A so long to Queerty editor and Jossip Initiatives managing editor Andrew Belonsky, who's leaving us after two-plus years. [Queerty]
• Devo from Saturday Night Live. No, not "Whip It."
• The Directors Guild, not the Writers Guild, reaches an agreement with the alliance the producers. Does this mean we'll find out what happens on Desperate Housewives?
• Winner of the Someone Haiku from Mollygood:
Tom Cruises By Puke:
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Thetans,
They Go To Venus.
CULTURE WAR AT JOSSIP HQ While we thought Bell X1 was lowest common denominator indy crap, our gay little brother over at Queerty loved it, and made it his morning aural. Queerty's editor lives in Park Slope and occasionally writes for the Huffington Post. We have bangs and are wearing stripes. Also, we told Andrew about VSL in the first place. Whose taste do you trust?
Today, Jossip celebrates its fourth wonderful year of existence. In honor of this momentous occasion, each editor has come up with a list of goals/achievements he/she hopes to have accomplished by the time Jossip turns five. Next up: Andrew Belonsky
By this time next year, I will….
1. Get "Jossip" in a dictionary. I don't really care if it's Merriam-Webster's, Oxford or rudimentary reading's, just as long as someone, somewhere can flip through the J's and find us nestled between "joss stick" and "jostle": a fitting location.
2. Coin and propagate new definition of "gay". I must use the g-word about a billion times a day. Yes, there are other words, but some people find them offensive. Homosexual's too clinical. Fag's too aggressive. Queer's unclear. Homo sounds too flippant. Like the monarchy, "queen" should be retired. [Note to self: Yag? That's gay backwards. Could work, but lesbians may object to leading 'Y' for the chromosomal connotations. Find lesbian, ask her opinion, apply that opinion to all lesbians].
NBC’s revival of The Bionic Woman has some purist up in arms. In this incarnation, Jaime will be a bartender who sustained a car accident instead of a former tennis pro and childhood sweetheart of the Six Million Dollar Man.
To legions of gay fans, the most egregious add-on is noted homophobe Isaiah Washington. Washington, last seen getting kicked off of Grey’s Anatomy, will play a mysterious government handler.
The Washington Post talks to Queerty’s Andrew Belonsky about the new show, the appeal of velour and why Isaiah isn't sorry.
Sometimes, getting motivated on a Thursday morning can be kind of a drag.
Which is why we've decided to provide you (and, well, ourselves) with an amazing early-morning distraction.
Because, as far as we're concerned, (a) it's never too early for your first break, and (b) anything featuring super-hero queens doing a crazy gymnastics-dance to the tune of the Footloose soundtrack is alright by us.
UPDATE: In a revealing IM confessional, Queerty editor Andrew Belonsky has just proclaimed this clip to be "the most riveting piece of entertainment [he's] seen since posh's nbc special."
