Rocketman is officially in theaters as of today, and to celebrate, Taron Egerton stopped by Buzzfeed to engage in a rite of passage for sexually secure stars: the reading of the thirst tweets. Egerton, who plays famed gay musician Elton John in the new biopic, is predictably adorable as he reads raunchy tweet after raunchy tweet. But something even more fun happens towards the end of the vid — he learns a certain word that will likely not be new information to many...

When it comes to music biopics, director Dexter Fletcher already has a few successful ones under his belt. In addition to Rocketman, which chronicles the life of gay pop-rock legend Elton John, he also took over directing responsibilities after Bryan Singer was fired from last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which told the story of Freddie Mercury of Queen. When asked by Gay Star News recently if he would consider directing a third music biopic, possibly about a female rocker like, say, Cher or, better yet, Madonna, Fletcher was totally on...

Madonna called into Boston’s Mix 104.1 this week for an interview with DJs Karson & Kennedy to promote her forthcoming album Madame X, which is scheduled for release on June 14. During the interview, Madge talked about her new album, reflected on her career beginnings, and answered questions about her upcoming tour, which kicks off in September. Toward the end of the call, Kennedy asked Madonna a question submitted by none other than Lizzo, the queer artist whose most recent album debuted at #6...

After seeing the crazy success of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, MGM has announced it’s jumping on the musical biopic bandwagon. Deadline reports that the studio is developing a movie about Culture Club frontman Boy George. Since bursting onto the music scene in the 1980s, Boy George has sold over 100 million singles and 50 million albums. He has also written two bestselling autobiographies. Sacha Gervasi, who directed the 2012 Alfred Hitchcock biopic Hitchcock, is slotted to write and direct the film, with George serving...

Back in the day we had the audience participation classic “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Knees and Toes)”. And oh how we delighted in connecting our fingertips to each corresponding part. It was the essence of joy. Now RuPaul‘s Drag Race judge and entertainer extraordinaire Todrick Hall has released a new video that has us isolating body features (and accessories) all over again, but with a bit more attitude. Watch Todrick and a fleet of fierce backup queens work it out to “Nails, Hair, Hips,...

Yvie Oddly is an odd bird, and boy do we love her for it. The seductress of strange is currently a finalist for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar in the nearly-concluded eleventh season of RuPaul‘s Drag Race. Queerty’s Rashad Sultana chatted with her at the finale taping, which airs Thursday, May 30 on VH1: Yvie teamed up with queer rapper Cazwell for a satisfyingly bizarre new song and video appropriately titled “Weirdo.” Sesame Street has never inspired us to get down so...

In the mood for some for some sexy, silly, summery ’90s nostalgia? The Boy Band Project’s got you covered. The NYC-based, all-gay boy band cover group made up of Travis Nesbitt, Nic Metcalf, Kevin Raponey, and Jesse Corbin. “Get Behind My Love” is their debut original single and video which they’ve released just in time for summer. It’s a little bit of NSYNC, 98 Degrees, and Backstreet Boys all rolled into one, with a little Jonas Brothers and One Direction thrown in for good...

Until now, Keiynan Lonsdale has treated music more like a hobby than a career, occasionally releasing singles and music videos when the mood strikes. In an interview with Billboard last year, the 27-year-old casually said, “I’m just going to make the music and go from there.” Well, he may want to reconsider that now that his song “Preach” has proven to be a bona fide hit. Lonsdale dropped “Preach” last Pride season as a follow up to his single “Kiss the Boy,” a...

At the moment, we feel a need to scratch at our furniture like a cat. A new clip for Pose Season 2 just landed, and we can hardly contain our excitement. The new clip offers some of the first footage from the new season, which returns to FX June 11. Though it runs under a minute, it teases some of the important storylines in the coming episodes, including a new rift between Blanca (MJ Rodriguez) and Elektra (Dominique Jackson), the return...

A shot from Magic Mike XXLBoston was set to premier the stage musical adaptation of the 2012 male stripper film Magic Mike on Nov. 30, but it has apparently been cancelled due to “backstage drama.” Now we’re not sure whether we’ll ever get to pass off a night of gogo dancing as “sophisticated theatre.” According to Deadline, the Emerson Colonial Theatre (where the show was set to premiere) released a statement saying, “The producers of Magic Mike The Musical have cancelled a Boston engagement, saying that they...

A 15-year-old transgender boy has already become a breakout sensation on the Australian version of The Voice, courtesy of a cover of “Firestone” by Kygo. Oliver Cuthbert attracted the attention of both judges Boy George and Delta Goodrem, both of whom punched their approval buttons during the blind singing portion of the competition. He also opted to join Boy George’s team. Following his performance, Cuthbert revealed that he’d begun taking testosterone last year and that it had affected his singing voice. In...
