A housekeeping note - You may have noticed a lack of posts on The Backlot page. Going forward, the TBL page will be just for the regular TBL columns (Briefs, soaps), and the few recaps we still do. You'll be able to find standalone posts from TBL writers on the main NNN page, along with the fabulous work that our colleagues at NNN do.

And I will feature links to the best that the main page has to offer everyday in Briefs, so ...

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 ... Greg Berlanti

Closing out our week with Greg, on a personal level, he's had a high-profile, on-again, off again relationship with our soccer star Robbie Rogers (is it back on again?), and professionally, he's been a godsend to superhero fans, helping bring Arrow, Flash, and the upcoming Supergirl and Legends Of Tomorrow to the small screen.


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 #81 is "Downtown Train" by Patty Smyth

The second single from Patty's stellar solo debut album Never Enough was also its second flop single. The title track (which was on the first Lost Hits list) peaked at #61, but Patty's cover of the Tom Waits song "Downtown Train" debuted at #95 in June 1987, which is where it peaked, dropping off the chart after just two weeks. WTF? Of course, Rod Stewart would go on to hit #3 in 1990 with his version. Oh, and we'll be seeing Patty (and her old bandmates) later.
