Heartthrob Smackdown: Leonardo DiCaprio vs. Robert Pattinson
4 November 2009 9:34 AM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Pattinson. Photographs by Brigitte Lacombe (DiCaprio) and Bruce Weber (Pattinson). "Not since Leo, circa Titanic, has a young actor been so aggressively beloved by 13-year-old girls worldwide," writes Evgenia Peretz in her Vanity Fair profile of Robert Pattinson (Twilight's Hot Gleaming, December 2009). Peretz is right—and I would know. I was one of those teenage girls who got caught up in the "Leo-mania" fan frenzy in the late 90s. The first copy of Vanity Fair I ever bought was the January 1998 issue with Leo on the cover. I hung Tiger Beat and Teen Bop posters of Leo on my bedroom walls. And after I saw Titanic in the movie theater six times, one of my friends and I even created a Leo Web site, at a time when you could only access the Internet via a dial-up modem. Sure, there were other Hollywood stars that set »
Adapt This: 'Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer' By Van Jensen And Dustin Higgins
28 October 2009 11:46 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
The Story: "Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer" by Van Jensen (W) and Dustin Higgins (A) – Slg Publishing
What It's About: After vampires claim the life of his father Geppetto, Pinocchio takes up arms (and wooden stakes replenished every time he tells a lie) against the undead in his kooky little corner of Tuscany and beyond.
Why It Works: Van Jensen's Pinocchio is a brooding man-child forced to confront the darkness that lurks in the corners of his fairytale-like existence. Tragedy pushes him to come to terms with the bizarre Carlo Collodian world he inhabits, meaning his former selfish mischief—and current personal quest for revenge—must take a backseat to mowing down monsters and fighting for those closest to him.
Sometimes dark, sometimes silly, but always fun, Pinocchio coming of age Batman-style is just the thing for fantasy and horror fans looking to kick back and soak up the action. Plus, vampires »

Ask the Flying Monkey! (May 20, 2009)
20 May 2009 6:58 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: I was always under the impression that Dom DeLuise, like other 1970s B-level comic figures such as Paul Lynde, Rip Taylor, and Charles Nelson Reilly, was a not-very-closeted gay man. I was surprised, then, that when he died last week, there was no mention of that in any article I saw. I did read that he had a long marriage to a woman and several grown children (certainly not proof of heterosexuality, but nonetheless). Was I just misinformed? -- Thomasina, Alabama
A: You and the Flying Monkey both. I also always simply assumed DeLuise was gay, so I was as surprised as you were to read last week that he’d been married for 44 years and had three children.
That said – and I’m not necessarily saying anything about DeLuise, »

Imho "The 7th Annual TV Land Awards": Was that real, or was I Pufnstuff?
27 April 2009 8:59 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
The Seventh Annual TV Land Awards aired last night on ... well, TV Land, and it was a gay couch potato's dream come true. It had a thirtieth anniversary tribute to the classic nighttime soap Knots Landing (and a warmly received marriage equality shout-out by the show's creator David Jacobs), a typically adept hosting job by Neil Patrick Harris (whose Twilight Zone-ish opening musical number can be seen here), and a tribute to Sid & Marty Krofft that ranks as the greatest ten minutes of TV since Andra's freak-out on Boy Meets Boy.
Unfortunately, it also featured some "meh" moments. There were tributes to a couple of shows I never watched (Home Improvement, Magnum P.I.) and the inexplicable tribute to Two and a Half Men as a "Future Classic".
But all in all it was a great night, and we've got some of the highlights to scorch your senses ...
