GAGA:
Well, “Judas” has finally won me over. I initially wrote it off as an over-produced headache-inducing mess but Gaga be damned, you cannot argue with that chorus. She debuted her first live performance of the track on Ellen and I’m relieved to say the “Judas” choreography is STELLAR. Sidenote, you must also check out 11 year-old Jeffrey Sewell’s cover of “Born This Way” at Joe’s Pub in NYC last week.
UH HUH HER / LEISHA HAILEY:
Remember that adorable rainbow star tattoo that mysteriously disappeared from Alice Piescezi’s bicep in later seasons of The L Word? On her decision to have it removed several years ago, Leisha Hailey says:
“Well I got it when I was 23 or 24 and um, I never intended it to be a gay rainbow. I really loved stars at the time and I really loved color. I still love color. I wanted it to be the most colorful tattoo that ever existed. And the tattoo artist went over it twice, so it was really inked on there. After a while, I couldn’t stand that it was an armband more than anything. I felt like Nick Lachey.”
Meanwhile, check out the video for the first single off Uh Huh Her‘s new album, “Black and Blue.” You won’t find any random unicorns, but they can’t all be that special.
THE GLEE PROJECT:
I guess that Glee reality show is happening after all? Entertainment Weekly has the first look at the Oxygen network’s competition among 12 actor/singers looking to land a 7-episode arc on Season 3. Ryan Murphy mentioned during the Paley festival that if a guy is chosen, he will likely be cast as Mercedes boyfriend.
Over 10 episodes, the contestants will be pared down through a series of “homework assignments” orchestrated by the Glee creators that will assess their singing, dancing, and acting. Those from the Glee team who will make the final decision on the winner include Murphy, casting director Robert Ulrich, and choreographer/co-producer Zach Woodlee. The stars of the series will also make appearances as guest mentors in each episode, with Darren Criss (Blaine) showing up in the premiere episode.
The Glee Project premieres June 12 on Oxygen. Are you into it?
NEW LESBIAN FILM ON DVD:
The lesbian film Bloomington, flew a bit under the radar last year but is absolutely worth a look on DVD. In contrast to the melodrama that often weighs down lesbian stories, Bloomington offers a quirky, fun take on a student/teacher romance. Written and directed by America’s Next Top Model (and Real L Word) editor Fernanda Cardoso, Bloomington stars Sarah Stouffer and Allison McAtee and is out on DVD this week.
I am going to see uh huh her on thursday with a bunch of nyc-auto friends. excitant!
the way that we live!
I’m also seeing UHH on Thursday. It will be the gayest thing ever and we will all be vomiting rainbows by the end of the evening. #whathaveigottenmyselfinto
saw them in toronto on saturday. best.time.ever.
seeing them in boston on saturday! yay
I’ll be there too! Unbearably excited.
some of the best under the radar lesbian films are about student-teacher relationships….
how do they KNOW?
LOL I was just about to say this!
Ew Glee reality show? Ugh please god no.
“Judas” is growing on me, I have to admit.
Saw UHH on Saturday and they were UH-MAZING!! I wish they played bigger and longer shows though.
UH-GREED!! It was freaking awesome!!!
I’d love to be cynical, but in actuality I will watch every minute of the Glee reality show. I’ll probs even vote if that’s a thing.
does gaga’s outfit remind anyone else of baby spice?
it actually reminded me of Britney Spears, circa the “Sometimes” video
I also though Britney Spears 100%.
thought
Yeah, definitely.
I was totally thinking Britney too.
The back up dancer’s outfits remind me of Snape. Just picture fifteen Alan Rickmans and the video gets ten times better.
i wish that would actually happen!
Is anyone seeing Uh Huh Her in Philly? I was thinking about it…
“..and I’m relieved to say the “Judas” choreography is STELLAR.”
THIS IS ALL I CARE ABOUT. because i already know that a gaga song is going to get stuck in my head whether i like it or not…so the least she can do is give me a dance.
also…am i the only one who noticed the “black & blue” theme w/r/t gaga’s vid and UHH’s vid? #sometimesijustcanthelpitokay
so cute when she kisses ellen at the end
The only reason I care about the Glee show is because someone I went to high school with is on it (Ellis, for anyone who will actually watch). Once/if she’s voted off (or whatever it is they’ll do), I won’t care anymore.
I hate that there’s a Glee reality show for two reasons:
1. because all i’ll be able to think about when they appear on the show “you fucking got on this show by way of REALITY TV, you aren’t real”
2. because i was out of the country when the auditions were and didn’t find out about it until too late… hah
Glee reality show? Eeeewww
does anyone else think gaga’s hair looks HORRIBLE in this ellen video?!?!!?
am i just being picky/vain?
i think the dance is fabulous and im even super caught onto the song already but……
her.
hair.
:(
