Photos: Levi Johnston Arrives in NYC; All Aboard the Playgirl Bait Bus!
Levi Johnston arrives at Newark airport on Saturday night (via Alaska Airlines, of course); his big Playgirl photo shoot is set for this coming Friday. All photos by Todd Kancar.
Here are some entertaining pics of political prodigal man-child Levi Johnston arriving in NYC (via Newark airport) this past Saturday night. The shade-sporting, soon-to-bare-all hockey-pup was accompanied by his rather large manager Tank Jones, and greeted upon arrival by Playgirl magazine spokesperson and NYC nightlife impresario Daniel Nardicio. And, a few reporter types from TMZ, Entertainment Tonight, Life & Style, etc.
Nardicio brought his notorious Playgirl van (which has its own stories to tell) to squire Johnston into the city, where no doubt the Palin nemesis will continue his serious workout regime before baring his junk for the Playgirl cameras this coming Friday. Which begs the question: Can this gig actually live up to the hype? And how long will Johnston's comfort level with this d*ck-dangling circus last, do you think?
Here's some more info from the airport press frenzy: Evidently, the FIRST question Levi got from the press in the airport was from Life & Style Magazine, and the reporter asked, "Levi, how do you feel about Playgirl being for gay men?" Levi's answer was a drama-free "Whatever." And his manager Tank Jones responded: "WHO THE F**K CARES? We're all the same underneath!"
The Best Global Destination winner is Rio de Janeiro. I've never been but I know it's all about the Carnival madness and sex, sex, sex. At least in my imagination it is.
Those smart folks at GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which is the big national education group focused on ensuring safe schools for all students) have a clever new print-PSA campaign out to educate and curb the use of anti-gay slang among youth. It's part of their Think B4 You Speak initiative. (They also did the TV ads with Wanda Sykes and Hilary Duff a while back.)
I saw this reported on Wired.com, who dug the "Gamer Guy" version of the PSA above. But after the jump, you'll see "jock" and "cheerleader" versions, too. Nice work, GLSEN!
Check out more images and info from the campaign after the jump!
RuPaul's Drag Race Hopeful Arrested for Assaulting Mayor! Meow!
And you thought Shannel was intense juggling on the runway!!!! The mayor of Mulberry, Florida (a nice little town near Tampa) was attacked by his live-in lover, who just happens to be campaigning to be a contest on the next season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Watch out, Ru! Chyna might be coming for you!
According to 10 Connects local news in Tampa, Mulberry Mayor Julian Mullis lives with his two kids, and his lover Eugene Ornelas. Early Monday morning, Ornelas brought a guy home from a club, and soon after he and the Mayor got into a argument. Soon, "articles" were being thrown (pumps? wigs? shade?) and the police were called. Evidently, it's not Ornelas' first run-in with the cops.
Ornelas is also known as the drag performer Chyna, who just happens to be putting his heels in the ring to appear on Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race! You can check out Chyna's pics, her video links and view her profile now! In fact, Chyna had been using her Twitter account to boost her votes. Attagirl!

National Drag History Month: A Pretty & Witty Interview with High-Profile Drag Queen Linda Simpson
Ladies and Gentleman, your hostess, Linda Simpson!
Linda Simpson is the Fran Lebowitz of the NYC drag scene. Only less rumpled. She's the sharp wit, the smart cookie, the funny hostess, the savvy writer, the sly comedienne... And she's been doing it forever!
Somewhere between 1987 and 1992 Linda founded My Comrade magazine, "the revolutionary gay magazine," which was a compendium of art and words celebrating downtown NYC in all of it's twisted, draggy, hard-living, high-art, grungy pre-Giuliani hey-day. She cut her teeth in the NYC club scene alongside such talents as Lady Bunny, RuPaul, Sweetie and Misstress Formika, and Linda was also a cohost of the legendary gay cable show Party Talk in the mid-90s!
Basically, Linda's never stopped. MyComrade.com thrives now as a blog. And Linda also has found time to work as a magazine editor at Time Out New York, a playwright (her play The Bad Hostess recently debuted in NYC) and a bon vivant, a weekly bingo hostess and cultural superstar.
Paper Magazine even dubbed Linda "the thinking woman's drag queen." Such a brainy girl... But still very popular!
Please enjoy an interview with Linda after the jump. It's short! After all, brevity is the soul of wit. And so is Linda!
No big shocker here. Jon Stewart and The Daily Show crew, pretty much nailed all of yesterday's inaugural pomp and circumstance. Just watch and enjoy...
And below, Stewart visited with gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, who delivered an invocation at Sunday's Lincoln Memorial shindig. And Bishop Gene is a hoot! He even one-ups Stewart with a "queen" joke. Attagay!
