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...

It’s quite the weekend for drag. Not only is a certain event called RuPaul’s DragCon taking over the Los Angeles Convention Center, and let’s put aside for a moment that Alaska’s debut drag pageant, The Drag Queen of the Year Pageant (Competition Award Contest Competition) is also taking place on Sunday, but the alien goddess has just dropped a surprise album, titled Vagina. The Drag Race All Stars season 2 winner explained the new work thus: It’s safe to say she nailed these promo spots: In...

Though she’s releasing five early tracks in total before the release of her upcoming fourteenth studio album Madame X, Madonna‘s official second single following “Medellín” is “Crave,” a slow-jam R&B track with echoes of Madge’s underrated Bedtime Stories era. “Crave” features Swae Lee of “Sunflower” fame, and the 23-year-old singer is also in the video, often shirtless.  The video is hardly high-concept, with Madonna and Swae in a parking garage and on a rooftop singing about how dangerous...

Actor/singer and general hottie Ross Lynch was trending on Twitter this week, but not due to his latest music video or his role on Sabrina, but due to… leaked nude photos. Alleged leaked nude photos, we should say.Twitter was on melt-down mode, until eventually Ross himself responded – as did his brother (and co-member of their band The Driver Era), Rocky Lynch. Also Watch: Threesomes, Sex In Public: Ross And Rocky Lynch Open Up About Their Sex LivesWhile leaked nude...

not the end of me, which reached the number 2 slot on the iTunes pop chart and the top 10 on Billboard's independent album chart.The album's tone is much darker and heavier than All-American Boy, Grand told GoPride.com when the album dropped to critical acclaim last July. "I'm more unfiltered on this album. I explore some of the internal and external challenges I've faced over the last two years, how my ambitions have affected my relationships, losing people that are close to...

A music store has displayed Years&Years album in their so called "gay section." We never knew that this music section existed, but as a fan informed Olly Alexander, the band's out front-man, this music store invented it. https://twitter.com/bareIyhuman/status/735795384149237760 Olly reacted on Twitter: “If you think my music is gay that’s cool, I love being gay and I love my gay music but can you really label a sound or style of music ‘gay’,” he wrote on Twitter. Then he started mocking the way...

In a recent interview, gay singer Adam Lambert talked about how things evolved for the LGBT community, yet the music industry is not ready for gay men singing about love for other men. "I think there have been a lot of things in general that have shifted within the LGBT community and mainstream acceptance," gay icon told Digital Spy. "There's not as much of a reason to be scared of it, because people in general aren't scared of it." However, he wants...
