I'm not the biggest Scissor Sisters fan (I want to be, but just never got seduced), but their description of their new album Night Work—"What if AIDS had never happened?"—is pretty intriguing.

It's a Mapplethorpe photograph, not Jake's rear.

Sir Ian McKellen ups the out vs. in ante in an L.A. Times interview, saying: 

"This business may involve disguise, but it's about telling the truth. And I don't think a closeted actor in this day and age can act as well as an actor who is out."

He trashes organized religion in the same piece, which is interesting since he is ostensibly promoting the AMC remake of The Prisoner co-starring Jesus himself—Jim Caviezel.

SNL this week was excruciating; Neil Patrick Harris as a host didn't help, but it was really the 

fault of the writing and an ungifted cast.

But for trivia buffs, Joe.My.God. posts the show's history with gay hosts...and it's fascinating how few gay people have hosted, and how most of them were not out at the time they hosted.

The only openly gay or bi hosts aside from Harris? Alan Cumming (he was the first, in 2000), Ellen DeGeneres and Ian McKellen.
