  • Is The Simpsons Losing Its Main Gay Character?

    Will The Simpsons be left without its main gay character?

    Harry Shearer who voices the openly gay character Waylon Smithers in The Simpson might be leaving the long running comedy possible contract disputes.

    Shearer who also voices Ned Flanders, Skinner and Mr Burns is said to be leaving after 26 seasons of the Fox show after a disagreement on the freedom for its actors to take on other work.

    The actor who is reportedly paid up to $300,000 per episode has allegedly had contractual disagreements over the voice actors taking on other work, whilst under contract with The Simpsons. In 2011 Shearer released a statement after Fox, the programme’s owners said that they needed to reduce costs as it said the economic model was becoming unviable. The cast including Shearer stated that they would be happy to take a pay cut in order to keep the show running.

    Show executive producer James L. Brooks’ lawyer said: ‘Show will go on, Harry will not be part of it, wish him the best”

    Shearer responded with: “This because I wanted what we’ve always had: the freedom to do other work. Of course, I wish him the very best.”

    According to the The Hollywood Reporter the actor was the last hold up in the latest round of re-negotiations of contracts, with the rest of the cast signing up for season 27 and season 28.

    Last year Shearer appeared in Daytona with Maureen Lipman.

  • BB Joel Strips Off For All Over Spray Tan

    Joel Williams got the celebrity tan treatment as he stripped to his underwear and received a good spraying.

    The 19 year-old from Cardiff pretended to be a TV presenter as twins, Amy and Sally ordered the local Conservative councillor to strip to his undies. Adjoa joined in the treatment as Joel stood in his tight white underwear.

    Joel, who was channelling a Blue Peter presenter questioned the girls about which Disney characters they would be and whether they would be princesses or witches.

    “Which do you think we’d be?” they asked in return.

    Careful Joel, they’re the ones with the spray cans in hand.

  • Big Brother: Adjoa Comes Out As Gay And Shocks Housemates

    During last night’s episode of Big Brother UK, Manchester based law student Adjoa Mensah came out as gay to some of her fellow housemates. Which caused them all to question her.

    We thought those days of coming out and causing shock were over, but apparently not in Big Brother, as demonstrated by the reactions from Big Brother housemates who couldn’t quite believe that Adjoa, 22, is gay. Despite never hiding the fact, housemates reacted with a variety of clichéd lines which included:

    “You go gurlll… Are you really?” said Harriet Jackson, 22, in surprise.

    “Do you know what I wouldn’t have guessed it though!” said Twin Amy Broadbent

    “Have you ever been with guys?” chipped in her sister, Sally.

    Adjoa shakes her head.

    Kieran question: “Never ever? You can never rule it out then?”

    Adjoa, whose first language is Dutch, took the questioning with good grace and replied: “That’ the one thing I don’t want to experience.”

    To which Kieran replied: “Why?” and talked about how shocked he was about her revelation.

    Adjoa who is also a committed Christian later went into the big brother to admit that she has a crush on Sarah saying: “Sarah is so lovely, and she’s hot and is just so sexy!”

  • Out Big Brother Star Aaron Frew Looking For A Man

    Model and personal shopper Aaron Frew is looking for love on this year’s Big Brother.

    Wearing a Zebra costume, Aaron, 24, told Emma Willis that he was potentially looking for love in the Big Brother compound, but as the only out contestant in this year’s competition, he may have to wait a ltttle longer to find his soul mate.

    When Emma asked what he was hoping for in the Big Brother house, he answered: “The man of my dreams”, before adding he was very nervous about walking down Big Brother’s world famous runway and thought he might poop himself.

    Emma reminded him that they didn’t have a poop scoop on set.

    The model, who has worked with Lara Stone and Pixie Geldolf is originally from Northampton and only recently came out to his mother and the reason for him applying for Big Brother was to show his mum “what he’s all about.”

  • Simon Gross First Ever Male Housemate To Be Evicted First From Big Brother

    Surprise Eviction: Simon was evicted from the Big Brother House, becoming the first ever male to be evicted first from Big Brother.

    Last night during the Big Brother: Timebomb Live Launch, Emma Willis surprised the Housemates with the first live eviction.

    Viewers were given the opportunity to vote via a free poll on the Big Brother app. They voted to select five Housemates to take part in the first Timebomb Twist. The five Housemates were Adjoa, Jack, Jade, Nick and Simon and they took part in a game which had huge consequences for one Housemate and rewards for others.

    Adjoa, Jack, Jade, Nick and Simon had to stand in front of five Timebomb podiums which had the Housemates fate inside. Jack got immunity and he will receive 3 immunity passes throughout the series. Nick got nominations, and he will have to nominate face to face throughout his time in the house. Jade got luxury and she will receive a luxury shopping budget, exclusively for her to use at some point during her time in the House. Adjoa received nothing, and Simon received an eviction.

    Simon became the first person to leave the Big Brother House. He told his fellow Housemates upon leaving “Have a great time all of you…it’s been fantastic…showbiz”.

    Simon left the House to boos. When speaking to Emma he said: “For my five minutes of fame it was fantastic, I’ve got a career to go back to…its showbiz. I’ve had so many rejections in my career it’s just one of many, its showbiz…I would have been fabulous buy that’s the way it goes. I think they will have a really fantastic summer”.

    Join Emma on Friday night at 9pm for a special live episode where a second time bomb will drop on the Housemates. Very soon, viewers will be able to vote via the Big Brother app and Big Brother wants to know who should be the winner of Big Brother: Timebomb. During this second free poll which will close during Friday’s live show, the Housemate with the most votes won’t actually be crowned the winner on Friday. They will discover they’re the most popular Housemate and that popularity comes with a price. The Housemate will need to make a devastating decision that will affect the entire house…

    Big Brother: Timebomb returns tonight at 10pm on Channel 5.

  • Louis Walsh Axed From X FACTOR?

    Has the Irish judge Louis Walsh has been given the shove as Simon Cowell’s desperate revamp to keep viewers tuning in to X FACTOR continues?

    Louis has been a fixture on the X FACTOR for eleven years, now in an attempt to shake up the format, Simon Cowell has seemingly axed him according to the Sun On Sunday.

    First it was Dermot now Louis. But is Simon Cowell really dumping the right people? Last year we revealed that the majority of viewers thought that Cheryl should be the one to be dropped from the show which has been suffering a decline in audience since its hey day in 2010. Nearly 60% of Heat magazine readers thought that the Geordie pop singer should be let go from the show.

    Louis is quoted as saying that he now wants to concentrate on being a music manager again, saying:

    “I want to go back to being a manager – that’s my day job and I’ve neglected it for a long time because I’m away so much.

    “At the moment, I’m working with Shane Filan – he’s got a new record coming out, and I’m also working with Hometown.

    “I’d like to get back to where I started off… I never even wanted to be on TV, it just happened.”

  • ITALY: Two Men Get Engaged Live On Prime Time “Got Talent” Show

    Live on ‘Italia’s Got Talent’ TV show the members of Les Farfadais, a troupe of acrobatic dancers, had just performed a routine when one of the dancers then got down on one knee and proposed to his boyfriend said after he said “yes” the couple kissed on stage.

    The stunned judges and the studio audience went wild and cheered for the couple in what the show’s producers claim was totally unrehearsed and unexpected.

    Italy, of course, does not have marriage equality but has been making modest moves toward it in recent months.

    In February, Italy’s highest appeals court ruled that same-sex marriage is not a constitutional right but that gay couples are entitled to certain rights and protections.

    Rome’s Mayor married 16 gay couples last October in defiance of Italy’s laws. Rome has also created a register of civil unions for same-sex couples and Bologna came out in favour of recognising same-sex unions in September.

    P.S. The newly affianced men had incidentally been performing to ‘the power of love’.

  • Gay comedy Vicious coming back to our screens

  • TV REVIEW: Grace And Frankie, Intelligently funny

    “If anyone gets to sit on Ryan Gosling’s face it’s me…” And with that iconic line, I hereby crown Grace and Frankie, the new Netflix Original, a hit.

    Chalk and cheese duo Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie (Lily Tomlin), can’t stand each other, however for the last 40 years, they’ve been in each other’s life’s. One thing is now forcing them to re-evaluate their relationship, turning their lives’ upside down. Their business partner husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) are leaving them, for each other – and they want to get married.

    Intelligently funny, but lacks the comedy pace of sayUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Grace and Frankie has its share of ‘old women’ jokes but looks not to diminish the women’s newly single existence, nor bang the drum for gay rights and same-sex marriage, which is one of the critical issues being fought in the US right now.

    Whether Grace and Frankie is to become an overnight success will remain to be seen, it seems that Netflix are playing the long game with its creations, crafting a raft of programming to reflect its massive audience. Some are instance success like House Of Cards some are grower like Marco Polo. The audience for which this show is aimed isn’t so clear-cut. Is it Golden Girls? Is it Modern Family? The New Normal? We’re not so sure. But it is good. Very good. Plus you get to hear Jane Fonda say f**k. I mean that’s worth the view right?
