Taye Diggs has always looked good (and never ages either), be we have to say he’s looking particularly hot covered in glitter in the first look at him in character in the title role in Hedwig And The Angry Inch.
While Diggs is best known to many for his roles in TV’s Private Practice and Murder In The First, he has a great musical theatre pedigree, having first really been noticed as part of the original cast of Rent and also appeared in the likes of Chicago (both on stage and in the movie version). However this will be his first Broadway role since briefly appearing in Wicked 12 years ago.
Diggs is the first African-American actor to take on the role of the East German title character, who was left with an angry inch after a botched sex change operation that she had in order to get into the US with her American GI lover. Hedwig then started dating young Tommy Gnosis, who left her behind when he took her music and became a rock star – leaving her understandably bitter (but still very funny), and ready to recount her tale for the audience.
Taye has signed up for a 12 week stint in the show, starting July 22nd.
Rob Williams has made quite a name for himself in the world of gay-themed cinema with movies such as Three Day Weekend, Make The Yuletide Gay, Role/Play, Out To Kill and The Men Next Door. Now he’s planning to return with Shared Rooms, about the lives of three gay couples during the holiday.

Synopsis: ‘Having been good friends for years, Martin and Tomaz now find themselves on the cusp of adulthood. Martin’s father sends his son to southern Brazil, where the family is from, to sort out an inheritance matter. Tomaz accompanies him there.
It’s perhaps odd that gay-themed films rarely deal directly with homophobic violence, perhaps finding it too painful a topic to turn into ‘entertainment’. However it’s certainly a worthwhile topic for cinema and that’s what Stand does, mixing that with a look at dealing with it in modern Russia, where homophobia is growing and the lives of ga men are getting ever worse.
Last week Chris Pratt said in an interview that he was happy for people to objectify him, as it helps to at least slightly balance the books following decades/centuries where the objectification of women has been the order of the day. However he is far from the first male actor who has put his body out there as something for people to ogle, and for the last few years nobody has done as much service to that goal as Zac Efron.
There were an awful lot of files to sift through when the data from the hack of Sony Pictures was released, and so it continues to make new headlines, with one of the latest being a memo uncovered by 
Before the term ‘queer cinema’ was coined in the 1990s, there were still gay-themed movies being made, and in the US in 1985 – at the height of the AIDS panic – a distributor was born that for the past 30 years has been helping bring LGBT movies to wider audiences.
As if Lily Tomlin as a lesbian, bohemian grandmother wasn’t enough to ensure Grandma was worth a watch, the trailer also gives us the prospect of Laverne Cox as a tatooist plying her art on the comedienne.
Although overlooked by many, those who know the 2003 movie Camp tend to love it, and it certainly has a bit of a cult following of people who enjoy not just its music but also how inclusive and affirming it is of everyone from the gay and the overweight, to the nerds and the genderqueer.
