Margaret Cho FINGERBANGS LA!

Tomorrow night, January 27, it's Margaret's musical extravaganza Fingerbang! She likens it to Hee-Haw, but less country and less corny. Our gal has gotten "guitarded" (her word, not mine) and has been singing songs such as "Eat Me Out" (on the Beautiful tour) and a Repeal Prop 8 ditty.

She'll be joined by Jill Sobule (she was kissing girls in the '90s, long before Katy Perry) as well as "Sensuous Woman" costars Liam Sullivan, Ian Harvie, Kurt Hall and Selene Luna. Check Margaret's site for info. Of course I'll be there and I'll report back on the festivities. I can't wait!!

Margaret on The Doctors Today!

Hey, don't miss Margaret co-hosting the syndicated show The Doctors today. It's supposed to be their vagina episode. Sounds awesome to me!

If you're in LA, hit up The Ian Harvie Show tonight. Selene Luna and a "surprise guest" are appearing.

*Side Note: Go here and vote for Ian Harvie to be on LOGO's Big Gay Sketch Show. You can vote once every 24 hours!

Margaret Cho: Drop Dead Diva


Happy New Year everyone! OK, obviously I have been slacking, but it's hard to top getting props from Margaret Cho on her blog. (Yes, I had to mention it again.) Check out all these goodies:

First of all, Lifetime has picked up the show Drop Dead Diva starring our own lovely and talented comic goddess. A few months back, Margaret had to rearrange a few live performances to shoot the pilot. The show also stars Broadway actress Brooke Elliott and is about "a shallow model-in-training who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney." No word on who plays what role.

The comedic drama will air on Lifetime this summer! It will be great to see La Cho in a scripted show that sounds as if it will be quirky and unique. What's next, a SAG Award? An Emmy or a Golden Globe? The sky's the limit for our fearless gal!



Speaking of which, check out Margaret and Selene Luna in the new Coilhouse magazine. It looks like Selene is on the front cover and Margaret is on the back. If I didn't know better, I'd swear they are wearing the same hair! The photos are badass, and the birds look kind of ominous. Where the hell is Tippi Hedren?

Divalicious Selene appears in My Bloody Valentine 3D, which opens this weekend. It's the remake of a 1981 horror classic. You can catch it in 3D or traditional 2D.

If you love satire, you must see this hilarious Madonna & Lourdes sendup starring the multi-talented Selene as Lourdes. If the still shot doesn't kill you, the video will! It's just wrong... but oh so right!
