Sacha Baron Cohen Plays First Gay Man To Visit Kansas

Sacha "Borat" Baron "Ali G" Cohen is working on his upcoming flick about his character "Bruno," the supergay Austrian fashion reporter. Since everyone on both coasts (except for Ben Affleck) is obviously too familiar with his work to be punked, Bruno has traveled to the heart of flyover land, Wichita, Kansas. Where he was captured on film doing supergay stuff! His act reportedly "almost looked like pornography," at least to Kansas sensibilities. After the jump, video [via Towleroad] of Bruno and his funky pants dance, which brings joy to the dreary confines of the Wichita terminal. More »

Latest by n/a: Personally, I am not offended by Gay stereotypes when they are not presented as a purely negative plot device. I see nothing here to offend my gay eyes. I look forward to laughing my panties off when I see the movie. Go Sasha, go. Demo -- more »

For Discussion: Mirror, Mirror On The Wall...

Welcome to the Gawker Locker Room: where maturity goes to die! Here your host and toastmaster Furious George will present a topic of discussion for open commentary, vigorous debate, and potential masturbatory purposes. Our topics will be diverse, random, juvenile, and vitally important. Ever since I was old enough to see The Little Mermaid, I was old enough to wonder why Ariel tramped it up in such a revealing little seashell bikini. Now, many years later, I find myself revisiting that topic. In my head. Frequently. And let's be honest: don't we all? I realize that perving out over animation is supposed to be the semi-exclusive domain of fetishists, weirdos, To Catch a Predator regulars and the Japanese. But I just can't help myself, and, I suspect, neither can you. So tell me, kids: Who is the hottest cartoon character of them all?

Kylie Minogue Is Not A Gay Icon For Nothing

While stricken with breast cancer in 2005 and 2006, Minogue spent her days shut in with her mom, swathed in Edie-like headscarves, and watched the original 1975 documentary, which she now says she's seen over a hundred times ... "That was a really wild connection!" says [Christine] Ebersole. "She was living with her mother, and I guess she saw Edie as her protector, an indomitable spirit that she could use as her armor and strength when she needed it most."
Wow, we are definitely going to have to reexamine our dismissal of Australian popstar Kylie Minogue. That la la la, lala la lala song may be annoying, but we're pretty sure that Gwen Stefani hasn't memorized all the dialogue from Grey Gardens. More »
