Boy Culture Links: Trump's Disgraceful Cage Match, Fighter Shrieks 'Michelle Obama's a Man!,' 'Heyy Gay' Dating Show Debuting, Rosie O'Donnell Brings 1-Woman Show to U.S. + MORE
JUNE 15, 2026
BOY CULTURE WITH MATTHEW RETTENMUND: Listen to my fun — and at times touching — chat with Tony winner and Broadway Bares creator Jerry Mitchell here.
JOE.MY.GOD.: Trump, late to the party, is mad at Netanyahu.
VARIETY: My hatred for Trump and every goddamn one of his voters intensifies daily, even as we cruise toward routing the GOP in November: that hideous cage fight on the White House lawn was worsened when fighter Josh Hokit shrieked that “Moh-chelle Obama is a man — amiright America???”
Joe Rogan grinned right along with him.
The entire affair — supposedly a celebration of America’s 50th and held on the lawn of the People’s House … was only available to watch on the pay service Paramount+. Please cancel that shit if you have it. Fuck Elsbeth.
VARIETY: A new gay dating show — Heyy Gay! — is premiering on YouTube and Instagram. Creator Darren Kennedy sez:
“In a world of swiping and algorithms, it felt like the right time to create something that leans into real life connection, spontaneity and the fun of seeing what happens when two strangers meet face-to-face. I’ve always had a knack for matchmaking in my personal life — maybe it’s an Irish thing — so Heyy Gay! felt like the perfect opportunity to bring that instinct into my professional world.”
EXTRATV: Rosie O’Donnell visited her wayward daughter Chelsea in prison. Meanwhile, you can get tickets to Rosie’s one-woman show for Ojai or NYC starting today, Tuesday.
AV CLUB: When gay porn went mainstream.
GR8ERDAYS: RIP Anne Schedeen, 77. She was ALF’s mom! The show ALF was long ago, of course, but doesn’t feel long enough ago for so many of the main cast to be dead — mom and dad (Max Wright), son (Benji Gregory) and also Micho Miszaros (who donned an ALF suit for long shots).
