The TRUE Wino

Not skanky Amy Winehouse...but illustrious Winona Ryder! I actually woke up a couple days ago with a song in my head from the movie Mermaids, and I realized that morning, much as I realized almost a year ago that I HAD to put on a Hedwig and the Angry Inch festival, that showcasing a Winona Ryder marathon was going to be my one true calling this semester.

My goddess is actually appearing in a new movie soon called Sex and Death 101, which is a typical title for her, and apparently she's appearing nude for one scene for the first time in her career.

Now I pause to invite any readers to respond or to write to Qlisted if they wish, but mostly out of curiosity that someone shares my feelings...or just to make fun of me!

What would Bobby do?

Thank you, John Tao, for submitting this excellent piece of news!

Famous bisexual pornstar Bobby Blake is coming out with a new book in May 2008 entitled My Life in Porn. But the book apparently isn't so much about porn as it is his recent reversion to Christianity!

Now an extremely conservative preacher in Tennessee, he is actually pursuing a career in criminal justice due to his vehement opposition to gay marriage, despite having had sex with hundreds of men. The real kicker, though, is that when you visit his website (would you expect any less of me?), the intro to the flash site consists of the covers of all of his previous movies, but upon entering all you see is news of his book and his ideology!

From a marketing perspective...I can respect that...

Here is the link to his site. Enjoy!

Oops I did it again...

Another great item from Dlisted! Apparentely it's video from NBC's 60th Anniversary in 1986 featuring, of all people, Bea Arthur's fierce ass, singing "We are a Family" from Dreamgirls. I love how she takes the stage and sings like she just smoked an extra pack for the hell of it, shoulder pads higher than Nell Carter's head, and just generally gayer (more lesbionic that is) than Christmas at Tammy Faye's Jesus Birthday Party on West Heaven Blvd.

Yes, Chris Daniels, I will be the Bea to your Rudy...

Sorry for all of the inside jokes, people!

As if I don't steal from him enough already

Dlisted reported that Sarah Jessica Parker finally responded to Maxim Magazine's rating her "Unsexiest Women Alive" 3 days ago (goes to show how behind the times I am with Dlisted) and convinced the world basically about how much better she really is...

"What they don't know is that one day I'll wake up fat. But I'll still be happy, just like I am now. I believe in the old 'sticks and stones' philosophy, so frankly their words don't come close to hurting. And it does not bother me in the least if people don't think I'm sexy. I don't think I am, either."

Oh Sarah, if I didn't already owe my soul to the other 3-named-person-ending-in-Parker, Mary Louise Parker, I would almost consider devoting a shrine to your humble greatness in my spacious bedroom!

Still goin' strong!

And by strong I mean carved up like a Thanksgiving Turkey! *Did I just say that outloud?* According to an article at AfterEllen.com, the new season of Nip/Tuck is set to feature 3 out lesbian characters and 2 out lesbian actors. I swear this show is the biggest national primetime promoter of Vagitarianism, mostly because the LWord makes you pay for its services...just visit the link for further information and/or write to Qlisted with personal thoughts!
