"Mad Men" Fabulous Quotient: Betty's Beautiful Binge
14 May 2012 5:03 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
We're owed an apology after last night's episode of Mad Men, because it just re-confirmed everything we know about this klatch of swingin' victims: Betty's petty, Pete is pete-thetic, Megan is a responsible and understanding diplomat in the nightmarish Draper cult, Peggy is Lady Bird Johnson's superfly niece, and Roger is a thin rectangle with some silver on it. Oh, and Don? He is Don right now, which is neither a compliment nor an insult. He simply remains the most static and uninteresting character on the show, and he shows no sign of upending his unthinkably monotonous arc. Fortunately, I was still able to unearth five fuh-haaaaabulous moments from last night's investigation of Betty's lingering resentment, Ginsberg's quirky rage, and Sally Draper's potential to be an adorable version of Aileen Wuornos someday. Let's clap at some fabulous things, gents and gentleladies.
1. Forget 1966: Megan's autumnal ensemble is all ready for the '70s. »

Watch: Meredith Baxter On Coming Out: 'The Best Possible Thing I Could Have Done'
31 March 2012 6:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Meredith Baxter, 64, has been an actress for more than 40 years. She is best known as Elyse Keaton -- the flower-child mom of Michael J. Fox's straight-laced Alex Keaton on program "Family Ties," which ran from 1982 to 1989. But baby boomers may remember her in her first sitcom, "Bridget Loves Bernie" on CBS in 1972, and her run on the show "Family" from 1976 to 1980.
What they likely didn't know is that Baxter struggled with alcoholism for years, putting herself and her children in danger. Baxter has been married three times and has five children, and in December 2009, when the tabloids began writing about her relationship with a woman, she came out about as a lesbian in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show.
In this moving video, Baxter talks about how she conquered alcohol, and why coming out was the best decision she ever made. »

Event Report – Teen Wolf Reunion Screening!
22 February 2012 1:39 AM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
There are few things in this world that rival my love of horror cinema, but one of them is most definitely the sub-genre known as the “80′s comedy”. There’s something really special about almost all of the comedies (and hell even the dramas) of that era. Even the not so good ones at the very least had heart. And one film that I hold in the highest possible regard is Rod Daniel’s 1985 feature film debut Teen Wolf starring (at the time) TV sensation Michael J. Fox. Although shot before Back To The Future, the movie didn’t get a proper release until after that flick was huge at the box office. And over the years with the help of the home video market and non-stop HBO airings, the cult following for Teen Wolf only grew larger and larger eventually spawning a sequel, an animated television series (!) and most »

The AfterEllen.com Hottest Irl Lesbian Couples
14 February 2012 8:44 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
After a week of voting, we've tallied up your picks and are ready to present to you the top five lesbian couples you chose as the hottest. The number one and two couple were only a few hundred away from one another, blowing the competition out of the water. But numbers three, four and five did not make a poor showing: they still brought in the votes to bring them above the twenty other partnerships on the list.
It's interesting to note that at least three of these couples are married. There's also a lot of blonde going on, with every pairing having at one fair-haired woman. They range from models to musicians to actors to fitness gurus to comedians to activists, so you also seem to appreciate variety when it comes to talents. But above all, they're hot, and that's why your votes placed them all so high on the list. »

Switched at Birth Sneak Peeks: Meredith Baxter Guest Stars as Kathryn's Mother Tonight
Last week's episode of Switched at Birth focused a lot on Angelo. First, he and Regina slept together after their kiss in the salon and Regina confessed to Daphne that she may never have fallen out of love with him. Kathryn also seemed to warm up to him after bumping into him at the farmers' market. She decided to invite him over for dinner and even Daphne seemed to accept his presence in the family. But a Pi had finally managed to uncover the information Angelo was trying to hide: he was wanted in Italy after beating up a friend who had slept with his fiance. At first, Kathryn and John wanted to call the police and turn him in, but both Bay and Daphne talked them out of it. Later, Bay was shocked to learn that Angelo did run, »

Morning Brew - Friday, Jan. 27: Aisha Tyler talks kissing a girl, a clip from the Mj episode of "Glee"
27 January 2012 8:18 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
It's Friday guys! Party.
Yesterday on The Talk, Aisha Tyler said the only time she's drank alcohol while working was when she was going to be kissing another woman on screen and the other woman was nervous and suggested they have some screwdrivers. The only movie I know that Aisha kissed another woman in was .45, and she got a little steamy with Milla Jovovich. By process of elimination, I think it's her! Now you all know that Milla likes screwdrivers.
Syd tha Kid discussed Odd Future's being dropped from the bill at an Australian music fest, Big Day Out, because of their homophobic and misogynistic lyrics. She doesn't seem to agree with the promoters.
It’s ignorance at its finest. If they really knew what Odd Future was they wouldn’t have been able to pull us from the bill for being homophobic. They’re calling us homophobic, okay, for using homophobic slurs? »

Kristy McNichol comes out
6 January 2012 5:42 PM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Raise your hand if you could never hear the dialog in Little Darlings because your gaydar was pinging so loudly when Kristy McNichol was onscreen.
I see those hands. And today, your gaydar has been proven right. In this week's People McNichol acknowledged that she is indeed a lesbian. The actress also released a picture with her partner of more than 20 years, Martie Allen.
If you didn't raise your hand, you're probably a decade younger than those of us high-fiving because we knew it all along. McNichol was one of our favorite mulleted icons on '80s TV, appearing in everything from Family (in which she played Buddy, the younger sister of Meredith Baxter's character) to one of the kids on Empty Nest.
Along the way, she appeared in movies like Little Darlings and Two Moon Junction, which I watched over and over without ever quite knowing why. »

More Emmett | One of the benefits of a renewal with a large episode order: It gives producers more time to dig deeper into supporting characters like Daphne’s friend-turned-Bay’s boyfriend Emmett, who will find himself torn during his parents’ divorce. “It’s a big custody battle, and Emmett’s caught in the middle, »
