Michelle Pfeiffer is still lookin’ fierce at the ripe old age of 49. Damn, what is it with Ashton Kutcher and all these older sexy women?

T.R. Knight revealed he’ll be a bridesmaid when his BFF (or fag hag as I like to call her) Katherine Heigl gets married in December to singer Josh Kelley.

Lindsay Lohan seems to be filming some kind of commercial involving Superheroes. No one knows what the hell it is, but she looks damn hot if you ask me.

After reviving the fledgling Batman franchise, Christian Bale is now going to be starring in the Terminator. Since, you know, Arnold is just a tad busy.

Pete Wentz is yet again talking about how much he wishes he were gay. Well, sweetie you seem to make out with men any change you get so maybe a part of you is?

Katherine Heigl’s getting a lot of flack after calling her hit film Knocked Up sexist and the George/Izzie plotline on Grey’s Anatomy a “ratings ploy”. But girlfriend is 100% right. Keep it real!

Now that the writer’s strike has paralyzed network television, it seems CBS is going to fill the gap with episodes of Showtime’s Weeds and Dexter. But of course, the edited versions.

Jake Gyllenhaal has been tapped to play Hall of Famer Joe Namath in an upcoming Biopic. Hm, will this be Jake’s road to Oscar gold?

Justin Timberlake

Any popular boy band has its fair share of a gay following, and ‘N Sync was not exception. Just the idea of four or five men traveling the world together on a bus, singing, dancing, and pelvic thrusting in matching outfits reeks of homoeroticism. But Justin Timberlake’s support from the gay community has followed him into his solo career. In 2002 he was chosen as one of The Advocate’s “10 Coolest Straight People.” When asked about when he first became aware of his gay following he replied, ” It was always there, and I have always been aware of it. I’m the kind of artist who wants to know all of his audience and what they’re about.” Back when Justin was still dating actress Cameron Diaz, she proclaimed Justin loved all of his fans–including the gay ones. “Justin loves all of his fans. People adore him across the board, and he’s not uncomfortable with any part of it. We love the gays!”

Justin’s fun pop music and his relationship with gay fave Britney Spears have surely helped him to stay in the hearts of gay men everywhere, which is why it was particularly ironic when his band mate Lance Bass came out of the closet in 2006. In response he said, “Lance is one of my great friends. I support him and wish him all the happiness in the world.” If further proof was needed Justin Timberlake is a gay icon, just go to any gay dance club on a Friday night and I’ll bet money you’re bound to hear screaming and see arms flying when SexyBack blasts through the speakers.

David Beckham

It’s rare that a male athlete is not only a gay icon, but that he openly embraces and encourages the adoration from the gay community. British soccer star David Beckham says he and his wife, Spice Girl Victoria “Posh” Beckham, fight over which one of them the gays love more. His good looks, chiseled body, and infectious charm have made him irresistible. In 2005 David moaned he thought Rugby player Gavin Henson was stealing his gay fans. “I think I have lost a lot of my gay fans to Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson. It is a shame as I really love them.”

He told Sports Illustrated, “Being a gay icon is a great honor for me. I’m quite sure of my feminine side, and I’ve not got a problem with that at all. These days it’s the norm, and it should be.” Even gay Lord of the Rings actor Sir Ian McKellen admires Beckham. “David Beckham is a beautiful man. He’s got a nice smile. I spoke to him at a party. He’s a gay icon and I know he likes it.” Beckham cemented his status as a gay icon when he and his wife Victoria did a racy photoshoot for W Magazine in which he wore nothing but women’s underwear.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera got her start in the business in the Mickey Mouse Club along with fellow pop stars Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, and followed them into the pop world during the teen pop explosion of the 90’s. Her debut album sold 10 million copies in the US alone–at least some of those 10 million fans were bound to be gay. But it was her sophomore effort Stripped that really made the gay community fall in love with her. Recruiting lesbian rock singer/songwriter Linda Perry to help bring her vision to life, Aguilera made an eclectic album called “Stripped”–a title that both represented her newfound exhibitionism (see “Dirrty”) and the emotional nakedness found in the lyrical messages of the album.

The gay community was particularly stricken by the second single “Beautiful” which became an anthem for gay people–especially after the release of the music video. The video contained images of a transvestite getting dressed, and two gay men kissing and holding hands on a bench while people looked on in disgust. GLAAD (The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) awarded Aguilera for her positive images of LGBT people in her video. At the ceremony she said, “It’s a universal anthem for anyone and everyone who feels discriminated against just for being who they are.” Additionally, she commented on the song and video in The Advocate saying, “A lot of the gay people that write me say that me being true to myself and putting that in my songs is inspirational to them. So it’s almost my tribute to them, to let them feel that the turmoil they might be feeling because they feel like outsiders is OK.” Gay actor Robert Gant and director John Cameron Mitchell have both been quoted as saying the song moved them. Aguilera has even hinted that she may be bisexual. She told Zoo magazine, “I love experimenting with my sexuality. If that means girls then so be it. It would be wrong to hide this side of my personality.” To add to that, she is best friends with gay make-up artist Steve Solitto, whom she mentioned in her interview with The Advocate, and even had drag queens attend her recent baby shower.

In her interview with the Advocate, she talked about her relationships with gay people. “It used to be, the only good relationships I ever had were with gay men. That was before I met Jordy.” In that same interview, she makes it clear where she stands on gay marriage. “I never get people that think [being gay] is some kind of choice. You might be able to suppress it, but why would you live life that way? It really saddens me. I’ve heard stories of parents saying, “I’ll be there, but I can’t treat it as a real marriage.” Legally or not, it’s still a unity of two people’s love for each other.” The diva persona, the in your face sexuality reminiscent of Madonna, the messages of self-acceptance in her music, and her over-the-top performance style have made Aguilera a gay fave from the fiery red streaks to the assless chaps through the Rosie The Riveter bandana.

Singer Jennifer Hudson caught the eye of the gay audience when she appeared on American Idol and was preemptively eliminated–in one of the most shocking eliminations in the show’s 6 year history. Her big gospel belt and her crazy hair and outfits made her lovable. After leaving American Idol she began fading into oblivion until getting a call from the producers of Dreamgirls–who were making a film version of the Tony-winning Broadway musical. Jennifer landed the part of Effie White, and it began Jennifer’s journey to super stardom and Oscar glory.

Dreamgirls was already a gay fave the first time around and the movie version was no different. The movie–written and directed by gay Oscar nominee Bill Condon (Chicago)–was no different, as it was embraced by gay people all across America. They showed up in droves to cheer Miss Hudson on as she belted out that signature Dreamgirls number “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going”, which reportedly had people standing up in the theater in many cities.

When asked about her relationships with gay people in The Advocate she said, “[There are] about a hundred of ‘em [her gay friends]. Girls don’t like me. People say, ‘Oh, here comes Jennifer and a bunch of dudes.’ And gay guys always recognize me when I’m out. I love that. It happens so much — even if I have a hat and sunglasses on — that when I see a group of gay guys and they don’t, I think What’s wrong with them? I even asked Bill [Condon] about it. I said, ‘Why are all my friends gay men?’ And he said, ‘Oh, I know why.’ But then he still wouldn’t explain it to me!”

Starring alongside Jennifer in the hit film Dreamgirls was pop singer Beyonce Knowles who has quite the gay following of her own. Popular urban blogger Clay Cane talked about how he walked into a black gay club with a shirt that said “Beyonce Sucks” and the looks he got were so nasty he thought he was going to get lynched.

Beyonce’s upbeat dance music, her over the top costume choices, and her signature manic performance style are what have made her one of this generation’s top gay icons–particularly with black gay men. In an interview with Instinct magazine she talked about her gay uncle who died of AIDS. “I never mixed Christianity with how I felt (about him). I am about faith and spirituality more so than religion,” Knowles told the magazine. “Doing right by others and not judging.” Beyonce added she wouldn’t be upset if she had a gay son. “(I’d say) I love him for the person he is with no expectations back.”

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway first appeared on the scene in Disney film The Princess Diaries alongside pop singer Mandy Moore and gay icon Julie Andrews, but really caught the attention of gay people when she played the wife of Jake Gyllenhaal in groundbreaking gay romance Brokeback Mountain, and later an assistant to Meryl Streep at a popular fashion magazine in The Devil Wears Prada.

Anne has said she’s considering becoming a nun because it’s a profession completely devoid of vanity–but wouldn’t be able to do it because of the Catholic church’s stance on gay people. “I do disagree with a couple of the stances of the Catholic Church. The most important one to me is because my older brother is gay. It’s important for me to be able to love him completely and freely and it’s important for me to spread beliefs in the world that are not going to limit people in their love.” Additionally Anne revealed in early 2006 that her brother was getting married. “My older brother, Mike, is getting married to his partner of five years, Josh, this fall. I’m gonna be a bridesmaid!”

Once, Anne and her friends were headed to a party at the Gramercy Park Hotel, but the doorman didn’t recognize her and they were turned away. Instead, Anne and her friends took a detour to a gay bar for men known as “bears” and reportedly were welcome with open arms.

In 2006, Anne was honored as one of the Out 100, a list of influential gays and gay friendlies compiled by Out magazine. With her big doe eyes, beautiful smile, and on-screen charisma and likability, Anne seems to have become this generation’s Julia Roberts. She just needs to find her Rupert Everett.

Kathy Griffin

Comedian Kathy Griffin has made a career out of ragging on celebrities, and it’s worked well for her, even if she claims after all these years to still be on the D-List.

Gay.com asked her about her two “main gays” who have been featured on her hit Emmy-winning reality show My Life on the D-List and she said, “Dennis and Tony really are my two best friends, a lot of my fans are gay and I do lots of gay events.”

She even featured rumored-to-be-gay figure skater Johnny Weir on her show, and he gave Kathy and her assistant a skating lesson. This was of course after Johnny made a joke about Kathy some saw as offensive. After Johnny skated poorly in the Winter Olympics he said, ”I had 827 e-mail fan mail messages from fans. ‘I told a good friend of mine about that, and he said, ‘Now you’re a D-level celebrity.’ I said, ‘Great, I’m Kathy Griffin.’ ” But once Johnny explained it was really a compliment they both kissed and made-up.

Kathy tore Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton a new one for her negative comments toward gay people. “The whole gay issue, I gotta tell you–when I hear Patricia talking her bullshit and saying it’s not in the Bible that gay people should be together - those are the pieces of information that I can’t forget about. Patty Heaton has the gayest makeup person you’ve ever seen. I can’t get beyond it. It’s the hypocrisy.”

Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal became famous after starring in The Day After Tomorrow with Dennis Quaid and Emmy Rossum, but it was his starring role in Ang Lee film Brokeback Mountain that has made Jake Gyllenhaal the premiere male actor for audiences.

Anticipation was white hot for the film, which is the first high profile gay movie with known actors. Jake talked about a pivotal scene in the movie where he and Heath Ledger reunite after years of not seeing each other. “Heath almost broke my nose in [a kissing] scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the [bleep] beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn’t hurting as badly as I did after that one.”

The film was universally praised by critics, and earned both he and Heath Ledger Oscar nominations. The budget for the film was $14 million dollars and it went on to gross $180 million worldwide and $32 million on DVD.

And in an interview with Out magazine he addressed rumors that he might be bisexual, “You know it’s flattering when there’s a rumor that says I’m bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I’m open to whatever people want to call me. I’ve never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don’t think I would be afraid of it if it happened.”

Bree Van De Kamp

Usually it’s real people that are idolized by gays and lesbians everywhere but every once in a while a fictional character comes along that people just can’t get enough of. Desperate Housewives’ Bree Van De Kamp may be a Republican, religious, judgmental, neurotic, and a recovering homophobe, but most gay men that watch the show would categorize her as “fierce”. Not since Sex and the City’s Samantha Jones has a fictional character on a women’s program been so wholeheartedly embraced by gay men.

She can bake you cookies, cakes, rolls, muffins, sew and iron your clothes, perfect your garden, get your house spic and span, reupholster your furniture and clean your gutters. But don’t get it twisted–this domestic goddess is no sissy. She may be the perfect housewife but she’ll pop you with her shotgun in a hot second if you cross her. One of Bree’s most famous quotes is about her husband and possible infidelity. “When Rex started going to all those medical conferences, I wanted in the back of his mind that he had a loving wife at home with a loaded Smith & Wesson.”

And that may be exactly what draws women and gay men to her character. She posesses all the wonderful qualities we expect out of women, yet at the same time has the strength, confidence, and attitude we stereotypically expect from men. And it of course doesn’t hurt that she has a hot gay son.

Katherine Heigl

Some people might have recognized Heigl from the WB show Roswell, but most people know the name Katherine Heigl from ABC’s breakout drama Grey’s Anatomy which has become a television phenomenon, and won countless awards. Though Grey’s Anatomy does have a sizable gay fan base, it’s not the show alone that has made Heigl a fave with the gays. In late 2006, the national enquirer broke the news that a scuffle took place on the set of Grey’s Anatomy involving Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey, in which Washington blurted out “I’m not your little faggot like T.R. [Knight].” Washington denied that he ever said it, and a few weeks later the buzz about incident had died down.

But at the Golden Globes this year, creator Shonda Rhimes was asked about what happened, and Washington stormed the mic saying “No, I did not call T.R. a faggot. It never happened.” There was an uncomfortable silence in the room, and you could see many of his co-stars put their heads down in shame. Access Hollywood interviewed Katherine after the incident and she sounded off in defense of her friend. “I’m going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period. I’m sorry, that did not need to be said, I’m not okay with it.” She continued, “I don’t think [Washington] means it the way he comes off…But, T.R. is my best friend. I will throw down for that kid. I will beat you up. I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings.”

Since then Heigl has been seen as the coolest fag hag on television. Popular gay site AfterElton.com says “The triumph of Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl at this year’s Emmy Awards — not her win so much as the stylish way in which she managed to merge old-Hollywood glamour with diva-like moxie (it takes chutzpah, after all, to blurt out an expletive when hearing one’s name called, or to correct the robotic announcer who mangled its pronunciation) — indicates we just might have a new gay icon in the making.”

Jake Gyllenhaal defends his sexuality in the Telegraph when asked about his comments in Out magazine where he implied he might be bisexual. Jesus, can’t someone play a gay role without getting hounded about their sexuality?

Is Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams dating Vince Vaughn? Dear God, I hope not. After he stopped smoking he turned into a hot mess–fat, wrinkled, bald, with nasty nose hair. And Vanessa’s a Goddess.

After already gaining 20 pounds and growing a full beard for the role, Ryan Gosling has pulled out of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones a day before the film starts shooting due to “creative differences”. He’s been replaced by Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg.

The screenwriters who penned the Superman Returns film are not returning for the lowly anticipated sequel. That’s definitely good news for Bryan Singer, the studio, and anyone with any hopes of this film being any good. That first movie was awful.

While promoting The Bourne Ultimatum in Japan hottie Matt Damon said he is open to possibly doing another Bourne film. Aren’t there only three books, though? I’m afraid this could end up not being so great. I loved the first three movies.

Directed by Gavin Hood, X-Men prequel Wolverine is coming to the big screen in May of 2009. Here’s to hoping for many gratuitous Hugh Jackman nude scenes.

Debra Messing will reprise her Emmy-nominated role in her mini-series The Starter Wife. It’s coming back to USA as an actual series–they’ve so far ordered ten episodes.

Carrie Underwood who recently broke up with football star Tony Romo, is now dating Chase Crawford whom you might recognize from the CW’s moderate hit Gossip Girl. I can’t be the only one whose gaydar is pinging.

How tasteful, Meredith. Why is it that everyone always focuses on the gay sex in this movie rather than the movie itself?

Jake Gyllenhaal is on the cover of this month’s Interview Magazine looking all nice and cleaned up. Thank God that hideous beard is long gone. Now if we can just get rid of Reese Witherspoon everything would be perfect.

According to People magazine, Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal could possibly be heading to Broadway this fall. The New York Post was the first to report the news, after Jake had a private reading of the work last week.

The play in question is a political drama called Farragut North.

Gyllenhaal would play an idealistic communications director for an unorthodox presidential candidate said to be based on 2004 Democratic candidate Howard Dean. The play’s title refers to the Washington, D.C., metro stop located near the offices of several lobbyists, the Post reports.

According to The New York Times, the show’s creator, Brooklyn-based Beau Willimon, 29, is “a playwright [who] worked on Howard Dean’s presidential campaign.”

This is so exciting! I wonder if I show up to the stage door in a cowboy hat and boots if he’ll mistake me for Heath Ledger and bend over as a reflex.

Katharine McPhee, on the heels of releasing her new video for her second single Love Story, has just signed on to play the lead role in an indie film called The Last Caller. She describes it as a “dark romantic comedy”.

Larry King is apparently not happy Anderson Cooper’s getting better treatment at CNN than he is. Here’s a clip taken why the cameras were off where Larry is seen complaining that Anderson’s segment is longer than his. Oops.

As I’m sure you all know by now, Paris Hilton has been ordered to go back to jail. Too bad, so sad. But now reports are coming out that she is not eating or sleeping, and has been provided with psychoactive drugs. Can she just suck it up and do her time? Jesus.

Pro-Golfer Sergio Garcia is putting the gays in a tizzy with his tight pants and bubble butt. I don’t find him that attractive, but I suppose when 70% of golfers look like Bill O’Reilly, you take what you can get.

Jake Gyllenhaal, who is of course rumored to be dating divorcee and newly crowned box office queen Reese Witherspoon was seen departing LAX airport.

Things are looking up for Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight and looking down for Isaiah Washington. Katherine has a hit film at the box office and T.R. just got a big raise. Meanwhile, post-rehab homophobe Isaiah Washington has found out he has been fired from Grey’s Anatomy. Cue the tears.

Jesse Metcalfe was photographed soaking up the Miami sun with a male friend by the pool. Doesn’t do much to dispel those gay rumors he so hated back in the day, but I ain’t complaining.

We’ve all been hearing the rumors forever, but it looks like the Spice Girls finally are reuniting. Geri and Emma have been seen leaving recording studios, and they both are reportedly working on new material for the girls to sing.

Page Six of the NY Post is reporting that Roseanne Barr along with Whoopi Goldberg and Kathie Lee Gifford, is in the running to replace Rosie O’Donnell once she leaves The View. I think she’d work, I’d like Whoopi on there as well. Kathie however, just needs to fall off of the face of the Earth and never find her way home.

Desperate Housewives led ABC to a ratings sweeps victory last night as Mrs. McClusky was arrested after her husband’s (or so we assume) body was found in her basement freezer. With 17 million viewers, the show garnered it’s best average since March, and led in the key ratings demographic. Meanwhile Polly Bergen is joining the show as Felicity Huffman’s mother.

Kelly Clarkson has announced her summer tour dates, and unfortunately there aren’t any in the city. I will once again have to travel to Long Island. At any rate, I’m afraid for her voice because her upper range seems to be shredded–judging from her recent American Idol performance and her Daytona performances. She needs vocal rest. Oh well.

One of my favorite comedians, Sarah Silverman, will be hosting this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Sadly enough, in recent years these awards have been more entertaining than the VMAs. Has MTV forgotten they’re a music channel? It would seem so. Eh, who cares. VH1 for the win!

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have returned, and I’m excited. I fell in love with Sarah back in her Buffy days, even more when she was in I Know What You Did Last Summer. I fell in love with Freddie in that movie Down To You with Julia Stiles. They’re such an adorable couple. Please come back to me.

The creators of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell and Darren Star, have gotten themselves into a bit of a predicament. Each of them has developed an adaptation of the show for two different networks, one called Lipstick Jungle, and the other called Cashmere Mafia, and both are looking to get picked up for this fall’s schedule. I think they’ll both end up being fucked.

TMZ has a video of Tobey Maguire slapping a fan’s camera away when he tries to nab a picture of Maguire as he’s entering his hotel. The absolute best part of the video is the guy laughing at the end. Some people think Tobey was rude, but honestly I would’ve done the same thing. The guy walks right next to him and puts the camera directly in Tobey’s face. Ever heard of personal space?

Take a look at some recent pictures of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal taking Maggie’s daughter Ramona out for a walk in the city. I think I’ve outgrown my attraction to Jake completely. First there was the whole beard thing, and now I hear he’s dating Reese Witherspoon which is just a big no-no. Though considering he used to date Kirsten Dunst, he may have a thing for women who can’t act.

Jessica Simpson is in talks to star in a film called The Kentucky Fried Horror Show. Please read that sentence again because it was not a joke. Apparently it’s about college kids on Spring Break getting involved with a religious cult, and I hear Hilary Duff may be getting into the movie as well. Jesus Christ, they just greenlight anything these days, don’t they?

Scarlett Johansson is looking lovely in this month’s Parade magazine. I’m still trying to manage to forgive her for starring in that horribly embarassing Justin Timberlake video, and these pictures get me a little closer to having mercy on her soul.

Apparently rehab isn’t the only punishment Isaiah Washington has to endure for his derogatory slurs, sources are saying Washington–who is usually one of the top paid actors on Grey’s Anatomy, has now had to suffer a pay cut. Maybe they can give the difference to Katherine Heigl?

Rachel McAdams, Michael Pena, and Academy Award winner Tim Robbins are slated to star in war drama The Return, which follows three soldiers returning from Iraq who take a road trip across the States. Three of my favorite actors. Upgrade. Movie about war? Downgrade.

My favorite celebrity couple (well, other than Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling) Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner look adorable as usual playing with their daughter Violet. I feel bad Jen’s movie flopped, but hopefully there’s more good things to come from her in the future.

A lot of Anne Hathaway’s co-stars seem to be pretty obsessed with her tits. First we heard about Stanley Tucci on the set of The Devil Wears Prada, now Anne’s telling us Jake Gyllenhaal was urged to touch them during Brokeback Mountain.

As NBC comedy Scrubs approaches its seventh season, the network has reportedly decided to up Zach Braff’s pay to $350,000 per episode. This puts him at the top of the list of best paid male actors in television, right up there with Charlie Sheen who gets paid about the same salary per episode.

One of the most promising young actors around today, Shia LaBeouf, who you might recognize from Bobby, I, Robot, Holes, or even his old Disney show Even Stevens, has been awarded the ShoWest Male Star of Tomorrow award. This award in earlier years has gone to people like Brandon Routh, Hayden Christensen, and Ryan Gosling.
