Adam Sandler
Shankman and Sandler
to tell 'Bedtime Stories
Gay director Adam Shankman has one of the
summer's most anticipated movies coming up,
with his big-screen adaptation of the smash
Broadway musical "Hairspray."
But in the meantime, he's hardly coasting on
his laurels.
Shankman will team up with comedy super-
star Adam Sandler for
"Bedtime Stories," which
will star Sandler as a
stressed-out real estate
developer whose world
goes topsy-turvy when
the stories he makes up
for his niece and nephew
begin to come true.
Sandler, of course, will next be seen as a
straight New York City fireman who "marries"
his equally hetero co-worker Kevin James for
the benefits (no, not "those" benefits) in the
upcoming comedy "I Now Pronounce You
Chuck and Larry."
Chinese version of 'American Idol'
won't have gay undertones
"American Idol" brings an almost subver-
sively queer tone to prime-time TV, with view-
ers speculating about which of the contestants
might be gay (the current season offers no
shortage of candidates) to wondering when
Ryan and Simon will stop bickering and just
kiss already.
But now that an "IdoF'-esque program is air-
ing in China, there are significant changes afoot.
In a mandate that might as well read "Quit
flouncing it up, Mary," the State Administration
of Radio, Film, and Television demanded that
the show "Happy Boys Voice" (an all-male fol-
io w-up to "Super Girls Voice") include "no
weirdness, no vulgarity, no low taste," and no
shots of either screaming fans or teary-eyed los-
ing contestants. Oh, and the judges are prohibit-
ed "from mocking or humiliating contestants."
Heidi Fei
Can we at least send them Paula Abdul to
lighten things up?
Heidi Fleiss' all-male brothel to
be focus of TV documentary
Documentarians Fenton Bailey and Randy
Barbato are fearlessly eclectic when it comes to
their choice of subject matter.
Since breaking through with the 1998 docu-
mentary "Party Monster," they have examined
everything from Tammy
Faye Bakker to rent boys,
showbiz flops to trans-
gender teens, gays in
Hollywood to gay
Republicans.
Now the directors of
"Inside Deep Throat" are
following infamous
"Hollywood Madam"
Heidi Fleiss out to Nevada, to document her
opening of an all-male brothel. Alas, Heidi's
Stud Farm caters exclusively to a female clien-
tele, but what gay man wouldn't want a peek
behind the scenes at a tomcat-house?
Wachowskis rev up adaptation fo
Japanese cartoon 'Speed Racer'
After "The Matrix" and "V for Vendetta," the
Wachowskis could hardly go bigger, stranger or
wilder for their next project, lest they wind up
with a movie so outrageously visionary and out
of this world that only dogs could hear it.
But the hit-making siblings — one can't real-
ly call them "brothers" anymore, since Larry is
reportedly somewhere in the MTF transitioning
process — will no doubt deliver plenty of
action with their adaptation of the hit Japanese
cartoon "Speed Racer."
Emile Hirsch (who played the gay lead in
"The Mudge Boy" and was last seen in "Alpha
Dog") will have the title role.

Do you think women should have
the right to choose to have an abortion?
' I just don't think it's
right for a person to
kiil a human being.
Even though they
aren't born yet, they
have hearts. They're
human."
Joey Gaska

f
"They should have
that right —

absolutely, no ques- Joe Barentine

Attorney
"I don't think they
should get an abor-
tion. The baby has a
soul, just like we do.
They're just not on Ricky Douthit
the outside yet." Student
"Yes. My mother's
sister tried to self-
abort in the 1930s in
a bathtub-style abor-
tion and killed her-
self. As opposed as I
am personally to
abortion, it should be
legal."
"I am a strong advo-
cate of women's
rights — even those
who haven't been
born yet. I'm opposed
to abortion on multi-
ple levels, including
psychological and
biological ones."
Richard Longstaff
Store owner
Daniel Herlihy
Medical doctor
"I just think it's a
woman's choice. It's
our right. It's our
body."
"No. I can't kill you.
Why should you be
able to kill a baby.
It's a human being
from the moment of
conception."

Karen Daly
Homemaker
"Yes. When it comes
down to it, we're the
ones who are going
to have to take care
of the baby."
"Yes and no. Under
some circumstances,
such as being raped
or being too young I
think it's OK. For the
others, they knew the
consequences when
they opened their
legs."
Jennifer Donahue
Assistant Manager
Shannon Risher
Marketing director
Viola Shipman
Bartender
"Yes. A woman's body
is her temple and it's
her choice about
what to do with it. No
one should have con-
trol over another per-
son's body — men or
women."
