Stunt Casting Over the Rainbow

I'm allegedly going to see “End of the Rainbow” this Saturday, the new Broadway show about "the consequences of Judy Garland's fame, set six months before her fatal overdose in 1969." It sounds promising -- "a tabloid portrait of Garland in twilight: Judy drinks! Judy swears! Judy falls! Judy throws an ashtray at her soon-to-be fifth husband, Mickey Deans!" -- although I'm completely confused about one thing. Patrick Healy profiles its star in Sunday's New York Times and apparently they've cast a biological woman to play Liza's legendary mama. Can this be right?

RIP, Corbin Fisher Star 'Sean' (Matthew Edison Bremer)

Don't know anything about this one, but it's always sad to see someone young die, an occurrence that seems all too frequent in the gay porn business. More about the 22-year-old's death HERE.

Novak Attack!

Bummer that Rafael Nadal had to default his semifinal in Miami. But Novak Djokovic looked like his 2011 self in defeating Andy Murray, whose distance from the top 3 seems to grow larger each passing week.
