watched it 5 times during it's entire run) that does not mean the unexpected passing of one of it's cast members can not sadden me. Especially when that person was a mere 33 years old.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Naya Rivera she was beautiful and talented. I sincerely hope her family and her son are holding up. I wish them all the best.

As many of you know Naya was BFF's with her co-star Heather Morris. Naya's character Santana Lopez was groundbreaking in the fact that she came out as a Lesbian who romanced Heather's character Brittany S. Pierce on Glee.

While any gay storyline is a bold move this one had the added facet of Naya being Latina. Making her TV's first and most visible Latina Lesbian. Naya was as bold as her talent.

I am going to leave you with Naya as Santana professing her feelings for Heather as Brittany singing a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song Songbird from the album Rumors. In honor of their friendship and Naya's spirit.

Communication is weighing heavily on my mind of late, especially in relation to Doctors. Seriously why are they so vague with me, the patient when I have not one clue as to what is going down?

Michael Shinafelt

Many of my friends who are fans of the show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have posed this question to me since episode one: "Why is Denise Richards on the show?" 

Then a along came Penis-gate, and her giving zero F#cks attitude about her wedding to Aaron Phypers. That's correct minions Denise is on the show to make the rest of the women look trivial and annoying IMHO. Denise is there to teach them, not to mention the rest of us, life is too short to accentuate the negative have fun and let the good times roll! So, what are we waiting for, time to roll and rock...!!!

Life is a parade of absurdities and pain, and then we die, alone, in filth. So, yes, little girl I shall buy a box of Thin Mints.

Cyndi Lauper & Friends

Let's get charitable...

Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund (www.truecolorsfund.org) announced the lineup for its 6th annual “Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays” benefit concert on Saturday, December 3 at New York City’s historic Beacon Theatre to raise awareness about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth homelessness. 100 percent of the net proceeds from the concert will support the True Colors Fund’s programs.

Cyndi Lauper will be joined on stage this year by Aloe Blacc, Ballets with a Twist, Big Thief, Billy Corgan, Grace VanderWaal, Judy Gold, Kate Bornstein, Maya Jupiter, Oxymorrons, Sara Ramirez, Sharon Van Etten, Theresa Caputo, Tyler Glenn, and host Carson Kressley. Additional guests will be announced soon. Tickets are available to the general public at Ticketmaster.com.

“For the sixth year, ‘Home for the Holidays’ will bring together an incredible group of performers to support the True Colors Fund’s work to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth," said Lauper, the organization’s co-founder. “Our voices are stronger when we say something together. I’m so grateful to the artists, who are donating their time and talent to bring attention to this very important cause.”

In America, up to 40 percent of the 1.6 million youth that are homeless each year identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Yet, less than seven percent of the general youth population is LGBT. The most cited reason for this disproportionate rate is family rejection due to the young person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, the True Colors Fund works nationally to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth. Through a broad continuum of public engagement, public policy, youth collaboration, research, and community organizing programs, the True Colors Fund is creating a world in which young people can be their true selves.

Some highlights of the True Colors Fund’s work this year include:
 

• Hosting the second annual #40toNoneDay, a national day to raise awareness about LGBT youth homelessness, which reached over 98 million people online.
• Partnering with The White House to conduct a Policy Briefing on Youth Homelessness to help prioritize the needs of youth experiencing homelessness within the Federal Government.
• Launching the National Youth Forum on Homelessness, a youth-led project focused on ending youth homelessness in America, in partnership with the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
• Releasing At the Intersections, the most comprehensive resource on LGBT youth homelessness, in partnership with the National LGBTQ Task Force.
• Holding the third annual sold out 40 to None Summit, the only national annual gathering focused on innovative solutions to end LGBT youth homelessness in America.
• Training it's second class of True Fellows, young LGBT leaders with experiences of homelessness, who conduct six-month service projects in their communities.
• Releasing its second annual 40 of the 40 list, which highlights 40 LGBT young people who have experiences with homelessness and provides them with opportunities to engage in the organization’s work.
• Providing free tools, resources, and training through its 40 to None Network for service providers and communities around the country to aid them in providing safe, inclusive, and welcoming support to LGBT youth experiencing homelessness.

“Home for the Holidays” is proud to have the support of: Platinum Sponsors Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Van Gogh Vodka; Gold Sponsors The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. and Jujamcyn Theaters; Silver Sponsors Kinky Boots, The Madison Square Garden Company, Masie Productions, Reveal, Stifel, and Keith Bell, Licensed Acupuncturist.

Eat Me! I'm A Lesbian Taco!

Well find out tomorrow, Friday August 12th when the raunchy comedy Sausage Party opens - The story of food items who think that being bought by humans will lead them to a world of paradise, not devoured. 

In it Salma Hayek plays a woman loving other women taco named Teresa who has the hot sauce for a hot dog bun played by Kristin Wiig.

Party Like A Lesbian With Lady Gaga

The Ladies Who Party
Lady Gaga & Friends

Lady Gaga took some time off from Taylor Kinney to indulge her sapphic side. She is an admitted bi-sexual after all and headed West to Palm Springs, CA for the Club Skirts pool party during Dinah Shore Weekend. I am sure about half of the women attending do not even know who Dinah Shore was at this point and juncture, but hey, any excuse to party, riiiiiiiiiight?! 

Gaga hung out and mingled where the girls are and paid a visit to Lindsay Lohan's ex Samantha Ronson who was the pool party DJ. From the photo above it's looks like a good time! I'm thinking I should attend next year...oh right no men allowed. Does this mean you have to check any strap-on's at the door too?

Happy Monday and have a terrific week!

PS Why the Fuck was sapphic spell checked and there was no word suggestions to replace it, that were remotely like it? Fuck never gets flagged as misspelled anymore and sapphic does? Just sayin'...

Kiss Me Kate

Kate Pierson & Monica Coleman

"The Love Shack is a little old place where, We can get together" - Love Shack, B-52's

Congratulations go out today to Kate Pierson of the B-52's on getting married to her longtime girlfriend Monica Coleman over the weekend in Hawaii! They have been together since 2003.

The B-52's are one of my favorite groups. I remember attending the CD release party for Cosmic Thing at the now defunct club Probe in Los Angeles, CA.

It was an exciting evening and the crowd was treated to a live performance by the group who arrived to the party in style on a Cadillac Convertible.

Pierson addressed accepting herself to Spin in it's February 2015 issue:

"All our friends — so many friends are gay or lesbian and transgender. We’re just in that world. We all went through the devastating time of the AIDS crisis and I think that galvanized us to be more activists — AIDS activists. I think through that struggle we’ve tried to do a lot of benefits and stuff. I think the meaning of ‘gay' became more solidified," she told the mag. "One of the things the B-52s wanted to accomplish was for people to embrace their difference and encourage people to be who they are and accept themselves."

Is Megan Fox A Vampire Lesbian?

Bloody Megan Fox & Bald James Franco

While surfing the Internet I stumbled upon this, quite eye catching photo of Megan Fox with her Director/Co-Star James Franco getting into character on the set of her upcoming film Zeroville.

It didn't hurt that this image courtesy of Franco's Instagram was captioned "Vampyros Lesbos" and features Fox and another actress covered in blood and James sandwiched between them.

Yes a few of my favorite things vampires, blood, James Franco & Megan Fox all in one on set photo, I'm so in!

Franco enthusiastically fawned over his co-star by stating: "Megan Foxy is the best!"

Zeroville is based off of Steve Erickson's 2007 novel by the same name, which follows the story of a young actor arriving in Hollywood in 1969 "during a transitional time in the industry." The film also stars Franco's younger brother Dave Franco, and his partner in bromance Seth Rogan.

Color me intrigued...

Sh!t Faith Says...!

Faith Choyce

A long time ago in a town known as Los Angeles, CA I went to a comedy show, yeah don't get too excited it doesn't happen that often, that a friend of mine was performing in.

Well what to my wandering eyes did appear but a comedian named Faith Choyce, but damn! Where were the reindeer?!

Faith was the best thing on the bill and I have kept in contact with her ever since. She makes me laugh everyday with her Facebook and Twitter posts, so to entertain and amuse you here is some "Sh!t Faith Says" you have no Choyce!

1) There are some things you should never say out loud to another person, like "I make my own snuff films" or "I don't like chocolate".

2) Hey hipsters! Here's a free baby name for you: Chi-chi, except it's pronounced "Shy Shy". It's glittery, ambiguous, & from the streets.

3) Most male strippers are just paying their way though fireman school.

4) Bacon is like sex; it makes everything more awesome and if you don't like it, it's only because your religion makes you feel weird about it.

5) A great way to not take responsibility for your actions is to scream "I need my insulin!!!" everytime you do something crazy.

6) "Soooo, how's the comedy thing going?" -Horrible question to ask a person in stirrups. #DoctorsWithoutBordersOrBoundaries

7) If Justin Bieber had any fans with upper body strength he'd seriously be able to take over the world.

8) Whoever said "You can't have your cake and eat it too", CLEARLY doesn't understand how cake works.

9) Guys always talk about how they wish they could blow themselves but never mention whether they'd spit or swallow. #AllTalkNoWalk

10) Okay, ladies of the internet, keep pretending that "fiery and passionate" doesn't just mean you're kind of a crazy biznatch.

11) AWESOME GROUPON GUYS, HALF A LIFETIME OF THERAPY FOR ONLY 6 YEARS OF CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. #SharingIsCaring

12) If you think you're young now just remember that in a few years you'll hit on someone who thinks it's really weird you were born in the 1900s.

13) Somewhere, there is an adult working in clear heels whose parents named her Candida. On purpose.

14) When a lesbian runs into an ex and realizes she forgot her name, it's called clamnesia.

15) I had a dream that Shawn was secretly always trying to bang Topanga then my whole childhood came crashing down around me.

Ellen Degeneres Goes Lesbian For NBC

Elisha Cuthbert

Sixteen years after Ellen Degeneres came out on Ellen another network comedy with a lesbian lead is coming to primetime. 

NBC has given a pilot order to a multi-camera comedy executive produced by DeGeneres. 

The project, titled One Big Happy, is written/exec produced by openly gay comedy scribe Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls). 

In it, a gay (woman) and straight (man) best friends decide to have a baby together, but things get complicated when the man finds the love of their life. 

Um, I was going to say "Holy Will & Grace" but this sounds a whole lot more interesting and progressive. 

Elisha Cuthbert from the classic show 24 and the awful remake of House of Wax (sorry Elisha I like you but, damn, really?!) is set to star in the pilot.

Can  I get a hey now?!

Keep up with Ellen at: http://www.ellentv.com/

Desperately Seeking: Avril Lavigne

Cover Art For Avril's Upcoming Album

It's been a couple of years since Ms. Avril Lavigne has put out any new music, well she's back with a new album due out this fall and she allegedly has wrote and recorded enough new songs to put out another album shortly after, when the grrrrrrrrl werks, she werks!

Up first and now is her single "Rock N Roll" - with a video that is so out there and self indulgent it can only belong to Avril, and I mean that as a compliment, hey isn't that one of the reasons the people who like her, like her?

Actually there is a source for the madness this video draws on, a movie called 'Tank Girl" starring a then known Lorie Petty as "Tank Girl" and a then unknown Naomi Watts as "Jet Girl", yes, time to cue the lesbian subtext. They battled strange/off the wall other worldly creatures in a Mad Max like desert type universe.

The video starts with Lavigne declaring she is a MotherF#cking Princess and proceeds to see her battling bear sharks, knife wielding lobsters and a villain with a head like fly, check. Everything takes place in a Mad Max desert like setting, check. Also the MotherF#cking Princess locks lips with actress Danica McKellar, what would Winnie Cooper think?! Lesbian subtext, check.

Avril Battles the Bear Shark!

Oh and Billy Zane is thrown in for good measure. T.G.I.F! Check out this loopy video that I can't get enough of and enjoy your weekend!
