What to get a Gay Man to Valentine's Day

With all the adding the word 'man' to everything like man-purse, man-scape and the insufferable 'man up!', this year women are concerned about what to get their men for Valentine's Day. I saw an old episode of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," in which Sabrina didn't know what to get her boyfriend Havery and her aunt had suggested a romantic gondola ride on the Milky Way. Many people suggest getting lingerie or editable underwear for the woman to show off to her man. But what does a person get when they are just starting dating and not yet engaging in sexual relationship or what to get a gay man? Now, an ingorant person would say you could get a gay guy a purse or dress, but that's not the case.

Chocolates, always good, but now in this day of high sugar, carbs, transfats, and cavities, most nlikely candy will not be received well.

Cards, the best thing. Time tested and mother approved.

Flowers, now here it can get tricky. Roses are acceptable but at best one rose is appropriate. A bouquet is too much if you just starting dating. But, of course, if you are both in a long-term relationship for years and out and open, a bouquet is fine.

Sexy underwear is also acceptable.

Josh Brolin hears my 'woo' on the Tonight Show

I was in the audience of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on January 26th with guest Josh Brolin (The Goonies, Milk, No Country for Old Men).

I 'wooed' in the monologue when Jay mentioned 'gay' and booed when he said about the intern, but that didn't come out. Then with Josh Brolin, I 'wooed' after Jay said Milk. It didn't come off on camera, I thought everyone was going to 'woo' but they didn't so I lowered my voice. I was surprised that he heard me! Then when he said there was only one gay guy, I 'wooed' loudly but I guess someone else did too.

Kyle XY Canceled

I have covered the show a lot but I have to be honest but I haven't been watching. Season Three started a couple of weeks ago but I was away for three weeks and my hotel room had no ABC Family; and when I returned, "Heroes" started and I have no TiVo. I watched it last night but it is a bit too slow-moving and some things had changed so I couldn't keep up. Oh!! Kyle XY has free full episodes on the ABC Family website? I had no idea, I'm gonna catch up then! It has been announced that it has been canceled, no explanation given, no proper series finale will be made, the March 16 season finale's last 20 secs will have a cliffhanger.

Bradley Cooper on SNL

I was thrilled to find out Bradley Cooper was hosting tonight Saturday Night Live. He was understandably thrilled to be hosting the show. He had to remind the audience what movies he has been on, he mentioned Wedding Crashers and talked about how he has been bullies. Well, I think he has played more buddies than anything... like in Yes Man and Failure to Launch.

RuPaul's Drag Race

A new reality show that takes all other reality shows under the tires, it is a combo of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway." Here is the premise:

Join RuPaul, the world's most famous drag queen, as the host, mentor and judge for "RuPaul's Drag Race," Logo's new reality series which will be the ultimate in drag queen competitions. The top 9 drag queens in the U.S. will vie for drag stardom as RuPaul, in full glamazon drag, will reign supreme in all judging and eliminations, while the debonair Mr. RuPaul will help guide the contestants as they prepare for each challenge. Contestants include the nation's hottest most glamorous drag queens, including one voted in by you online!

Each week, joining RuPaul on the judges panel, are fashion journalist and best-selling author Merle Ginsberg and Project Runway breakout star and designer Santino Rice, plus a bevy of celebrity guest judges including: Bob Mackie (Designer), Michelle Williams (Destiny's Child), Lucy Lawless (actress), Maria Conchita Alonso (actress/singer), Robin Antin (creator of The Pussycat Dolls), Debra Wilson (Mad TV), Jenny Shimizu (model/actress), Tori Spelling (actress), Dean McDermott (actor), Howard Bragman (Author of "Where's My Fifteen Minutes?") and Frank Gatson (choreographer).

Each cast member must embody the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that made RuPaul an international drag superstar. The judges will determine the bottom two contestants of the week. Those contestants then compete in a show-stopping battle-royal "lip-synch for your life" performance that will determine if they will "shante" and stay and who will "sashay" away until one is crowned America's next Drag Queen Superstar!

It airs on Logo but VH1 showed an episode today, it has been praised by Entertainment Weekly. RuPaul, who was hilarious in Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild, does her best Tim Gunn in men's clothes and also her best Tyra Banks superbitch. Amazingly enough, when the gang starts, they aren't bitching to each other, they are actually quite tame. And like with any drag queen, they all look completely different in their regular man form than their drag form. Of course, there is the stand-out hotness, the Asian one, the bitch, the Latina bad accent macho-looking one, the bad accent one, the involved-in-herself one, the old wise one and the nerd. Rebecca Glasscock's regular man form is super hot. I think this is the only project RuPaul has enjoyed, because this is what he knows and he reveals in it and he can bring it to the world.

Some of the show is definitely uber-into gay and drag culture, so for the layperson, I dunno if they will feel included. In order to be more relatable, the audience sees the gang in their man forms. These bitches are so much more talented than the Project Runway bitches in forming an outfit on the fly. Now, people can say that the show is ridiculous and dumb, but this is bringing real reality to people: Drag Queens, they are out there and you got to see them. I think they are often shoved away, even in gay culture and they need to be expose for the brave ones they are. I am so proud that big stars like Lucy Lawless, Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling are on this show.

Dike joke in SNL

The opening sketch featured Jason Sudeikis as Rod Blagojevich being interview by Abbie Elliott (Daughter of Chris Elliott!) as Rachel Maddow and now that Jason is playing more jackasses, he says, "I feel like a dutch boy with his finger in a dike." And he made two nods towards Rachel and saying that she would know he was talking about. Crude but funny.
