Latest News

Netflix is gearing up to haunt our screens with the latest adaptation from the eerie pages of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman universe. Dead Boy Detectives premieres on April 25, packing more spooks and spirits than a haunted mansion on Halloween.

The show stars George Rexstrew as Edwin Payne and Jayden Revri as Charles Rowland, two ghostly best friends solving paranormal mysteries from beyond the grave. Alongside them are Kassius Nelson playing the clairvoyant Crystal and Yuyu Kitamura as her spirited friend Niko, adding to the spectral hijinks.

FROM PAGE TO SCREEN

Developed for TV by Steve Yockey and co-show run by Beth Schwartz, this series brings to life a whimsical yet dark world where the dead aren’t as inactive as you might think. Yockey, deeply connected to the original comics, shared, “It was really important to hang onto the backstory of the boys… we’ve chosen each other instead of death, which I feel is really special.”

This essence captures the show’s heart—friendship and mystery wrapped in a ghostly bow. But what happens when feelings get into the mix? Yes, this show is VERY queer.

A SNEAK PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAINS

In an exclusive chat with Gayety’s Caitlynn McDaniel, the cast and creators gave us the inside scoop on what makes Dead Boy Detectives a must-watch. Jayden Revri revealed the camaraderie on set, noting how he and George were attached at the hip. “I think if either of us came in on our own, it would ruin the equilibrium for the whole day.” We love this off and on-screen friendship!

Beth Schwartz raved about the limitless creativity the show offers. “We were allowed in the writer’s room the first couple of weeks to think of their craziest ideas and we put ’em all on the board.” From high school mysteries to giant mushrooms, expect the unexpected.

WHY YOU CAN’T MISS THIS SHOW

If the promise of ghostly puzzles isn’t enough, the show also explores beautifully queer relationships and dynamic character arcs. “Heroes can be gay and so can villains,” said Steve Yockey, highlighting the inclusive and diverse storytelling that threads through the series.

So, if you’re in for a series where supernatural meets the heartfelt, and where spirits solve crimes, don’t miss Dead Boy Detectives.

Join Edwin, Charles, Crystal, and Niko as they unveil the mysteries of the afterlife one ghostly clue at a time. Tune into Netflix on April 25.

Anne Hathaway & Nicholas Galitzine Ignite Chemistry in ‘The Idea of You’

“WE KNEW THAT THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.”

In this interview with Caitlynn McDaniel from Gayety, stars Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, alongside director Michael Showalter, shed light on the charming dynamics and behind-the-scenes magic of their latest romantic drama, The Idea of You.

The film, set to premiere on Prime Video, promises a journey of love, music, and self-discovery, centered around a 40-year-old single mom and a young pop star.

UNVEILING THE MAGIC BEHIND THE SCENES

Showalter is enthusiastic about the unique storyline, saying, “I’m just really interested in these characters as people.” He elaborates on the relationship between Solène, played by Hathaway, and Hayes, portrayed by Galitzine, emphasizing these characters’ depth and challenges.

“I hope that women and men too, see Solèn as a powerful woman who’s making her own decisions,” Showalter added. “And she’s a mom, but she’s also a sexual being and she’s got hopes and dreams and all of those things, and she’s just making her own decisions for herself. And I think she’s a really powerful character and a great role model.”

Meanwhile Hayes is the 24-year-old lead singer in the band August Moon. (You can meet the band by checking out their very official TikTok account here.) Hayes is about to rock Coachella’s main stage when he unexpectedly encounters Solène. Cue the charming meet-cute!

Showalter raved about recreating the popular desert festival but revealed they actually filmed it during the winter.

“You can even see there’s steam or whatever coming out of their mouths. We shot the movie in late November/December, so we’re actually in Atlanta when we were shooting that.”

A SPARK ON AND OFF SCREEN

The chemistry between Hathaway and Galitzine is palpable, both on-screen and off.

“It’s funny. We knew that they were absolutely perfect for each other,” Showalter said of the casting. “Just every day just coming into set, working together, having fun, seeing them create their characters and sort of become these two people and go on this journey for me. It was awesome.”

On-screen, their chemistry is undeniable, and off-screen, they bonded charmingly through texts.

Their first bonding moment, as recounted by Hathaway, involved exchanging get-to-know-you questions, which quickly evolved into voice memos due to the intensity of their exchanges. This not only built their characters’ connection but also fostered a genuine rapport between the actors.

Oh, and Nicholas is Greek, in case anyone did not know.

ANNE HATHAWAY WANTS A PRINCESS DIARIES SEQUEL

Hathaway also expresses her joy in rom-coms and her hope to continue working in the genre, reflecting on her experiences with iconic directors.

When asked if she will be in any future romantic comedies, maybe even one that stars the Queen of Genovia, Hathaway, unfortunately, did not have a grand update. However, she is eager to get the ball rolling.

“Send an X to Disney,” she teased.

Galitzine reveals personal touches he added to his character, Hayes, including carefully chosen tattoos that add layers to his on-screen persona.

ENGAGING WITH THE AUDIENCE

As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that The Idea of You is more than a love story; it’s a reflection on personal growth, identity, and the complexities of modern relationships.

It’s also just a lot of fun!

‘Bridgerton’ Cast Dishes on Dazzling Transformations and Timeless Tropes in S3

As the ton eagerly awaits yet another sparkling season of Bridgerton, our beloved cast and creators have bestowed upon us the most delightful insights, whisking us into a flurry of romance and riveting revelations. Let us promenade through the splendors that promise to make this season a spectacle to behold.

TRANSFORMATION AND TRIUMPH IN THE TON

At the very heart of Bridgerton pulses the captivating transformation of its cherished characters. Nicola Coughlan, who shines resplendently as Penelope Featherington, regaled us with tales of her on-screen transformation. Reflecting on her character’s dramatic debut, Miss Coughlan confided, “We have an insanely brilliant team behind us that design our beautiful costumes, make our wigs do gorgeous makeup, everything.”

BUT DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

The anticipation of Miss Penelope’s grand entrance was both exhilarating and stressful for Coughlan, who admitted, “It was a nerve-wracking moment because I’m super comfortable to be wearing Penelope’s yellow dresses and looking mad.”

“But then when the MO is look hot walking down the stairs, I’m like, I don’t know how to do that.”

Can we just say, she understood the assignment!

LOVE AND FORGIVENESS IN FASHIONABLE CIRCLES

Luke Newton, our dashing Mr. Colin Bridgerton, spoke earnestly of the intricacies of his character’s journey and the fervent reactions it has ignited among the fans. “I’ve experienced it for two years now. I am really looking forward to the moment when, I mean, hopefully there’s a forgiveness moment,” Mr. Newton divulged, hinting at a possible redemption for Colin in the thrilling episodes to come.

You may recall Colin saying he would NEVER date Penelope Featherington. This season, we are prepared for him to eat his words.

CHERISHED COMPANIONSHIPS TAKE CENTRE STAGE

The upcoming season is rich with the theme of friendship, a motif our esteemed showrunner, Jess Brownell, emphasized most ardently. “Every season has a slightly different tone…We’re definitely leaning into the humor, a sense of playfulness, and the Friends to Lovers arc with Penelope and Colin,” Ms. Brownell elucidated. This focus promises to highlight the evolving dynamics and deepen the connections among our beloved characters, offering a fresh and enthralling twist to our narrative.

ELOISE BRIDGERTON’S JOURNEY OF GROWTH AND CHANGE

One cannot speak of friendship without addressing the tension between Eloise and Penelope. Claudia Jessie, who portrays Eloise, also highlights her character’s journey into adulthood. As Eloise grapples with significant personal losses and the distancing from her former close friend, Penelope Featherington, the season promises deep introspection and emotional complexity.

“She’s been through clearly some loss and some really difficult things for a young person at the age of 19 to lose your best mate and a sort of situation with a boy that’s gone. And I enjoy playing those other sides of Eloise as well. There has to be something else because it is great to hear Eloise’s confidence in what she wants from life, but there has to be a bit of resistance and this is the season for that I really think.”

NEW CHARACTERS AND DYNAMICS

Then there is newcomer Francesca Bridgerton, played by Hannah Dodd, who brings fresh energy to the ton, mirroring her own real-life anxieties and excitement about joining the high-stakes world of Bridgerton. Her character’s introduction to society parallels Dodd’s experiences of joining the cast.

FRIENDSHIP AND ROMANTIC TROPES EXPLORED

This season of Bridgerton continues to explore the rich theme of evolving relationships. Especially the transition from friendships to romantic entanglements. The characters navigate a variety of romantic tropes, including friends-to-lovers and pretend relationships that ignite true feelings, enriching the narrative with a dynamic exploration of love and connection in the Regency era. As the series delves into these relationships, it promises to keep viewers engaged with its signature mix of drama and romance.

A CALL TO THE CARRIAGE!

So prepare to don your most exquisite garments and join the ton for a season rife with love, laughter, and a modicum of mischief. Keep your eyes sharp and your hearts open—the best is yet to dawn!

WATCH THE INTERVIEWS HERE! BRIDGERTON SEASON 3 WILL PREMIERE ON NETFLIX ON MAY 16.

Was Andrew Scott Snubbed During Awards Season for Being Gay?

Andrew Scott’s powerful performance in All of Us Strangers was unexpectedly overlooked during awards season, sparking discussions about the recognition of LGBTQ+ roles and actors in the film industry.

Dive into the buzz around Andrew Scott, who delivered an unforgettable performance in All of Us Strangers but somehow got overlooked during awards season. In this gripping film, Scott plays a gay writer who revisits his old home and faces his past in the most unexpected way.

Andrew Scott’s Stellar Performance

At 47, Andrew Scott shines as a troubled writer in All of Us Strangers, where his journey back home unveils a surreal twist—his deceased parents are still there. His character’s emotional rollercoaster includes coming out to his phantom parents and forming a deep bond with a lonely neighbor, portrayed by Paul Mescal.

Despite the film’s acclaim and the audience’s expectations, Scott faced a surprising omission from major award nominations, sparking a debate about the recognition of LGBTQ+ roles in cinema.

Awards Season Shocker

While All of Us Strangers picked up several BAFTA nods and even saw Paul Mescal and Claire Foy getting nominated, Andrew Scott’s absence from the list puzzled fans and critics alike. Even a Golden Globe nomination didn’t translate into a win for Scott, overshadowed by a performance in Oppenheimer.

Russell T Davies Weighs In

Renowned writer Russell T Davies, known for his contributions to LGBTQ+ storytelling, shared his insights into why Scott might have been overlooked. At a panel with Attitude Magazine, Davies suggested that Scott’s portrayal might have been too authentic, leading some to undervalue his acting prowess.

“What I think happened there was, when a gay man plays a gay man, he’s not considered to be acting.

“I genuinely think that happened there, that people thought, ‘Oh, he’s very good, but he’s not acting there. He’s not reaching; he was just being himself.”

Davies emphasized the need for more queer representation in queer roles, advocating for a shift in the industry to recognize the talent and contribution of LGBTQ+ actors fully.

A Controversial Interview

Adding to the week’s tensions, Scott experienced an uncomfortable moment during a BBC interview, which many labeled as insensitive. The incident brought additional attention to the challenges queer actors face, even as they gain prominence in the industry.

Despite the setbacks, the conversation around All of Us Strangers and Andrew Scott’s performance has ignited a crucial dialogue on respect, recognition, and the path forward for queer storytelling in cinema.

When faced with narrow-minded criticism for the episode’s LGBTQ+ themes, Offerman had the perfect clapback: “‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that.’”

Offerman’s portrayal of Bill, a character surviving in a post-zombie apocalypse world, touched hearts far and wide. His love story with Frank, played by Bartlett, isn’t just a narrative about survival; it’s a poignant love tale that resonates with many. This role didn’t just earn Offerman a Spirit Award; it also brought him an Emmy, proving his stellar talent.

Battling It Out in a Tough Category

The competition was stiff at the Spirit Awards, with Offerman up against his costar Bartlett as well as Billie Eilish (Swarm), Jack Farthing (Rain Dogs), Adina Porter (The Changeling), Lewis Pullman (Lessons in Chemistry), Benny Safdie (The Curse), Luke Tennie (Shrinking), Olivia Washington (I’m a Virgo) and Jessica Williams (Shrinking).

Pedro Pascal’s Sister Lux Lands Thrilling New Role

Meet Lux Pascal, the brilliant sister of The Last of Us heartthrob Pedro Pascal. She’s stepping into the spotlight with a chilling new role in the upcoming movie Summer War. This talented Chilean actress, who proudly shared her trans identity in 2021, is about to dazzle us in a mystery role directed by Alicia Scherson.

Dive into Summer War

Summer War is not your typical holiday flick. It follows the U.S. champ of the World War II board game Third Reich on a supposed peaceful summer vacation. But twist! Things get murky when a tourist vanishes into thin air. The movie, kicking off production this summer, spins its tale from Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Third Reich. Despite being written in 1989, this story remained hidden until after Bolaño’s death in 2003.

The plot thickens when Udo Berger, the war game wizard, arrives in Costa Brava with his girlfriend. When his buddy mysteriously disappears, Berger’s holiday spirals into a high-stakes game against a shadowy local.

A Stellar Cast

Lux isn’t going solo in Summer War. She’ll share the screen with a cast of stars including Dan Beirne of Gen V, Aline Küppenheim from 42 Days of Darkness, and others.

Lux and Pedro: Sibling Goals

Lux first captured our attention in Narcos, acting alongside her brother, Pedro. Since then, she’s been rocking roles in Spanish TV shows and films, making waves in the acting world.

In a heart-to-heart in 2021, Lux opened up about her transition, a journey her family embraced, especially Pedro. He’s not just a big brother but a guide and supporter, arming Lux with the tools to forge her identity.

Pedro’s pride in Lux’s courage and strength shines through, whether at glitzy award shows or in the face of social challenges. He’s voiced his awe at Lux’s power and resilience, especially amidst growing anti-trans sentiment.

What’s Next for the Pascals?

While Lux steps into her thrilling new role, Pedro’s not slowing down. He’s juggling a packed schedule with the lesbian road trip comedy Drive Away Dolls, filming The Last of Us season two, and gearing up for the 2025 Marvel hit, The Fantastic Four.

Wendy Williams Diagnosed With Progressive Aphasia and Dementia

Wendy Williams shares her diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, raising awareness and advocating for understanding and support.

Overview of Wendy Williams’ Diagnosis

In 2023, Wendy Williams bravely shared her tough diagnosis. She has primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. These conditions greatly affect her speech and comprehension.

Her openness has illuminated the struggles these disorders bring. They have changed her behavior, personality, and thinking skills. Yet, Wendy has stayed strong and independent. Her positive attitude and spirit have inspired many. She shows great strength despite her health issues.

She paused her talk show in 2021, causing concern and rumors. But by being open, Wendy started important conversations about these illnesses. She aims to increase understanding and fight the stigma around dementia.

Wendy’s will to stay independent shines through. Her humor and thankfulness for fan support show her determination.

Understanding Primary Progressive Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia

Primary Progressive Aphasia

Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is identified as a form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration that specifically impairs language capabilities. The condition is subdivided into three main variants: nonfluent/agrammatic, semantic, and logopenic, each affecting language and communication in distinct ways. Due to its impact on language, PPA can often be misinterpreted as other language disorders, making diagnosis a complex process.

Frontotemporal Dementia

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) encompasses a group of brain disorders affecting the frontal and temporal lobes, leading to significant changes in behavior, personality, and language. The condition is characterized by a progressive deterioration of brain tissue in these areas, influencing the ability to conduct oneself in social or personal settings. Currently, there is no cure for FTD, and treatments primarily focus on symptom management and improving life quality.

Wendy Williams’ Health Journey

Wendy Williams’ health journey has been a complex and public battle, not only with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia but also with Graves’ disease and lymphedema. Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes overactivity of the thyroid gland, has been a significant part of her health narrative, contributing to her decision to take a temporary leave from her talk show in 2021. This move was a direct result of the cumulative effect of her health issues, leading to widespread speculation and concern among her fans and the public.

Williams has faced additional scrutiny regarding her personal and financial well-being amid these health challenges. Reports surfaced suggesting possible financial exploitation, a claim that her son and manager have vehemently denied. They have emphasized the family’s commitment to Williams’ care, advocating for her needs and ensuring her well-being remains a priority.

Support and Documentary

A two-part documentary focusing on Wendy Williams’ life, including her health issues, showcases the complexities of living in the public eye while managing serious health conditions. The support from her family has been pivotal in her journey, giving her the strength to face her diagnosis with courage. Additionally, her fans’ encouragement and good wishes have been a significant source of solace and motivation for Williams during this challenging period.

Wendy Williams’ diagnosis has undeniably impacted her life profoundly, affecting her daily activities, her ability to communicate, and her public career. Yet, through her openness and advocacy, she contributes positively to the conversation around these conditions, highlighting the need for awareness, understanding, and compassion.

“I do see the impact the show, and us as a cast being unapologetically us, has had on people, but I think I’m just living my life,” he said. Locke came out as queer last year during an interview with Teen Vogue.

“People have assumed and written it, and I haven’t ever corrected anyone because I haven’t felt the need to,” Locke told the outlet. “But I’ve never specifically stated my sexuality.”

Later in the article, he revealed for the first time that he is indeed gay and has known since he was nine years old.

“I’ve never been someone to apologize for who I am, and I don’t think anyone should ever do that.” Locke continued.

His approach to life? Just be you, without excuses or apologies.

Advice from the Heart

And for anyone struggling with their identity, Joe has some heartfelt advice: “Just be you. Everyone’s experience is different… I have an amazing group of people around me, but, yeah, just be you. That’s all you can be.” It’s a simple yet powerful reminder that being true to oneself is the key to happiness.

What’s Next for Heartstopper?

Curious about what’s coming up in Heartstopper? Joe teases a third season that promises to be a bit more grown-up, hinting at more complex and mature themes. With words like “raunchier,” “darker,” “grown-up, hormonal, and growth,” it sounds like fans are in for an exciting ride.

Joe Locke, through Heartstopper and his personal journey, is a beacon of hope and inspiration. His message is clear: live your truth, love who you love, and never apologize for being you. As we eagerly await more heartwarming (and heart-stopping) moments from Joe and the gang, let’s take his advice to heart. After all, in the world of Joe Locke and Heartstopper, love is the real superhero.

Up next, Joe is set to dazzle us again in Marvel’s upcoming show, Agatha: The Darkhold Diaries, where he’ll share the stage with stars like Patti LuPone, Kathryn Hahn, and Aubrey Plaza.
