Rich from FourFour had the nerve to write an article in print–who writes for magazines anymore? Blogging is totally the new pink.

But we forgive him because (a) it's for NYC's gay zine Next, which is fun, and (b) he interviewed Sandra Bernhard, on her one-woman cabaret show "Everything Bad & Beautiful." If you haven't seen Sandra B live, you must make the pilgrimage and witness the glory for yourself. Smart, caustic, and deliciously fun, she sings her way into your heart as her wit kicks you in the head. We wish she would go on tour. Hint hint.

Sandra Bernhard is Between Rock and a 'Hard Place [Next]

Sandra Bernhard took a few minutes out of her hectic schedule to talk to Queerty editor Bradford Shellhammer about her upcoming television performances, her tour with Cyndi Lauper, and the release of her classic film Without You I'm Nothing.

Tell us how you got involved with QTN? Should we expect more television appearances in the future?
I was asked to my delight to come on and co-host the Jack E Jett Show, of course it sounded like fun. Anytime I get to follow in Belinda Carlisle’s footsteps I am thrilled. And yes of course I will be doing more television in many diverse areas from acting in dramatic roles, such as my portrayal of Charlotte Birch on The L Word, to comedy and perhaps a variety show of my own.

You are anchoring QTN's Halloween Scare-athon. Is Halloween as big a deal for lesbians as it is for fags?
I think lesbians are always dressed like witches, don't you?

We caught you and your band many years back at the Beacon Theater and were blown away by your "Janie's Got A Gun" cover. Are you still making music? Any news concerning that?
Oh yes. My long time collaborator Mitch Kaplan and I are finishing up our album of original songs titled Gems of Mystery, which will be available on my web site Sandrabernhard.com. Singing, especially rock and roll, is my passion and joy. Stay tuned kids.

What are you dressing up as this Halloween?
I leave that up to my daughter.

After the jump Sandra talks about Madonna, other female comedians, and her tour with Cyndi Lauper.

•A Christian school in California has expelled a 14-year old girl upon learning her parents are gay. I guess we glossed over the part in the Bible where Jesus said “thou shalt not educate the offspring of lesbians.”

•Ex-gay camp Love in Action employees are allowed to continue their brainwashing for one more week. But not to worry. Once the place shuts its doors for good, they'll easily find jobs working for the Vatican.
