Gaycation (All He Ever Wanted)

This Biloxi newsman sounds smart. Seen HERE.

Sunset People

You only have to seethis old photo of the Go-Go's partying with John Belushi to know these were not the "girls next door." 

Kathy Valentine recalls: 

My second gig with The Go-Go's, Dec.1980! John became a great pal after this night, good times, late night jams at Guitar Center on Sunset, stealing beer from 7-11!

Three-Point Routine

 I wonder if Hannah Horvath wrote the copy for this GQ grooming-products advertorial, which manages to even make "abortion contract" hoops star J.J. Redick look squeaky clean.

'I Am Divine' Gets Gussied Up

"I Am Divine: The True Story of the Most Beautiful Woman in the World" -- Jeffrey Schwartz's love letter to best drag queen ever -- will debut digitally April 1st and on DVD April 8th. The release will feature bonus materials including commentary and more than 30 minutes of deleted scenes. Order yours HERE.

The Emperor's New Cockring

I saw and then forgot to write about James Franco's "Interior. Leather Bar.," which probably tells you all you need to know about it. When pressed by the film's (confused) leading actor -- pal Val Lauren -- Franco admits he's not entirely sure what the point of the project is, but adds that he thinks it's messed up that he's a little uneasy about seeing two men have sex -- "because society brainwashed me with nothing but images of straight people having sex" -- so perhaps this is righting the wrong. It won't -- it's so pornographic lite that no one but gay men will ever see it -- but that's not to say Franco's heart isn't in the right place. It's just a shame no one seems to be willing to tell Franco when to pick and choose his moments. He's like the gay-friendly boy who cried wolf, and one of these days he's gonna do something really worthwhile related to LGBT issues and it will probably be greeted with a thank-you and a yawn.

Song of the Day: 'Rules & Regulations' by Cyndi Lauper

I thought we'd dug up everything there was to be had when my friend Greg and I produced a two-disc collection of Cyndi Lauper b-sides and rarities (below) back in 2004, but now comes the release of "Rules and Regulations," a rather delightful rehearsal demo from the "She's So Unusual" era. To mark the 30th anniversary of Lauper's classic solo debut, it will receive its own two-disc treatment, out on April 1 and featuring demos, rehearsals, B-sides, live tracks, and remixes, including "Rules & Regulations," which you can learn more about HERE.

UPDATE: Nice piece "by" Cyn in today's Wall Street Journal HERE.
