VH1 brings you an explosive, sexy, fast-paced take on the new openness of sexuality in the twenty-first century. It’ll look at how lines are blurring and document the dramatic changes that have turned the mainstream into the mixed-stream.



The show will explore heavy hitters like Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake; artists who make brave artistic statements and earned respect of straights and gays alike. It’ll check out the marketing campaigns of companies that have led to the cultural fore-grounding of the male sex object. Also at bands like T.a.t.u, that have successfully used controversial sexual imagery to sell their products. Finally it will look at the impact all this has had on ordinary people’s lives.



Some of the folks interviewed for the show are:





Peter Paige (Queer as Folk)

Jenny Shimizu - Calvin Klein "Out" model

Bobby Trendy (Anna Nicole Smith Show)

Bruce Steele (Editor-in-Chief - The Advocate)

Jason Adonis/Nicholas Wilson- gay for pay porn star

Billy Bean - gay baseball player

Chris Beckman (Real World-Chicago) (in NY) May 8th

Chad Allen (Our House, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) (NY)

John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig)

Eden Riegel - Bianca on "All My Children"

Sam Shahid (with Bruce Weber created Calvin Klein, Abercrombie & Fitch and Banana Republic ads)

Candace Bushnell (Sex & the City)

Michael Musto

Karpel Group - Gay and Lesbain marketing group

Gina Gershon

Amber Benson (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

John Waters

Melissa Etheridge

Mariel Hemingway

Norman Korpi (The Real World)

Sandra Bernhard

Jordan Knight (New Kids on the Block)

Tyra Banks

Kerr Smith (Dawson's Creek)

Jaime Pressly

Well officially, of course, I have to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.

My communications professor would be so proud of me as someone with a somewhat well versed vocabulary, and an eloquent choice of wording for this particular production is:





YIPPEE!

Wow! What a list of guests!



They just missed Aly and Angelina Jolie... but then I would just and would probably miss the show...



New stuff with Amber on TV is reason to declare a national holiday in my book.



Can't wait...

First, joyous happiness and giddiness for the Benson on TV (and of course the fact I will be home to watch it), but a question. I know I've watched stuff on VH1 before, but I can't remember what channel it is.



So, my question is does anyone know a website that can tell me ,or, if the channel is universal (doubtful but I'm hopeful), what channel it is? I'd be eternally grateful!

It is my solace, my home, the place where my walls crumble and fall away, because no one can know who I truly am. Thank goodness for the Internet, preserver of sanity! -Unknown

They just missed . . . Angelina Jolie

But they are talking to Jenny Shimizu, so maybe vicariously . . .



This is an interesting cast of characters, a mix of "played" and/or "appealed to" and the Actually Out. I'm particularly interested in hearing what's happened to Chad Allen, as I haven't seen him in anything since he came out (and they missed his Star Trek:TNG credit!)



GG I'm sure Amber will dazzle as always Out



Does anyone else think that "Totally Gay" sounds like reclaiming a slur?

[the vamp nurd]

that is certainly a mix innit?



I'm just wondering who else theycould of got???

Sorry I missed church, I was busy becoming a lesbian and worshiping Satan

Just watched the show, Amber was in about 5 times. Commenting on Madonna, Tatu, Queer As Folk and a couple other things. I will try and post some caps later.

Well officially, of course, I have to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.

[xita]

Random comments.





Oh boy, Amber was on talking about Madonna's video , justify my love, how cute. I didn't expect her to talk about anything other than Tara.



oh and I recognize that jacket



Oh gina yummy!! Plus what's up with jamie pressley hmmm



Amber on Tatu hee, how cute. I noticed disapproval in her voice



Ooh, olga and eden, how cute!



More Amber..ooh, how cute, talking about Queer as Folk, "where else are you going to see naked men." Indeed!!



Yet another Amber quote :P about the new sensitive straight guy.



Ooh other lesbians who like gay porn! Yet another thing me and jenny shimizu have in common



Overall the show had too much about gay men for my taste, it seemed to be 75% about men.



Disappointed there wasn't anything about w/t but pleased that Amber was in it giving her , her place as lesbian icon

Plus what's up with jamie pressley hmmm

Z -- Jaime Pressley played a dyke burgurlar on an episode of Fastlane. She and Tiffani Theissan's character (an undercover cop) shared a steamy smooch in a hot tub.

[xita]

Oh jill, I remember that but she was all knowledgeable about the soft butch and was talking about how she likes the tomboys herself.. hmmm

[Kita830]

Xita, I agree about it being a little too much about gay men. What about all the lesbians??? Oh well, it was still great to see Amber and she looked genuinely perplexed by T.A.T.U. I liked her bit on the Madonna video...I can just picture teenage Amber sitting at home watching that.

I won't be held responsible she fell in love in the first place.

I had no idea about this show until I came here today to see if anyone had gotten the CHANCE DVD (I sent my order today). I'm going to be watching it at 6pm Eastern. Must say I'm not surprised about the heavy boy-leaning aspect.



Did anyone check out the Entertainment Weekly with the "Queer Eye" guys on the cover? The thrust of the article (if you'll pardon the expression) was how saturated (uh, yeah, right) the entertainment market is these days with gayness. That was one huge article with just one small paragraph about us girls. Pisses me off every time!



Particularly annoying was the tiny description of Showtime's upcoming "The L Word". A young woman and her fiance move to LA and start hanging with the lesbos. Wow. Exciting.



Still, it'll be fun to see fresh Ambery Goodness on TV again.

Thanks for the heads-up on "Totally Gay".

Hey, during the show, keep your eyes peeled for the adorable VH1 commercial with kittens in leather singing The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop". It's hilarious!

[Jennpurr]

Oooooh, thanks for those pics, Rally.



Did they interview Melissa Etheridge?

Amber was as cute as ever



Gina...OMG just when I thought she couldn't get any sexier And when she was flicking her tongue



Eden and Olga, could they be any cuter?



And you're right xita, Jaime Pressly's tomboy comment was very interesting indeed

All that from just a few minutes of Amber on TV...!

Jaime had this to say in Maxim...

Quote:

What would be your game plan if, by some sci-fi plot twist, the only men left on earth to date were actors?

If it were possible to go lesbian, I would. I can’t, so I’d probably just be alone.

Is anyone a bit disturbed that there was not one single friggin' word about Willow and Tara? It's great that they interviewed Amber and all, but not one single solitary mention or clip of our favorite groundbreaking couple? Why?

I would have to agree with you...my gf and I kept saying, "ok...WHY aren't they showing at least a CLIP of Willow and Tara..?!"



My only logic is maybe was jealous that they asked Amber to be interviewed and not him, so he wouldn't let them have the footage. (cough...sharingissuesspotlightissuesadorationissues...cough)
