Sir Elton John:Top Iconic Male Gay Of All Time
10 December 2009 2:46 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The legendary pop star – who married his long-term lover David Furnish in a civil partnership ceremony in 2005 - has been declared the male most respected by homosexuals, while the late actress Judy Garland was named the most iconic female.
The male list was predominantly made up of gay men – including late Queen singer Freddie Mercury, British TV star Stephen Fry and ‘Faith’ hitmaker George Michael – apart from soccer hunk David Beckham, who is married to Victoria Beckham.
Meanwhile, the female list was full of glamorous female stars – including singers Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Cher – rather than famous lesbians. A spokesperson from www.OnePoll.com – who commissioned the survey of over 5,000 gay men and women - said: “Interestingly only one of the men in the top 10 list of male celebrity gay icons isn’t gay – David Beckham. And yet most of the women put on a pedestal by the gay community are straight. »

Pirate Radio Rocks on Good Tunes, Cast
13 November 2009 6:56 AM, PST | newser.com | See recent newser news »
Critics agree that the soundtrack of Pirate Radio can't be beat, and the top-notch cast is a joy. So when it comes to the shaky plot and pacing, some can turn a blind eye: "There’s no denying the comic energy of the cast," Peter Travers writes in Rolling Stone . "Couple that with blasts of Brit rock from the Beatles and the Stones to Dusty Springfield and David Bowie, and the ship is unsinkable." Writer/director Richard Curtis introduces "characters and conflicts only to drop them," Stephanie Zacharek of Salon complains. But no matter: The best bits "take place in the movie's »

In 1966, arguably British pop music's finest era, the BBC played only two hours of rock n' roll every week but pirate radio blasted rock and pop from the high seas twenty-four hours a day and twenty-five million people, more than half the population of Britain, listened to these broadcasts every single day. Pirate Radio, opening in theaters everywhere on November 13th, is the latest film from Richard Curtis, the acclaimed director of Notting Hill and Love Actually, and chronicles these pioneers and the music that inspired a generation. The film stars Oscar winner Phillip Seymour Hoffman and an all-star cast of British actors that includes Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Rhys Darby, Nick Frost, Jack Davenport and Kenneth Branagh. We had an opportunity to travel to London a few weeks ago and speak with Bill Nighy, Nick Frost and the films young stars Tom Sturridge and Talulah Riley about the new »

'X Factor' Week Five: What The Judges Said
7 November 2009 1:53 PM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
It was Movie Week on The X Factor tonight and the eight remaining acts took to the stage to try to impress the judges. Read on to find out what Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole had to say about the hopefuls' performances. Stacey Solomon - 'Son Of A Preacher Man' Louis: "Stacey, that was a great start to the show. I love Dusty Springfield, I love your new sexy look, you've definitely got personality and if the show was based on personality you'd walk it. However, I did think the song lacked a little bit of emotion." Cheryl: "It's lovely to see you looking so sexy, young, cool - that's what you should be, you're a young girl. That's the most confident-looking performance you've done so far." Simon: "I'm going to disagree with Cheryl, because I would call that a typical (more) »

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Send it to aftereltonflyingmonkey@yahoo.com! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: What do you Really think about the circumstances surrounding Stephen Gately’s death? Do you think ill of him and his partner for being a negative representative of the gay community and its fight for marriage (in many people's eyes, threesomes aren’t "normal" when you’re married)? -- Curious from My House, USA
A: Now that’s an interesting question!
Are there times when I’m embarrassed by what other gay folks do? Well, I know that the actions of other people have no real bearing whatsoever on me – especially when you’re talking about someone who is as only tangentially related to me as merely being another member of my same minority.
Still, I also know that that’s not how a lot of people see it. »

Twitter Giveaway: ‘Pirate Radio’ Official Soundtrack
30 October 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
It’s a crime that there are only a dozen or so films about, or involving, the world of broadcast radio. Not too many actually deal with the tribulations of censorship, though, which is where the upcoming film Pirate Radio comes in.
The film is about a group of rogue DJ’s on a boat in the middle of the Northern Atlantic who broadcast a pirate radio station in the 1960s, despite the laws forbidding Rock and Roll…all for the love of music. Given the fact that the film is all about 60’s Rock, you can believe that the soundtrack is pretty killer, and you may get to win a copy!
Starting today, keep an eye on our Twitter account every week for a trivia question involving “Radio in The Movies.” The question may be the name of the radio station from Grosse Point Blank or the name of the epic band in Airheads, »

Joss Stone says finding the right man is hard
20 October 2009 4:42 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Joss Stone finds picking the right man hard because she is a "free spirit".
The UK soul singer - who is currently single - likes a man to be possessive, but admits her choices backfire when she goes on a spontaneous road trip or tour.
She told America's Ok! magazine: "We love for a man to be protective over us, we love for a man to want and have a little tiny bit of jealousy.
"So you go for those guys, but when you want to be the free spirit that you are and just disappear or go on a road trip for two days or to go on tour or whatever that is, then you run into problems because you've chosen a man that's a little bit protective and possessive and jealous."
The other rule Joss has when choosing suitors is they must not be shorter than her.

Next 'Twilight'-Pegged Vampire Adaptation: Moira Buffini's 'A Vampire Story'
19 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Had enough of vampires yet? Not if the weekend's Scream Awards are any indication. So it's a safe assumption that you're open to more adaptations of vampire stories to watch in between installments of the "Twilight" franchise and episodes of "True Blood." Try Moira Buffini's British play "A Vampire Story," which is now headed to the big screen.
Husband-and-wife producers Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen ("How to Lose Friends and Alienate People") announced the adaptation, which has been retitled "Byzantium," among a whole slew of projects their company, Number 9 Films, is currently developing. Woolley has some previous experience with vampire films. As a longtime collaborator with filmmaker Neil Jordan, Woolley produced "Interview with a Vampire."
/Film's English correspondent, Brendon Connelly, shares the plot of "A Vampire Story" over at that site, and he's certainly correct to say it sounds like a British version of "Let the Right One In, »

I'm interested in Pirate Radio for two reasons - it stars Tom Sturridge, who is making a lot of waves for his performance on stage back in the UK (tMF will have more of that and Sturridge's possible rise into the Top 50 rankings later.) and of course, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is always a wonder to watch - whether he plays the villain or a tortured soul or an investigator or any other role, he simply rock!

Simon Bell was speaking at a temporary exhibition established in honour of Springfield at the O2 arena's British Music Experience last weekend. Of modern singers, Bell said: "None of them actually sings like Dusty because, well, frankly they are not capable. (more) »

Leighton Meester makes like a pop star
10 April 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Spotted: The Queen B straying from her Upper East Side hive and making a break for the recording studio. Certainly Blair Waldorff wouldn't be caught dead "slumming it" in Williamsburg, but Leighton Meester may be headed to a stage near Brooklyn soon.
When she hasn't been stealing every scene on the CW’s Gossip Girl, the dark-eyed thud-worthy Meester has been busy putting together an electro-pop album with aspirations of sounding like her influences M.I.A. and Gwen Stefani. Those are some pretty lofty goals (especially in the M.I.A. department) and if her recently leaked song, "Birthday," (a New Republic cover) is any indication, she may want to reconsider her production team.
The song starts out strong: Her voice has a great pop aesthetic and the beat propels the song forward nicely. In fact, it would be a great tune to put the show’s “Omfg” ad »
