5 Gay iPhone Apps You Should Download (other than Grindr)

Do you think this guy’s checking the current song on G.I.R.L. or updating his Gay Agenda?

With Apple’s introduction of the brand-new, fancy iPod touch yesterday, more people than ever will have little Steve Jobs fun creations in their pockets. After you download Pandora, Facebook, and *don’t* download Grindr, it can be pretty overwhelming weeding through the rest of that jungle of apps out there to decide what accessories to buy your new device. I’m pretty sure new parents experience a similar sensation when they go to bon bébé for the first time. So here are 5 apps that were born gay, and might be the perfect fit for your new bon ipod.

1. Gay Internet Radio Live – G.I.R.L.

If you’re tired of all the British Pop your Last.fm station keeps insisting you like, give G.I.R.L a try. It has a pretty solid stream of dance and electronic music 24 hours a day, and will definitely remix any occasional Selena Gomez song completely beyond recognition. The app is free, and also features a hot dj on the screen just leaning back, taking it easy, and aurally taking care of you.

The app lets you listen to the stream with two options, but the audio is best using WiFi. Song and artist info is displayed with each track.

2. PeekaBooTranny

Boo! What’s that in that photo you just took? No it’s not your finger, it’s PeekaBoo Tranny! The Hipstamatic of the Hell’s Kitchen set adds a little surprise to each of your photos that’s a bit more transformative than some grainy, yellow filter.

With five sassy gals to choose from how could you go wrong?

More gay apps, gapps?, after the jump

Watch the new “Down By the Water” Video from The Drums. Cute, Yet Spooky!


We’re about to get BIG. You might wanna back up…

Buzz, buzz, buzz… The happy enthusiasm following NYC’s The Drums keeps building. Their full-on self-titled album will be out on September 14th, and they’re touring with Surfer Blood all over the U.S. and Europe this fall, so… it’s only gonna get more hectic (in a good way)..

Check out their beautiful and moody video for “Down by the Water.” It’s like an episode from a perky 60s pop-music show — gone emo and funereal. Waaaaah…


Also just out… The boys have served up a cover of Arcade Fire’s “We Used to Wait.” Maybe you’ll like this one, too?

Mariah Carey Is Prepping a New Christmas Album. Consider Your Stocking Stuffed!


Speaking of stuffed…

Let it ho, let it ho, let it ho!

Whether she’s pregnant or not, Mariah Carey is definitely planning to drop at least one baby this holiday season. She’s gonna serve up her second Christmas album for the masses, to be titled Merry Christmas II You.

As you must recall, her 1994 Christmas album (titled aptly “Merry Christmas”) is a total classic (and I’m not being the slightest bit sarcastic; it’s legendary) as it spawned the best holiday tune in recent decades, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” But can the mad mama deliver again?

Word (and Idolator) has it that this new holiday tune-fest will be chock full of original material as well as covers of holiday classics. It’s due on November 2. And Rap-Up reports that cover was shot months ago with David LaChapelle. So it’d better be pretty!!!


No, this isn’t the new album cover. But sip on it for now…

Cee Lo Green’s “F**k You” Gets a Real Video! Cursing Was Never So Adorable!


The Ladykiller, Cee Lo Green.

THIS IS NSFW: Cover your ears kids, and I’m sure I probably can’t really post this without getting in trouble but… Here goes!

Cee-Lo Green’s viral hit “F**k You” has a new official video and it’s super-adorable. As always, I want a trio of nimble, sassy black ladies in shimmering dresses to follow me through life punctuating my triumphs and tragedies with sassy sing-along commentary… But until then, I’ll just enjoy this clip.

And who doesn’t love watching kids curse? Good stuff!!! It’s after the jump!

Chelsea Handler Is Secretly Involved with “A-List New York”? Let’s Hope…


“Are you there gays? It’s me, Chelsea!” And yes, that swimming pool is full of vodka.

At the risk of A-List New York-ing you to death, I had to toss up this bit from last night’s Chelsea Lately, in which Ms. Handler reveals that she has secretly been working behind-the-scenes at Logo, helping to make the world a gayer place. But not content to just create gay shows to brainwash American cable viewers, Chelsea’s bringing her gay mission back home, to her staff!
