When you think of Kathy Griffin – you might not think “bald”. But the comedian has survived cancer, being canceled by MAGA (lol – okay, moral standing!), and Hollywood! She ALSO didn’t get invited on as a guest when Rosie filled in for Kimmel, which Kathy says she took to heart – but notTrixie! No, she’s not gonna do Kathy like that.
Check out the Bald and The Beautiful with the match made in gay heaven above! My fave comment from a fan on TY:
The Dolly Parton estate and Integrity Toys haven’t waited a MINUTE in launching the first three “Dolly Dolls,” a set of collector figures Dolly herself worked on for over a year before her passing in August.
Each 12-inch doll is modeled on a real look from her personal fashion archive, tied to her new Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville, with makeup matched to her Dolly Beauty line. The trio: Dreamin’ in Gingham (limited to 2,000, $165, comes with a custom rhinestone guitar), World on Fire (2,000, $175, based on her 2023 ACM Awards fit with a removable world-map overskirt), and Diamond in a Rhinestone World. In a note printed right on the packaging, Dolly connected them back to the corn-cob doll her mama made her as a girl, the one that inspired her very first song.
Of course she did. Grab yours HERE before they’re gone and find more pics of the series after the jump!
Paramount and Legendary dropped a second look at their live-action Street Fighter this week. It’s set in 1993, which explains the neon, the hair, and the general fever-dream quality of the whole thing.
Check out the action-packed extended new trailer above! Thoughts?
The Champagne Room has been pulling an enviable guest list lately: queer punk cinema icon Bruce LaBruce, actor Jay Baruchel with his wife, designer Rebecca-Jo Dunham Baruchel, and award-winning author Téa Mutonji have all taken a seat, with DJ baddie Miss Bashful among the names still to come!
This week the chair goes to Canadian filmmaker Blake Mawson, who came ready to talk horror, queerness, and the pole and wig he worked long before any festival came calling.
What do strippers and independent filmmaking have in common? Both come down to protecting your autonomy and a healthy distaste for censorship. Oh, and he calls his mom mid-taping to get his birth time so the hosts can pull his big 3! 🤩 Check out the latest episode of The Champagne Room above!
For the uninitiated, Mortville is the gloriously grimy shantytown at the center of 1977’s Desperate Living, the Pope of Trash’s fairytale for perverts, ruled by the tyrannical Queen Carlotta, populated by wrestlers, murderesses, and a woman who eventually gets what’s coming to her in the most anatomically memorable way possible.
It remains the only Waters film without Divine, and somehow it out-filths the competition anyway. Iconic real estate. So the idea of him strolling back into that trash-heap kingdom, at 80, has us feral. Check it out above!
Siren, the baddest bookie in all of New York, tears through Manhattan and Brooklyn to get her money back. She’s gonna collect every last cent, and God help the guy who tries to stop her.
Trans actor/model Leyna Bloom stars in this grindhouse-quese short (clearly influenced by predecessor films such as COFFY) alongside Violet Chachki and Amanda Lepore and was directed by Klimovski.
