Proto-RuPaul sur la Une
J’ai enfin retrouvé cette merveille de reportage sur les drag-queens françaises datant de 95, dont nous citons, encore aujourd’hui, les phrases cultes. RuPaul n’avait pas encore connu sa renaissance, sans même parler de sa traversée du désert, et l’idée même de Drag Race n’avait pas effleuré notre prophète. Nous sortions au Queen en découvrant les fluctuations

Conchita Wurst : Un continent divisé
— A gauche, les votes du public en faveur de Conchita Wurst; à droite, les votes des jurés (Plus c’est bleu, plus c’est favorable). (Source) The results suggest, then, that we do live in a divided continent. But the divisions might penetrate much less deeply into society than we often suppose. The differences revealed in the

The woman inside
With Bea, I just remember how vulnerable she was. She had this gruff exterior. But the truth is, if you told her a sad story, she could be reduced to tears, quickly. She had a lot of emotions inside. And her persona was one of someone strong and gruff. But that’s not who the woman

Arte a un problème avec internet
Deux fois dans la journée je veux regarder un truc sur Arte sur l’app iPad. Deux fois, c’est impossible : 1) Ce midi, je veux faire ma vaisselle devant le reportage «Ralf König, roi de la bédé gay». J’essaye de le lancer et j’apprends que ce programme n’est visible qu’entre 23h et 5h du matin,

Uncle Poodle est séropositif (et a envoyé son ex en prison)
Dino: Lee, when did you find out about your HIV status? Lee: I was adamant about getting my HIV status checked on a regular basis. On March 16, 2012, I tested negative. Then, in May of 2012 my test results came back positive. I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me. I later

Molly
I think Molly is a really great actor and she was really coming at it from the inside out, as opposed to just applying a silly wig and saying, I’m doing this character. But I also think she had a fearlessness. She’d just set her scene up and say, I want the chairs like that.

Internet VS. TV
More than 3.2 million people tuned in to the live streaming platform to see Sunday night’s landing of the Mars Curiosity rover, according to spokesman Tony Riggins. More people tuned in to watch the NASA Mars landing coverage on Ustream than many of the top cable news networks during Sunday primetime, he told Mashable in

Anderson and Gloria
Anderson Cooper reçoit sa mère, Gloria Vanderbilt, dans son talk show. Où on comprend qu’il n’y avait aucune chance que cet homme soit hétéro. Concerant l’émission, je n’apprécie pas forcément le style, mais il faut avouer qu’il est bon pour la mise en scène, en tout cas. Sinon, visiblement, Gloria aurait inventé le « designer’s jeans »,

Carmen Carrera et visibilité trans*
Carmen Carrera, candidat de la saison 3 de Rupaul Drag Race, a fait son coming-out trans* au début de cette année. Cet extrait de What Would You Do de ABC finit heureusement mieux que ce que pouvait laisser craindre les premières minutes.

The liminal phase
She didn’t sleep with scuzzy car guy just because she was desperate for the stability. She slept with him because she’s in a liminal phase. Liminalty is the scary in-between times in our lives, the weird time when we’re not who we used to be but we’re not quite who we’re going to be. Joan’s

« Smash » : The walk of shame
Since I wrote that passionate defense of the NBC series, I’ve tumbled out of bed, grabbed my purse, and taken a long walk of shame. Because—to switch metaphors mid-stream, the way Smash does with plots—since its delightful pilot, the show has taken a nosedive so deep I’m surprised my ears haven’t popped. All the caveats

L’audace de la fiction
Pourquoi les chaînes françaises achètent-elles si peu de séries britanniques ? Dans ce domaine, je relève un paradoxe. Producteurs, sériephiles ou spécialistes français semblent très enthousiastes face à la qualité de nos productions, alors que les responsables des chaînes françaises, eux, nous reprochent tous la même chose : nos séries sont trop sombres, trop difficiles,

Publicité et nouvelles façons de regarder la télévision
Here’s the wow-quote of the day, from Jeff Gaspin, the head of entertainment at NBC, explaining to The New York Times, with remarkable clarity and certainty, that watching TV shows on-demand is more satisfying than watching them live. « The commercials broke the tension … I hate to say this to the AMC executives and everybody

Bossypants en 8 citations
Gay people don’t actually try to convert people. That’s Jehovah’s Witnesses you’re thinking of. I had grown up as the whitest girl in a very Greek neighborhood, but in the eyes of my new classmates, I was Frida Kahlo in leggings. I think God designed our mouths to die first to help us slowly transition

That terrible lost world
For one thing, he’s willing to unambiguously talk about his sexual orientation. His eight-month role in Angels was both the most challenging thing I’ve ever done as an actor and the most rewarding he says. Having to inhabit that terrible lost world, if only in his mind, took a toll. And at the same time,
