For generations of gay men and LGBT folks, Donna Summer’s music was a big part of the soundtrack to their lives. Who doesn’t remember being in a bar when they played “Last Dance” at closing? What did Donna Summer’s music mean to you? Bring back any fond memories? So long Donna, you don’t need to worry about leaving your cake out in the rain any more.

Listen to an interview with the music legend taped in 2003.

Zachary Quinto looks a little bloated here in the photo, he’s got the freshman 15, and by that we mean the 15 pounds you gain when you come out of the closet. Or lose, I’m not quite sure. Maybe he’s playing William Shatner or the Vulcan New World in the movie as well. (Thanks to Brian Sweeney for that joke.)

Star Trek 2 will be the first time an openly gay actor has been on Star Trek, a place where they really have never gone before. Can we expect some Kirk/Spock fiction making its way into the new canon?

Said Doonan:

“There’s a horrible epidemic of man boobs, and I keep telling — people are clutching their man boobs now, I can see it….There aren’t fetish clubs for people who like man boobs. Man boobs are like hyenas, and mosquitoes, and red ants, and sharks. They don’t need to exist. They’re horrible. So I’m on a one-man campaign to rid the world of man boobs … A lot of straight dudes, they don’t really care, they’re, like, farting and watching TV, they don’t care about their man boobs. We need to make them care and explain to them, these, girls, right, they are unacceptable, am I right?”

Although Madonna’s music has taken a bit of a “backseat” to her multifaceted career as an entertainer, the Material Momma loves music and will probably be putting out albums forever. With her latest release, MDNA, Madonna revisits some of the themes and sounds that made her the queen of pop.

Why are people are having a bad trip of Madonna’s MDNA?

Is the woman who gave new meaning to word “reinvention” a brilliant artist or does this constant change up reflect a darker need to find comfort in her own skin?

This nude photo of Madonna is expected to fetch $7,000 at auction. Had she showed both of her boobs, she would have gotten $14,000.

Today the very funny Nadya Ginsburg, well known for her one woman show the Madonnalouges, joins us to take a look at the mind of Madonna and her latest trippy album, MDNA.

ATTENTION L.A. LISTENERS! Catch Nadya fabulous show with Jackie beat and Tony Tripoli this weekend at the Comics Of Fashion Police Show.

Amanda Lear is still at it! She’s been making music since the disco era and in 2012 she’s still looking sexy and having campy fun. Watch her destroy that phone in her latest video!

With a little photo manipulation, the slime can be made to look like something else.

Too much of a good thing is no good.

I've had dreams, I've had nightmares like this.

I don’t think most kids get the “You Can’t Do That On Television” reference. On the popular 80s syndicated TV show whenever someone didn’t know the answer to the question, they got covered in slime. The same thing happened whenever they said they were thirsty, or said the word honey, water, sweet. You get the idea.

Thankfully nobody ever said “gee whiz.”

Baby, baby, baby oohh.

You be the nose, I’ll be the mouth.

I'm sure they always sleep like this, naked.
