Family Guy’s Stewie Outed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Gossip
Creator and voice talent for Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane sat down recently to do an interview with Playboy. During the discussion, he mentioned that youngest member of the household Stewie (the diabolical baby with matricidal tendencies) is homosexual.
“We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out,” he revealed. Apparently, the episode revolved around Stewie’s problem with kids in school, resulting in a time-travel excursion to the writing of the Bible. MacFarlane says Stewie’s sexual preference explained “why he’s so hellbent on killing [Lois Griffin] and taking over the world. He has a lot of aggression, which comes from confusion and uncertainty about his orientation.”
I never knew so much thought and character development went into Family Guy, myself. The episode MacFarlane describes never made it to air, as it was decided to keep the matter ambiguous.
Not anymore!

Is Grey’s Anatomy Abandoning Its Gay Storylines?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip, News
It looks like Dr. Hahn won’t be seeing much more than leaves on Grey’s Anatomy after this week. Despite the buildup to Erica’s moment of clarity with Callie last Thursday, actress Brooke Smith has been let go from the show. This shocking news comes just as Hahn’s relationship with Dr. Torres was reaching a new level.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Smith revealed that the announcement - delivered by Shonda Rhimes herself - was made last month. Ironically, Brooke was informed of her departure right after the “leaves” episode was filmed. Unfortunately, the reasoning being the casting decision has been raising a lot of speculation. (Even Patrick Dempsey seemed clueless on today’s episode of Ellen.)

Clay Aiken to People: Yes, I’m Gay
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
All over America, girls are sobbing into pillows. One of the most seemingly eligible bachelors is off the market - at least as far as they’re concerned. Years of speculation, rumors and probing questions have finally come to an end.
That’s right. American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken is gay. As if we didn’t know.
The full story premieres in People’s newest issue, set to hit newsstands on Friday. “Yes, I’m gay,” reads the Aiken quote. If your jaw isn’t dropping, that’s okay - this guy has had “gay” written all over him from the word go, and the thought that anyone might really be thrown for a loop with this info is the real shocker.
Yes, Clay…we know you’re gay. We just can’t believe you’re finally ready to own it. “It was the first decision I made as a father,” said Aiken in his interview. “I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”

Will There Be A Male-Male Couple on DWTS?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, Rumors
If you thought talk about Paula Abdul trying to get on Dancing with the Stars was controversial, this piece of gossip might just top that one.
According to the New York Daily News, Lance Bass could soon become the second performer from ‘N Sync (the first being Joey Fatone) to demonstrate his dancing skills on the DWTS floor. The twist? The openly gay singer may supposedly be assigned to male partner.
While I have no problems with the reality show wanting to diversify (I don’t think they’ve even had an openly gay celebrity up until this point), do the producers really need to try the stunt pairing? Would this whole thing be more distracting than its worth? Shouldn’t Lance want to be judged on his own merits? And how exactly would the judges score any possible lifts anyway?
Then again - this all could just be a wild rumor. (Fingers still crossed.) You can expect the final lists of Season 7 contenders to be released sometime in August.

As the World Turns’ Gay Kiss
Back in January, we told you about a grassroots campaign some fans of As The World Turns had started.
Although the CBS sudser was the first soap to introduce a gay kiss, the program for some reason left the characters - and the viewers - wanting more.
Yesterday, 7 months later, the drama finally allowed Luke and Noah to show some more PDA:
Hallelujah! Who knew this issue would still be so controversial in 2008?

In the Mold: What Does it Take to Win American Idol?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
Kelly Clarkson. Fantasia Barrino. Taylor Hicks. Carrie Underwood. Ruben Studdard. Jordin Sparks. Put them together and it’s hard to find one common element - other than the fact that they can all sing. But here’s the thing - many of the contestants on American Idol can carry a tune. Winning the show takes a whole lot more than sensational singing. What does it take to win American Idol?
The hot button issue for this year’s crew of competitors is sexual orientation. The Internet community is alive with comments, videos, and hooplah regarding the sexual preference (real or imagined) of Season Seven’s best and brightest singing talents. As far as fans know, a homosexual has never won American Idol. Some say that one will never win on the show.

The Last Season for The L Word
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Showtime, Renewals
Showtime has just announced that it will be giving fans of The L Word a sixth and final season.
The drama - one of the longest-running series on the cable channel - debuted back in January 2004. The show, which initially drew attention because of its cast of primarily lesbian characters, was not the first gay-themed program for Showtime. Queer as Folk had already made its debut in 2000. (Folk closed up shop after five rounds.)
The last eight episodes of the series are slated for air in early 2009. Meanwhile, the current season’s finale is scheduled for March 23.

Daytime Dish: ‘GH’, ‘One Life to Live’, ‘As The World Turns’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, ABC, CBS, General Hospital, Gossip
Sarah Brown, the first of four actresses to play the role of Carly Corinthos, will be making a return to General Hospital. Interestingly enough, she won’t be there to take her old spot back (like Rebecca Budig recently did on All My Children). Brown will be making a splashy entrance as an entirely new character: Claudia Zacchara, mobster Johnny’s sister. (Don’t try and question how this could happen; Kelly Monaco played a different character on the vampire-filled Port Charles before she became Sam on the bloodsucker-less GH.)
Sarah, who originated the role of Carly back in 1996 (she left in 2001), will not only have a juicy face-to-face with the current Carly (played by Laura Wright), she’ll have a heated encounter of the bedroom kind with her old hubby, Sonny Corinthos. I can’t wait! Brown currently has a one-year contract with the daytime drama and is scheduled to make her debut on Thursday, Jan. 31.

Is Network TV Avoiding Gay Issues?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: ABC, Cable, CBS, NBC, Desperate Housewives, The Office, Gossip
A new report shows that seven stories on the five broadcast networks currently feature lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender characters this fall season. Last season, there were nine. According to a study by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the number has been steadily dropping for the past three years. Caitlin Down (played by Bonnie Somerville) on ABC’s Cashmere Mafia, which won’t even premiere until December, is the only non-heterosexual regular character to appear on a new show this year. According to the study, ABC features more non-heterosexual characters than any other broadcast network. Shows like Brothers & Sisters, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, and the new Cashmere Mafia all feature non-heterosexual characters. NBC’s The Office features one character to fit the gay and lesbian mold. The report shows that, currently, CBS and the CW have no non-heterosexual characters on any of their shows, but CBS does include gay and lesbian contestants on their reality shows. In sharp contrast, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender representation on cable is going through the roof, with 57 characters this year alone.
