GOSSIP: A Spice Girls Reunion At The Olympics? Plus: Downton Abbey, The Bachelor, Liza, James Franco And More
*The Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association announced its nominees for the 2012 Dorians, which honor 
LGBT-interest films. Nods went to Weekend, The Skin I Live In, Beginners, The Tree of Life, Thor (huh?), Albert Nobbs and Pariah. What, no Jack & Jill? [The Advocate]
*Sh*t Liza Minnelli says. “Halston!” [YouTube]
*Adam Lambert says his upcoming album, Tresspassing, reflects “a very honest emotional portrayal of my desires and fears. Both dark and light.” [Just Jared]
*Here’s a picture of The Bachelor‘s tush. (semi-NSFW, duh) [Horsey]
*It’s Mel C‘s birthday—is that why a Spice Girls reunion is being rumored for the 2012 Olympics in London? [Pink is the New Blog]
*Homophobic tennis legend/fundamentalist preacher Margaret Court says she won’t let protests against her anti-gay vitriol keep her from going to the Australian Open. “Are they not wanting me to come?” she said in The Australian. “Is that what they are trying to do? I don’t run from anything.” [The Australian]
* W.E. director Madonna was a snoozer on The Graham Norton Show until she was made to pick out the straight guy in a group of gay men. That’s easy, he’s the one who doesn’t know the words to “Like a Prayer.” [Boy Culture]
*The Robert Mapplethorpe biopic starring James Franco is closer to becoming a reality. “The long-gestating project from producer Eliza Dushku will mark the first narrative film from documentary director Ondi Timoner (Dig!, We Live in Public) .” [NYMag.com]
*Which character on Downton Abbey are you most like. We’re totally a Violet. [WETA]

Spice Girls? Please, no! They are AutoTuned crap. None of them can sing live. Fake, fake, fake. Thumbs down to these crap hacks. One of the worst British exports ever.
·
I don’t know the words to any Madonna song. Does that mean I’m not gay? Oh, wait, I am, because I like cock, which is what defines a gay man. Not all the dumb stereotypes Queerty seems hellbent on recycling in the guise of “wit.”
·
@Esculapio Mitiríades Torquemada de la Cueva: yeah… being gay is more than just about liking cock… limiting it to that definition is just as offensive as definging gayness by all the stereotypes.

@jason:
Nonsense. Both of the Mels are very good singers, and Emma Bunton has a lovely sweet voice, not unlike Olivia Newton-John. Her “Free Me” was a great pop tune.

thecrustybastard,
The Spice Girls were heavily AutoTuned. If you don’t understand this, you’re misguided.
Just because a producer in a recording studio can tweak their voices to make them sound good, it doesn’t mean they are good. It’s an illusion, honey.
They were a tacky bunch of girls who wore lingerie to titillate sleazy straight guys. No credibility whatsoever. They’re a zit on the concept of good music.

good grief, I know they’re trying to do the olympics on a budget but surely the budget can stretch to something better then the spice girls!
