Toderick Hall who created the very funny, Mean Gurlz video earlier this year, now has a new video out called, Cinderonce. The video is Hall’s creative interpretation of the fairy tale classic, Cinderella, as told through Beyonce’s music. I love the video, but I recognize your appreciation is directly related to how much you like Ms. Sasha Fierce.
“Prison Break” star Wentworth Miller — long rumored to be gay — officially came out of the closet today, in a letter to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival declining an invitation to appear there, citing Russia’s recent rash of laws essentially criminalizing homosexuality. Good for you Wentworth.
Earlier this summer Christina Bianco sang Bonnie Tyler’s 1980s hit ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart‘ at 54 Below – a Midtown cabaret bar in NYC. Unlike past covers you may have heard, Christina sings the Bonnie Tyler hit as nearly 20 different divas. Check it out. She impersonates some divas better than others but I have to give her props.
I’ve enjoyed watching comedian, Ross Mathews, since he first appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2001 as “Ross the Intern”. Since then he has appeared on a variety of television shows, but is most regularly seen on the funny Chelsea Lately show on E TV.
Starting next month Ross Matthews will have his self-titled show, Hello Ross, also on E TV. The show will feature Ross talking about – what else? – but pop culture. As I said, I’m a fan of this funny guy and if you are too then you may want to check out Metro Source magazine interview of Ross which you can read here.
My brother-in-law sent me this photograph of the car in front of him. It was spotted north of Boston on I-93 earlier this afternoon.

While scanning Gay.net earlier this week I stumbled upon their post, Vintage Hunk: Paul Newman.
There are few actors who I can think of who aged as gracefully as Paul Newman but then again so few are as blessed genetically. Paul Newman was able to turn heads nearly his entire adult life.
He and Elizabeth Taylor were so beautiful on screen together in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, I have to wonder why movie studio executives didn’t make them work together more often.
Who / which leading actors from years past would you label as a “Vintage Hunk”?
Just a few days ago I was reminded by Joe.My.God that Madonna’s first album was released three decades ago. Want to make me feel old – keep reminding me of that fact. I have to admit over the years I’ve taken flak for my fascination with Madonna, but I really don’t care. I still love her music.
Rolling Stone had a bunch to say about the album, but this is the line that stuck with me “Madonna issues an irresistible invitation to the dance.” The amazing thing is I think she still does even though her contemporaries are all but gone.
Here is one of my favorite songs from that album.
In an unscheduled and unusually personal speech last Friday, President Barack Obama tried to explain why African-Americans were upset about last week’s acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Obama’s 20 minute speech was a welcome response in my opinion although conservative news agencies and commentators like FOX News and Sean Hannity were quick to criticize the President. I’ve been upset about this case since it was first reported and while I’ll admit I don’t know all the details, the fact that Zimmerman relied on Florida’s Stand Your Ground law to defend following a young black man who in his opinion “looked suspicious” smacks of vigilantism.
Did you miss Obama’s unscheduled address? Watch it here.
The Superhero Quiz asks a series of questions and based on your response it calculates which Superhero you would be. Apparently I am most like Spider-Man. Have you seen this and answered the questions? It’ll take two minutes. Let me know which Superhero you would be.
Each weekend Sean over at Just A Jeep Guy blog posts a long series of weekly political / satirical cartoons. Each week I peruse them and occasionally comment but this cartoon struck a nerve so I thought I’d swipe it and share.
Have you seen this video parody of Mean Girls the movie by Todrick Hall? Much thanks to my friend Stephen Nasso for sharing this clip.
Here is a little something for all you True Blood fans out there. What did you think of this season’s premiere? Are you still watching? Are you done with the series? Are you wondering “What the heck is BosGuy talking about?”
Debbie Gibson created a quick video to voice her support and wish everyone in Boston a happy Pride. Ms. Gibson may be somewhat of a mystery to some of my readers, but I’ll always have a soft spot in my hear for this woman who played the good girl to her pop music rival, bad girl, Tiffany (who I also secretly loved in high school).
Funny looking lady Kathy Griffin and a favorite of the gay community wishes everyone in Boston a happy Pride. I love Kathy Griffin and hope she comes back to Boston soon, but til then check out her quick video courtesy of Boston Pride.
