ROBERT MUELLER. Testimony to Congress delayed by one week. “Although it’s unclear why Mueller’s testimony was delayed until July 24, lawmakers familiar with the discussions said one reason was an ongoing negotiation about how long lawmakers would have to question the former special counsel.”

JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Lock me up in my New York mansion: “Wealthy pedophile Jeffrey Epstein asked a federal judge Thursday for leave to await trial inside his $77 million mansion — an Upper East Side building that allegedly doubled as his sex-trafficking hub, where authorities claim to have recovered a large stash of child pornography.”

MISSOURI. Criminal’s fart leads to his arrest.

MEGAN RAPINOE. U.S. Women’s soccer team co-captain Megan Rapinoe honored at 2019 Kids’ Choice Sports Awards.

RESCHEDULED. Pete Buttigieg resets Hollywood fundraisers: “Buttigieg is set to appear at the Hancock Park home of Kevin MacLellan, chairman of global distribution and international at NBCUniversal, and Brian Curran on the evening of July 25. Co-hosts include Sean Hayes, Chelsea Handler, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, and Jason Bateman.”

SOUTH KOREA. Gay soldiers can serve, but they might be prosecuted. ‘Under Article 92-6, “anal sex and other indecent acts” between military personnel can be punished by up to two years in prison, even if they take place off base, while the soldiers are off duty and by mutual consent.’

IT BEGINS. The Trump revisionism.

ON THE RAG. This week on the gay magazines.

CONTEMPT. House to vote next week to hold Attorney General Bill Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in criminal contempt of Congress.

R KELLY. Singer arrested on federal sex crime charges. “A 13-count indictment was handed down earlier Thursday in federal court for the Northern District of Illinois and includes charges of child pornography, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice…”

DAVID BOWIE. Mattel released a Ziggy Stardust Barbie to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Bowie’s Space Oddity.

Acclaimed actress Angelica Ross, fresh from a powerful departure from Pose, will join the cast of Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed horror series American Horror Story: 1984. 

“Though she will always be our Candy, and our show suffers this incredible loss, I am elated that the world will get much more Angelica,” said Pose and AHS creator Murphy via Twitter. “She is joining the American Horror Story family in another unforgettable role. Congrats Angelica for making history, leaping from #PoseFX to #AHS1984. Welcome to the #AHS family!”

The actress is the first trans performer to land two series regular roles.

Last night’s episode of Pose required us all to dig deep — @janetmock as writer, myself as writer and director, but most of all our incredible leading ladies. I must applaud @angelicaross for her tour de force of a performance as Candy Abundance Ferocity. It has been a gift to watch her blossom as a true star and undeniable talent. Though she will always be our Candy, and our show suffers this incredible loss, I am elated that the world will get much more Angelica. She is joining the American Horror Story family in another unforgettable role. Congrats Angelica for making history, leaping from #PoseFX to #AHS1984. Welcome to the #AHS family!

Ross rose to fame as the founder of TransTech Social Enterprises, a non-profit organization aimed at training transgender people for remote technology jobs. The training program allows transgender individuals to maintain a job and income during transition without threats to their safety. Her work earned her wide recognition, even from the Obama White House.

Following her work in technology, Ross decided to pursue her dream of acting, appearing in the web series Her Story, for which she earned an Emmy Nomination. She also appeared on the popular series Transparent before landing her role on Pose. Earlier this year, she also landed a spot as one of Queerty’s Pride50.
