Holiday Weekend Birthdays! Joe Dallesandro (above) is 67, Joey McIntyre is 43, Bebe Neuwirth is 57, Sir Ben Kingsley is 72, Sir Anthony Hopkins is 78, Taye Diggs is 44, and Todd Haynes is 54

This will be the last Briefs of the year, so I'd like to wish all of you a very happy and safe New Year's Eve and holiday weekend. The Briefs will be back on Monday (unless I imbibe some bad eggnog again)

Since this is the end of the year, it's time for our sad but obligatory tradition, In Memoriam: Honoring The Gay TV Characters We Lost This Year. This is our sixth annual! last look at the gay men we lost on TV due to cancellation, death, or straightwashing. All throughout the Briefs we'll be paying tribute. These aren't the only gay TV characters we lost, but these guys deserve special mention.

Speaking of the In Memoriam, here's a former honoree.

I think I made it through the holiday food binge and an 8-month recovery from a double vertebrae injury relatively unscathed. Incredibly relieved and thankful. Still setting the bar high for 2016. Have you thought about your resolutions yet?

Here's the Friday Puzzler! "Cleans Up Well"

NOTE - Because this is a short week (with only three Briefs), it would be unfair to rush through a Weekly ShoutOUT™, so we'll pick back up on Monday.

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 #36 is "Emotion In Motion" by Ric Ocasek

Ric Ocasek had his only hit outside The Cars with this fragile, lovely ballad that was far removed from anything his group recorded (but then, so was "Drive," one of the greatest pop songs of the decade). "Emotion In Motion" peaked at #15 in November 1986, and is best remembered for it's Legend-esque video.

Congrats to jazz, who guessed that yesterday's Pixuzzle™ © ® was Sisters.

Here's today's Pixuzzle™ © ®. Here is a scene from a FAMOUS MOVIE. Can you name it?
