Broadway: May 2008 Archives
Just discombobulated this week. In a good way because of the gay marriage ruling and in a bad way because of my bad allergic reaction to some laundry detergent and the energy-sapping medication I've had to take since.
This is my way of explaining why I had neglected to report on various news items this week starting with the Tony Award nomination for the great Patti LuPone! The Broadway legend has, stunningly, only won once (for "Evita") but if ever there was a role that will win her that second Tony it is Mama Rose in "Gypsy."

After watching Sunday's episode of "Brothers & Sisters" with Kevin and Scotty, I was not in the mood to deal with the silliness of "As the World Turns" and the stupid storylines the writers have Luke and Noah involved in.

I beleive these clips are from an episode that aired Wednesday:

A 26-minute documentary about the efforts to save Laguna Beach's now shuttered Boom Boom Room has been accepted for the 2008 LA Outfest Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. John Keitel's "Saving the Boom" will be among those screened at the fest held July 9-21, 2008 at the Directors' Guild of America in West Hollywood and selected theaters throughout Los Angeles.

We all know relationships can be tough - gay or straight - but what is with the drama between Reichen Lehmkuhl and Ryan Barry. We had Ryan back in March changing his Facebook status to no longer in a relationship then a few weeks back, Reichen publicly vented on his MySpace page about someone who could only have been Ryan. And yet, here they are kissing on a red carpet at some event (that's actor Peter Paige in the other picture). Oh brother. Those crazy kids. I'd advise against them taking out a CA marriage license anytime soon!
