Kevin Spacey: Ask A Silly Question

The Guardian.

I wonder if any regular viewers can think of a question they'd like Kevin Spacey to answer?

Fagburn: Backpfeifengesicht

Ver actual media is full of stuff about Ukip and that smug posh twat Nigel Farage today, but here's a quick round-up of some other stuff that caught my red eyes recently...

Chris Denning: Shameless Ex-BBC DJ busted BBC News.
Burn the witch! etc etc.

Unreported World: Jamaica's Underground Gays Channel 4.
Tonight at 8pm.
RT with a :( if you want to pretend you care, but won't actually watch it.

Gambo: Shameless BBC DJ hosts Ivor Novello Awards Daily Express.
The 30th year he's done it. Good for him. x

Adorable!: The most pukey kid reacts to gayers 'viral' video EVER! Daily Mail.
It's rather instructive that only naff right-wing dweebs like Mail Online and Gay Star News like sentimental gay crap like this.

Old Vic: Matthew Warchus taking over from Kevin Spacey Daily Telegraph.
Old Vic? Queen Vic more like!
[Edit: Apparently Warchus, director of the new film Pride, isn't gay so... 'Old Vic? Old queen more like!' Not that I'm suggesting Spacey is a big gayer, either].

Disco Damaged: London website relaunched!!! DiscoDamaged.com.
Good news.

Brian Paddick: Ex-lover 'threatened to kill me' Via Gay Star News.
No comment.

Brighton Pride: Will they charge for the St James's Street party? GScene.
Probably. They always do what Sussex Police tell them to.

Sitges: Never Mind The Buggers Guardian Travel.
Fagburn's stepsister [Is there a nicer term to use?] used to live there with her kids and they all loved it.

RuPaul: Responds to 'tranny' 'controversy' HuffPost Gay Voices. 
Context is all. If The Sun used 'tranny' in a cruel, sensationalist story about a trans woman that would be offensive, but I really don't think that's what going on here. 

Harvey Milk: A frigging stamp unveiled at the White House! The Independent. 
A stamp!!!! Wow. It's the least they could do - they checked.

Edward Carpenter: Fundraising drive for a memorial in Sheffield Morning Star.
The pioneering radical gay socialist Edward Carpenter is one of Fagburn's heroes. Born in Hove, he didn't stay long...

Fred Phelps: Did a dying Fred come out for LGBT rights? Via Queerty.
Doubt it. This has apparently come from a member of the Phelps clan and they say all kinds of crazy shit.

Giovanni's Room: The last day at America's oldest gay bookstore Rolling Stone.
Thanks amazon! Maybe since your minimum wage slavery and tax avoidance helped put them out of business, some of the money you so publicly gave for mc same-sex marriage could go to help a community LGBT bookshop for gay people who like books. Ah, just realised the flaw in that plan...

PS Backpfeifengesicht is a German word for a person who should be punched in the face.

No idea why Fagburn kept thinking of that today.

Anyway, here is the real news!

Leave me alone, I can't fucking take it anymore

Kevin Spacey: Hollywood Unreported

The move to the U.K. allowed him to remain out of the Hollywood spotlight at a time when celebrities' offscreen lives became as newsworthy as their onscreen ones. Spacey, whose only permanent home is in London, fiercely guards his private life. In fact, his affable demeanor shuts off the moment he is asked about it. This might date back to a 1997 Esquire profile that infamously suggested Spacey was gay. He later denied the characterization, and his agency at the time, William Morris, vehemently discouraged its clients from cooperating with the publication."Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it," he says now. "All the chips will fall in the end, and we'll all be judged by a much higher power than Entertainment Weekly can."

Thanks for clearing that up...

Kevin Spacey: Heal The World

Kevin Spacey - notorious heterosexual and distinguished actor and "artistic director" - is staging a one-off reading of Just Me, You And The Silence at the Old Vic.
It's about the problems of being out in Uganda.
Their website modestly claims; "What if seeing a play could change the world?"
Obviously, all those problems will disappear after this one-off reading.
And the Ugandan government won't present this as another example of Western sexual/cultural imperialism. 
So brave!
Reports about Kevin Spacey next staging a reading about the tragic plight of gay men who aren't out in Hollywood or London's theatreland remain unconfirmed. 

PS A benefit for the Kaleidoscope Trust! Still waiting to hear where all their money goes. Apart from Lance Price's jollies abroad, obvs.

Kevin Spacey: The Hunt For Fresh Talent

"Actor KEVIN SPACEY has turned to Twitter.com to find fresh talent for a stage project at his London theatre, the Old Vic.
"The Usual Suspects star, who is creative director at the Old Vic, is on the hunt for young actors, writers, directors and producers for his annual 24 Hour Plays: Old Vic New Voices event.
"The avid Twitter user has extended his search for new participants to the internet by appealing to virtual followers between the ages of 18 and 25 to apply..."

Daily Express.
I've racked my brains, but I can't think of anything to say about this story.
You?
