Stock up on your dramamine, queens! Michael Musto delivered the welcome news that Wigstock is returning August 16 and reveals it will now take place on water — specifically, on a yacht named the Hybrid. He adds, “Host Lady Bunny and co-organizer Scott Lifshutz are pulling out all the stops for this wild and wacky tour that will surpass Gilligan’s in all its giddy glitz and glory.”

The brilliantly-talented Jessica Lange will return to Broadway as recovering morphine addict Mary Tyrone in a revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night produced by her American Horror Story collaborator Ryan Murphy. Lange previously received an Olivier nomination as best actress when she played the challenging role in London 15 years ago.

It’s another score for Gryffindor! More photos from Attitude magazine’s cover shoot with a barely-clad Harry Potter star Matthew Lewis have been released.

While on the subject of the Harry Potter cast, Rupert Grint is just a boy who can’t say no. The former Ron Weasley tells Tom Felton, AKA Draco Malfoy, about the evening his agreeability led to a night in drag.

Dream team alert: Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant will costar for the first time in Florence Foster Jenkins, a true-life tale of a notoriously untalented opera singer and her protective manager. Dangerous Liaisons‘ Stephen Frears is directing so this has the makings of a future classic.

Sir Ian McKellen once had a crush on his Vicious costar Derek Jacobi. “Yes, I did fancy Derek, but I didn’t act on it, God, no,” he reveals. “It was illegal, remember. I do get on my high horse about it, because it was so difficult. There were no gay clubs you could go to. No gay bars, no gay newspaper, nothing. What there was was a bit sleazy, I suspect. One of the reasons I became an actor was that you could meet gay people. Even then everything was difficult. When you went to America they asked, “Are you now, or have you ever been, homosexual?” I lied on the form. It was a different world.’

Mika has long been considered pop music royalty and he reminds us why with the video for his new single “Good Guys.”

Chris Pratt, who we all know just loves to be naked, has pre-apologized for anything awkward that might spill from his perfect lips during the upcoming press tour for Jurassic World. “I am not in the business of making excuses, I am just dumb,” he offers in a note on his Facebook page. “Plain and simple. I try. I REALLY try! When I do (potentially) commit the offensive act for which I am now (pre) apologizing you must understand I (will likely have been) tired and exhausted when I (potentially) said that thing I (will have had) said that (will have had) crossed the line. Those rooms can get stuffy and the hardworking crews putting these junkets together need some entertainment! (Likely) that is who I was trying to crack up when I (will have had) made that tasteless and unprofessional comment. Trust me. I know you can’t say that anymore. In fact in my opinion it was never right to say the thing I definitely don’t want to but probably will have said. To those I (will have) offended please understand how truly sorry I already am. I am fully aware that the subject matter of my imminent forthcoming mistake, a blunder (possibly to be) dubbed ‘JurassicGate’ is (most likely) in no way a laughing matter. To those I (will likely have had) offended rest assured I will do everything in my power to make sure this doesn’t happen (again).”

Obama Tweets Back To Girl's Awesome Letter About World Peace, Marriage Equality

Obama Tweets Back To Girl's Awesome Letter About World Peace, Marriage Equality
A 5-year-old has some suggestions for how to solve a couple of global issues, and the leader of the free world has responded.

Last week, Yasmeen, self described as “5 almost 6 years old,” took to writing a handwritten letter to President Obama advocating for world peace and marriage equality.

@POTUS A letter from my 5 year old niece. Right out of the mouths of babes! pic.twitter.com/Q8Sovz8eEL

— Dr Z (@DrFahmida) May 22, 2015

Please stop war for our world, instead have a meeting. Please give a speech to tell everyone they can marry who they want. Thank you,” her message read.

On Friday, Yasmeen’s aunt tweeted a photo of the note to the POTUS Twitter handle, and that same day, the President replied.

“Tell your niece I really like her letter. Couldn’t agree more!” his tweet read.

.@DrFahmida tell your niece I really like her letter. Couldn’t agree more!

— President Obama (@POTUS) May 22, 2015

After launching his first Twitter account six years into his presidency, President Obama broke the Guinness world record on May 18 for the “fasted time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter.” As of Tuesday, he has racked up 2.44 million followers. However, he has just seven published tweets — among them, his encouraging reply to Yasmeen.

This just goes to show, “please” and “thank you” still go a very long way.

Somewhere, someone is either getting a raise or fired for this.

Joe Jonas may not have been the first one to the party, but he’s certainly the most famous. Here’s the shot that brought the trend to our attention:

'Kinky Boots' May Be The Best Wrong Answer In Jeopardy! History: VIDEO

'Kinky Boots' May Be The Best Wrong Answer In Jeopardy! History: VIDEO

Kinky

Jeopardy! may have just witnessed the pithiest wrong answer in its history.

Recently, in a round of Final Jeopardy, contestants were given the category, “Hymns” with the clue, “A Christian hymn and a Jewish holiday hymn are both titled this, also the name of a 2009 Tony-nominated musical.” Viral sensation Choyon Manjrekar didn’t know the answer so decided to go with, “Kinky Boots.”

Host Alex Trebek quipped, “Whenever people go to temple or go to church, they sing ‘Kinky Boots.'”

The correct answer was “Rock of Ages.”

TIME reports on the story behind Manjrekar’s wrong answer:

In an interview online with contestants after the episode aired, viral sensation Choyon Manjrekar of Providence, R.I., explained, “Musicals aren’t exactly my forte…That’s the first thing that came to mind…It was either that or the Book of Mormon, but I guess that wasn’t a Jewish book…so I panicked and put down something…The moral of this story is bone up on musicals next time.”

Watch the hilarious video, AFTER THE JUMP…

Alabama Minister Jailed After Performing Lesbian Wedding

Alabama Minister Jailed After Performing Lesbian Wedding
Alabama has sent a minister to jail for 30 days for defying a local judge and marrying a lesbian couple. Irish voters support marriage equality in a landslide, but marriage could still start in America before they start in Ireland. And one more study shows support for equality on the rise.

Anti-equality groups love to claim that religious officials will be punished for speaking out against marriage equality. But for some reason, they don’t seem to want to talk about Anne DePrizio, a Unitarian minister in Alabama who was sentenced to 30 days in jail last month for her stance on marriage.

After a federal court ruled that Alabama’s marriage ban was unconstitutional, Anne was going to conduct a marriage for two women at a probate office. A local judge ordered her to not to, but she defied him and obeyed for the federal ruling. Her punishment for refusing to vacate the office: Thirty days in jail, sixth months probation and a $250 fine.

Just to be clear: This is an actual example of a religious official who has been sent to jail for exercising her religious beliefs. It is the very thing that the opposition has been claiming will happen to them. And yet none of them are coming to Anne’s defense. Weird.

Meanwhile, across the globe: Congratulations to Ireland, the first country in the world to legalize marriage equality by a popular vote. Well, kind of — it hasn’t been legalized yet. Voters overwhelming supported marriage equality in a referendum last week, but now legislators have to draft a constitutional amendment to reflect the vote. That should happen sometime this summer, and then the order will be signed before the end of the year.

So, what does that mean for the U.S.? Well, it means that now Ireland and America are in a race for marriage to start. We’ll get a ruling from the Supreme Court in June, and if it’s favorable, then marriage could start sometime in the next few months. But if it’s unfavorable, it could take a decade or more to undo.

Finally this week, a new survey from Gallup shows marriage support continuing to rise. No big surprises here, though the jump is big: We’re up seven percentage points in the last year. This is about where Ireland was just a few years ago.

Most of the work in this sector has been done online, given the anonymity of the web. However, the path towards equality between all genders and sexual orientations is still long in Tunisia, given that existing laws are susceptible of several different interpretations and applications due to subjective concepts such as ‘decency’.”
