Ellen & John McCain: What Do You Think?

  Senator John McCain's visit to the Ellen DeGeneres Show (which airs Thursday, May 22nd) has gotten a lot of pre-show hype.  Would she "grill" him on sames-sex marriage?  Will they spar? 

To be honest, I fully expected Ellen's interview with McCain to amount to nothing more than a fluff piece -- after all, the promo for the show showed a laughing Ellen asking McCain if it was really true that he once had a vodka drinking contest with Hillary Clinton...

But after watching the segment, I was impressed. Ellen did sort of take McCain to task for his view on gay marriage, and the back and forth was interesting.

"Workout" Star Loses His Cool, "Dancing" Hunks Come Up Short, George Michael on "Idol"

  From the looks of last night's episode of Workout, Jackie Warner and Brian Peeler are going to work out their differences...when hell freezes over.

Even if you dislike Warner and took Peeler's side after their last blow up, you have to admit that Peeler was out of control this time. The bitter trainer lost his cool at the fundraising event held to support the work of a foundation dedicated to the late Doug Blasdell of all places.

During an auction to raise money for the organization's efforts, Peeler took to the stage after a few drinks and awkwardly urged donors to be more generous.

Luke and Noah: Can't a Brother Get a Break?

Luke and Noah kissed again today, and here's what I think:  Don't you just hate it when you are finally getting it on with your boyfriend - you know the one that you don't "kiss" all that often - and lo and behold, the police come knockin' on your door! Damn that prison-escaping father of yours!  Will Luke and Noah ever be able to get into bed without being interrupted?  Will the sponsors ever let nature take its course with these two?  And will Luke EVER stop staring at Noah's nose when they kiss?  I guess we'll have to keep tuning in....

Same-sex dancing, with the stars?

"Dancing with the Stars" has been dancing around the same-sex partner question this season. Are they gearing up for a gay danceoff -- and should they be?

Is it weird that Ellen and Portia can get married, but on "DTWS," same-sex dancing's still played for laughs?

Gale Harold Rocks "Desperate Housewives," Will Ellen Confront John McCain?

  A friend called me nearly an hour and a half into the two-hour Desperate Housewives season finale last night and screamed, "Where the *&% is Gale Harold?!?!"

Like me, he couldn't wait to see the former Queer As Folk star and one of the sexiest men alive make his big debut on Desperate Housewives.

Smallville and Supernatural…OMFG

  If you’re like me, it’s been hard to be shocked by mainstream television the last few years. I grew up in the pre-CW era, back when the WB ruled television with a green frog and Jessica Biel was the poster child for a Christian family. I saw Felicity cut her hair, Buffy sacrificing her life to save the world, and Joey picking Pacey over Dawson. We’ve been through it all with the WB/CW. You can’t shock us, unless Shannon Doherty agrees to come back for the 90210 spinoff this fall. And yet, after last night’s season finales for both Smallville and Supernatural, I find myself a bit uneasy the next morning.

Playboy Goes Gay!

Big news in the world of "adult entertainment." Playboy has announced it is launching a gay-oriented softcore cable video-on-demand channel. Now we can all watch the same programming that Hef does! Wink, wink...

Teen Star Going To "Rehab," "America's Next Top Model" Crowned, RuPaul's Drag Race Is On

When I saw the headline "Carter May Be Going to Rehab" in this morning's edition of the New York Post, I was ready to sue for defamation.

Then I read the first paragraph of the story and realized the Post was talking about singer Aaron Carter. You know him. He's the cute little bro of Backstreet Boys hottie Nick Carter.

Turns out Aaron, who was busted for marijuana possession a few months back, is reportedly signing on to do the second installment of VH1's addictive Celebrity Rehab.

According to the paper, he will join former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss and Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach in an effort to get clean and sober with the help of Dr. Drew Pinsky, perhaps the world's most patient man.

One-time NBA star Dennis Rodman is also said to be considering doing the show.

"90210" Toys With Tori, "Gossip" Actors Outed, Oops! Britney Does It Again!

"90210" Toys With Tori

Tori Spelling is in negotiations with the producers of the CW's Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off to reprise her role as Donna. If all goes well, Spelling will be reunited with fellow 90210 alum Jennie Garth, who played Donna's best friend Kelly on the original series and has already signed on to the new series.

Landing the gig would mean that Tori, who hasn't done anything worthwhile career-wise since the gay flick Trick, could stop doing those cheesy reality shows like Tori and Dean: Inn Love once and for all. My personal plea to 90210's producers: Please give this girl a job!

Broadway's Bicep Bitch-fight

(Getty Images) Move over, Mariah and JLo - there's a new diva in town! And this one isn't asking for jasmine-scented toilet water or insisting that everyone avert their eyes in her presence. According to the NY Post, this one is suffering from a bad case of "bicep envy", and is throwing a hissy fit because one of the other boys has bigger muscles than he does.

Waaaah...poor Mario Lopez! He's worked so hard his whole life to get on Broadway, and he has to deal with this crap when he finally gets there? How could any director who truly knew his craft not understand that the audience is there to see Mario's arms, not those of some hunky back-up dancer (Nick Adams, in this case) and they certainly aren't there just to see "A Chorus Line" after all...
