Anna Faris is my second-favorite actress. She’s also the star of the new, 80s rom-com Take Me Home Tonight. I interviewed her for Vanity Fair, and we discussed all the important topics: feminist film theory, universal bisexuality, seeing movies high, and co-star Topher Grace’s scary obsession with Star Wars figurines.
Speaking of Maseratis
All this talk about the Trident brand reminded me of this classic video debate I made with Eddie Alterman a few years back “What is the Sexuality of the Maserati Quattroporte?” It never stops giving.
Maserati GT-C
My four-part series, Vehicular Cures for the February Blahs, caps off its snow-blowing season at Vanity Fair just in time for the Oscars, with this Maserati convertible, which we officially crown as the automotive inverse of Colin Firth.
Blame it on the Alcohol
Billed for Speed
I have a new piece out in the nation’s premier automotive publication, Car and Driver, about New York’s premier traffic attorney, Casey Raskob. You want to get out of your speeding ticket? Call Casey! You want to see the piece? Click the teensy thumbnail below. You want to read it? Buy the magazine. (Scan is kind of crappy.)
Mercedes SLS AMG
I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky.
Can I? Find out in the third part in my Vehicular Cures for the February Blahs series at Vanity Fair.
Putting a Lid on Potty Talk
The Gay Uncle is once again called on to share his wisdom in the Chicago Tribune on the use, and disuse, of the words poop, pee, and butt. Read his advice, or suffer through hearing these words continuously for the next seven years.
The Gay Guide to Glee: “Comeback”
Who came back, who struck out, who blasted off, and who no-showed in this week’s generally compelling episode, “Comeback”? Also, a chance to participate in our thrillingly prurient contest: “In How Many Season 2.5 Scenes Will Chord Overstreet Appear Shirtless?” All this and more at Vanity Fair.
Save Public Broadcasting!
An impassioned and intelligent (as usual) plea to save Public Broadcasting from my good friend David Kleeman of the American Center for Children and the Media, published on the Huffington Post. Follow his advice and write to your representatives immediately.
Grammy Time
Stop Believin’, or Don’t? Get GLEE‘d up for the Grammys with my Vanity Fair interview with PJ Bloom, the man responsible for the show’s music.
