Rupert gets botoxicated
Ever-opinionated Everett shows off new face on Martha Stewart
B0T0XYM0R0N: Everett, before — laughlines and snow dusting his hair, left, and Everett last Friday, plugging "Blithe Spirit" on "Martha Stewart."
Last week, Rupert Everett scored tons of ink
when he went off about "Abercrombie and
stollers" trends in queer parenting.
"This whole idea of two gay guys filling a
cocktail shaker with their sperm and impregnat-
ing some grim lesbian and then it gets cut out is
just really weird," Everett told Daily Beast inter-
viewer Kevins Sessums.
Then on Friday, the actor was plugging his
new Broadway show, "Blithe Spirit," on Martha
Stewart and unveiled his almost unrecognizable
puss.
He looks pulled just a little too tight—almost
waxen.
Funny, in that Daily Beast interview, he
mocked his gay brothers for being "egocentric
and vain" in their desire to have children.
After getting a look at his new look, it's pret-
ty obvious that the highly opinionated actor
knows all about vanity.
Studying the before-and-after photos of the
49-year-old actor, Dr. Brian S. Glatt, founder of
the Premier Plastic Surgery Center of New
Jersey, told Star mag, "I think Rupert had a face-
lift."

Rob Halford keeps it 'Briital'
Everyone's favorite gay heavy metal legend,
Judas Priest's Rob Halford, knows that true
metal is no joke. But it can be a video game.
After the massive success of "Guitar Hero"
and "Rock Band" it was only a matter of time
before a new wave of video game heavy metal
began invading those game stores that exist in
every mall now.
The latest is called "Briital Legend" and is
about a headbanger transported into a world of
metal where he battles evil with his magic-pow-
ers-filled Flying V guitar. Joining Halford in
voicing characters for the game will be Lemmy
from Motorhead, Jack Black, Ronnie James Dio
and Lita Ford.
But remember, you have to use the umlaut
when you spell the title or it's not as brutal.
NBC emerald-lights 'Dorothy Gale'
If you're an American gay man, it's a statisti-
cal likelihood (but not a metaphysical certainty)
that you're a fan of both "The Wizard of Oz"
and "Ugly Betty." And if you've been waiting
for someone to put your "Oz" chocolate into
your "Betty" peanut butter, wait no more.
A new pilot for NBC called "Dorothy Gale"
transplants the plucky L. Frank Baum heroine to
the modern day Our heroine moves from her
home in Kansas to the glittering city of
Manhattan, where she gets a job in the art world
and has to contend with a — wait for it —
"wicked" boss. If the network doesn't put it to
sleep with the poppies, "Dorothy Gale" could
land on TV this fall.
Octomom branding
Nadia Suleman always claimed that she
detested the name "Octomom," but now the
future reality TV star wants to license the name
for stuff like diapers.
On April, 10, an application was filed on her
behalf with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office by her lawyer fired off a letter to a
Houston novelty company that had filed a
trademark claim a month earllier, claiming they
had no legal rights to the word. However,
Suleman didn't coin the word either.

The end of 'Lives'
Creator-director Del
Shores told Dallas
Voice that there will be
only the one season of
"Sordid Lives: The
Series." Season 2 is
kaput, and there's still
no word on season 1
coming out on DVD.
Instant-Tea com-
menter Greg Harrison
says: " WHAT?!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOU! I
can't believe LOGO
would let this show get
away from them! I
have NEVER been so excited about a show. As a
gay man in the South it may be closer to my
heart than some others, but I found in it a
humor and poignancy that transcended the
usual boundaries of gay programming. And that
PHENOMENAL cast— how they got them in
the first place is a mystery to me, I'm dying to
know what happens to everyone, GRRRR!
Maybe this will not be the case and Logo will
wise up before it's too late?! If you find out an
way for us to protest or support the show,
PLEASE let us know!"
Fundies unleash anti-'Day of Silence' propaganda
Instant-Tea commenter Lakewoodhobo says:
" This is the longest, most boring piece-of-sh!t
propaganda film I've ever seen. Even the most
hard-core fundie will fall asleep by the end of
the first minute,"
Ready for teabagging?
For months, rightwingers have been planning
to "teabag" President Obama in a tax protest on
April 15. We got an e-mail from
HumanEvents.com, the "headquarters of the
conservative underground." It said, in big bold
letters, "Update: Your Tea Bag Might Be on TV
April 15th!"
Was this a warning for people to check their
bedrooms for hidden cameras?
'Gay' elephant angers Polish politician
A Polish politician is angry at his local zoo
for acquiring a "gay" elephant named Ninio,
who prefers male companions and will probably
not procreate.
"We didn't pay 37 million zlotys [almost
$12 mil] for the largest elephant house in
Europe to have a gay elephant live there,"
Michal Grzes, a conservative councilor in the
city of Poznan in western Poland, told Reuters.
"We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio
prefers male friends over females how will he
produce offspring?"
The head of the Poznan zoo said 10-year-old
Ninio may be too young to decide whether he
prefers males or females, as elephants only
reach sexual maturity at 14.
