Kylie Minogue & Rufus Wainwright Duet in the Hamptons!


Best cabaret act ever? Kylie Minogue and Rufus Wainwright onstage, selling it in the Hamptons.

And you thought your weekend was gay!

Kylie Minoque and Rufus Wainwright teamed up onstage this past Saturday night in Watermill in the Hamptons (that’s out on swanky Long Island, NY) for an artsy benefit, and the results were pretty darn festive.

I’m afraid you’ll have to endure some low-quality YouTube videos to get a sampling of the sass they served, but they teamed up for versions of some of Kylie’s best gems, including “All the Lovers,” “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”, the 70s classic “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”, a really fab take on the Rodgers and Hammerstein Carousel classic “If I Loved You” (which Wainwright aptly dubbed a “perfect duet for a gay guy and straight girl”) and an especially bluesy version of “Locomotion.”

Watch a full, very grainy version of “Locomotion” or a better-quality snippet of part of the song.


Awwww… How cute are they?

“Logo Drama Club” – Episode 25: Gossiping About Next Year’s B’way Season With The Cast of ‘Keep Your Baggage…’

A lot of Broadway news has been thrown our way over the summer. From Women on the Verge to How To Succeed, let’s be honest, it’s been a lot to take in. I had to talk it out with someone. Preferably the cast of an original play kicking off a theatrical festival in downtown Manhattan.

“Keep Your Baggage With You At All Times” is being put on as part of Theater For The New City’s brand new “DreamUp Festival” to support new works. The play, told in seven scenes, follows the course of two men’s relationship over several years. But the only course I was interested in was DISH.

Driving Miss Daisy sounds great, but how are they gonna do the car?? How marketable really are singing nuns? These good people helped me answer these questions and more.
