Colton Haynes Shows Off His Pipes And Madonna Has A Broken Heart
Colton Haynes can keep us warm this holiday season, even if it’s just listening to him croon “Baby, It’s Christmas.”
There are so many reasons to look forward to the upcoming film adaptation of the musical Into the Woods: Chris Pine as Prince Charming, Meryl Streep as the Witch…and oh yeah, Anna Kendricks as Cinderella selling the hell out of “Steps of the Palace.”

Hey, you scoundrels who leaked a couple of songs from Madonna’s next album last week, we hope you’re happy now.
Actor Maulik Pancholy, best-known as lovelorn Jonathan on 30 Rock, will soon make his Broadway debut when he replaces Rupert Grint in the comedy It’s Only a Play.
Lily Tomlin is surely one of the most talented performers in the annals of show biz. In a new WashPo profile, she chats about rejecting the cover of Time in the mid-’70s because the editors wanted her to come out. “I wanted to be acknowledged for my work. I didn’t want to be that gay person who does comedy,” she says.
Sausage party alert! Here’s the first full trailer for season two of Looking, which will premiere January 11 on HBO.

Supreme Court to Consider Michigan Gay Marriage Case January 9
Supreme Court to Consider Michigan Gay Marriage Case January 9
On January 9, the Supreme Court is expected to consider accepting the appeal of Deboer v. Snyder, the case challenging Michigan’s gay marriage ban.
You’ll recall last month, the Sixth Circuit became the first appeals court to uphold state-level bans on same-sex marriage (with the court upholding the bans in Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky). Plaintiffs in the cases promptly asked the Supreme Court to take up the anti-equality ruling and the Detroit Free Press reported at the time on why April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse’s Michigan case was uniquely significant:
* There was an actual trial on the same-sex marriage issue in Michigan, whereas in other states, judges issued decisions after reading written arguments, with no cross examination of any witnesses or experts.
* Two, the Michigan plaintiffs aren’t just seeking legal recognition for same-sex couples who were married in other states, but are actually fighting to make gay marriage legal in Michigan by challenging a voter-approved ban on it.
* Three, the Michigan plaintiffs also have children they are raising together — a key issue in the same-sex marriage debate. Those fighting to legalize gay marriage argue families are being harmed when same-sex parents aren’t legally recognized, while traditional marriage advocates argue that children thrive best when raised by moms and dads and that it’s too early to tell if same-sex parenting is a good idea or not.
* Four, the state of Michigan is actively seeking to keep same-sex marriage illegal, whereas in other states, officials have opted not to pursue appeals once a federal judge has spoken on the issue. That didn’t happen at the conclusion of Michigan’s same-sex marriage trial.
DOMA lawyer Mary Bonauto has also joined the Michigan legal team.

Chris Rock Says He Watches Movies And 'Doesn't See One Black Woman'
Chris Rock Says He Watches Movies And 'Doesn't See One Black Woman'
The tragic deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice, have ignited a lot of important conversations about race. And Chris Rock is adding his own poignant and thoughtful voice to these important conversations.
In a new essay for The Hollywood Reporter the 49-year-old comedian and actor breaks down Hollywood’s race problem. “It’s a white industry,” Rock writes. “Just as the NBA is a black industry. I’m not even saying it’s a bad thing. It just is.”
Rock discusses the well-known, but under-addressed issue of diversity in Hollywood and how black people, women and especially black women rarely see themselves on screen. He talked about the racial double standard black women face when they go through casting:
[How] about “True Detective”? I never heard anyone go, “Is it going to be Amy Adams or Gabrielle Union?” for that show. I didn’t hear one black girl’s name on those lists. Not one. Literally everyone in town was up for that part, unless you were black. And I haven’t read the script, but something tells me if Gabrielle Union were Colin Farrell’s wife, it wouldn’t change a thing. And there are almost no black women in film. You can go to whole movies and not see one black woman. They’ll throw a black guy a bone. OK, here’s a black guy. But is there a single black woman in “Interstellar”? Or “Gone Girl”? “Birdman”? “The Purge”? “Neighbors”? I’m not sure there are. I don’t remember them. I go to the movies almost every week, and I can go a month and not see a black woman having an actual speaking part in a movie. That’s the truth.
This world needs more Chris Rocks in it ASAP.
Head over to The Hollywood Reporter to read the rest of Rock’s truly awesome essay.
