Johnny Weir likes us! He really likes us! In February, the U.S. figure skating champion twirled into Philly to help us celebrate our first-annual WinterPride, where he dazzled with a quick ice show and picked up an award from Philly Pride Presents. And this weekend, he’s coming back to romp with us again. On Sunday, he and a handful of local LGBTQ and ally movers and shakers will be honored at the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund‘s (DVLF) annual HEROES event. Weir will receive the DVLF’s National HERO award during the main event, then he’ll move on to Fire & Ice (how appropriate!) to shake his toosh at the after-party and T-dance. I’m not kidding about the shaking-his-butt part. If you read below, you’ll find out that’s one of his favorite moves to do on the ice, plus a slew of other things you probably never knew about the sassy little ice diva from Quarryville, Pa.

GIRL TALK: MY GAB SESSION WITH JINKX MONSOONThe Season 5 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race talks about how her life has changed since becoming America's Next Drag Superstar.Posted by Josh Middleton on 5/15/2013 at 3:53PM | 2 Comments
When Jinkx Monsoon walked through the door on Episode 1 of this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, few thought the kooky red-headed queen from Seattle would have what it takes to contend with some of her more-seasoned, pageant-queen competitors. But sometime around the middle of the season, during the Snatch Game challenge, she whipped out a spot-on Edie Beale impersonation that got the world’s attention, spurring some to dub her the “Meryl Streep of Drag Race.” Suddenly, the judges were all about her kitschy vintage schtick and her competition started dropping like fruit flies, until, on the final episode last week, Miss Monsoon was finally crowned the season’s winner. This week, she rang me from Seattle for a delightful chat about how life has changed since becoming America’s Next Drag Superstar. READ MORE |

This weekend, it was announced that television networks will be pulling the plugs on a handful of gay-centric and gay-loved shows. ABC decided to cancel Happy Endings, and NBC canned both Smash and one of my personal favorites, The New Normal. On the upside, we still have Mitch and Cam, and NBC will be airing a new show starring Will & Grace‘s Sean Hayes. READ MORE |
WOMAN GETS KICKED OFF PLANE FOR SINGING WHITNEY HOUSTON SONGSDidn't anyone tell her that you should never sing Whitney in public?Posted by Josh Middleton on 5/13/2013 at 1:26PM | 2 Comments
There are a few things in life we’ve learned to avoid at all costs: drinking beer before liquor, don’t walk down dark alleys alone and, unless you’ve got the chops, you should never, ever attempt a Whitney Houston song in public. It can apparently get you kicked off planes. READ MORE |

PLAYDAR: MARIAH CAREY DEBUTS NEW SINGLE. LOVE IT OR HATE IT?The queen of butterflies guests with Miguel on the lead track from her upcoming studio album.Posted by Patrick DeMarco on 5/9/2013 at 9:34AM | 1 Comment
This week, butterfly queen Mariah Carey released ”#Beautiful,” the lead single from her upcoming 14th studio album. The doo-wop tinged number is a vast improvement over her last two efforts, the snoozefest “Triumphant” and the heavily auto-tuned “Almost Home,” but I have mixed feelings about it. READ MORE |
