SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTIONS

GaySocialites.com is so excited to announce that we've added renowned advice diva, Robbyne Kaamil, to our team.

Doing what she does best, Robbyne will offer advice to GaySocialites.com readers on weekly basis.  You'll also see her on some of the video segments we'll be offering.  The first features Kaamil and King Ralphy in Atlantic City.  You're going to die!

If you've been in the closet for the past little bit and aren't familiar with Robbyne Kamil, let me educate you.  Robbyne is a comedian, actress, talk show host and published author.  For my birthday, she graced me with a copy of her book "Get Off The Titty" and even recited some of the poetry from inside during a little impromptu poetry slam.  Her book is genius, and her personality is too perfect for words.  She's one of those people that you just want to hang out with all the time.  Now you can via the web!

You might recognize her as the former advice diva on Dlist.com and as the co-host of Daniel Nardicio's controversial radio show in New York City.

We're glad to have her on board, and we'll have her first advice (and information on how to contact her) up every Wednesday exclusively at GaySocialites.com.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Jackie Collins is back on the media circuit pushing a new book, "Poor Little Bitch Girl."  Tuesday morning, she hit up Good Morning America.  

Collins new release is evidently a story of intrigue centered around murder and politics.  

Jackie has clearly been around the block.  I guess you noticed in the video above that she admits to the following: She slept with Marlon Brando as a teen, and she dared to say no to Warren Beatty.

It's funny how these old broads talk so much about their personal lives when they get older.  

"Poor Little Bitch Girl" is available in stores now.

MUSIC

If you're looking for a rundown of groups committed to the Bonnaroo 2010 line-up. then it might take a while.  That's because Bonnaroo is leaving it up to each individual performer to make the announcement on their own.

Bands like Weezer, Flaming Lips, and The Dave Matthews Band started announcing Tuesday that they will be performing 2010 festival.  For the rest of the list, you're on your own.   From someone who splits their career as a marketing adviser, I think this is a horrible move.  From what I understand though, there is a cult-like following for Bonnaroo.  That probably means many of the festival goers would by tickets even if they didn't know who was on the line-up before they arrive.

If you aren't familiar with Bonnaroo, its a Woodstock-eque series of concerts held from June 10-13, 2010 on a 700-acre farm near my homeland in Manchester, Tennessee.

Tickets are on sale now, and they're even offering a payment plan in hard times.  A limited number of general admission tickets are available at $234.50 plus fees. If you're looking at airline prices, you'll probably need to fly into either Chattanooga or Nashville as Manchester is located between the two cities.

WHITE TRASH OF THE WEEK (WTOTW)

The CBS “Late Late Shows” Craig Ferguson has signed up for Twitter and is already making it splash.  It's only Tuesday, and Craig Ferguson is already our White Trash of the Week (WTOTW).

After only having been a Tweeter for less than 12 hours, @CraigyFerg started dropping F-bombs all over the place.  That's white trash (WT) if I've ever seen it.  (You know I'm totally WT myself, so take a look;)

Talk about White Trash on the move!  I'm definitely following Craig Ferguson on Twitter from now on.  White trash has got to stick together.

She's back.  After blowing everyone away with her "Bad Romance" parody, Sherry Vine is back with her latest spoof.

This time the famed drag performer takes on Taylor Swift's "You Belong To Me" aptly titled "I Was So Off Key".

As I've said, Sherry Vine is setting herself up to become the drag version of Weird Al.  I love it!  Let's all jump on those coat tails and ride to stardom!

What a startlingly entertaining comedy this is! Sweetly bland gay hunk Joey (Matthew Pender) decides to marry the never-seen Bobby. But, title to one side, that’s not the real story here.

Joey's Southern socialite mother Sarah Edwards is the real central character, a fantastic comic creation of the Atlanta-based playwrighting team that goes by the name “William Wyatt.” It isn’t that Sarah opposes the wedding as such — she’s glad to see her son happy — but she does have an overwhelming desire to keep up appearances, and that’s the engine that drives most of the play’s comedy.

When Joey Married Bobby is a tasty vehicle for the actress playing Sarah, a well-intentioned slightly-off-her-beam snob, and the diminutive, fast-talking Tina McKissick plays the living daylights out of the part. Her firecracker performance alone is worth the cost of admission.

But Sarah’s not the only comic showpiece that William Wyatt has devised. None other than legendary drag queen Lady Bunny plays the powerful but clueless Baptist Minister's Wife, Charity Divine (interestingly enough, Charity doesn’t oppose the wedding either, mostly because she’s incredibly self-centered and flighty). Bunny’s been hamming the hell out of her song parodies for ages, and I am delighted to report that she is just as riotously funny milking Wyatt’s dialogue for every possible laugh.

But even though the William Wyatt team has certainly created a satisfying comic entertainment, they haven’t created a play where all of the parts fit well, or every joke lands. There’s plenty that could, no, should be cut here, not because the play is too long (it isn’t), but because they’re laugh lines that just aren’t funny and don’t get laughs.

I recommend that the guys behind When Joey Married Bobby go on what the great director Jack O’Brien calls a “clam hunt”. During the show keep a script in hand and make a mark next to what gets a laugh; the bigger the laugh the bigger the mark. Repeat for several performances to counteract odd audiences. If something you wrote for a laugh has only tiny marks next to it, ditch the sucker. Then, When Joey Married Bobby will not only be a lot of fun (which it already is) it’ll also be airtight.

Here it is!  This what the print version of Levi Johnston's Playgirl is going to look like!

We already know that Levi didn't show his Johnston, but if you want a copy of the bare ass pics to hold onto... you can grab this issue on February 22nd.

Levi actually looks better on the cover than he does in any of the photos I saw.  Of course, you know I'll grab a copy of Levi Johnston's Playgirl.  I want to read the Sarah Palin scoop... duh!

Here's something a little different for our Music Monday segment.  

This is the video "Redemption" by Daniel J. Cartier.  He's launching his new song and video in a unique way.  

According to his website, "The video above explains how you can take part. Your contribution will ensure that REDEMPTION gets launched effectively and reaches a wider audience. As an independent musician, this type of grassroots support is vital, so I thank you for your support!"

We'll keep our eyes open for Cartier and "Redemption."

AFTERNOON DELIGHT

Yesterday's SuperBowl game got me in the mood for athletes, so I thought for today's Afternoon Delight we'd go for soccer.  This is Lancer Parker.

Parker, originally of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is an American soccer goalkeeper who currently plays for Chivas USA in Major League Soccer.

If you could care less about the Soccer and more about his beautiful body, check out the rest of the pictures of Lancer Parker after the break!

You're invited... Twisted at Vlada

CBS may have banned an ad for gay dating, but a Motorola commercial that features Megan Fox got to include the gays.

The two homos in this commercial were clearly overly queeny and stereotypical, and if you ask me - more offensive than the originally banned ad.

Regardless, at least the straight people accept us enough to let us play their little Super Bowl advertising game.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl, and I'm still catching up on the ads.  If there are any "must sees" that I'm missing; send them my way!

I HEARD...

I HEARD... that the New York City Tight party at Amnesia on Sunday nights is DOA (dead on arrival)!  The club owners and unorganized promotions team tried a preview party a few weeks ago and officially launched the party this Sunday night.

I also HEARD... you can basically call this one a FLOP!  Dragging together some of the big names like Dina Marie, King Ralphy, Chris Ryan, Ricardo Studmuffin and the Mira Machine is always good.  However, it doesn't work if you can't keep the team happy.  Ricardo quit weeks ago, and there were rumors that Ralphy was pulling out all week.  Dina Marie withdrew her name from the line-up at the 11th hour on Sunday, and everyone thought Mira quit last week!

I also HEARD... there was no money to be made!  I'm not sure if anyone walked out of the room with any cash in their pockets.

I also HEARD... chances of any future Tight party seems slim.  It doesn't appear that anyone is willing to show their face in the room again!  Turn the lights out, the party's over!

This advertisement for the "Late Show with David Letterman" was probably my favorite Super Bowl commercial.

In 2007, Letterman was joined by Oprah Winfrey in a time when the two had a faux-feud on the airwaves.  To see Jay Leno show up in an ad for the competition is pop culture history in the making.

There is no love lost between Letterman and Leno.  Letterman, of course, was primed to replace Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show" when Leno swooped in and took over.  I guess Letterman is probably the only person who knows how Conan O'Brien really feels.

To keep this Super Bowl ad a secret, Leno evidently disguised himself with a mustache to sneak into the Ed Sullivan Theatre where Letterman's show is taped.
