    The John Lewis Christmas advert is here and it’s got Elton in it

    Here it is: the Elton John Lewis Christmas advert.

    Here at TGUK tower, Christmas doesn’t officially start until we see the John Lewis advert. In the past, we’ve been left in a collective ball of sobbing queens. This year is no exception, but you’ll have to wait for the very last frame before the squish factor really comes in.

    The story focuses on Elton John sitting at the piano, recalling his life as a mega pop star through his famous hit, “Your Song”. All throughout the years, his trusty piano has been by his side.

    Of course, the advert has left many on social media divided.

    Some, of course, are very cynical,

     

     

    For some it was welcomed with open arms

    Some used the advert to take a swipe at the government

    Anyway, enjoy and remember, THIS. HAS. NOTHING. TO. DO. WITH. THE. NEW. ELTON JOHN FILM OR TOUR….

  • Kathy Griffin: Trump death mask taught me to be “truly fearless”

    Kathy Griffin: Trump death mask taught me to be “truly fearless”

    Kathy Griffin has spoken about how the controversial picture of her holding President Trump’s decapitated head has helped her shape her comedy.

    Speaking to Vic Gerami and published on THEGAYUK.com, Kathy Griffin has spoken how the photo and the ensuing outcry taught her to be “fearless”.

    The gay icon recently won the Comedian of The Year award from the Palm Springs International Comedy Festival and she revealed that the award was truly meaningful to her.

    She said, “What a difference a year makes! This award is so meaningful to me because I have spent decades truly trying to hone my craft and being the very best comedian, actress and improviser I can be. After my Trump mask scandal, I learned very quickly that I simply had to up my game with my material and be truly fearless about it”

    Kathy, says that after the photo scandal her year has been a “slow and laborious clawback”.  The comedian revealed that she had been through an FBI investigation and put on the US’s “No fly list”.

    Asked if she’d change anything from the last year, Kathy said, “I would do many things differently! I think it is hilarious when celebrities jump to the “I wouldn’t change a thing” B.S.

    “This experience, which started with a photo amplified on TMZ, to Federal agencies investigating me, and being put on the “No Fly List” as if I am a terrorist, is so over the top I had to make many missteps to try to figure my own way out of this unique and historic situation. Looking back, I am probably most grateful that I ultimately listened to my inner comedy gut and decided to basically put my middle finger in the air and get back on the road”.

  • Adam Lambert showcases flower-power look and talks about new music

    Adam Lambert showcases flower-power look and talks about new music

    Global popstar, Adam Lambert has showcased a beautiful boho style for a magazine interview.

    Adam Lambert has gone from Bohemian Rhapsody to Bohemian style for a beautiful photoshoot with Schon Magazine.

    Adam Lambert channels bohemian vibes in a new shoot for Schon Magazine. In the accompanying interview, the multi-platinum selling singer discusses exploring a new sound whilst creating his forthcoming album, speaking up against social injustice, remaining authentic in his creativity and the LGBT+ community.

    Adam was recently announced among the cast of the new animated film ‘Playmobil: The Movie’. He also hinted that there would be brand new music from him very soon.

    Speaking about new music, Adam told Schon,”I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do for a minute, as far as my solo career. Now, I’ve explored some new sounds and some new concepts and I’m on the course to put something out, but it took a second to discover that for myself, for this project.”

    “I was just waiting to catch a certain inspiration, you know what I mean? I was really digging, trying to find some authenticity. The most authentic sound and style that I could. I think from the outside looking in, I think the fans, for example, may just think “oh, you’ve done this album and now you can just pop another one out, you know… do it” [laughs] But those of us who are actually making the albums, know it’s not as simple as that. There is the creative process. You can’t really put a time stamp on it and just demand it to happen.”

    Adam also revealed that he was going back to his musical roots, revealing, “There’s a lot of reference to Glam-Rock and Classic Rock of the ‘70s and the early ‘80s. I’ve gone back to a lot of those inspirations. I feel there’s also some parallel to my second album. I mean it’s a general statement to make because obviously, it’s more than one song, but I think fans will draw some comparisons. […]

    “It’s coming back to the music that inspired me to want to become a musician in the first place.”

    Speaking about what he thinks is troubling the LGBT+ community Adam revealed, “I think the biggest enemy of the LGBTQ+ community right now is indifference. It’s people just feeling like victims, and then just sitting around and taking it. That’s the problem.

    “What’s so exciting right now is that so many people are mobilising and encouraging people to step up. We have to get involved politically. I think a lot of liberals and younger people have felt for a very long time that their voice doesn’t count and that they can’t affect change and there’s this underlying sense of hopelessness, unfortunately.”

    “‘As if that’s all we are and all we can be. Hair.”

    “Sex Target”

    McGowan also wrote that her long hair “always made her uncomfortable” and that she was wearing, “a plant on my head and a sex target on my back”.

    She continues, “I thought I looked more like a blow-up sex doll, the kind with the hole for the mouth. And it didn’t feel good”.

    McGowan also revealed that she thinks that Hollywood has unspoken rules about women’s hair.

    She revealed, “if you’re a Jennifer Lawrence America’s sweetheart type, you have simple blonde hair, if you’re the vixen, it is long, dark and big. Those are the rules, do not deviate.”

    and why not?

    In the latest issue of i-D, global pop star, Harry Styles interviewed the star of last year’s breakout gay movie, Call Me By Your Name, Timothée Chalamet. One thing on his mind, evidently, was that now famous peach scene.

    If you don’t know about the peach scene, spoiler alert, in the movie, the sexually frustrated teen that Chalamet plays ends up having sex with the peach. It’s a bit iconic and definitely one of the sexy sex movies we suggest you try at home.

    In the interview, Styles asks, “Can you still eat peaches?”

    Laughing Chalamet replied, “Umm I can, but not without thinking about it…”

    Styles confessed, “I’ve had a hard time…”

    Chalamet continued, “That’s the most awkward scene to see with your parents in the whole world. My poor father…”

    “I’m sure he’s done it too,”

  • Michael C Hall opens up about his sexuality

    Dexter actor, Michael C Hall has revealed that he believes he’s not 100 percent heterosexual.

    Speaking to the Daily Beast about his new project, a play called Thom Pain, Dexter actor, Michael C Hall spoke about his own sexuality, saying that he thinks that sexuality is on a spectrum and that making out with a male actor night after night made him “lean” into being sexually fluid.

    He told the website, “I think there’s a spectrum. I am on it … If there was a percentage, I would say I was not all the way heterosexual.”

    He continued: “I think playing the emcee required me to fling a bunch of doors wide open because that character I imagined as pansexual … Yeah, like I made out with Michael Stuhlbarg every night doing that show. I think I have always leaned into any fluidity in terms of my sexuality.”

    TheGayUk.com recently asked its reader whether thought that sexuality was on a spectrum. Over two-thirds of readers believe that sexuality is indeed on a spectrum.

    Speaking about his desire for a more intimate relationship with a man, Hall revealed,

    “I’ve never had an intimate relationship with a man,

    “I think, maybe because of an absent father, there has definitely been a craving for emotional intimacy with a man.”

    “I don’t mean to suggest that an emotional relationship between a father and son is any way homoerotic. I mean an emotional intimacy or connection that at least in the milieu I grew up in was considered fey.”

    However, he stated that “as a rule” he identified as heterosexual.
