Pictured Matt
Santa Has a Gorgeous Tan
If you ever wished that a handsome, bronzed Santa would fix your feuding family, you'll be able to live vicariously through one clan's holiday miracle in the upcoming TV movie Too Cool for Christmas. Starring old-school SPF-scofflaw George Hamilton (star of Zorro, The Gay Blade, back in the '80s) and Knots Landing diva Donna Mills, it's the story of a fashion-conscious teenage girl (Brooke Nevin of The 4400) who'd rather hang out with her new boyfriend than with her two gay dads. But her encounter with the mall Santa (Hamilton) teaches her what everyone who gets taught in movies like this one learns: the true meaning of Christmas! The movie is shooting in summery Vancouver.
Matt Dillon Rides with Herbie
The first Love Bug movie in years, Herbie: Fully Loaded, will arrive in theaters loaded with gay-friendly features. As Romeo reported earlier, lesbian director Angela Robinson will helm the film, and gay-favorite Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan has her name over the title. Meanwhile, Matt Dillon (In & Out) has joined the cast, as has Breckin Meyer (of the disastrous, degayed 54).
And the script is being co-penned by hilarious Reno 911! regulars Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, the latter of whom plays Reno's hotpants-wearing homosexual, Lieutenant Dangle. In a perfect world, Herbie would come out as the first softly butch lesbian auto in film history and be done with it.
Griffin and Cho Go Logo
Logo, the new gay cable channel, has a lot of gay and bi men lined up to entertain you: Kids in the Hall's Scott Thompson will reportedly host a reality series called My Fabulous Gay Wedding, and Alan Cumming will have his own eponymous talk show. But it's the gay-adjacent, gay-friendly Margaret Cho and Kathy Griffin—honorary gay men in female comedians' bodies—whose shows Romeo is most excited about. Cho is developing a series, and Griffin will host a reality show, Fantastic Voyage. The series involves lesbian and gay couples being trailed while taking Caribbean cruises and—if all goes well—misbehaving for the cameras and being grilled by Griffin. Can't wait to watch.
Kath & Kim Are Coming
If Patsy and Edina from Absolutely Fabulous had much less money and ugly (OK, uglier) clothes, and were forced out of their designer furniture-stocked homes, they might end up looking a little bit like the women of Kath & Kim. And now, after a few hit seasons on Australian TV, the sitcom is hitting American airwaves this September. Nothing about this fictitious, somewhat trashy mother/daughter duo (Gina Riley as daughter Kim; Jane Turner as mum Kath) is ab-fab, but the same politically incorrect irreverence that made Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley gay icons has queer fans on Kath & Kim's home turf staying home to watch. Thanks to gay-friendly cable channel Trio for giving the show a stateside home.
