One Direction will appear at GAY

The tabloids are full of One Direction shots as this week the X Factor is now down to 9 contestants. One Direction are going to be the next Take That. The act which is voted off always appears in Londons biggest gay club, GAY thanks to an amazing coup by Jeremy Joseph. It does go to show that X Factor considers its gay audience an important sector to back the acts. Sharon Osborne always used to say that boys bands like One Direction should definitely get the gays behind them (although I think she meant it metaphorically not physically). 

We might go to see One Direction at GAY

Erasure demands respect for gay bully victims

Erasure's "A Little Respect" in the eighties quickly became an iconic song for the gay community and has been adopted as one of our most played anthems (especially in the RVT). There have been thousands of cover versions (the Almighty Records ones are best) but now Erasure are re-releasing "A Little Respect" with proceeeds going to The Hetrick-Martin Institute (home of the Harvey Milk High School) and Cyndi Lauper's charity the True Colors Fund. "

A Little Respect" comes with a movie style video which was inspired by the bullying incidents occurring recently in the USA. Andy Bell from Erasure felt the need to act - "I am honored and moved beyond words to serve as an Ambassador to the The Hetrick-Martin Institute. Every opportunity we have to spread tolerance and compassion must be seized and I will take special pride in doing so on HMI's behalf." Erasure's "A Little Respect" is available for download in December and all proceeds are going to the The Hetrick-Martin Institute and the True Colors Fund.

One Direction - Trouble in Da House

There is trouble in the house - the X Factor house that is, between the boys in One Direction. Inside the house the boys are bitchin and fighting for the mirror. Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zain Malik and Niall Horan have been doing really well with X factor fans, so much so that there is plenty of cat calling and nail scratching over who is the most popular.

There is so much friction in the group. The other boys are jealous that Harry and Liam are getting all the press attention. It’s a real sore point.

Louis [Tomlinson], Niall [Horan] and Zain [Malik] are worried that they aren’t as popular and that no-one knows who they are.

Liam’s mother is adding to the heat by telling him to scratch those other boys eyes out, as he is the most popular. She said this week “Liam has a very strong following. “I can’t speak for the other boys, I don’t know about their solo careers, but Liam gigged all over the country so he has both options open really.”

Well there you go.

Mums the word.

Matthew Morrison, Chord Overstreet & Cory Monteith in shirtless Glee

The new season of Glee is well underway here in the UK, but I haven't watched any of them yet! Too busy with holidays and selling the house. Last week we were in Barmouth in Wales in a caravan for a week. It was really cool to get away, but there was NO television reception. What I missed was the guys from Glee getting their shirts off in their production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. How camp can Glee get?

Matthew Morrison (hot hot hot)

Cory Monteith

Cory doesn't have a hair on his chest AND its getting a bit saggy. You are supposed to be the Quarterback Cory. You need to hit the gym Cory! And get a pair of man bikini briefs.

I havent seen anything of the new sexy blond boy, Chord Overstreet, but he gets his kit off as Rocky.

Tell me guys, leave a comment - WHO has the best chest?

Corrie,
Chord or
Matthew?
