Self-described "Latin from Manhattan" Patti LuPone dropped by New York's Splash Bar (or whatever they're calling it nowadays) to promote her new CD, out today, "Patti LuPone at Les Mouches". It's a rare recording of a 1980 performance she made at another famous Chelsea gay disco the same year her that Michael Urie, who introduces her in this clip, was born.

Watch this clip of her performing "Rainbow High" at Les Mouches and jump up and down excitedly while clapping your hands and screaming "Ohmygodshesamazing! I want to be her! Love Her! Patti!". The performance is so legendary, Broadway's Leslie Kritzer performed the exact same set with the exact same arrangements two years ago at Joe's Pub. Now you get the real thing!

Ugly Betty actress Becki Newton no doubt enjoyed herself at last night's GLAAD Media Awards. Newton and her castmates, including the ever-adorable Michael Urie, took home the prize for outstanding comedy series, while fellow ABC show, Brothers & Sisters, won in the drama category.

Ms. Jackson if you're nasty accepted the Vanguard Award, and got a little friendly with presenter Ellen DeGeneres. Kathy Griffin won for My Life On The D-List, and shared the award with her lovely mother, just like a gay man!

Tom Ford, meanwhile, awarded Herb Ritts a posthumous award, and a Medusa-esque Sharon Stone presented Rufus Wainwright with Stephen F. Kolzak award.

Check out the rest of the winners here.

The Writers Guild of America seems set for a strike starting tonight. As the doomsday clock inches toward midnight, AfterElton offers a look at a dismal, dystopian untelevised future.

Basically every fictional form of entertainment in the world will cease to exist and your precious memories will soon fade into oblivion. After that? The Anti-Christ.

Before you say goodbye to mind-numbing junk, enjoy the Logo-owned website's interview with dreamboat actor Michael Urie, who plays Ugly Betty's evil, yet lovable gay, Marc.

Michael Urie, Rebecca Romijn, Nancy Pelosi and other bold-faced names were greeted by protest at HRC's national dinner this weekend.

Dozens of queer activists showed up to picket the gay non-profit's spineless endorsement of the trans-excluding ENDA.
