In a Year of Celebrity OUT-ings... WGAY-TV asks the question: Who is the Queer of the Year?

WGAY-TV the first, free gay TV station, online, anytime at http:wgay.tv, wants to know in a year of celebrity out-ings and queer career comebacks...Who will go down in Gay & Lesbian history as the most remembered of 2006???

In 1997, Ellen Degeneres reigned supreme coming out of the closet on the cover of Time magazine, and coining the phrase "Yup, I'm Gay." Now as 2006 draws to a close, when breakups, babies and betrayals monopolized the headlines, and the phrase being "Lance 'd," might be a better line when a celebrity comes clean on the personal rumors of their private life...

WGAY-TV wants to know who generated the biggest gay headlines this year!

Nominees include:

Neil Patrick Harris

Lance Bass

Rosie O'Donnell

Mary Cheney

and Carmen Electra.

Don't fret if your favorite queer is not listed here. WGAY-TV wants to know your suggestions!

And thanks once again to Blog Buddy Ellegedly.com for pointing this out to me!

Making the headlines today is this just released bit of news in the world of gay celebrity dating.

As mentioned on Howard Stern's radio show this morning on Sirius as well as on Blog Buddy Ellegedly.com, Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl have called it quits.

Unfortunately, I have to honestly say this news is not TOO shocking. There have been rumors floating around for awhile now about their situation was rocky at best. The general thought about what happened is that Lance was pressured into coming out on the cover of People Magazine, by Reichen, at the same time Reichen's book "Here's What We'll Say" was being released in stores. And from what I know, that is certainly believable as Reichen was on many different radio and TV stations at the time to talk about Lance, but to also plug his book. So the relationship could have been "fake" or at the very least created in part by Reichen to help promote his book, but it seems Lance was not in on this. In addition, they were reported to have been fighting a lot and agreed to the mutual break up.

But not to waste time, Ellegedly.com reports that Lance has already got himself another man. The other day, Bass showed up with a very attractive man as his date to the opening of Sunset Beach in L.A. As far as Reichen goes, I am guessing he remains single, looking for another closeted gay man to leech off of to find success. (Did I just say that?)

Anyway, I'll keep you posted if I hear more about the break-up of Lance and Reichen. I will drop everything I am doing to give you the latest news!

I tend to stay away from religious issues on this blog as to not offend anyone's personal beliefs. But this story was making headlines recently, so if you missed it, I wanted to make sure you got to read it for yourself.

As reported on 365Gay.com: Organized religion fuels anti-gay discrimination and other forms of bias, pop star Elton John said in an interview published Saturday. "I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people," John said in the Observer newspaper's Music Monthly Magazine. "Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion," he said. "From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."

Religious leaders have also failed to do anything about tensions and conflicts around the world, he said. "Why aren't they having a conclave? Why aren't they coming together?" he asked. John said those in his own field have been similarly lax. "It's like the peace movement in the '60s. Musicians got through to people by getting out there and doing peace concerts, but we don't seem to do them any more," he said. "If John Lennon were alive today, he'd be leading it with a vengeance."

We will have to see if there is any fallout or protect by religious activists over Mr. John's statements. But this is not the first time he's opened his mouth and said something controversial, and it hasn't really effected his career too much. I guess when you are as successful as Elton is, you can get away with this sort of thing more.

What do you think? Do you agree with him or not? Post comments please, I love to hear from my readers!

Fan's of the mega hit ABC medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" will especially want to check this out.

"Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight says he's gay, but hopes people don't consider that "the most interesting part of me." The 33-year-old actor addressed rumors of his sexuality in a statement to People magazine Thursday.

"I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there," Knight's statement read. "While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."

Knight plays Dr. George O'Malley on the popular ABC drama. A former stage actor, his television credits also include "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

Knight's "Grey's Anatomy" character, a bumbling, puppy-eyed surgeon, has long been in love with Dr. Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo).

Also, you may have missed this, but another star has also come out of the closet this week. On Wednesday, former "American Idol" finalist R.J. Helton came out when he told Sirius Satellite deejay Larry Flick, "Just because I am gay does not mean I can't love God." After telling Flick he'd just outed himself "three seconds ago," he said, "It feels good."

This is kinda ironic because his first studio album has lots of religious Christian undertones.. If you want to support him, you can buy it from Amazon.com for $12 right here.

Who will be the next person to come out of the closet??? Time will tell... But Clay Aiken... I'm waiting!

If you have LOGO on your cable or satellite system, you won't want to miss a new show premiering tonight at 10PM. It is called Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising. Now obviously I haven't seen it yet either, so I can't say for sure if it is good or not, but the concept sounds very interesting and I'll be checking it out to see it for myself.

From LogoOnline: Jacob and Joshua: Nemesis Rising follows identical twins who could not be more different. Joshua is a free spirit, a party boy and exceedingly single while Jacob is focused, driven and involved in a long-term relationship. As singers the duo harmonize perfectly with Jacob leaning more toward pop and Joshua a little more toward rock n' roll. After uprooting themselves from their country home in Montana to Los Angeles, the twins find themselves at a critical crossroads professionally and personally. They need a hit record or they face being dropped from their label. Breaking new ground in the pop music world, the twins will be marketed as openly gay artists necessitating their "coming out" to their family, friends and fans.

Jacob Attractive, physically fit, talented and focused would best describe Jacob Miller. Born and raised as Jehovah's Witnesses, he and his identical twin brother Joshua left their small town in Montana just after high school to Nashville with hopes and dreams of fulfilling their musical ambitions. Although neither of their parents have a musical background, the boys quickly fell in love with music as they would listen to their parent's records for endless hours growing up, dissecting the harmonies. Some of Jacob's best memories as a child where when his father would have family and friends gather at the picnic table as he proudly placed his two twin boys on top of it to perform for his guests. On another occasion, while the boys were walking down a two lane country road to the candy store, their uncle drove by in his pickup truck, picked up the boys and drove off to his warehouse so that they could sing for his co-workers. Some may say that Jacob is the driving force behind the pop/rock music group Nemesis; however, it is the incredible dynamic of the two that creates a unique and unforgettable sound.

Joshua Though Joshua and Jacob Miller are identical twins, they could not be more different. Joshua, the older of the two, is a free spirit who lives life to its fullest, while Jacob is known to proceed with caution, often taking the lead to ensure the two stay focused on their careers. Joshua is an extremely talented musician who has been writing music since high school, though he admits if it was not for Jacob coming out of the closet and deciding to leave their sleepy town in Montana for Nashville, he would still be home milking cows. Joshua loves his music, his adventurous nights out on the town, and although it would seem that he bickers with Jacob non-stop, at the end of the day they are always there for one another as they carve a niche in the cut-throat entertainment industry.

Again, catch the debut episode Monday, October 16th at 10PM. If you miss it, they are airing it just a few more times. Times and dates subject to change... in other words, if LOGO changes their schedule, don't blame me!

Click here for a sneak peek at the first episode of Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising!

I just discovered this cool little website that has all of Justin Timberlake's Music Videos to watch on demand since becoming a solo artist. You can enjoy his earlier hits including "Like I Love You", "Rock Your Body", "Cry Me A River", and his latests hits "Sexyback" and the just released "My Love" video. With MTV becoming less and less about music, it is nice to see that Justin Timberlake still makes decent music videos to accompany his songs!

The only reason I made this post is because I thought seeing how HOT Justin is, you might enjoy being able to check out all his music videos whenever you might get the urge for him to Rock Your Body! And if you haven't picked up his new album "FutureSex/Lovesounds" yet, you really should. While not as good as his first CD (which I LOVED), it grows on you as you listen to it more and more. Then again, Justin could release 12 tracks of him farting and I'd probably buy it because he is just so cute!!!

The Material Girl is celebrating her 40-something birthday today... (OK, she is 48, but who's counting).

I have been a pretty big Madonna fan as long as I can remember. From her early days where she was all over MTV, to her latest album Confessions From A Dance Floor which is a really great listen. One thing about Madonna that is amazing, is she is rarely ever out of the headlines. If it is something controversial, record-breaking, unsual, or just plain wacky, she is always in the news and never stops grabbing the attention of the world for everything she does. You've gotta love someone who can do that for as long as she has, and shows no signs of giving up!

In honor of her day, I am not going to retype her entire career here, but rather refer you to her IMBD entry if you want to read more on what she has been up to... However, I do want to present two clips I found of Madonna... One from early in her career and one from her current album. Enjoy this quick look at Madonna through the ages!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADONNA!!!

Happy Tuesday... Today's post is not about anything brand new, but it might be new to some people. I was searching for something to blog about today and found this! I have seen it before, but it still makes me smile!

For a little background, let's talk about The Gay Pimp aka Jonny McGovern. He first blazed onto the New York scene in 1998 with his satirical mix of his character comedy and dirty gay hits and his fire continues to burn bright. In five short years Jonny has made his mark as actor, writer, musician and party promoter. He has his first full length CD due out soon, so make sure you get your pre-orders in!

If you want to see more of Jonny, go to his official website. Also be sure to check out the sexy video to his hilarious song "Soccer Practice"

Here are a few pics to enjoy from the making of the Soccer Practice video as well!

Last week I made a blog entry about the news that was everywhere... Lance Bass from NSync is gay. And he is dating Reichen Lehmkuhl from The Amazing Race. I even had plenty of pictures of Lance and his fellow boy band members... But I neglected to include pictures of the hottest part of this story. Reichen! Have you seen this guy? Holy crap, he's hot as hell! Perfect from head to toe. I haven't seen any nude shots of him surface yet, but it only seems a matter of time until he bears it all... And if/when that happens, I'll be there to offer the images.

In the mean time, enjoy these exciting shots of Lance's new man: Reichen! He is so HOT!!!
