LESBIAN KISSES ON THE TV:
Sometimes in our bubble of distorted and possibly pathological awareness of lesbian kisses on the TV, we forget that those smooches aren’t for us, they’re for the fellas:
The nation’s fellas have been in a frenzy since we revealed how there’s a new lesbian storyline coming up in Desperate Housewives.
For once, lads everywhere will be bugging their other halves to watch the show instead of the other way around.
Also in aforementioned article, The Sun (always a model of journalistic integrity, obvi) presents a gallery of TV’s Lamest Lesbian Scenes, entitled “TV’s Hottest Lesbian Scenes.” “Nation’s fellas” listen up: this one time Shane did Cherie with a strap-on by the pool and this other time Naomi & Emily had sex in the woods (or so we hear, that part was edited out for the US ’cause we aren’t ready to give up KY Jelly). Neither are on your list. Who at The Sun is responsible for this top ten list? You missed all the good stuff!
Raise your hand if seeing Sarah Jessica Parker and Alanis Morisette play Spin the Bottle and kiss reluctanty in Sex and the City got your panties in a bunch, or if you had to reach for The Rabbit when Hilary Duff & Jessica Szohr locked lips pre-threesome on Gossip Girl?
Howevs, props to the list’s inclusion of Alex & Marissa on The O.C. and those chicks from Mistresses. Those were good ones.
Moving on! The Hollywood Gossip is excited for 90210’s lesbian romp!
“Adrianna and Gia share a special bond. My character starts questioning whether or not sexuality is measured on a spectrum, if it’s black and white or if it comes down to who you connect with and who you are compatible with. I’m excited as an actress to tell the story.”
You can read about more 90210 spoilers right now, but we have no need to. Two girls kissing? We’re totally in!
So ladies, next time you feel pathetic for watching an entire hour of shitty television just to catch two girls kissing, remember you’re not alone, lots of dudes are doing it too and they’re not doing it ’cause Visibility Matters. [Sidenote: Autostraddle is not a manhater, we think dudes are awesome, we also imagine our male readers would agree that these aforementioned articles are silly.]
THE REAL WORLD DC:
Further evidence that TV producers are trying to deprive us: Grace Chu at AfterEllen interviews our favorite lady Emily Schromm of The Real World: DC on being bisexual, coming out and her first lesbian relationship… and! why MTV excluded Emily dating women from the final cut. (@afterellen)
ADAM LAMBERT:
Adam Lambert performs “Sleepwalker” on The Tonight Show. He did not cross paths with Leno’s other guest, Sarah Palin (why god why why is she still existing and doing things). There was a dude on keyboard, it was not Camila Grey. Adam’s performance was f*cking awesome, though:
ROSIE: We’ve got some audio/video of Rosie and the girls ripping into The View‘s Octomom interview. “Why are they booking the octomom?” is Rosie’s first question, ’cause not only is it insane that people are still paying attention to the Octomom, but Octomom is clearly a lunatic and the last thing she needs is contact with Elisabeth Hassleback.
In this recording from Rosie’s radio show (part one is below, watch/listen to part two here) Rosie basically recaps The View. I’d watch The View every day if Rosie was recapping that sucker Mystery Science Theater 3000-style. Especially when she’s like, “and no one is going WHAT? What did she just say?” Rosie also points out how amazing Whoopi is through the whole thing, “okay here’s a three shot of Whoopi, Barbara, and the Octomom, and Whoopi’s face — look at her face right there — she’s like what the FUCK is going on… gotta love the Whoop for keeping it real.”
I actually literally for serious cannot stand Octomom. Not in a like, “I hate her but I must watch her” way, but in a “that’s super annoying turn it off please” way, like how I feel about Two & A Half Men.
KANYE:
Kanye West wrote a good blog post? Kanye West wrote a good blog post: “There’s no such thing as fact anymore, only opinion. The closest thing we have to “fact” is “common opinion.” Everything is an opinion. The way you dress is an expression of your opinion. Your religious beliefs are your opinion. The music you turn up loud is your opinion. For most people it’s easier to just agree. For me the hardest thing is to ‘just’ agree and that is what sparks creativity, the feeling that something can be better, the feeling that something’s missing, the feeling that something’s needed.” (@ontd)

Digital Spy UK Interview with Glambert:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/interviews/a206465/adam-lambert.html
WWFM is now officially Gold like his album. I was hoping Sleepwalker would be his next single, darnit.
I think that Rosie/MST3K style View is the only way I could ever watch that show. It would be even better if she did the commentary Muppet Masterpiece Theatre style in a balcony with Chaz Bono, like she did for some of the Big Gay Sketch Shows.
I could watch that clip of Adam singing over and over again. So fucking awesome/sexy/waitIlikegirls.
Don’t you think the camera should have zoomed back when his tongue came out?
That was the only thing that flawed the performance I think. That and the fact that they had to cut off Monte’s guitar solo right at the start to “save time”, which sets the entire mood of the song. F you Leno, it was only 10 seconds long!
I just don;t get it.
Me neither. Then again, I wouldn’t even know he existed if it wasn’t for autostraddle’s crazy love for him.
oh my god, thank god i am not the only one who doesn’t think adam lambert is god.
(sorry riese!)
im with you too. also, i love when boys wear makeup but his foundation is just plain the wrong colour. im sure he’s a lovely chap but i do not see the appeal.
that kris allen or whatever he’s called is a pretty boy though
haha, no i don’t expect anyone to feel for him what i feel! seriously the amount of glambert-related love i manage to keep to myself is remarkable. what makes it into the daily fix is just a sliver of my overall love.
i know, but i don’t like to go around insulting people’s boyfriends. ya know. it lacks class.
:D
Not even when he speaks? His voice and personality alone…god.
Yeah, he’s gorgeous. I love him.
This live version of “Sleepwalker” is so good – I’m going to have to rip the audio with Audacity.
I owe Autostraddle for turning me into a Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert fan. Turning point for me w/r/t Adam Lambert: arguing with my barber prior to final voting on American Idol, which I never watch, against the idea that he’s a bad role model. (I wouldn’t ever recommend arguing with anyone who’s cutting your hair btw.)
Nothing complicated about a pair of 10 inch hose clamp pliers. (jk I hate that commercial)
I’m so straight for Adam Lambert. ohmygod.
Bryan Branly interviews Adam Lambert, Shaun White and our role model Sarah Palin Backstage at The Tonight Show:
http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/backstage-with-bryan/the-stars-talk-backstage-with-bryan-on-night-two/
That performance was awesome. God, when he hits those high notes… yipes! I loved his entire outfit; he is always put together so nicely. His hair looked great too. Why am I still talking about him? Anyway..
I do like that post by Kanye.
Heeeyy, Emily is beautiful. I should start watching the Real World, maybe.
This is officially the first male celebrity I have ever had a crush on. My current crush list includes Jena Malone, Ellen Page, Maggie Gyllenhaal… Adam Lambert. It’s like a game of WHICH OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHER? I think it’s his personality as much as anything. He’s just so fearless and creative but also so ridiculously sweet.
ELLEN PAGE.
The Sun actually put The Simpsons as one of TV’s hottest lesbian scenes. Really, Papi?
must be what the fellas like. the sun is such a scuzz rag. and not without gay panic
maybe kanye just seems more insightful because he finally found his capslock key. that must’ve taken some focus.
yay bcw’s back!
hello! it was scary out there not gonna lie.
you have Adam Lambert and we have Tiziano Ferro. It is not fair.
I feel like I need to say this but I don’t get Adam Lambert his music doesn’t really appeal to me. I am happy he is being successful but I just don’t get it. Please don’t revoke my autostraddle membership I would be really sad.
Nah that’s fair enough..no point trying to like him just ’cause. You either love him or you ain’t bothered. I for some reason think he is effing amazing; likely reason is because he is such a damn fine singer!
