…The McCain campaign can ill-afford to do is further antagonize our own supporters. We need to quiet grumbling among our own contributors and volunteers about how much our hardworking fundraising consultants are getting paid. People like New York Finance Chair Tamara Hallisey, who’ve earned at least $148,000 since the start of the year. Likewise, I hear that the latest attack we should expect from the Obama-holier-than-thou crowd is that the McCain campaign is using unlimited “victory committees” to pay fundraising staff for the work they do for the official “restricted” campaign fund while John takes the high road on public financing. Eh, we've been called worse. |

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. 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… |

Why? Because apparently we Yanks don't stand up and fight for what's right. Oh, and we all talk like Carrie Bradshaw. |

While scads of hags and their fags are sooooo excited about the flick, you may recall that Time Out New York came out against the big screen adaptation of the HBO series. And gay writer/director Michael Patrick King's not pleased. He tells HX: I was disappointed in that. That was unnecessary. It’s just hurtful, but I feel it’s more of an attack on Entertainment Weekly and New York magazine than it is on my girls. We’ve been gone for four years—there’s a reason to open our mouths and say things. Why is there no Time Out cover with Indiana Jones or Iron Man with tape across his mouth? Is it just women who shouldn’t talk? That's supposed to be rhetorical, right? |

Well, not us. How are we, and everyone like us, supposed to get excited about a movie portraying the lives of characters we would actively avoid were they real people? With booze, of course! |

Adorable! |

Or, Rather, There...
Yes, you read that right: a film based around New York City came out in England first. That sort of stings a bit. And we think this geographical diss has our colleague Whitney Little a bit bitter: "As expected, Sarah Jessica Parker stole the spotlight — much to the other stars’ dismay — with a ridiculous bird on top of her head." We, meanwhile, think the hat's fab! More pictures over at Mollygood. |

The kids at The Advocate sent us over their article on Kim Cattrall, whose Sex and The City movie soon debuts. While Cattrall's all well and good, the depth of the piece is - well, minimal. That's why we suggest you read what Martha Plimpton had to say to journo Brandon Voss. She's always been one of our favorites and has loads to say about playing gay and just being generally fabulous. |

Red-headed lesbian Cynthia Nixon accepted a Point Foundation role model award earlier this week and told the crowd, including her Sex and The City co-stars, that having other gays around can be as important as any action: "When you're a young gay person, you yearn for nothing so much as the presence of other gay people - most especially, an older generation of gay people who can encourage and inspire you." You ain't gray yet, lady! [Digital Spy] |

It’s funny, when I announced and said, “Yes I'm dating a woman,” it freaked people out a lot. I think people have a hard time separating us from our characters. So people were like, “Miranda is GAY!???” And there were all these crazy things I would read in the paper, like “…but Miranda kissed a girl and she didn't like it. And Samantha’ s had a lesbian lover, shouldn’t she be the one?” Actually, we've dated so many useless men that lesbianism has seemed appealing. |

Thank proverbial God, then, for the undeniably gorgeous Robert Buckley. That smile! Those eyebrows! That "I'll fuck you sideways" smirk. We're totally sprung! So, does this mean we'll be tuning in on the weekly? Maybe, but just to see his sex scenes with Kim Raver, who no longer looks as skeletal as she did on 24, thankfully. |

Regardless of whether or not you're excited for Sarah Jessica Parker's big screen adventure, we can all agree that Jason Lewis' ass deserves some more screen time. |

Oh, Wait, It Actually Just Blows
Here it is, readers: the much-anticipated trailer for the even-more anticipated Sex and The City: The Movie You life will never be the same. Ever. |

"We all wanted to do a movie but I think that time has passed. There was a script, there were sets, there were costumes, there was a crew, and that's all gone now. The sets are all broken down or sold or in a dumpster or, I don't know, on eBay. It'd be hard to buy it back. All the shoes, we have. We all have our shoes and they can have them back." Sarah Jessica Parker on the demise of the Sex And The City movie. Doesn't it break your heart? The movie was was scrapped because Kim Cattrall dropped out to pursue career diversification, and accepted a role in the dismal kid movie The Ice Princess. We'll never forgive her.
