Unabashed Casting Recall: James Franco as Allen Ginsberg
June 13th, 2010Thumbing through my LA Gay and Lezzie Film festival guide, I was forlorn to see a too-attractive wasp sitting at a typewriter wearing a white tee and Buddy Holly glasses with the word “HOWL” next to it and, moreover, the name “James Franco” under that. I say Goddamn! Put a hot guy in anything and gays will eat it up. Shit. Ginsberg wasn’t a hot Aryan, he was a handsome Jew. James Franco is a mere showpiece, a tart. Where’s Jeff Goldblum when you need him?
It's fun to be a gay beat poet!

You have to be in the back of the cast photo but you’re still the only funny cracker bitch.
Unabashed Literature: Raquel Welch “Beyond the Cleavage”
April 26th, 2010Actress, Mother, Designer of high-end wig line: What’s left to do? Write a shitty book.
From Amazon.com: Whether refusing to change her name to Debbie–because producers considered “Raquel” too ethnic–or to lie about her age, even to the detriment of her career, she has evolved elegantly over time into a true champion for women who defy traditional aging.
Along with bringing baby boomers into her confidence–she offers essential tips for staying motivated and positive past fifty, as well as divulging her secrets for fabulous hair and makeup–she even talks to today’s younger generation of women about the importance of carrying themselves with dignity and self-respect.

DEAD
All hopes of a Designing Women reunion dashed.
Fill in your own Julia Sugarbaker Rant Madlib then read it aloud in an old money southern accent. It feels good.
Unabashed Defecation: Do the Doo
March 30th, 2010
Okay, I used to dream of creating my own satire of the NOH8 campaign called NOSTR8 and maybe one day I’ll realize that dream. Until then, there is DEFEC8…and my Queerty article about it.

Unabashed Schooling: Sandra B. READS Kathy G.
February 25th, 2010I came across audio from the Howard Stern Show with guest Sandra Bernhard waxing poetic on fake, phony, and one shtick pony, Kathy Griffin.
Feasting on a Kathy Salad
Stern: We had Kathy Griffin here yesterday.
SB: Oh God. Jesus Christ.
Stern: Tell me your feelings. I want to know because you are an elder statesman of comedy.
SB: Well she’s no spring chicken but listen…she came to success late in life. She loves my ass and she’s come to see many times and she’s taken my basic premise which is to disseminate pop culture. However, when you’re somebody of my level and intellectual ability, I take it and I layer it. I don’t just throw a cake. I give you a seven-layer sacre torte. She came and took the base elements of what I did and–who can’t put on a Kate Gosselin wig and go “Gahgaghgahgahgah!” I mean that’s all she does, “Gahgahgahgahgah,” like a shrieking harpy freak. Every time she has a special on Bravo it’s the same fucking special every goddamn time. I’ve written fifteen shows in the past ten years and every one of them touches on something new and interesting that is really revealing where we’re headed as a culture. I don’t just jump into the waters of present culture. I’m on the precipice of what is happening.
