The top 10 entertainment highlights on our gaydar this week: where to show off your costume for the gayest holiday, an LGBT reality show, and two don't-miss art exhibits.
MTV's The Real World has been a reality television staple for almost 20 years. For its new Brooklyn season, the show is upping the LGBT ante -- a gay man, a trans woman, a girl who's dated girls but is now seeing a guy, and an allegedly straight virgin who pings the gaydar more than Ryan Seacrest at a Jonas Brothers concert.
With its sappy songs, flamboyant contestants, and metrosexual host, American Idol is the campiest thing on TV. But could an openly gay singer win?
Sarah Shahi won our hearts playing the ooh-la-la lesbian Carmen, Shane's left-at-the-altar DJ girlfriend on The L Word. Now she's winning our admiration for her post-L Word acting range: She made us laugh in her cameo as a vapid morning-show host in For Your Consideration, made Tony Soprano nearly see God in The Sopranos, and now makes criminals (and viewers) sweat as no-nonsense cop Dani Reese in the new NBC TV drama Life. The 27-year-old Iranian-Spanish-Texan -- a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader! -- checked in with The Advocate during a recent shooting break.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally delivered a lesbian kiss between two superpowered characters.
From a controversial PBS doc to CBS's lowbrow comedy, there are gay links to three great shows this week.
If you're still not watching the Emmy-winning AMC drama Mad Men, get ready to meet your new girl-crush.
