Danny Pintauro declares "HIV is the new closet."
"I have said numerous times in the last two months that HIV is the new closet. What I have not said is that I do not believe the media can handle this closet the same way they handled the gay closet. In other words, I think it is completely unethical for anyone to release this actor’s name without his consent, and I think they have already crossed the line by simply listing his ex-girlfriends. "
Roce McGowan slams Caitlyn Jenner: "You don't understand what being a woman is all about"
"Woman of the year? No, not until you wake up and join the fight. Being a woman comes with a lot of baggage. The weight of unequal history. You’d do well to learn it. You’d do well to wake up. Woman of the year? Not by a long f**king shot.”

— ADAM LAMBERT (@adamlambert) November 18, 2015Carly Simon has finally revealed that the subject of her classic "You're So Vain" is .... Warren Beatty! Well, just the second verse. The other verses refer to two other men, but she's not naming names yet.

"Trade magazine Broadcast reports that executives are looking at The Good Life, Are You Being Served?, Up Pompeii!, Keeping Up Appearances and Porridge as programmes that could possibly return for specials. If the plans come to fruition each show would come back for a one-off 30-minute special, but with the potential to then continue on to a series if the episode proves popular."
I've seen Keeping Up Appearances and Are You Being Served?, but I'm unfamiliar with the others. What do you think, UK readers?
We all want a little Ricky in the morning.
And here's The Weekly ShoutOUT™. Each week we're going to focus on one out athlete/performer and feature a daily pic and career timeline. We'll be showcasing the big names, but also the lesser-known gay and bisexual celebs who deserve more recognition. This week we give a ShoutOUT™ to ... Todd Graff
Todd's most well-remembered film role was as Alan "Hippy" Carnes in James Cameron's 1988 The Abyss. Don't touch his rat!
Three years ago I presented my personal favorite Briefs list, The 100 Greatest Lost Hits of The 80's, and because if there's one thing Hollywood has taught us, it's that sequels and reboots and remakes are ALWAYS better then the original, we're going to the well again with The 100 Greatest Lost Hits of The 80's Part 2: The Even More Forgotten
We'll be spotlighting 100 more of the greatest minor hits of the decade, the songs you don’t hear on any 80’s nostalgia show. Songs that missed the top ten, or top twenty … or top forty. Hopefully these forgotten gems may ring a long dormant bell, or for younger readers, provide a pop music history lesson.
At #64 is "You Came" by Kim Wilde
Kim only hit the U.S. top 40 twice, with the Certified Snicks 80's Classic "Kids In America," and her #1 remake of "You Keep Me Hanging On." But she almost had a third Top 40 entry with "You Came," which hit #41 in October 1988.
In 2006 Kim remade "You Came" with a rock edge.
