"Expect some below-the-belt humor when Homer Simpson undergoes a colonoscopy. The star of Fox's The Simpsons will be screened for colon cancer in a special animated bit on the "Stand Up to Cancer" fund-raiser airing on ABC, CBS and NBC Sept 5. In the segment, Marge makes a shocking discovery as she and a doctor look at Homer's colon on a TV monitor. "There's his wedding band! He told me he was getting it polished!" she roars in disbelief."

"Homosexuals in Romania are to get their own online TV channel, dedicated to "the life and problems of the gay community," starting October 1, its creators said Monday. The channel, dubbed Angelicuss TV, will be the first of its kind in this majority Orthodox country, where homosexuality was only decriminalised in 2001." [AFP]

Handsome Mad Men actor Jon Hamm recently sat down with The Advocate's Brandon Voss for a little homo heart-to-heart.

In addition to discussing the requisite "man crushes" - MM writer Matt Weiner and costar John Slattery - Hamm talks advertising, his fictional character Don's forte:

BV: How would you create a Mad Men ad campaign geared specifically to the gay community?

JH: Well, it’s a very high-drama show, and it’s very stylish. Three things that the gay community responds to are attitude, sexiness, and style. We’re a prime property for a big gay following—I love it.

BV: We’re an easy sell, Jon — just show us some skin.

JH: [Laughs] I don’t know about that. I don’t know if you want me anywhere near any kind of skin thing — that’s a nightmare.

Mr. Hamm, we respectfully disagree…

Because he will die if he's not on television every season, Diddy teamed up with VH1 to produce his own Apprentice-esque show, I Want To Work With Diddy. Why anyone would want such a position, we don't know, but at least two queers made it into the finals, gay man Rob Smith and Laverne Cox, a trans woman. And Smith has made it his mission to keep you - yes, you! - updated on the Diddy details. We're pins and needles… [AfterElton]

So, as many of you know, AMC last night debuted season two of its first original series Mad Men. We've been fans since day one - and not only for out actor Bryan Batt's closeted character. Last night's premiere hit our particular spot and we love the tonal change, but would love to hear what you lot have to say. So, any of you mad about Mad Men?

It's a sad day, reader.

We regret to inform you that Estelle Getty - also known as Golden Girls' Sophia Petrillo - has died. The actress, who cut her teeth on Broadway, was a mere three days shy of her 85th birthday.

Above, a Golden Girls clip of Sophia, daughter Dorothy and the other gals enjoying some porn.

Good news for all you The L-Word lovers!

Showtime announced yesterday that they're planning on creating a spin-off of the lesbian sudster. It's going to be called The V-Word. Psych. We don't know what it's call. Here is what we do know:

Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt just announced a spin-off plan for The L-Word at press tour.

“We’re in the process of working on an The L-Word spin-off,” he says. “I’m not going to give you too many details. We’re shooting it after The L-Word."

The spin-off will star one of the actors from The L-Word, which is entering its sixth and final season and will return in January. Greenblatt [say] didn’t which The L-Word actor will star ("I don't want to be too coy, but I can't say") and added that the chosen actor is not yet aware they will star in the spin-off.

The show will be created by The L-Word showrunner Ilene Chaiken, who will take a storyline from the original show’s final season and extend it into Internet-only content. If Showtime moves forward with the as-yet-untitled spin-off, the online storyline will segue into the new series.

Greenblatt also announced that the cable station's picked up two more seasons of Weeds, which pleases us to no end.

Any Weeds watchers out there? What's up with this gangster-in-the-ground story?

Molly Shannon and Selma Blair are reprising the roles of Kath & Kim, Australia's top sitcom that's NBC imported to, once again, attempt to save its reputation as must-see comedy TV. But based on the American version's early showing, even the Aussies are nervous the show is gonna bomb. Are we looking at the next round of Coupling, the British sitcom NBC tried, and failed, to get off the ground in the U.S.? Or might Shannon and Blair actually have the potential to carry this witty comedy — with a huge gay followed — through to at least a full season before Jeff Zucker yanks it?

Rue McClanahan's still going strong. The seventy-two year old has been working steadily since 1970, when she made a brief appearance on the soap opera Another World, then it was on to Mama's Family and Maude and, of course, The Golden Girls.

Now, seventy-two years young, McClanahan's lending her talents to the Logo-produced dysfunctional family miniseries Sordid Lives, based on Del Shores' novel of the same name. Ahead of the show's July 23rd debut, McClanahan sat down with The New York Blade and proved she's just as opinionated as ever:

Today, she can’t say enough about Barack Obama.

“This is the damnedest election I’ve ever lived through and Obama is the most amazing candidate I’ve ever bumped into,” McClanahan said. “The man has unshakable integrity. He’s the nearest thing to Lincoln we’ve seen.”

One comparison you won’t find McClanahan endorsing is The Golden Girls being hailed as the original Sex and the City.

“‘The Golden Girls’ has infinitely more substance,” McClanahan says. “I never enjoyed the characters on Sex and the City, and I could never watch it for more than a few minutes.”

Me-ow!

Meanwhile, we've seen the first two episodes of Sordid Lives and it's definitely worth a watch, even if just for McClanahan. There's a promo after that there jump…
