Appropriate for their big screen debut, Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more!

The smash-hit Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (it's cleaning up at the UK box office, sweetie-darling) just got two grandmas kicked out of the theater for doing something I haven't done at a movie in a long, long time.

The Idaho Capitol Building was lit up with rainbow lights in celebration of Pride Fest Boise this weekend, following a battle over who would foot the bill.

Absolutely Fabulous poked fun, from time to time, at the notion that flamboyant Patsy—played by Joanna Lumley—may have begun life as a man. That kind of joke is a little stale these days, so Lumley has upped the ante, declaring her character to actually be a trans woman.

Lumley, 70, tells V Magazine:

You go back and pick through it, the amount of gay references and ease with which it’s been put into the story, without it being dragged along like a great log of plot. It’s really normal that one of [Edina’s] ex-husbands now lives with his young boyfriend. It’s completely normal that [Edina] wants Saffy [Edina’s long-suffering daughter] to be a lesbian or that Serge [Edina’s long lost son] is gay and living in New York. It’s completely normal that Patsy is transgender.

Lumley seems to be referring to those old gags, but in a new, more serious way.
