NOT ANOTHER LESBIAN ROAD-TRIP ACTION SEX COMEDY
Ethan
Coen (Fargo, Raising Arizona) is back, this time with “a
lesbian road-trip action sex comedy” called Drive-Away
Dykes, to be directed by Alison Anders (Gas, Food, Lodging)
and rumored to be starring Selma Blair and Holly Hunter. The movie follows two
lesbian friends who embark on a vacation that goes horribly wrong. The two discover
severed heads and plaster casts of erect penises in the trunk of their car,
and are soon pursued by the owner of the car and its contents. The press release
promises that along the way there will be “laughs, thrills, psychological
insights, and plenty of hot lesbian sex…”
Um, okay. I'm not sure whether to be excited about this, or very, very afraid.
METHOD ACTING?
Best
Supporting Actress nominee Sarah Paulson attended the Golden Globes sans girlfriend
Cherry Jones on Sunday, and eagle-eyed observers reported
that during the awards, Perry "leaned over and kissed his Studio 60
co-star Sarah Paulson on the neck as they ate their steak dinner."
Hmmmm. I can see why it doesn't look so good: Friends don't kiss friends on the neck, and girlfriends
don't let their girlfriends go to the Golden Globes alone when they're nominated
for an award, even if the girlfriend is on a national theater tour.
I obviously
have no problem with Sarah being bisexual (if she is), and this is all probably nothing, anyway - for all we know, Cherry was home
with the flu and Matt was just jacked up on painkillers again. But is it wrong to want
to keep one of the few visible celebrity lesbian couples intact? We need the
numbers, people! Personal happiness be damned!
AN APOLOGY THREE MONTHS LATER? THAT'S SO GAY.
Recently outed Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight went on The
Ellen DeGeneres Show this week to discuss the Isaiah Washington name-calling
incident, which was ignited again when Washington denied the incident at the
Golden Globes on Monday (think, McFly, think!).
After T.R. confirmed on Ellen that Washington did indeed call him
a "faggot" and Ellen expressed her dismay, T.R. began thanking Ellen
for coming out herself 10 years ago. Unfortunately, he did so just when Ellen
was trying to go to a commercial break, so the result is a little awkward, but
still sweet.
Washington finally issued a formal apology late yesterday, shortly after ABC
issued a statement denouncing his behavior, and scores of media outlets and
blogs began calling for him to be fired (read about the whole sordid thing on
AfterElton.com).
Yeah, I'd be worried about my job right about now, too, Isaiah.
