As posted on AfterEllen.com:

If you ever caught Sugar Rush on the BBC, you will recognize Sarah-Jane Potts who played Saint. She’s got a new gig on Waterloo Road and her character Jo just came out. On this week’s episode, the teacher flirts with a female co-worker. And not to spoil anything, but there will definitely be more than that going on in an upcoming episode.

Sounds as if I need to catch up on something (YouTube, anyone?). Surfing the net I found out the show’s being written by Ann McManus and Maureen Chadwick from Shed Productions, who are famous in my books for creating and producing Bad Girls.

Anyhoo, I like Sarah-Jane’s backside, too:

See what I mean?

According to TV Guide, Criminal Minds‘ Emily Prentiss could be getting a girlfriend. The show’s executive producer Ed Bernero told the publication, “We don’t even know if Prentiss is straight,” but would not give any more info on possible hook-ups.

If that happens I will start watching again

John’s currently starring in London’s West End production of La Cage Aux Folles, but he cleared some of his agenda to be able to contribute to BBC’s Children in Need - an annual British charity. Watch last night’s performance here.

My latest article for EurOut.org - this one is about queer women with disabilities and features an interview with my friend Wendy - is up. Check it out here.

I wrote previously about Shirley Tan’s plight of possible deportation and separation from her family, and followed up later with a post on the act of Congress that let her stay with her family in the United States. Tan has been busy testifying before Congress, meeting with White House officials, and speaking to the media about the need for immigration reform to make sure what happened to her family doesn’t happen to any other LGBT families.

Tan’s hard work has earned her the award for 2009 Activist by The Advocate magazine. To read the full write-up about Shirley and the 2009 People of the Year, pick up a copy of the December/January issue of The Advocate, on newsstands now. If you’re interested in helping pass the UAFA in Congress, you can visit the Immigration Equality page that lists ideas including writing and calling Congress, writing to editors, and signing a petition among other activities.

Last week I blogged (briefly) about a 10-year-old called Will Phillips. My friend Stacey alerted me to this clip. (Thank you!)

A, lastly, it’s been a while since I posted some eye candy, so here goes:

Beautiful eyes, dig the hair! (Too bad you can’t see all of her tattoos - heh.)

Shortly after I find out my latest article on man crushes got published on EurOut my friend Alice texts me John Barrowman is coming to Oxford (where she lives) and that she is going to see him. OMG!

I asked her if she could get me an autograph, and she told me she’s going to try not to drool to obviously and try to get me the autograph as long as she doesn’t get dragged off by security for attempting to glomp Barrowman…. Wish I could glomp him!

Part 1 / Part 2

I didn’t know he has a new book out. Looks I need to get another book…

(Thanks, Wendy.)

I was reading an AfterEllen article on “Whip it”, when I suddenly saw this:

Huh? Did you say something?

I bet it’s all for the sake of publicity. Ellen, at what Atlantic Superstore do you get your groceries? I’m not going to stalk you. Promise!

Seriously, hot stuff, CALL ME. (Guess what I’ll be reading next…)

“Any time I do a red carpet, I feel vaguely confrontational,” Cody told the magazine. “I feel like, ‘All right, now somebody’s going to come on the red carpet who doesn’t have a stylist, who did her own hair and makeup, who’s wearing a $25 dress from H&M. I have cellulite. I have big hips and big thighs. And you have to look at me.’ I feel like people have to pay attention to somebody who would typically be invisible.” Read Diablo Cody’s interview in Bust Magazine.

Wait. WHAT? Invisible?! Diablo, hot stuff, call me

As you can see; I’m a day late. All you loyal readers; I’m sorry about that. It’s just that I had a very busy - and very cool - weekend. I came home late last night and didn’t feel like updating the blog. So, here goes.

Early last week I came across an article on Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe’s donation to help gay youth. How inspiring and heartwarming is that?

Dorothy Snarker dedicated a whole post to aging in Hollywood - or rather: how British ladies look so much more attractive while aging. Check it out here. I have been saying that for years, how even British actors tend to look more real because they don’t correct a couple of crooked teeth or get rid of a have a year round tan. You know what I mean? I like that.

In the meantime SELF Magazine got a lot of exposure, thanks to another very obvious Photoshop job on Kelly Clarkson, the singing girl next door. AfterEllen took the opportunity to high light Peter Lindbergh’s work (apparently Photoshop-free). Read the article here.

Another great article on Lezbros can be found here, and a German friend of mine found an interesting link to LGBT texts in the bible (or more so: their interpretations). And seriously: it is worth checking out! (Thanks, NC!)
