Chord Overstreet plays transfer student Sam Evans on the new season of Glee, and he brings a full quadruple-threat of talent to the role: singing, songwriting, acting…and abs. (He’s also rumored to play Chris Colfer’s [Kurt’s] gay boyfriend on the show.) In my role as Vanity Fair‘s resident Gleek, I gave Chord a call and asked him about guilty pleasures, kissing boys, and his athletic build. Check it out here.
Glee’s Dot-Marie Jones Could Kick All of Our Asses
Dot-Marie Jones plays new boys’ football coach Shannon Beiste (pronounced, Beast) on the upcoming second season of the Gayest Show on Earth: GLEE! In my role as Vanity Fair‘s resident Glee-expert, I gave Dot a call and talked to her about how she got out of law enforcement and into being a warrior, and how this eventually led to her current position. Huh? Click here and be elucidated.
Manscaping with a Caddy
The Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is gorgeously wedgy and blisteringly fast. And you can shave your balls with it.
My full manscaping review of this spectacular vehicle at the Vanity Fair website.
Ask, Tell? Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Or Just Be Gay and Get on with the Killing?
A Federal judge in California found the military’s inscrutable and insupportable Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy to be unconstitutional on a number of grounds. What does this mean for the Military Wedding Industry? Find out in my spot-on analysis of the decision for the Vanity Fair website by clicking this pretty blue bit. (BONUS NOTE: The VF.com piece contains a bigger version of this photo of soldiers spelling “DICK” with their bodies.)
Wheels of Fortune
Printus, the Greek god of magazines, has smiled on me once again. This time, he’s granted me the opportunity to publish a full page piece on the new vehicles from Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the most recent issue of Vanity Fair. Is it some sort of foreboding hubric message that Lindsay Lohan appears on the cover? Maybe. Are you too cheap to spend $4.95 on purchasing the dead tree version of VF? Probably. In either case, you can view the article by clicking the little thumbnail below.
Once again, I apologize for the lame quality of my technical skills.
Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear
Lee Friedlander, one of greatest living photographers, has a new show up at the Whitney Museum in New York. Entitled “America By Car” it is a series of nearly 200 images taken all across the country. And each one is shot from–and includes in its frame–the interior of one of the myriad vehicles Friedlander drove around the U.S. during the past fifteen years. In my role as Vanity Fair‘s online car columnist, I had the opportunity to wander around the show during a press preview, writing down faux-intellectual thoughts. You can read them in my “review” here.

Clean Your Balls?
The Gay Uncle, for rather obvious reasons, is rarely asked to provide input on the subject of tween testicles. But, as he has discovered again and again, there’s an exception to every rule. Yesterday, he received an offer to weigh in on this weighty subject–particularly as it relates to AXE Body Spray’s new campaign. His general take? Humor, good; Ball spray, bad. But this misses the delightfully scented (and subtle) complexities. Check out the full answer, and view the funny video, over at the truuconfessions site.
Your Son in a Dress
Gunc up your weekend with the G.U.’s takedown of a dad who quashed his son’s desire to dress as Snow White for Halloween (and then wrote about it over at Salon.) It’s right over there at Momlogic, and thus just a quick click away.
