It looks like we’ve been picked to compete in Malcontent’s 2007 March Gayness, a battle of the gay blogs if you will–go here and vote for Breath of Fresh Ink if you have the time and energy!
We need your help to get us some much needed visibility. It’ll just take 5 quick seconds. We’re losing by a really big margin! It’s all the way at the bottom.
Sorry about the lack of updates the past few days, guys. I’ve been finishing finals and getting ready to go home for Christmas break.
The good thing is, I’m at home now, and I’ll be here for about a month. And I’ll basically have all day to do nothing but watch TV and blog.
So you guys are in for a treat!
<3 Chris
Okay everyone. This is going to be a MEGA post, so bear with me.
Three-time Oscar nominated actress (and the bitchin-ess Catwoman ever) Michelle Pfeiffer is slated to star as the villain in the highly publicized and anticipated screen version of Broadway musical Hairspray. Pfeiffer joins an all-star cast that includes Oscar nominees Queen Latifah and John Travolta, as well as teen star Amanda Bynes.
The film will start filming on Sept. 5, and will most likely be released in December of 2007.
In other Broadway news, Grammy winner R&B star Usher will join the cast of Chicago for his Broadway debut starting August 22–lasting through early October. He’ll be playing conniving lawyer Billy Flynn (the role played by Richard Gere in the movie).
He says:
“I have always admired Broadway actors for their showmanship, dedication and focus that goes into performing live on stage every night. Being on Broadway allows you to connect to audiences in a whole new way that’s different from music and movies.”

With syndication rights already bought up for ABC’s hit Desperate Housewives, the network should be grinning from ear to ear now that its other hit Grey’s Anatomy will be giving shared syndication rights to both TNT and the Oxygen network. TNT has the rights to play the show during the day, while Oxygen is given the post-6 PM slot.
Rumor has it Oxygen paid about 700,000 per episode of Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner Grey’s Anatomy while TNT paid about 300,000 to foot the rest of the million dollar bill. The episodes should begin airing in about 2009, when the show is in its fifth season.
In other Grey’s Anatomy news, star Kate Walsh is teaming up with Golden Globe nominee John Cusack in a new adaptation of Stephen King novel 1408. The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson.
It starts filming before the end of the summer in the U.K.

Disney channel That’s So Raven star Raven Symone has signed on to remake the 80s classic Adventures In Babysitting. The original, which opened in 1987, starred Elisabeth Shue, Vincent D’Onofrio, Bradley Whitford, and Anthony Rapp.
There is no information as to when the film will start production, as it’s only at the script stage.

Oscar winner Holly Hunter is in negotiations to star in a new TNT drama series Saving Grace, while Golden Globe nominee Michael Keaton will star in the six-hour mini-series The Company.
According to Hollywood Reporter:
In “Grace,” Hunter will star as a jaded police officer who is offered the chance to redeem her life after she encounters an angel. Signing on to the project would give Hunter her first TV series role.
Also, The Practice star Lara Flynn Boyle is starring in the original movie The House Next Door (I’m laughing too), and Desperate Housewives star Jay Harrington is in a new movie with Scrubs beauty Sarah Chalke called Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy.

Actress Regina King (who should’ve been thrown an Oscar nod for Ray) will be featured in episodes of FOX drama 24. She will join as a heretofore unseen Palmer sister Angela, a powerful lawyer with an advocacy group.

For those of you pining for some heat over on Wisteria Lane, season one’s hot gardener and John Tucker Must Die star Jesse Metcalfe says it’s possible he will return to the show that launched his career, Desperate Housewives. The red hot actor says:
“I’ve been very selective and I’ve turned down half a dozen things,” he said. “Some things came right away after I was done shooting. I came back into town and shot a few episodes of ‘Housewives‘. There’s been some talk of me coming back for a third season. I’m weighing that out.”

I’m not sure about everyone else, but I really, really hate Perez Hilton (or whatever his real name is). Though his site is fun to read sometimes, other times it makes me sick that someone like him sits atop gay blogging and online gossip. His taste in music and movies is that of a 13 year old girl, he spends his life ragging on every celebrity he can think of but then professing his “love” for them, and a few weeks ago he had the nerve to seriously call Mariska Hargitay and her husband Peter Hermann C-List celebrities (which of course prompted hundreds of angry comments defending the Golden Globe winner).
The self-proclaimed “Queen of the Media” is yet another bad example of male homosexuality at its worst. According to Perez, the more beautiful you are the more famous you should be, the more famous you are the more so awesomely fabulous you are, girl!! Welcome to Bulimia Lane. Now that that rant has run its course, here’s a picture of the culprit with Full House stars Bob Saget and John Stamos to promote a performance John is having with the Beach Boys.
Of course, John looks so adorable in the picture–but what’s up with Bob Saget? Should I be handing him a bottle of Maalox or a voucher for the nearest rehab facility?

And as for Dave Navarro and Tommy Lee’s exchange of DNA at the recent Rock Star: Supernova promotional party–I’m personally aroused and disgusted all at the same time. I guess that’s their charm.
Ladies and gentlemen..behold…white trash.
This game has to be the most hilarious thing I’ve ever played in my life. Well..next to Spice World.
You get to beat the shit out of Britney and K-Fed.
Apple Computer is in talks with most of Hollywood’s studios to offer movie downloads via its popular online iTunes Music Store, show business newspaper Daily Variety reported Monday.
Citing unnamed sources, Variety said iTunes might begin offering film downloads by the end of 2006, but currently a price on iTunes is a sticking point in negotiations.
Apple’s Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs is said to want one flat price of $9.99 per movie, whereas studio executives want a range of prices that mirrors videos and DVDs at retail stores which, generally speaking, run from discount titles at a few dollars apiece up to $19.99 or more for new releases.
Spokespeople for Apple and most of Hollywood’s big studios either declined to comment or were not immediately available.
Putting movies for sale online via iTunes would seem a logical step for Hollywood’s studios. Already, they offer movies online at websites like Movielink and CinemaNow, and Warner Bros. recently agreed to make movies available via BitTorrent.
But because iTunes is already widely used for downloading songs and television shows, the relatively new market for downloading movies would likely get a boost from the added exposure of being backed by iTunes.
The one and only Rosie O’Donnell created a video to the tune of Pink’s Dear Mr. President, and posted it on her website.
God, I can’t wait until Rosie gets on “The View” and kills conservative idiot Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Dude, how did you even get ON “The View“? You didn’t even win “Survivor“. Pfft.
