Slate includes hour-long drama from Channing Tatum’s production company Free Association.
First Look Media’s Topic studio has unveiled its development slate for scripted TV series, with projects from Alex Garcia Lopez, Erin Foley-Chan and Channing Tatum’s production company Free Association.
Hunger, written by Garcia Lopez, is a geopolitical thriller about the powerful, covert and dangerous business of the global food industry. With nods to Traffic and The Night Manager, the hour-long series promises to be a provocative, uncompromising and international drama exposing an urgent and imminent crisis relatively unknown to the world.
Trying, written by Foley-Chan, is part of a first look deal with executive producer Daniel Powell. The half hour comedy follows Erin Foley-Chan, a chronic people-pleaser who can’t resist helping everyone around her. When told that she is infertile and cannot have a child without arduous treatments, she’s forced to deal with her own problems, for once.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been highlighting some of the newer publishers, including Vault Comics, AfterShock Comics, and It’s Alive! Press.
This week I’m covering Scout Comics and Ben Kahn. Ben had self-published a comic titled Heavenly Blues which I had picked up a while back at Carmine Street Comics here in Manhattan. Since then, Scout Comics has picked up the series. I got the chance to talk with Ben about his comics career and having Heavenly Blues added to Scout Comics growing roster.
Jc: Thank you for taking the time to chat with me about your new series at Scout Comics, Heavenly Blues! Before we get started, you’re a fairly new face to comics, at least in terms of being Diamond distributed. Can you tell us a bit about your writing career leading up to this?

Good afternoon my lovelies!
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been admitted to the hospital. Clinton is being monitored after doctors found a blood clot that might have resulted from a concussion she suffered earlier this month. Please send healing vibes her way.
Lady Gaga will be offering free therapy to her little monsters. During Gaga's Born This Way Ball tour she will have a "BornBrave Bus" for her fans that will offer free therapy services. Gaga wrote on her Facebook page, "BornBrave Bus Is a place where mental health + depression are taken seriously w/ no judgement, Free real help available to all. I feel like most kids don't look for help because they feel embarrassed so mom + I wanted to break the stigmas around 'help' and make it fun."

Good morning! And happy Friday.
So if you watched Glee last night, you probably already have feelings. But WetPaint has an article asking "Is Brittany on Glee a lesbian?" That should stir up some more.
Sandra Bernhard was on Watch What Happens Live alongside Jane Fonda last night and the two played a game of "Celebrity Work-Out Video or Vide-no?"
I cannot believe that Angela Lansbury video. You can see more videos from last night over at AfterElton. They love them some Jane.

Riddle me this. What do you get when you combine over 10,000 happy lesbians, daily pool parties, nightly dance parties, and enough alcohol to keep Amy Winehouse occupied for five days? If you answered, "I don't know, but where do I sign up?" you wouldn't be the first. Actually, what you do get is the largest lesbian event in the world: The Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, California.
The desert extravaganza that's been described as "Lesbian Spring Break" is more than gay girls gone wild. I've been to three Dinah's and can tell you it's not for the weak, the straight, or the easily shocked. You haven't lived until you've seen topless girls hanging off a hotel balcony, swinging a blow up doll and waving to Leisha Hailey.
A new feature length documentary, Out in The Desert, promises an insider's look into, not only the dreamy dykes, debauchery and drama,...

Celesbians, celebrities and supporters alike are taking it off and taking a stand for Lgbt rights in photographer Adam Bouska’s “NOH8” Prop 8 Exhibition. In conjunction with Dallas Pride 2009, Bouska’s week-long exhibit (starting September 19) will include “straight and Lgbt Californians,” both famous and not, with tape over their mouths to symbolize the end of Lgbt-targeted hatred and violence.
The ultimate goal is to garner enough buzz and support in order to repeal Proposition 8 that passed in November 2008. Some posed in the buff to, uh, show America that nothing holds them back from fighting for justice! Or something like that. Among the subjects are musicians, parents, military personnel and politicians.
First, let’s take a look at some lovely lezzies that participated:
Out Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer
Charlene of Gimme Sugar
Openly gay celebrity trainer Shawnee Harkins
Lesbian comic Erin Foley
Some other favorites:
Kathy Griffin and her Daytime Emmys

Want to know the status of a particular movie, TV show, or band? Wondering what a certain actress is up to these days? Send your entertainment-related questions to askafterellen@gmail.com — with your first name, city and country — and we'll try to answer as many as we can.
Question: Is it true? There is going to be a Girltrash! movie? We've read on Killola's page that Lisa is starting shooting in October so it must be true and she also hinted that the whole cast is going to be back in. Do you know anything more? Isn't this exciting?
― Nathalie, Toronto
Answer: Yes, the rumors are true, and, yes, also exciting! For official confirmation, I checked in with Girltrash! creator Angela Robinson, and here's what she told me:
We are in talks with producers to shoot a (very low budget) Girltrash! movie in December, starring the original cast, plus some new characters.

Wednesday, 12/10/2008 was International Human Rights Day and this year was the first Day Without A Gay. I wanted to “call in gay” but I was out of sick days and instead I planned ahead and switched my days to make sure I had it off. Does that make me a cheater? The whole concept of the day was amazing and it even made people aware that we had a Human Rights Day. I did my fair share of promoting online and word of mouth. I told my whole family that I wasn’t going to work because I was calling in gay and most of my family knew what it was.
On Wednesday, I stayed home for most of the day until I picked up my nieces from school and took them to the mall, where I did window shopping. I wore my Curve Magazine t-shirt and got several glances =). After the mall,...
