Well, who wouldn’t want to hug Tim Urban? He is adorable! But after last night’s American Idol, we can rave about more than his sweet face and studly body: the boy can sing! He blew everyone away with his performance of Hallelujah written by Leonard Cohen. Who knew??? Ellen DeGeneres was so impressed that she left the judge’s [...]

Greg Hernandez — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:11:09 PST

It’s a jam-packed As the World Turns today on the Luke-Noah-Damian front. It kicks off with a scene between Luke and Dr. Reid Oliver at the hospital. Reid goes a little too far with his smart remarks when he tells Reid that his father is in jail and Reid asks: “God dad or bad dad?” Luke [...]

Academy should just admit it was a mistake to not include Farrah in its Oscar night tributes

Greg Hernandez — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:27:28 PST

// // The omission of Farrah Fawcett in the in memoriam segment of Sunday’s Oscars ceremony is turning into a real PR black eye for an unrepentant Academy. It was a mistifying decision that has been criticized by two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda, film critic Roger Ebert and now Oscar winner Tatum [...]

Meredith Vieira apologizes for comments: “My support of the gay and lesbian community is longstanding and well documented.”

Greg Hernandez — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:50:32 PST

I have a lot of respect for Meredith Vieira and know she’s a top-flight journalist who seems like a really cool woman. So I was really surprised how she handled an interview with some of the Oscar winners for The Hurt Locker the other day where she made it sound as if two men hugging meant [...]

Greg Hernandez — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:49:56 PST

It was so wonderful to see 85-year-old Lauren Bacall get an ovation at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. She received a well-earned honorary Oscar presented last November and was on hand to be acknowledged once again. Bacall, still looking glamorous and healthy, is still making movies more than 65 years after her 1944 film debut opposite Humphrey [...]

Greg Hernandez — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:23:28 PST

I’m such a fan of Dominic Monaghan for his talent as an actor and for who he is as a person. Currently portraying Dr. Simon Campos on the ABC series FlashForward, the 33-year-old actor is, of course, best known for his roles on Lost and in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He also had [...]

The Golden Globe Award winning Big Love star talked with Brandon Voss for The Advocate about those roles and other tops including the dress rip heard around the world. Here are some excerpts: When lesbians hit on you, do you break [...]

Greg Hernandez — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:20:10 PST

Good grief, aren’t we passed this kind of nonsense by now? Kathy Griffin, a gay icon, guest starred on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU last week as a lesbian activist. The promo for the episode featured a kiss between her character of Babs Duffy and Mariska Hargitay’s Det. Olivia Benson. The episode airs and the kiss is [...]

But first, I’ve been catching up on some of the Oscar wrap-up shows like Access Hollywood [...]

When will Jennifer Aniston visit “Cougar Town”?

Greg Hernandez — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:57:07 PST

It seems to be more of a question of when rather than if as far as Jennifer Aniston doing a guest stint on her BFF Courtney Cox’s ABC comedy Cougar Town. I asked Courntey about it last Friday night when I was covering a Cougar Town event at PaleyFest for Fancast.com: “She’s so busy, I’m sure at [...]

Greg Hernandez — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:01:43 PST

Luke’s bio-dad Damian is in full wacko mode right now and hopefully he will reach a grisly end.
