Is Reality TV Better For Gays Than Scripted Gays?

(Getty Images) Reality television is constantly derided by TV critics who think they're too cerebral for the genre (don't get me started on that), but it has been a boon for gay visibility on television.

In fact, while the number of gay and lesbian characters on scripted shows has gone down in recent years, we're seeing more and more gay people on reality shows, Mediaweek points out.

Project Runway: 1st Lady Fashion Face-Off?

(Getty Images) Nina Garcia wants Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain to be guest judges on Project Runway. Screw that: I want the contestants to design a dress that the losing lady would have to wear at her husband's concession speech...

Kathy Griffin Shakes Up The Military

I never thought I'd find myself moved to tears during an episode of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, but I was last night.

As we saw on the season finale, Kathy went to visit the soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. These are the guys who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and came home missing limbs.

Kathy vs. Lance?

It's gotten so the minute "Dancing with the Stars" goes off the air, rumors about next season's guests start a-swirling. Lance Bass is said to be "locked and loaded" for the seventh season (and I can't wait, if it's true).

Other rumored invitees include:

Celebutard Kim Kardashian, who's said she'd "be honored to be asked"

Dan Freakin' Quayle (!), who's confirmed the invitation but turned it down

Paula Abdul, who's a long shot since she's a regular on another network

PR: Tim "Hollas Back" and Sandra Bernhard Gets B'toxed

Things are kickin' in to gear on PR, but if nobody steps up to the plate and tells Suede to stop referring to himself in the third person, I might have to hop on a Greyhoud bus to New York myself and gag him with a big ball of...suede. The fabric. And then I'd go check up on Daniel...you know, see how he's doing.

Mario Lopez Lands A Hot New Gig, Charlie's Angels Reunite On "Shear Genius"

Mario Lopez has landed a new gig as host of the syndicated entertainment show Extra, which means we'll get to see his gorgeous face five times a week starting on September 15.

If he'd host shirtless, we'd get to see his beautiful body, too, but I doubt he'd do that… even if we asked nicely.

Project Runway: Does Green Make You Horny?

Well THAT was a let-down! The rumored fling between Daniel and Wesley consisted, maybe, of one night...with nothing caught on camera other than Wesley's roomie Keith making his bed for him the next morning. And whatever started up that night is now over: the judges sent Little Lord Wesley packing (update: Wesley has confirmed that the two of them are still together...so they must have picked up where their time together on PR left off.)

"Runway" -- juicy gossip and a sad story

  Two very different "Project Runway" updates today -- one sad, one extremely juicy.

First, a sad story: Bravo is reporting that Season Four finalist (who was robbed, in my opinion) Rami Kashou was attacked last Thursday in WeHo after dinner at The Abbey. He escaped unharmed, thank Gunn. Leave him your well wishes at Bravo's "Project Runway" site.

Now, a juicy story: It seems signs point to "yes" to the rumor that the two cutest designers on Season Five of "Project Runway" are involved with each other. Find out who after the jump.

Project Runway: Everything New is Old Again

Aaaand we're off...with a less than inspired beginning, I'm afraid. The mere fact that they revisted the Gristedes challenge was a bit of a downer, and the contestants' lack of imagination was disheartening. But to see Tim Gunn yell at them all in the very first challenge? Gotta love that. You tell 'em, daddy!

Kathy Griffin Tames The Bears And Cesar Millan

Okay, we see all sorts of gays represented on Bravo, but how often do we see the bears? It took our Kathy Griffin to give the big guys some exposure.

As we saw on last night's episode of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, Kathy was hired to perform at a bear convention. Never one to let up on Oprah, Kathy declared, "Oprah's gotta be like the ultimate bear." And Oprah's cub? Gayle, of course.
