Glee: gayest non-gay show? Who's hosting the watching parties in the fall?

Sure, I'll bring it straight--er, directly--to you, so you don't have to hunt it down:



According to Queerty (and my own opinion), "Glee" is the "gayest non-explicitly-gay show coming to TV". And Fox is just trying to make us hungry for it, cuz it doesn't start until this Fall.

Anyone catch it's premier this last week? Any local establishments brazenly almost-gay enough to host a watching party?

Millionaire Matchmaker goes gay

For those of us at home this Thursday night, May 7, the Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger, goes gay:

Watch the preview clip, also embedded on our website:


Does she think her gold-plated gut instincts will work in the gay community?

"There would have to be a gay person at the helm to consult with me," she says. "But attraction is attraction. When a guy comes in and he's flamingly queeny and he goes for butch, you can't give him another queen. Somebody wants their car door opened. Somebody wants to be called back. Somebody wants someone to pay the bill. It's not about the sexuality. You have to be able to hear what attracts somebody."

What Stanger is also hearing is the rattle of serious coin. She believes the well of millionaire gays runs deep. "The gay community has a lot of money because there's no second decision maker," says Stanger. "They don't have an ex-wife or children. But what they're saying to me is that there's a whole subset of the gay community, where people are hooking up for real love. And that's why they want marriage." [NYP]

The premise is simple: Patti and her staff work with their millionaire clients, recruit potential matches and use their matchmaking magic to fit couples together for committed relationships. Her rules (before the commitment) include no sex, and if you're her client (and you really want a match) then you follow all of her instructions, to the "t". She claims a 99% satisfaction rate.

Millionaire Matchmaker's first gay is on tonight (Thursday, May 7), starting at 9p on Bravo.

Pedro Zamora movie April 1st

Sure, I covered it in a previous Weekly LGBT News Update, but I wanted to point it out again, especially now that there's a trailer to embed on the site:



I'm sure many of The Fruit's readers--especially those around my age--will remember Pedro from The Real World (you know, back when it was good).
