WHAT I’VE LEARNED FROM JANEANE GAROFALOThe actress/comedian is in town for the First Person Arts FestivalPosted by Natalie Hope McDonald on 11/15/2012 at 8:46AM | No Comments

It was actually a great era for that – one that would usher in musicians like Liz Phair, launch all-female indie rock tours and would put, in Garofalo’s case, this insightful actress and spoken word performer on par with the men on the scene. Garofalo’s trajectory has been just as telling. She’s spent the last few years digging into independent film and television projects (24 and The West Wing), continuing her comedy and becoming a political pundit for the left – she was among the most talked-about hosts on Air America – thanks to her show “Majority Report.” In some ways, she was a predecessor to the talking heads we see now on MSNBC and The Daily Show. As this pint-size, tattoo aficionado gets ready to come to Philly this week (Nov. 16) for the First Person Arts Festival (it’s not her first time in PA – she lived in Orwigsburg for a few years as a kid and has been to the city often), we effortlessly pow-wowed about what she really fears about the GOP, why she won’t give up smoking and why people always seem to think she’s gay. |
VOICE OF ELMO COULD FACE SEX CHARGESKevin Clash takes leave of absence after being accused of having a relationship with 16-year-old boyPosted by Natalie Hope McDonald on 11/12/2012 at 11:58AM | No Comments
Not everyone was surprised to find out that the man behind the voice of Elmo is gay, but when news broke that Kevin Clash may have had an affair with a 16-year-old boy, things started looking grim on the usually chipper Sesame Street. Clash, who hails from Baltimore, has been playing the voice of Elmo for the past few years. But amid accusations that he had an affair with a 16-year-old about seven years ago (the accuser is now 23), Clash, 52, took a leave of absence from the long-running children’s show after admitting that he had a relationship with the young man after he became an adult, according to the Baltimore Sun. TMZ broke the story after being contacted by the young man in June. And while no evidence has been produced to substantiate the affair (the two did exchange emails), both Sesame Street and PBS are investigating. “I had a relationship with [the accuser],” Clash confessed to TMZ. “It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not.” That’s all fine and dandy, but if you’re working for one of the most well-known children’s television franchises in the world, maybe you should consider dating guys who are at least old enough to get into Woody’s. |
