  • TV show Neighbours to make history with first gay wedding proposal

    Can we hear wedding bells in the distance?

    Neighbours is set to make history when it returns to Channel 5 next week as David asks Aaron to marry him… But does Aaron say yes?

    Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) looks shocked and less than impressed as David pops the question, on one knee, dressed as a cupid. (Basically, our dream come true) Will Aaron say yes? The proposal comes as Australia recently voted to legalise same-sex marriage late last year.

    Speaking to THEGAYUK.com in 2015, Neighbours‘ stalwart actor, Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy) said that she could see a same-sex marriage in the show’s future, it seems as though, maybe, 2018 could be that year.

    Neighbours continues on Channel 5 on the 9th January 2018

     

  • When does the new series of Celeb Big Brother start?

    The new series of Celebrity Big Brother is now in its 21st series… When does it start and what channel is it on?

    In January 2018, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote for the very first time, Celebrity Big Brother launches this series with an all-female cast of celebrity housemates in a salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage on Channel 5.

    What day does Celebrity Big Brother start?

    The brand new series of CBB will start on Tuesday 2nd January 2018 at 9 PM. It will, as usual, be presented by Emma Willis and this series will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates.

    All female cast?

    Over the course of the series, as the male counterparts enter the house, the housemates will take part in a series of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments which will test their – and our – assumptions, challenge gender stereotypes and reveal fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman – and man – in the 21st century. See what happens when women hold the power, as Celebrity Big Brother January 2018 is set to be celebratory, surprising and insightful.

    Who’s rumoured to be going into the house?

    CBB bosses have made their first star announcement. Boris Johnson’s sister, Rachel Johnson will be one of the first female stars to enter the BB house in Borehamwood.

    Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On the Side will return weeknights with Rylan Clark-Neal.

  • Netflix just freaked out a lot of people

    They’re watching you…

    Always watching Netflix, is known for the way it reads and analyses the data it collects on its users – but this took a somewhat creepy turn today when Netflix US asked its 4.2 million followers who had been watching a particular show repeatedly.

    What was probably thought of as a joke, potentially shows a more sinister side of companies and their data collection. Yes, Netflix knows what its millions and millions of subscribers are watching – and when you’re watching it.

    Needless to say, some people had misgivings and questions about the Tweet.

     

     

    Honestly, we don’t mind too much as long as they don’t hold our almost religiously observed RuPaul’s Drag Race viewings against us.

    So was this creepy or funny?

  • So the Stranger Things’ cast is in the MONEY!

    Caching.

    The cast of the Netflix’s superhit, Stranger Things is being paid a lot. Especially when you’re just a teenager. and relatively unknown (well they are all under 16-years-old – give ’em a break)

    It was revealed that each of the cast, Finn Wolfhard (14), Millie Bobby Brown (13), Gaten Matarazzo (15), Noah Schnapp (13) and Caleb McLaughlin (16) are earning a whopping $30,000 per episode.  Eight episodes per season that’s a massive $240,000 PER SEASON.  Nearly a quarter of a million bucks per season – and they’re probably going to be signed up for SIX series of the show.

    That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    Also, the cast was paid “a less than six-figure bonus” – (so sub $100,000 we’re taking that as) as a bonus, because the show has been so successful.

    However, that’s just a starting point – as always, as a show becomes more and more popular, agents and managers can and will start to renegotiate terms for their actors. If the show becomes an Emmy winner – then the teens can expect large windfalls!

  • Netflix just canned two episodes of House Of Cards which starred Kevin Space

    The Netflix political drama “House of Cards” got into a lot of trouble after its lead star, Kevin Spacey, was accused of sexual harassment by several individuals, including the show’s crew members. The show was already preparing for its sixth season by the time the scandal broke out, and reports have it that two episodes featuring Spacey was already filmed. (more…)

  • Were the male models on last night’s Apprentice “Sexually Harassed?”

    If you tuned into the BBC’s Apprentice last night, you would have spotted how two contestants treated male models.

    Twitter users are not happy with the “inappropriate” way the male models were treated last night during a task on The Apprentice, where the candidates had to choose a model for a front cover of a magazine.

    During the task, candidates, Elizabeth McKenna and Michaela Wain called the models to walk one by one and asked if they had abs under their shirts and asked them to reveal them.

    The “cringey” scene was criticised by some fans of the show calling the interaction, “sexual harassment” and having “double standards”.

    THEGAYUK.com’s editor and chief, Jake Hook said, “It was totally unsuitable for Elizabeth to touch the male model or measure his inside leg in the way she did. Both candidates acted inappropriately in the casting and what resulted was an entirely cringey TV moment. As a company who have created dozens of magazine covers, we have never measured a model’s inside leg. It was disappointing to see this being broadcast as a potential insight into how a magazine cover is created. I wonder how Elizabeth and Michaela react if they had been treated in this way”.

  • When does Star Trek: Discovery re-start on Netflix?

    Fans of Star Trek: Discovery are on hold! So when does it return to Netflix?

    In a usual move for Netflix, Star Trek: Discovery has been released weekly rather than in one upload, allowing binge watching- as fans of the streaming service have come to expect.

    This is mainly because the series is shown in the US on a traditional TV station CBS – which chooses to run the series weekly, meaning fans across the globe have to wait until each show is shown in the US first.

    CBS is the owner of Star Trek rights for television series, while Paramount film studios own the rights to make the movies.

    The new series of Star Trek has won a new legion of fans from the gay community after the representation of a couple in the series. The first major representation in Star Trek’s history.

    This means the latest ST series won’t be returning to our streaming devices until the new year because CBS has decided to create a “mid-season finale”. Allowing for Christmas scheduling.

    The second part of the season won’t be available until January 2018. So fans have to wait a little longer for the following 8 episodes. In total, the series has 13 episodes.

  • House of Cards Season 6 to Star Robin Wright
