I'm finally updating my profile...yay! I finished my creative writing MFA in December 2008 and since then I've hardly written at all. Ironic? Sad? Yeah. So now I work for a higher ed association doing marketing and communications and I paint as a hobby/self-torture device. I'll let you know when I become a legitimate artist (i.e., a commodity). :-) Uh, don't hold your breath.
I'm not perfect, but I'm at least as interesting as your last boyfriend. The only thing I have in common with Abercrombie models and customers is that I'm G-A-Y.
Listen to me tenuously ask my hero Tori Amos a question...and then she dedicates a song to me. :-)

Ronnie Kroell's Naked Playgirl Pics Are Out (6/15/10) [View | Hide]
Remember Ronnie from Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel"?
Or maybe you forgot him but suddenly remembered after all the hype about his decision to pose for Playgirl...

Brilliant Betty White Made the Best of SNL (5/9/10) [View | Hide]
Betty White is infallible. Case closed.
Her appearance on Saturday Night Live last night was truly revelatory--of better and worse. Let's start with the better.
That, of course, is Betty! The 88-and-a-half year-old--as she was scripted to announce a few too many times last night--is a marvel. Despite the return of many of SNL's best comic actresses (Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Ana Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, and Maya Rudolph), Betty outshone everyone in the cast...and it's clear the other actors weren't just letting the feeble old lady win. They were trying.
But to no avail. Betty White kicked (!), rattled off obscenities, and poked fun at her age tirelessly...until it became tired. But that's not her fault.
Here we come to the "worse" part: SNL itself. Everyone knows that the writers work at a break-neck pace, and this show must have been even more difficult than usual, given that the production was working with a much older star who probably has some reduced stamina (although it was not evident last night--let's hope Betty wasn't shot up with amphetamines or anything for the sake of the show!) and the necessity of bringing back the favorite creations of the great SNL ladies above--such as Shannon and Gasteyer's NPR ladies (Betty's dusty old muffin stole it!).
But even with those constraints, why did the show have to be so one-note? Betty White isn't just older, she's pretty damn old at 88. OK, we get it. Ha-ha. Let's move on. Although Betty was creepy-funny in those God-awful MacGruber episodes (Does ANYBODY really like that dreck? Every time one of those things come on, I usually change the channel.), that time could have been used for something better. Even the skits that weren't really about her old age--like the funny-at-first "lesbian" one below--really were about her old age, the real joke being, ha-ha, the old lady is the only one willing to say 'lesbian'!
Like what?
How about a Golden Girls revival? Imagine an even older, vulgar, cynical Rose. Or imagine Betty White as Blanche, who she originally tried to be cast as? And imagine the rest of the cast: Rachel Dratch as Sophia! Ana Gasteyer as Dorothy! Tina Fey as Rose! (The least unlikely, but that could make it the most interesting.)
Or what about a parody of The View? I can't imagine anything in this life that would be better than watching Betty White do a merciless portrayal of Barbara Walters. Her age would be an implicit joke, suggesting a much older Barbara Walters, but the skit wouldn't be dependent on that. And you know Betty would have done it.
The one thing the show did reveal--which we probably suspected already, given the world's love for the actress--is that Betty White will do just about anything for a laugh. So why no PETA skit for the notorious animal lover? Why not something, anything but another old lady joke?
The videos below reveal that Betty White is her very own self-made phenomenon. She's one of the rare living legends who lives up to the legend. It's just such a shame that this once-in-a-lifetime SNL hosting gig had to be all about her age rather than her brilliance as a comic actress. Betty is better than last night's show. But, really, wasn't that inevitable?
You knew Betty White is funny. But did you know she could sing?
Long live Betty White. May she forever be better than her material.
My New Sarah McLachlan Interview! (5/8/10) [View | Hide]
I've been really under the weather for a couple of months, so I've hardly written anything here. I just don't have the energy. But with my medical mysteries still unresolved, maybe this is a good time to start looking at my bucket list.
Everyone's talking about their bucket lists these days, so here's one more check mark on mine! I have interviewed a few of my favorites--Tori Amos, Jewel, even Kathy Griffin--but a few have remained unreachable thus far...Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan, and Gaga to name a few. But wait! One of those is coming off the list!
I just interviewed Sarah McLachlan, one of my very favorite musicians! She was exactly as expected--gracious, forthright, and smart. We discussed her upcoming album, The Laws of Illusion (that's the beautiful cover artwork above), her new single, "Loving You is Easy" (video below), and Lilith Fair.
I also had the opportunity to talk with one of Sarah's three Lilith Fair partners, Terry McBride, who is a major force in the music industry, as president of Nettwerk Music Group. He revealed exciting--and very ambitious--plans for Lilith Fair, including the establishment of a new charity program called i4c.
The interview is up at Advocate.com. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Sarah Palin To Launch Her Own TV Network (4/11/10) [View | Hide]
Yes, it's true! Watch the announcement below.
OK, it's not true. But it's funny.
Oh, for the record, the brilliant Photoshop work featured above is not my doing. It's from a blog called "The Sarah Palin Information Network." Turns out Palin's fans are just as good with the new-fangled computer technology as they are with, uh, not getting pregnant.
We know Oprah had Lady Gaga on her show, and most of what Oprah features on her show is what Oprah loves.
(Oprah loves Oprah! We know it; we love it. Most of the time.)
But Oprah makes a huge revelation in the 10th anniversary issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. In it, Oprah is interviewed by a handful of women fans, plus GAAAAAAYYYYYYLE KIIIIIIIIIIING! [Gayle is so important, she must be introduced in Oprah Voice.] Here's a bit of the interview:
Gayle: Who's your favorite musician on your iPod right now?
Oprah: Gaga.
Fan: If you could sing any karaoke song, would it be Lady Gaga?
Oprah: It would definitely be a Tina Turner song. Because if I can see myself as anybody, I can't be Gaga but I can be Tina.
First of all, with all due respect to The Mighty Oprah, it's impressive that someone of her age (56) can stomach the image of Lady Gaga, much less actually like her music, which--let's face it--even if you're older and appreciate Gaga's creative styling, her kind of electropop is unlikely to appeal to people of a certain age.
Big points to Oprah!
The Day The Lights Went Out In Georgia (4/11/10) [View | Hide]
I am aware that to most people, the idea of a sitcom character serving as a mentor and a beacon of hope is a pretty ridiculous thought.
But then came Julia Sugarbaker.
"Designing Women" aired from 1986 through 1993--in my life, that took me from elementary school through high school. (I graduated in 1996.) Who cares? Probably no one.
But as a gay adolescent, the sensibility of this show resonated with me: Delta Burke's Suzanne Sugarbaker was ridiculous and endearing, Jean Smart's Charlene was the South's answer to Rose Nylund from "Golden Girls," and Annie Pott's Mary Jo was...well, she was kinda boring, actually.
And then there was Julia. This is one of the most strongly written characters in the history of television, but regardless, most of the credit for Julia Sugarbaker should go to Dixie Carter. She regularly turned monologues that, if we saw them written on the page, would be ridiculously superficial, into pillars of strength in their own right. And despite her usually heroic rhetoric within the simple little show plots, Julia Sugarbaker was the one character who was so real that she transcended mere entertainment. My mother, for example, could not stand to watch her; she thought Julia Sugarbaker (and, therefore, Dixie Carter) was a holier-than-thou wealthy Southern heiress--and my mother and I used to argue regularly about Julia's relative good-vs-superficial nature. Those arguments at the time were a way in which I communicated to my mother--my closest ally in life--how important it was becoming to me to see people stand up for who they are, even when others simply cannot relate. And I always knew that my interest in "Designing Women," my love of Suzanne Sugarbaker's antics with her pet pig Noel, and my respect for the way Julia battled with Suzanne but also served as her guardian, spoke volumes to my family about my own developing nature as a gay man.
It may seem overblown, but it's true. And the show "Designing Women" would have been nothing without its anchor, Julia, in whose domain almost every episode took place. And who can imagine anyone but Dixie Carter in the role of Julia Sugarbaker?
Dixie Carter died yesterday. Take a look at some of her scenes and pay special attention to how important her performance of the funny, but straightforward, words was to the creation and development of Julia Sugarbaker. She added a huge helping of aggression and a healthy dash of comic insanity, and in the proecess made Julia a very real person.
Tori Amos & Cyndi Lauper Duet: No Joke! (3/20/10) [View | Hide]
It's called "Why Don't You Love Me?"
What do you think??
As one would expect from these two geniuses, there's a lot more to the song than meets the ears. It is, er, an imagined duet between Estrella and Imelda Marcos. Uh huh. That's what it is.
I first went to New York in 2000 for what was called an "Alternative Spring Break." For one college credit, I spent ten days living in a hostel called Jazz on the Park and volunteering with various AIDS-related programs all over the city, including GMHC, LifeBeat, and two of the most life-affecting things I've ever encountered, Housing Works and the Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center, a needle exchange for IV drug addicts.
Besides being one of the few actually important things I've ever done with my life, the trip showed me New York City, which quenched my spirit's hunger for a veritable jungle of towers and lights. It was so big that it makes my home city of Washington, D.C. feel like a small town (it actually kind of is, except without the whole community thing), and its residents' artistic interests and talents are simply unheard of here in D.C., where people's egos rival those found in NYC, but who care absolutely nothing about substance which--I always thought--was not the case in New York.
I've held onto this idealized sense of New York in my mind. I've always wanted to live there, but have never had an opportunity. Without an opportunity, I've always felt too financially insecure to simply pick up and move there with no prospects, which, of course, all of the great New York successes claim to have done.
But I am a sometimes painter and sometimes writer and, to date, neither of these endeavors has gotten me very far. I've established a couple of wispy roots, but these roots are not anchored very deeply for either endeavor, and now I am convinced that they would not be even if I were in New York, a city that I always thought was a haven for creative minds.
I finally know better. What a moron.
My favorite magazine is New York, the pop-culture rival (by the same publisher) of the high-minded magazine The New Yorker. I love its sensibility, and I love its better-than-average analyses of popular entertainment. A recent story on Rupert Murdoch was incredibly compelling.
But that story helped me to realize what I probably already knew: To be anything in New York, really, you have to be something like Murdoch. The first few pages of New York are the society pages, which quote and feature photos of the "power people"--those pretty waifs and their pasty-saggy billionaire husbands, and the token Broadway and music biz gays. That's up front because that's what matters in New York.
Further evidence is found on what may disturbingly be two of the most real of reality shows--disturbing because they feature unwatchably disgusting individuals who are actually coveted acquaintances in New York. The first of these shows is Bravo's atrocious "NYC Prep," which not only featured repugnant young people who will (God willing) die of overdoses if they can't keep their pictures in the likes of New York. The second, and worse, if only because it is actually slightly compelling, is The CW's "High Society."
Where to begin with "High Society"? According to the network, "HIGH SOCIETY follows Tinsley Mortimer, New York's most talked-about 'Park Avenue Princess,' as she and her circle of often-controversial friends circulate through New York's most prestigious black-tie affairs, outrageous parties and fashion exclusives, with never-before-seen access from behind the velvet rope."
But the reason people will watch (let's hope they don't) is her so-called "controversial friends," who include a young woman who claims in the first episode that she cannot stand being around homosexuals and people of color (she thinks the word "nigger" should be used more liberally) and her apparent arch-rival, the sadly desperate and unfunny gay sidekick friend, who boasts of being featured in Page 6 because of his bow ties, theft, and repeated overdoses. His mother gives him $25,000 in the first episode, which he spends on everything that is New York High Society. He wanted $50,000.
I could go on and on about how these real-life "Gossip Girl" characters (oh yeah, there's that show, too) are bad for adolescents, etc., but that's really not my point. My point is: I No Longer Heart New York. These peeks into the lives of the power people of NYC just make me think it's D.C. without the substance, and that's saying a lot. At this point, Hollywood seems like the least of the three evils, if only because of its usually beautiful weather.
This rant was brought to you by my hate for Gossip Girls, prep school kids, and all the world's Trumps, Hiltons, Stewarts, and other gilded gutter filth that goes by different names.
Gay Music Video Hits #1 On MTV!!! (3/13/10) [View | Hide]
Uh-mazing.
I just cannot believe how much the world has changed since I graduated from high school in 1996. I lived in fear every day back then, trying to avoid going to school (which I successfully did 35-45 days a year) for fear or being beaten or shamed to death because of my sexuality. Now, we have shows like "Glee" and (the nearly departed) "Ugly Betty," which include openly gay young characters.
But nothing is as reflective of a cultural landscape as popular music and--in particular--music videos.
So it is astounding that a gay-themed music video by a Guyanese-born, Trinidad-raised (i.e., black) artist just hit number one on the MTV music video charts.
Behold, the appropriately titled video, "Love," by Nhojj.

Brittany Murphy: In Memoriam (12/20/09) [View | Hide]
Today's news about Brittany Murphy hit hard.
Tabloid gossips like the vicious Perez Hilton (who has already begun attacking Murphy's memory) have been quite cruel to the young woman over recent years, due to purported drug abuse, eating disorders and other problems.
Now she is gone.
Brittany Murphy was a talented young actress. I remember the single-season sitcom "The Torkelsons" and its spin-off "Almost Home" only because of Murphy, and I instantly recognized her from the show when I saw her in her most memorable role in Clueless years later.
Although Angelina Jolie got all the credit for the so-so movie Girl, Interrupted, Brittany Murphy gave the film all of its emotional resonance. It's tragic that Murphy never found a solid place as the scene-stealing character actress of her time, but of course that tragedy does not compare with that of her death.
I don't know anything about her personal problems, but I hope that people will let her memory rest and leave her family alone.
In her memory:
Almost Home, 1993
Clueless, 1996
Girl, Interrupted, 1999
Class Action Lawsuit Against Tiger Woods (11/30/09) [View | Hide]
I have had it. I have summoned the spirit of the Great Johnnie Cochran and filed a class action lawsuit against the toxic sludge of a human being who calls himself Tiger Woods.
We are no longer fooled by your cartoon-cute name, Mr. Woods. The secret is out. You are a vile, horrible human being.
Just because are are richer than God and almost as rich as Oprah, you think that you have a right to...to what? Privacy? Is that it? After what you have done?
I don't know when I have been more hurt, felt more violated, than I did when I read this preposterous claim that you take responsibility for the devastation you have caused. This country is still healing from September 11 and Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Woods, and you go and RUN INTO A TREE.
A tree!
I am brought to tears just running through the events in my mind.
Your pleas will get you nowhere. You will be held responsible for this atrocious act of treason.
What about THE CHILDREN, Mr. Woods? Did you even think about THE CHILDREN before you hopped in your car and sent shock waves across the globe with...with...no, I can't even bring myself to write the words again.
A new circle of hell just opened up--the Tiger Circle--whose lashing flames will only speed Earth's global warming. We are all going to die a scorching death because of Mr. Woods's reckless behavior.
Don't just sit by idly and let this man continue to destroy our world. Join me in this class action suit. Together, we can make Mr. Woods atone for his sick, sick ways.

New Gaga iPhone Karaoke App: Record Your Music & Share With Others! (11/12/09) [View | Hide]
Lady Gaga has partnered with a company called iOKi to create a new exclusive iPhone app that will let you sing along with, record, and share your versions of her music with other people!
And, according to TechCrunch, it's actually a great app! (We'll believe it when we hear it.)
Using the app is pretty straightforward: you choose a song, and the app launches into its viewing mode, where the lyrics pop up on your iPhone screen just as they would on more tradional karaoke machines. Depending on your setup, you can have the backing music and vocals come from either your phone’s headphone jack or its built-in speaker (your vocals can go in through either your headphone’s built-in microphone or the phone mic). The interface is easy enough to figure out within a few seconds, though I think it looks a bit bland given the iPhone’s penchant for glossy things. Once you’ve recorded a song, the app will present you with a link that you can use to share your recording across the web.
The app launches in the iTunes and App Stores on November 23, the same day as the release of Gaga's much-anticipated Fame Monster album.
We love Gaga, but we are incredulous about one thing. At her recent concert at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., she asked the audience, "What is the one thing I hate more than anything in the world?"
The audience was dumbfounded.
Gaga roared: "MONEY!" And then she sang "Money, Honey."
For someone who allegedly hates money (she has said that she spent all of her money to pay for her Fame Ball tour), she she does a lot of cross-marketing. Surely she makes money off of her songwriting for Michael Bolton, Adam Lambert and others, not to mention Gaga-themed merchandise, TV appearances and now...a Gaga iPhone app? There's nothing wrong with making money, especially as a pop idol who worships pop, but we don't love the shades of hypocrisy we see in this behavior.
So Gaga, either stop saying you hate money and its corruptive power of illusion, or give me some, already. Lord knows you've got enough to spare by now!
Here's an iOKi tutorial video to ease your learning curve, because you KNOW you're gonna download it on Tuesday morning.
Adam Lambert Q&A: Gaga "Down to Earth"; Gene Simmons "A Dick" (11/12/09) [View | Hide]
Rolling Stone's new Q&A with Adam Lambert reveals a few more details about his forthcoming album, For Your Entertainment.
On the campy album artwork:
But that's what I was like when I was on Idol! When I did 'Ring of Fire,' that was pretty camp, so I don't understand why the cover is a surprise. People are forgetting me at my wildest--with platform boots and rhinestones around my eyes. Is the album cover that much of a departure?
On Gene Simmons sucking:
Gene Simmons spouted something, that he thought I'd ruined my career by coming out. He's obnoxious, and what a hypocrite--all he talks about is his sex life. He was being a dick--and he's not the greatest singer. I guess he's a good businessman, I'll give him that.
On his favorite songs:
Goldfrapp's Supernature was on heavy rotation for, like, a year. It's electronic, but it has an organic, psychedelic feel to it. When I heard they were working with Christina Aguilera, I was like, aww, she beat me to it.
On working with Gaga:
Even though she seems super-eccentric and out there, as a person, she's really down-to-earth--very New York. The song was a demo of hers from three or four years ago. At the end of the session, we had a drink--and then recorded more after some whiskey. The song captures us partying.
We haven't been totally blown away by his first couple of tracks--from the 2012 soundtrack and the title album track, "For Your Entertainment"--but we still love Adam Lambert for his vocal prowess, style, and oozy sexuality. And we are SO looking forward to the Gaga collab!
Tori Amos: "Midwinter Graces'" Previews 'The Light Princess'! (11/12/09) [View | Hide]
I'm not going to waste your time reviewing Tori Amos's brand-new album, Midwinter Graces, because 1) Others have written excellent and well-researched reviews (see Undented for links to many); 2) I'm obviously biased; and 3) Anyone who is a Tori Amos fan doesn't need a review in order to give any of her new work a chance.
But that doesn't mean I don't have anything to say about it.
First, in my opinion, this is Tori's best album (as a whole) since 2001's Scarlet's Walk. I never stop hoping that she will tap back into the energy that unleased Boys for Pele on the world, because that album's raw emotion and experiemental composition and orchestration is, simply, a beautiful piece of architecture. But Scarlet's Walk, which Tori calls her "sonic novel," is a true masterpiece. Taken in from beginning to end, and taking the months (years?) necessary to parse the human, historic, geographic and spiritual elements that make up the album, it's simply a work of genius. Those who think it is too even-keeled are mostly fans who miss Tori's fire, and those who think it is too esoteric simply are not convinced that it's more than pop music, or aren't interested in music being any more than simple entertainment.
Midwinter Graces is Tori's second "librarian" work. It is the product of what makes Tori Amos unique and it is an example of her high ambitions coming together into a master work. All of her personal culture (minister's daughter, mother's daughter, feminist, expat, mother) and spiritual struggles and inquisitiveness (varieties of Western religious history and spiritual and magical beliefs) are threaded through these songs--but they don't suffer from it.
There is not a bad song or a failed experiement on this album. While some songs are straightforward reinterpretations of Christmas music, most are Amos essays, commentaries on her relentless faith that Christianity and other religious beliefs have strong, even holy, roots, but that they've been eroded by time and human corruption.
But don't worry: If that's something that you hate about Tori Amos (it's the main reason I love her, personally), you won't hear it if you choose not to. Midwinter Graces can be received as a simple gift of lovely holiday music that reaches back into history and forward into the future, and which is based on, above all other things, love, family and peace among men and women. There is nothing profane or even objectionable, unless you object to other people having points of view that are not exactly the same as yours.
The one song that pushes the 'holiday' genre envelope is also the best on the album. And most exciting, Tori reveals in the interview video that comes with the iTunes album download, that song, "Winter's Carol," is actually taken from her musical-in-the-works, The Light Princess. During the period when I interviewed Tori in February of 2008 for Geek Monthly magazine, she wasn't shy about talking about the musical. Since then, she has said little about the project, although some of her comments have suggested that the project might be experiencing developmental difficulties, and might even be on hold. And let's be honest, Tori works best when following her own muse, not the instruction of stage directors and producers, and to imagine a (likely) piano-driven stage musical interpretation of a Victorian fairy tale about a princess who can't keep from flying except when she's underwater...well, let's just say that's classic Tori ambition.
But after hearing "Winter's Carol," I'm not only excited about the musical; I'm confident that it will live up to its potential, at the very least musically. I will be one of the first in line for tickets. And yes, I will fly to London just to see the play.
This album is a gift. If you haven't bought it yet, here is a preview someone made. (Just a note about this preview: It doesn't do justice to a lot of the songs--including "Winter's Carol"--as they typically undulate from verse to verse to chorus and back...so don't judge based upon 30-second previews!)
Happy Midwinter!
Levi Johnston Accepts Porn Award (11/12/09) [View | Hide]
According to Advocate.com, Levi Johnston--Palin background no longer necessary--accepted an award from Fleshbot, "For the bravery to be himself despite the pictures other people want to paint of him, and for taking control of his image and letting us all enjoy in it, the mainstream porn crossover award goes to...Levi Johnston."
According to Fox411, "Levi Johnston says [baby son] Tripp can pose for Playgirl, too." He clarified: "Seventeen no," said Johnston. "Eighteen, 19, he’s old enough to make his own decisions. If I’m doing it, I couldn’t tell him not to, I’d be a hypocrite. When he’s that age, he’s going to do what he wants to do."
We assume Johnston won't be getting the Daddy of the Year award from Parenting magazine.
Reportedly, Johnston's Johnson is making "his" debut as we type this, on some cheesy Playgirl set in New York.
Johnston told reporters last night that he won't do a live-action porn movie, but the chances of a homemade sex tape not showing up when his star starts to fade? We predict nil.
Is "crossover star" a fitting designation for Johnston? What, exactly, did he cross from and to? Nobody to public joke and jackoff bait? Oh well. At least this proves on a psychological level that anything sex-related will capture the attention of the average person.
How does Britney Spears greet the new day? Like this:
"I hope that the new world order will arrive as soon as possible. --Britney"
"I give myself to Lucifer every day for it to arrive as quickly as possible. Glory to Satan!"
Well, then!
I was sooo excited to see this on Dlisted this morning, since I've always hoped that Britney actually wrote "666" on her forehead while she was institutionalized several years ago, as rumored.
Unfortunately, it turns out all to be a hoax. According to Brit's official Twitter, "Britney's Twitter account was just hacked. The situation has been resolved and we apologize for any offense the hacker's messages caused."
DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!

"Bad Romance" Video: Behind the Scenes with Lady Gaga (11/11/09) [View | Hide]
Do we love the "Bad Romance" video as much as everyone else seems to?
We're not so sure...but we do love Gaga's styling, especially the sea monkey-inspired crowned white outfits (vinyl versions of her gorgeous/grotesque red lace VMA outfit!).
Gaga's globe-trotting stylist, Nicola Formichetti, has really outdone himself--and anyone who has come along in at least ten years.
Between the two of them, they seriously make insanity look fun.
