Former Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington posted a piece on Hufffington Post yesterday. The article - DNA Has Memory: We Are Who We Were - led one reader to ask how we feel about the infamous "faggot flinger" getting space at HuffPo.

Writes the concerned culture consumer: "Is it newsworthy that the Huffington Post has chosen to give Isaiah Washington a platform to spout off? It certainly decreases my respect for the site." There are two aspects of this query which deserve consideration…

21-year old Adamo Ruggiero first became a gay icon at age 16. Too bad the Degrassi: The Next Generation actor hadn't yet come to terms with his own homosexuality. In fact, it wouldn't be until this year that Ruggiero - who has a long history of extracurricular activism - would come out to the public.

The part-time film student and full-time artist recently gabbed with our editor about the pros and cons of playing Marco Del Rossi, why Canadians don't care about celebrity and how his acting experience gave him a new view of the U.S.

Start The Death Watch...

Amy Winehouse has thrown discretion out the window - or in her crack pipe. The Sun just published footage of the train wreck talent snorting coke and ecstacy before riding the train to crack town.
The tormented singing sensation took hit after hit of the deadly drug after a 19-minute binge in which she snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine.

And she admitted she had just popped six Valium pills to “bring myself down”.

Amy’s spiral of self-destruction was revealed in a harrowing video filmed at her East London home and seen by The Sun.

It will horrify relatives and friends who fear she could soon end up dead.

Girl, she may be dead already.

Gay Author Takes On Celebrity Culture

rupertsmithmedium-1.jpg
Gay author Rupert Smith got his journalistic start interviewing celebrities and writing about show business. Unsatisfied - and somewhat disgusted - with the glitz, glamor and lies, Smith retreated from the celluloid circuit.

He may have given up chopping up bigwigs, but the author didn't leave it all behind. In his novel, I Must Confess, Smith offers a hilarious send-up of celebrity memoirs, homosexuality in Hollywood and inflated egos.

Though publishing in Britain back in 1998, I Must Confess has just made its US debut. We dispatched Paul Florez to pick Smith's brain.

Read what Smith had to say about celebrity culture, coming out, Jodie Foster and why the main character's voice came so easily…

New York Post's recent price hike really pissed us off, but it's "Just Asking" head scratchers like these that make it worth that extra quarter:

• Which actor - married with child - and known to have been gay during his years on stage - showed up at the premiere of his film at the Tribeca Film Festival with a boy described by onlookers as a lookalike?

• Which grizzled action hero has been consuming so much alcohol and cocaine it's affecting his work? He can't remember his lines, and then loses his temper.

• Which buffed-out Hollywood star - who loves showing off his bulging muscles - wishes he were a little more bulging in another department? According to people who've seen him naked, he's overcompensating with muscles he can make bigger.

Flex that brain muscle of yours and squeeze out some guesses…

If there's one person we love, it's that adorable scamp Rupert Everett. Sure, he may have a reputation for being a bit of a diva, but that doesn't mean he hasn't got some valid points to make, so we're thrilled to itty-bits that Out Magazine's taken some time to sit down with the gay actor to chat about his new memoir, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins.

Sitting down with fellow Brit and Out EIC, Aaron Hicklin, Everett chats about his new book, growing up gay and the state of the gay celebrity nation. While he laments the dearth of out gay celebrities - a shortage that's particularly irksome when straight actors land the choice gay roles - Everett's not looking to be the go-to gay in the celebrity village.

boy_george

At least not in prison. The former Culture Club lead singer and now tabloid train wreck, Boy George, cut a plea deal with Manhattan prosecutors over his recent cocaine bust charges. He got off with a $1,000 fine, a week of community service and some rehab.

As part of the plea agreement, the Manhattan District Attorney dropped the more serious drug-possession charges, which could have landed the former Culture Club crooner up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Judge Anthony Ferrara said the entertainer, whose real name is Gorge O'Dowd, to undergo his rehab at a clinic in his native England.

"I am relieved and happy that this case has been disposed of, and would like to thank the judge, the district attorney and my attorney, Lou Freeman, for the fair and speedy way it was dealt with," the singer said in a statement issued through his manager. "I love New York, and am looking forward to coming back and working in the States later this year."

Read: New York has the best cocaine and there’s no way I’m not coming back. Also, if any readers happen to spot Boy George, hopefully wearing an orange jumpsuit doing community service by cleaning up crack vials in Central Park, you know where to send the pics.

madonna britney kiss

Remember Madonna’s little kiss with Britney at the MTV Awards a few years back? Of course you do. If you’re like us, you’ve Tivoed it and watch it every Christmas morning. Still, seems on little gal was a bit confused by it. And we don’t mean Rosie O’Donnell.

Madonna has admitted her famous kiss with Britney Spears caused her daughter Lourdes to get “obsessed” with gay issues. The singer said the nine-year-old asked: “Mom, you know that they say you are gay?”

Madge, 47, explained her snog with Britney, 27, at an MTV show was not sexual. She told Lourdes: “I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her.”

We’re not even really why Madonna needed to explain ‘gayness’ to adorable little Lourdes, seeing as though we always assumed her home was brimming with queens fluttering about. Still, you have to admire the Patron Saint of Queerty for explaining things so eloquently to her daughter. That bitch does everything right.

Michelle heath Brokeback

Michelle Williams blew us away with her Oscar-nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain. Like everyone else, we had a lump in our throats when Jack & Ennis passionately kiss during their first reunion. Alma's immediate reaction to the lip lock was far more moving. But not everyone felt that way about her performance. Take, for example, Michelle's former Christian headmaster, Jim Hopson:

"We don't want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie,” said Hopson, who turned down a request from a Union-Tribune reporter to visit the school and chat with students about the movies and one of their own being up for an Academy Award.

“Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. We would not approve of her movies and TV shows (including the teen drama “Dawson's Creek”). We'd not like to be tied to 'Brokeback Mountain.'
Yes because the first thing moviegoers will think of while leaving the theater after a screening of the film is a small Christian school in San Diego County.

We now understand why Michelle moved Heath and their baby across the country to Brooklyn; To get away from the loyal, tolerant, and Jesus-like love of Dopson.

boy george

We don’t know what’s gotten into Boy George lately but he seems to in the news as much as he was during his Culture Club days in the 80's. It could just be the need to generate buzz for a nonexistent career. Or, more likely, it could be blamed on the massive cocaine withdrawal he might be suffering at the moment. We’re sure his publicist is making sure his nostrils are free of any nose candy.

It seems the Boy isn't too keen on gay marriage. Wonder what fellow brit (and newlyood) Sir Elton John has to say about this.

"Gay unions, what is that all about? I haven't been invited to any ceremonies and I wouldn't go anyway. The idea that gay people have to mimic what obviously doesn't work for straight people anymore, I think is a bit tragic.

"I'm looking forward to gay divorces."

Well, that pessimistic attitude is no way to get yourself invited to what is sure to be the hottest ticket of the year: George Michael’s summertime wedding. But if the Boy is right and gays all over start filing for divorce in droves, we owe him a coke. Of course we mean Coca-Cola.

kate-moss

Everyone’s favorite coke snorting supermodel, Kate Moss is about to team with They Gays’ favorite director, Ang Lee, for his next film, a biopic of Dusty Springfield. Springfield will be played by Charlize Theron who is no stranger to playing lesbians, and Moss will play her slutty, heartbreaking lover. Not much of a stretch for her big screen debut.

"There'll probably be sexual scenes but as Ang is behind the camera they will be very tastefully done. Kate's character breaks Dusty's heart and sparks off the chain of tumultuous relationships that dogged her throughout her life."

The dykes will definitely be lining up for this one on opening day (its been awhile since Bound) like all of us queens did for Ang’s other little film.

As for Moss, if her acting ends up being just as good as her ability to suck up blow using a $100 dollar bill, then she might have a new career to focus on once the modeling world is done with her. Which is right about now.
