'The Event' on DVD


Did anyone see this film from a few years ago called "The Event"? (I'm just reading about it today.) It stars Parker Posey and Olympia Dukaksis (among others) and is described as a relationship drama that takes the form of a mystery centering around a series of unexplained deaths that occur among the gay community in Chelsea. Nick (Posey), a district attorney investigating the most recent case (a suspicious apparent suicide), and her interviews with friends and family of the deceased trigger extensive and intricately interwoven flashbacks that reveal surprising facts about the man's life and death from complications of AIDS.

The trailer looks great (view it here). My sources tell me the film won several awards back in 2003 but was sorely missed by many in the gay community. You can buy the DVD here and it's available on NetFlix now too.

'The One' AIDS Benefit T-shirt


My blog pals Steph & Alek over at OhLaLaParis have worked to create a special T-shirt ("The One") that benefits the charity Aid for AIDS.

As you can see in the photos above, the shirt is a great way to look stylish and do something good for your fellow man. Check out all the details here.

Page 1 Consider (11/17)


  • Danny Boy: Last week I reported that "Real World: New Orleans" dreamboat Danny Roberts had called it quits with his longtime (military) beau, Paul. I'd read about it online on the Advocate.com but came across the hard copy at my vet's office yesterday (for $471.30 I decided it was OK to steal the magazine). I've updated the post to include this oh-so-necessary photograph of Danny today. He says that while he was selling real estate a couple years ago, many people were contacting him who weren't actually interested in buying a house. Imagine that. (kenneth in the 212)

  • Prisoner Cell Block H(omo): Ever since I posted about my friend's crush on hunky prisoner Shawn yesterday, the recommendations just keep pouring in. Here are some highlights: Mark: "this guy is kind of hot but doesn't get out for 20 years"; Seth: "this guy seems really angry - nice fish, though"; Jason: "this guy's hot too and may get out sooner than expected. i love how he starts his likes with "when i'm not in here . . . " (Meet-an-Inmate.com)

  • Tight Ass, Loose Lips: Say it isn't so: personal trainers gossip behind their clients' backs?! (NYT)

  • My Kind of Monkey Business: From male killer whales that ride the dorsal fin of another male to female bonobos that rub their genitals together, the animal kingdom -- unlike most of the world -- tolerates all kinds of lifestyles. A first-ever museum display, "Against Nature?," which opened last month at the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum in Norway, presents 51 species of animals exhibiting homosexuality.

  • UnMentionables: One man's quest for the perfect pair of underwear. Boxers or briefs? No. Boxer-briefs? Try again. (NYT)

  • Shiny Happy People? The next time you are deciding between ice cream and cake, buying a car or taking a trip to Europe, accepting a new job or keeping your old one, you should remember two things: First, your decision is rooted in the desire to become happy -- or at least happier than you are now. Second, there's a good chance the decision you make will be wrong. (CNN)

  • Power Bloggers: When Bill Maher went on "Larry King Live" and alleged that Ken Mehlman was gay, it was too much detail for CNN, which edited the remarks out of later broadcasts and off the transcript on its Web site. But the remarks couldn't be edited out of cyberspace, where they remain available, along with virtually everything else these days. Maher's comments last week, and a series of recent coming-out announcements by Hollywood figures responding to persistent rumors, show just how much the Internet has changed the rumor mill, and consequently the process of "outing" celebrities.

  • Blog Central: Any hockey fans out there? If so, check out my pal Evan Grossman's new blog on NHL.com. He's even buddies with Islanders hottie Rick DiPietro. (NHL.com)

  • Here Comes the Bride: My favorite Korean tranny is getting hitched. Best wishes. (KoreanTimes)

  • One for the Gals: Logo channel has begun production on a new lesbian sitcom. "Exes and Ohs" follows the romantic entanglements of Jennifer (Michelle Paradise) and her gay pals in caffeinated Seattle. One of those friends is Crutch, a wannabe rock star played by gay actress Heather Matarazzo. The sitcom is based on the short film "The Ten Rules: A Lesbian Survival Guide" and will premiere in 2007.

  • Sexiest Man Alive: Eric Dane



    Who knew that the erstwhile TV Guide was more in tune with what's sexy than People magazine? George who???
