Actor Marcus Scribner spills the sexually fluid universe of ‘She-Ra’ Season 3
Marcus Scribner, 19, already plays regular characters on two different series, ABC’s Black-ish, where he portrays Andre Jr., and as the heroic archer Bow on Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which returns for a third season August 2.
We chatted with the precocious actor on the eve of the new season of She-Ra, quite possibly the queerest show on TV.
No shame. I love the animation. It’s so unique. I know a lot of adults watch the show because it...
Marvel just put out a major casting call for transgender actor to play superhero
SeraExciting news from Hollywood: Marvel Studios has put out a casting call for a transgender actor to play an undisclosed superhero role.
News of the casting call drew immediate attention from several high-profile transgender stars. Angelica Ross has expressed her repeated wishes to appear in an MCU movie. Sunday, Ross tweeted, “Ummmm Marvel? They keep asking if I’m joining the family. You want to tell ‘em?”
Details on the role itself remain mum, although reports refer to the character as “Jessica,” and...
This “AI-generated” Queer Eye script is more hilarious than the actual show
(image via Netflix)While Netflix recently released season four of Queer Eye, comedian Keaton Patti decided to milk the excitement by writing his own parody script of the popular makeover show — and it turned out funnier than the actual show itself.
Anyone who has seen Queer Eye knows that it involves the “Fab 5” making over some sweet-hearted schlub who just can’t get their life together. Each episode starts with the five identifying who they’ll make over, visiting their pet...
On Your Feet! full of great music and dancing – review
It’s easy to see why this show was such a success across the pond – Gloria Estefan is a huge star there, and the music will play well to their market, where her story is also much better known. In the UK the concept of this musical seems a bit more niche, but the narrative – a classic rags to riches tale, which touches on topical themes including immigration – will resonate more universally.
In a nutshell, On Your Feet!...
Tituss Burgess doubles down on Andy Cohen criticism
Tituss Burgess’s takedown of Andy Cohen is reaching epic proportions after he slammed talk show host Andy Cohen for criticizing Eddie Murphy.
Cohen apparently sparked the fire when asking Burgess about Murphy, his co-star in the new film Dolemite is my Name.
“Did you get to chat with him at all?” Cohen asked. “He was very problematic for the gays at one point when I was coming up.” Cohen’s question referred to homophobic jokes used by Murphy in his early stand-up...

Cyrus Stark (image via Men.com)Cyrus Stark, a 19-year-old gay adult video newcomer, recently accused performer-turned-director Paul Wagner of sexual abuse during Stark’s recent shoot with Men.com (link NSFW).
Stark had been in Los Angeles shooting a scene called “Surprise Collision” in which he plays a neighbor who literally runs into his next door neighbor Justin Blake. After colliding, Blake drops a sex toy out from his duffel bag and Stark collects it. Later, when Blake returns to Justin’s house to...
Rammstein gives Russia’s antigay propaganda law the finger by kissing at Moscow concert
The rock music band Rammstein gave a big middle finger to Russia’s anti-gay propaganda law by kissing onstage during their concert at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow last night.
The German band’s guitarists, Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe, kissed onstage and the band then posted an image of their smooch on Instagram along with the message “Russia, we love you,” written in Russian.
Though the kiss itself was just a small peck at the end of a song, it’s a bold...
Guess who is NOT coming back for the homoerotic ‘Top Gun’ sequel
The release of the trailer for Top Gun: Maverick, the much-anticipated sequel to the 1986 pop culture hit, has Hollywood abuzz as to which characters from the original might return to take flight again.
One actor has already taken herself out of the running: the original film’s female lead, fab lesbian Kelly McGillis.
McGillis, who came out in 2009, has confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she was not even asked to return alongside original leads Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, both of whom...
Rapper Little Nas just broke a huge record
Little Nas X, the rapper behind the hit tune “Old Town Road,” just made history–not to mention some serious dough.
The song has sat in the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 for 17 weeks, more than any other song in history.
“Old Town Road” steamrolled the previous record for the #1 spot–16 weeks–held by the Boyz 2 Men & Mariah Carey duet “One Sweet Day,” and tied by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber’s “Despacito.”
Nas X, while...
Dear gay adult studios: Stop showing men with racist tattoos
The Texas-based gay adult studio ChaosMen recently featured Basil, a solo performer who has a confederate flag tattoo on his right arm (link NSFW). Since confederate flags are hate symbols flown by states that fought for the right to own black people as slaves, perhaps gay adult studios can just just choose performers who don’t have them on their body? How about that?
It almost makes you wonder whether ChaosMen chose Basil with the hope that his tattoo might generate...
Titus Burgess is NOT here for Andy Cohen’s “messy queen” questions
When Tituss Burgess recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Cohen asked Burgess what it was like working with Eddie Murphy in their recent film Dolemite Is My Name because, “He was very problematic for the gays at one point when I was coming up.”
Burgess basically answered that Murphy was nice to him, but if you look at the expression on his face, he wasn’t too pleased with Cohen’s question and he explained why later on...
The Lost Musical Works a proper midsummer night’s scream – review
That’s the concept here; a bard who decides to add a little West End sparkle to some of his most celebrated works. We’re treated to Richard III belting out jaunty show tunes while dropping into the splits; the history plays are recounted as a Hamilton-style rap; and the witches from Macbeth appear as you’ve never seen them before.
It’s a cute idea that’s here backed up by some serious skill and talent. Guy Hughes is an entertainingly Shakespeare – all...
