Oh happy day! Paris Hilton is in prison, and now the world is again safe. If we could now catch Osama Bin Laden, it would be a good week.
We’re not sure if Paris Hilton deserves her misery, or her fans. Anyone who drinks and drives, and then continues to do so under a suspended license, and CAN afford not to do so deserves some “special attention.”
We thought bloggers who stalk celebrities were going to go mum on the subject, but at the last minute Perez Hilton posted his namesake’s mug shot on his site. Good for you P.H.!
Join Miss Ronnie, Marc and me, Fausto as we talk about coconuts as a renewable fuel, scary HIV stories from the Netherlands, and why we just love love love coffee and alcohol.
Be sure to go over to Turner Classic Movies to check out their gay-licious film series “Screened Out: Gay Images in Film” where they will be playing for the month of June classic Hollywood films that focus in one way or another “The Gays.” Inspired by the Richard Barrios book Screened Out: Playing Gay in Hollywood from Edison to Stonewall, the film series proves to be a must-see.
Some highlights include:
•The Broadway Melody: The first talking hollywood musical, shows the way vaudevillian life was like in the late 1920s.
•Queen Christina: Ever wonder WHY Great Garbo is a star? This film showcases her lesbian talents as plays real-life Swedish lesbian Queen Christina. The movie studio publicized the movie as the “role Garbo was born to play,” we completely agree.
•Voodoo Island: Boris Karloff vs. gay zombies? Not exactly, but it has some great lesbian anthropologist scenes and tacky man-eating plants.
•The Sport Parade: Handsome hollywood hunks Joel McCrea and William Gargan star as two very close Dartmouth college jocks who spend a little too much time in the locker room slapping each others butts with towels. Abercrombie and Fitch before there was such a thing.
•The Children’s Hour: see Shirley McClaine play a suicidal lesbian utter the infamous words “I feel so damn sick and dirty I just can’t stand it!”
•The Boys in the Band: I’ll take living in the age of AIDS, MySpace, YouTube and fighting for gay marriage than living in this self-loathing time period where all we had was Diana Ross and each other.
Like a shiv you can use to fight your way out of anything- the Feast of Fools.

Wow — I can’t believe I actually know this crap. I need a life.

June 5, 2007 at 10:34Speaking of loving the movie Rebecca Fausto, I think you might also love the musical 
Two (here in Austria) famous musical producers turned this movie into a great musical which is a big success.
If you like to get some more information on that you can visit thes homepage

June 5, 2007 at 12:05Just to clarify, you mean it doesnt matter between being a top or a bottom, not between being safe or unsafe, right?
Nick says:
June 5, 2007 at 12:53To clarify, Paris and Nicole are friends again (The Simple Life goes to camp is in its second week on E!) and aren’t they making a remake of The Birds?

June 5, 2007 at 13:45Rick wrote to me about the movie we couldn’t remember:
The movie you were discussing is Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca” with Gale Sondergaard in the killer lesbian role. I would love to write some mini reviews of old “must see” gay movies for Gay Pride Month. Let me know if you are interested in possibly reading them on a few podcasts during the month.
Sure thing Rick! Let us know.
Lesson One says:
June 5, 2007 at 17:43Lesson One: Let me take a moment and flip that shit: Partysmart will not help you at a GHB-induced “bug” party. Let’s get that message straight out there to the children.
And, why aren’t you two covering the San Francisco city declaration to allow gay conjugal visits in prision (first in the nation). Refer to the NY Times for the story. Call the prison system and get the rule book. Men behind bars need love too. I have some Oz fantasies that need to be lived out!
Cliff Dix says:
June 5, 2007 at 21:18I love the Carol Burnett sketch parodying Rebecca except I think Carol’s name was Patsy. Vicki Lawrence was the scary housekeeper. I also love when they did Sunset Boulevard, In fact, I love Sunset Boulevard. Now that’s a GAY movie.

June 6, 2007 at 16:13I loved the Linda Clifford’s music at the beginning of this show. There was only one other episode before this that played it, and I think it is so much more upbeat then the other stuff. In fact, because of Feast of Fools I now listen to Rachael Sage and love Wildeflower because of Feast of Fools!
I just wanted to add to the information that was given on the show.
For example:
1. In regards to the three men in the Netherlands, Mark said that they wanted to infect people with the same strain of HIV so they can all fuck bare and not have to worry about anything. But FYI the virus is different in everyone and changes per person.
2. When you take GHB it doesn’t make me go in and out of consciousness it makes me feel really drunk.
3. Brad chooses to practice unsafe sex and that IS ok if that is what HE wants to do. After all it is with (I’m assuming) consenting adults and therefore IS ok. Some people like it.
4. Did you guys ever see Colin Farrell’s sex video? Now THAT is a NICE cock!
Love you guys!
RcktMan says:
June 6, 2007 at 21:051. Anyone who thinks he can’t catch HIV because he’s a top is fooling himself. I know firsthand– it happened to me. I thought I was immune… I was wrong.
2. Bug chasers are real and are out there: Gay.com, Manhunt, M4MWorld.com — you’ll find plenty of bug chasers out there.
Xavi says:
June 7, 2007 at 09:37Paris who? Ugh…booooorrrrring. I fast forwarded the first 30 minutes. RcktMan, thanks for your comment and courage! The myth of “tops don’t get it” is still out there and your comment makes a difference. Thanks again.
Speaking of barebacking…can we please have the same rage against smokers as we do against barebackers! What’s the difference? None, except smoking kills more in our community than HIV. People CHOOSE to bareback (usually, not talking about the Paises Bajos (Nether Lands) sickos) and people CHOOSE to smoke, at least choose to start. They both result in death yet people knowing partake. I don’t get it.

June 8, 2007 at 06:29On a more positive note, I tried the strawberry and mint sangria last night and it was a huge success! I used a young (bubbly and fruity) Spanish white wine, the strawberries were bought the day before and it’s towards the end of the season so they were very ripe and I used spearmint from one of my own plants - very fresh. Used brown sugar, which I also prefer for mojitos because I like that molasses and sugarcane hint. Thanks for the great recipe guys.
lis says:
June 19, 2007 at 06:56Very late follow up… another twist on the strawberry and mint sangria, made it with lambrusco and it was also very yummy.

June 5, 2007 at 04:52Just a comment on what Ronnie was saying about topping bare…
Whether your being the bottom or the top, you still have a really good chance of contracting an STD if you’re doing it bare. Now, yes, topping reduces the risk, but it’s so marginal that it doesn’t really matter.
