<title><![CDATA[Rick & Steve Season 2 Digisode: Super Powers!]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Steve-ie senses tingling! For our latest round of happy gay pillow talk, Rick & Steve do that passive-aggressive dance they love so well -- but this time it also involves super powers. Who doesn't spend time thinking about super powers?

Watch and discover which powers the boys would choose to have, were the world theirs. Here's a hint: Rick's super ego would be named Intelligentsia -- while Steve maintains "hot" trumps "smart" every time....

<description>
<![CDATA[

The latest polls are in, happy gay watchers! We hope you've recovered from the gay overload that was ComBloMeCon, 'cause we're about to revisit each and every gay blog destination. The real life gay blogger royalty was there, yes, but we wanted to know your favorite fake blog out of all of those convention booths and signs. Ah, the imagination runs wild thinking what kind of content you'd find at some of those dot-coms...

What was your pick? "Porn Porn Porn Porn," "Drooly Kos," "Beneath Elton," "My Life in Pies," or "Your Mama's A Blog?" Well, there was a clear winner in Porn Porn Porn Porn. Jeez! Now we know where your minds are, you dirty viewers! (We shouldn't be surprised; you are fans of Rick & Steve, after all.)

But tell us more! In light of this week's episode's retelling of The Wizard of Oz, we want to know what other gay re-telling you'd be curious to see. Check the choices to the left and cast your vote! (No comment on what Aladdin's "magic glow stick" would do...)...

<title><![CDATA[Episode 3 Sneak Preview! It's Mom Vs. Mom, Pussy Vs. Wiener]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Mom-fight!!! Well not yet, but when Steve's mom Joanna barges in to Rick and Steve's happy little homo home to announce she's moving in, it ain't pretty. Watch the above preview...Mom-wigs are gonna get yanked!

First, Joanna brings her dog, Wiener. Ahem! And Pussy -- Rick and Steve's kitty -- doesn't like that one bit. (Face it. It's very Pussy vs. Wiener in West Lahunga.) Then Joanna mistakes Rick's mom for the maid! Wrong-ness all around.

Tune in for this full-on new episode of maternal combat when it airs Tuesday, Dec. 2nd at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Logo. Heck, watch it with your own mom!...

<title><![CDATA[Rick & Steve Recaps with Evan! (Episode 202)]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Hey, everyone! Evan here again, and lemme tell you, last night's episode was a trip because I love fairy tales.

First off, Kirsten, Dana, Rick, Steve and their new baby Dixie got whisked up in a tornado! Yeah, already crazy, huh!

Steve and Dana decided to go to Emerald Joe's to get some gas, while Rick and Kirsten, who was freaking out that Dixie wasn't bonding with her, read Dixie a wacked out version of The Wizard of Oz, and that's when things got cruise-azy.

On the way to Emerald Joe's, Dana & Steve ran into me and Condie and Chuck, and we all needed stuff at Emerald Joe's, too.

But this witched-out drag queen Falaysha kept trying to get Dana's bra. Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either, but I can blame the years of drugs; what's your excuse?

Anyway, we all sort of got what we wanted at Emerald Joe's, and by the time Steve and Dana got back to Kirsten and Rick, Dixie was even bonding with Kirsten. Violently, but hey, some people like that. Dana and Steve started to bond, too, but it all went to crap; after all, this wasn't that much of a fairy tale!

Smooches crotches, bitches!...

<title><![CDATA[Rick & Steve Recaps with Evan! (Episode 201)]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Hey, bitches, it's Evan! The old people at LOGO have begged me to recap this season's episodes of Rick & Steve</b>. They give me fame and I give them my brilliant ideas - how cool is that?? I guess they wanted a younger, fresher voiced, better looking blogger than most networks have. And thinner. And did I mention younger?

So last night Dana was in labor. For 17 days. And you thought she was angry before! We found out she gets it from her parents Marlene and Saul, who showed up at the hospital and insulted each other in Jewishey ways.

Meanwhile, I started video blogging Dana's labor, and I became an internet superstar! I even got invited to ComBlowMeCon 2.0 where I met Perez Hilton, Trent Venegas, and Arianna Huffington Post! It was incredible, and I was a superstar. But as always, Chuck knew how to drag me back down to planet Evan. 

As if all that wasn't enough, Rick discovered Steve was a bigger ho in the past than he'd thought (personally, I don't see the problem), but just as they were making up, Kirsten called and said Dana was about to pop the baby out.

And surprise! It was a lady baby! So instead of Dick they named her Dicksy... spellcheck says Dixie. Whatever.

So let me be the first to welcome little Dixie to our West Lahunga Beach family. I can't wait until we can go clubbing together! Maybe next weekend?

Dana's mother Marlene loves her daughter with all her heart, even if she thinks Dana could lose a few pounds. She has these words for her ex-husband Saul: "There's Adolf Hitler, and then there's Saul."

Dana's father Saul is as proud of his lesbochick as he is angry at his ex-wife, Marlene, whom he loathingly refers to as "that dragonwoman." When not lavishing his grandchild with gifts, Saul enjoys griping about politics and watching Seinfeld.

Franz Nerdlinger is president and resident of the Hall of Men-Zuh, a gay brainiac paradise. Although Franz can repudiate Einstein’s theory of relativity in under 20 minutes, he has yet to get laid....

Check it out: After Dana's Scary Lesbian birth, the whole crew - with baby Dixie, too! - embarks on the consistently-pleasant drive home. Well, until Mother Nature intervenes and Kirsten begins to notice her biracial baby isn't looking so biracial... oops?

<title><![CDATA[Rick & Steve Urge You to Vote NO on Prop 8!]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Hey there! It's us, Rick and Steve. You might know us from our television show on Logo. We are writing to you today as a gay couple to urge you to vote against Proposition 8.
Prop 8 sucks! It basically says that the state of California will no longer allow gay and lesbian couples to get married. More than 11,000 same sex couples have gotten married already and it's not like straight marriage has crumbled. It has put millions of dollar into California's economy, too.

We have the same problems as straight couples. Steve leaves the toilet seat up. Rick wastes our hard drive space downloading Lost podcasts. Now, after years of struggle, we finally have the same rights and responsibilities as straight couples. Please don't let them take that away from us.

If you live in California, please vote No on Prop 8. If you don't live in California, get on the phone and tell everyone you know in California to vote No on Prop 8. And if you get basic cable, please watch our show when it premieres on November 11.

No on 8!!

xoxo,
Rick & Steve<br>
The Happiest Gay Couple In The World Who One Day Wants To Legally Marry So Don't Take That Right Away!...

<description>
<![CDATA[

Love is funny. Sometimes it's all flowers and cuddles, and then sometimes it's about slamming your beloved up against the headboard--in the right way. Kirsten and Dana, sweet devoted lovebirds that they are, understand.

In fact, just in time for Election Day, they break down a to-do list of who's ripe for a bit of rough-and-tumble grudge-sex. Sarah Palin, you might wanna open your six-pack! Cindy McCain, prepare to ride it "maverick"-style. And Elizabeth Hasselbeck--lady, there's a pair of lesbians in West Lahunga more than ready to broaden your "View."

And before you light that post-coital cigarette, remember: The all-new second season of Rick & Steve is coming at you on Tuesday, November 11th. Consider this all just foreplay. 

Happy Voting!...

<description>
<![CDATA[

With Rick & Steve's second, and possibly even more offensive, season gearing up, we're once again calling on you funny gays to get creative. We've been all for you putting things in our West Lahunga characters' mouths, and now you can put in even more – thanks to our Create Your Own Comic application's spiffy upgrade:

In addition to penning your own ultra-gay, ultra-raunchy storylines for the Rick & Steve crew to act out, you can now upload your own photos as comic backgrounds. Always wanted to see what Rick would look like in your basement? Well, now you can, pervs! You can even enter your strip at Downelink.com for a chance to win a trip to real-life West Lahunga, West Hollywood!

A few rules of decency do apply, however: a bit of a contradiction, we know -- Rick & Steve without obscenities? WTF?! -- but rules is rules. We don't want to see any nastiness or nakedness in your photo uploads; nothing illegal; nothing stolen. Got it, sickos? Don't upload a picture you don't own. Same goes for any personal info or phone numbers, commercial product shots and illegal activity or derogatory accusations. Whew... Well then, what's left? We know, we know... but you can still be funny. We have faith in you....

Holy crap! The premiere of season two of Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World is looming (coming on Tuesday, Nov. 11th), which means we're just days away from finding out what dyke-y Dana gave birth to. Will she and Kirsten be happy mombians? And will Rick and Steve find out who sired the little tadpole?

Meanwhile, Evan's been posting private videos ("Horny Troll in a Wheelchair!") on his new blog and Chuck has a cactus in his crotch about it! Ouch! Yup, this preview clip below shows us that West Lahunga's resident dirty daddy and his slutty boy-toy are still at it. Who knew getting into a sling could be so hazardous? 

Stay tuned for more previews. Can Evan and Chuck survive each other? Will Dana's baby be a boy? A girl? Both? Neither? Auuughh, the suspense......

<description>
<![CDATA[

Ah, Halloween... That time of year when gays use any excuse possible to don bodypaint and dash out of the house nearly naked, or in heels—or both—and behave badly.

Rick and Steve, standard-bearers of gaydom that they are, are no exception. But how come Steve always gets to dress in the trashy Halloween costume? Like, if they're going in tandem as Jesus and the Devil, who gets to wear the horns and spiked tail and slut it up, and who's gonna be holier-than-thou?

Watch Rick and Steve battle for Halloween slut-premacy! The notion of falling to your knees for Christ may never be the same.

And don't forget. The all-new second season of Rick & Steve is coming at you on Tuesday, November 11th. Boo!...

<title><![CDATA[Everybody Come Together! "Who Doesn't Love Sperm?"]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

When we last left preg-o Dana and her plastic crew in the delivery room, our pissed-off mom-to-be was about to pop. Damn that sperm for doing this to her! But we must never forget sperm -- whoever's it may be in this instance -- provides at least one good thing from this painful experience: another classic Rick & Steve musical number!

Yes, get ready to sing along as the whole, gay West Lahunga bunch breaks into song over the wonders of those little swimmers. Not only is sperm a part of every living creature -- as Evan so brilliantly puts it, "We're 80 percent water -- but 50 percent sperm!" -- the congeal-y goodness has a million-and-one household uses -- as the townsfolk demonstrate. Sing along and enjoy!

"Who Doesn't Love Sperm?"

From Ep. 201 "Labor Day"

Music: Meiro StammLyrics: Q. Allan Brocka

DANA
How the [BLEEP] did this happen?!

RICK
Well. It happened because of sperm.

KIRSTEN
Sperm.

DANA
I hate that term.

STEVE
What?!
(sings)
Sperm, sperm is a glorious term, term
Our life is confirmed
By those cute little worms
Who doesn't love sperm?

DANA
Me!

STEVE
Who doesn't love sperm?

RICK
You came to me and Steve
One glorious eve
I shot in a shot glass
To help her conceive.

STEVE
(whispering)
We both went in that glass.

RICK
Be quiet, you ass.

STEVE
Oh, make fun of me?
You worship like Lance Bass.

KIRSTEN
Our plan was well-hatched
But when getting a batch
We hit a rough patch...

STEVE
And some spilled in your--

RICK
Sperm, sperm is a glorious term, term!

CHUCK
If it wasn't for sperm
We'd do it like germs, germs.

KIRSTEN
Germs don't have sex.

CHUCK
Exactly.
(sings)
Who doesn't love sperm?

ALL BUT DANA
Who doesn't love sperm?

DANA
I hate where it comes from
I hate how it feels
I hate how it looks
And how it congeals

KIRSTEN
But it goes with our eggs
It makes us all one
So open your legs
And push out our son!

ALL BUT DANA
Sperm, sperm is a glorious term, term

EVAN
You're 80 percent water
But 50 percent sperm!

ALL BUT DANA
Who doesn't love sperm?!

DANA
Me!

ALL BUT DANA
Who doesn't love sperm?

TOWNSFOLK JOIN IN
Sperm! Sperm! Is a glorious term, term!
Everybody's made of sperm!
Doctors and lawyers and priests on their knees.

FATHER FIGURE
I'm made of sperm!

TOWNSFOLK
Kittens and horsies and birdies in trees!

BIRDIES IN A NEST
Sperm! Sperm! Sperm!

TOWNSFOLK
It's not just for conceptions
It's great at receptions
Re-assembling vases
Moisturize faces
Caulking your tiles
Whitening smiles
Perfume a diner
Build toys in China
With billions of uses
It always amuses
Who doesn't love sperm?!

DANA
Me!

TOWNSFOLK
Who doesn't love sperm?!
Who doesn't love...

STEVE
...Sperm!!

<title><![CDATA[Rick & Steve Season 2: Still The Happiest Gay Couple in All The World!]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

We're hoping you've recovered from your aggressive-pussy and angry-pregnancy hangover from the first season of The Happiest Gay Couple in All The World, because we have some earth-shattering news for you. Wake up and enjoy this cute little exchange between Peter Paige and Wilson Cruz - as in the voices of Steve and ... not Rick - as they make the happy announcement.

And as they said, Rick & Steve are back on LOGO for another season. That means you'll be going back to the gayfest of West Lahunga and reconnecting with all your old, offensive plastic, gay buddies. But where did we leave off? It's been quite a whirlwind, hasn't it? With an eager Evan in tow, Dana was wheel-barrowed to Dr. Hunk's office... ready to birth her baby. And how could we forget the camera shot from within Dana's vagina? And was it Rick's sperm or Steve's sperm that made it to Dana's surprisingly-receptive egg? Will the little bundle be a boy or a girl? ...Rosas?

You'll have to wait until the November 11th season premiere to find out. And don't worry, all the online goodies will still be around as the new episodes air....

All of those Rick & Steve crazies are really too much for one little show, and as much as we appreciate the Happiest Gay Couple, we had to ask you which of the show's many supporting cast members you think deserves their own spin-off show...Not surprisingly, the majority of you (31 percent) want to see more of The Bodiless Mute Blind Latina Lesbian in a Wheelchair. Let's face it: She got the airtime shaft, and she's gotta have a fantastic story to tell! (If only she could tell it.)And if anyone can bring the variety show back ... it's a bodiless, mute, blind, Latina lesbian in a wheelchair. That just screams comedy! (If by "scream" you mean the emphatic yet muffled grunts of a person with no lungs or vocal cords.)

<![CDATA[

Even though the fetus was just "two kicks away from Planned Parenthood," Dana's finally having her baby! Luckily, she was back to her J.A.B.-self (that's "Jewish American Bull-dyke") before her water broke. And I wonder if we've seen the last of the K-K-Gay in West Lahunga... That bit was so wrong and hilarious.

So much to choose from this week, but I particularly loved the Jai-from-Queer-Eye parody ("the cute one with nothing to do"), and the Roid-Aid anthem, "As Long As You're Hot." Ah ... too true, too true.

And I love the cliffhanger ending, but when do we get to see the baby? Can the next season start, like, now???...

<title><![CDATA[Alex Gorelick Serves it Hot at Cuppa Coffee]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

You didn't think those little plastic gays talked, moved and played with snap-ons all by themselves did you? Well, just remember you have Cuppa Coffee studios to thank for bringing to West Lahunga community to life. The Toronto-based company may be just 15 years old, but it's already grown into the largest stop-motion facility in the world. Along with production of Rick & Steve, Cuppa Coffee has created Celebrity Deathmatch for MTV and Starveillance for E! Networks, just to name a few.Alex Gorelick, who's worked with Cuppa Coffee for eight years, was at the helm of Rick & Steve production. We had a chance to chat with Alex about bringing the gay world of West Lahunga to life ... along with his wife's pregnancy during production and his favorite R&S character.
So tell me about your position with Cuppa Coffee? What was a typical day like working on R&S?I serve as technical director, which means I was the individual who facilitated Allan's vision. I had been with the company for a number of years, so I understood the different departments. Since Allan was new to the company, I was his right-hand man.

So how has filming R&S been? What's been different about it from other projects?It was different in many ways; it was a very research and development-heavy project because of the look Allan was going for. It differed so greatly from the other projects we had worked on.Usually shows are quite similar in their pipeline structures ... on R&S, because the characters themselves had to appear to be made out of plastic, the way you might find a toy on a shelf, we had to start from scratch in our sculpting and armature design process. That was a new thing for Cuppa Coffee.So we took the designs Allan brought, we translated them to a CG program, to let us see 3D dimensions of the characters, and once we had final approval from Allan and from Logo, we were able to get each puppet ... we would have each part poured, 30-40 parts to a puppet. In essence it was like building pieces of a car.It allowed for every single character to have this slick, finished polish and toy-like feel to it. It allowed the animators to have the exact same functional armature. We had to decide and figure out how these plastic toys would move and be able to stand up, in the same way.

So I understand from Allan your wife was pregnant during production. Did anything from Dana's pregnancy parallel your wife's pregnancy?Yes, there were some parallels at the time of my wife's pregnancy. Allan and I were going through the storyboards for the show, and as we would sit in front of a monitor, we would inevitably get to the baby scenes as the baby perceives the world coming out of the mother's vagina. It sort of paralleled what was coming for my wife, and what I would be seeing down the road. So we laughed a lot at the jokes the other characters were making about Dana, that they were things my wife might hear.
When she had the baby, did you tell your wife you were working on the storyboard for Dana's labor?She knew we were working on this show for quite a while, and she was actually very patient with me for a couple of months, because there were some long nights of Allan and I creating storyboards. It was pretty funny, we were sort of counting down the days of my wife's pregnancy and of laying out the whole show and hoping they would coincide.

What’s been the hardest thing to animate so far in the series?We really were able to achieve very complex scenes that otherwise would only be shot in live-action, because of the way Allan wanted the show to look. A "monster scene" was at the bow of a ship mimicking Titanic where Allan wanted to reference the CG stop of a camera passing left to right, while the boat was traveling and while the characters were animated.So in stop motion, the only way to do it was to set up a stage to pivot in a 360 rotation ... These giant, monster scenes appeared so many more times than would occur in a standard series. So we knew we were making something pretty spectacular in terms of cinematography. It may look simple, but it's one of the trickiest and one of the cleanest shows you'll find in stop-motion.There's this look, these are simple toys off the shelf, but if you look at it as a cinematographer, trying to create a sitcom-based style, but realize it's peppered with live-action, action-adventure movie scenes, you realize this is no small feat in stop-motion.

So who's your favorite Rick & Steve character?Allan and I shared an affinity for the very tall and gargantuan character, who used to be Dana's lover, Michaela. She is so fascinating to look at and to hold, you can't help but fall in love with her. She's a very large puppet and a very large personality. It's also funny Allan voiced her.
So Cuppa Coffee's been around for 15 years. How has it changed since you've been there? What do you hope will change in the future?I did my first project in 1999, and it has steadily grown and improved its technical capacity to produce work. Simply by virtue of growing, it's able to hire more talented individuals and by getting them all under the same roof, the creativity has gone up as well.And I think I can safely assume the same is going to happen in years to come. Bigger and bigger projects are coming to Cuppa Coffee....

<title><![CDATA[The Pooper Scoop: Ebony and Ivory]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Great to have you here, Ebony and Ivory. I met your adorable baby ... earlier and he &#8212; or she &#8212; is such a heartbreaker. What advice do you have for parents out there for raising a happy boy or girl?
Ivory: We prefer you say "she or he" and "girl or boy."
Ebony: With the feminine first.
Ivory: We've spent thousands of years forced to follow men.
Ebony: And there's no reason to perpetuate that in grammar.
Ivory: That's our advice.

We'll check back in with you in 13 years and see how that's going. Now there's a lot of talk about the West Lahunga Beach baby boom these days. What do you make of that?
Ebony: When we had our first baby&#8212;
Ivory: Harmony.
Ebony: Yes Harmony, we inspired the community. 
Ivory: Who wouldn’t want the very obvious happiness we have. Who?! Who but a bigot?
Ebony: Of course, Harmony had to be sent away.
Ivory: But we have Echinacea now.
Well let's get serious here. Ivory &#8212; isn't the simple act of having a child a validation of the patriarchy? Aren't you unconsciously trying to "be just like the straights," as you might say?
Ivory: You're such a man.
Ebony: Your stereotypes of lesbians are completely offensive.
Ivory: "Validation of the patriarchy"?
Ebony: Stop offending us.
New subject. Ebony, are you control freak?
Ivory: No asswipe, I’m the control freak.
Ebony: What she said.
Ok. Any final thoughts?
Ebony: This isn't for Fox News is it?
Ivory: Are we getting paid for this?...

<title><![CDATA[Happiest Gay Comic: The Rolling Who?]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

We're always on the lookout for fun fan creations. Here's a comic from snick, a member of the Rick & Steve community.

So what if someone shamelessly stole a joke from Absolutely Fabulous to create this comic? It's a fun little toy that everyone should try at least once. I guess Joanna's hair is very Patsy-like. As is her interest in her vagina, or plastic surgery, at any rate.
What are you waiting for? Try it, yourself!
Then join the community and say hi to snick!...

<title><![CDATA[The Pooper Scoop: Rick and Kirsten]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Rick and Kirsten &#8212; you've been friends for a long time, I see here in my notes. How did you meet?Rick: We met in college and we, um...Kirsten: Well, we sort of dated, right?Rick: Yes, but we'll save that story for another episode. In our lives.

Now Kirsten, I hear that many gays and lesbians prefer anonymous donation. Why Rick? No offense, Rick. You seem to have wonderful genes.Kirsten: I want Rick because he's smart, giving, caring, handsome, and ... well, I’ve always wanted a biracial baby.Rick: Kirsten!Kirsten: Is that bad?Rick: Of course it's bad! We're not accessories!Kirsten: Oh, should I want a white baby?Rick: Well, um. No. I don't know. All I know is racism is bad.Kirsten: Yes, racism is bad.Rick: Bad.
That's really touching. I need a moment. OK. Now, my team has done a little research, and it turns out that your respective partners aren't as &#8212; shall we say &#8212; enthusiastic about each other as you are. Thoughts?Kirsten: I don’t know what you’re talking about.Rick: Me neither.
My researchers point to Dana as more of the problem, but let's move on. Rick &#8212; do you and Steve have an open relationship? And if so, does that include impregnating Kirsten?Rick: We do not have an open relationship!Kirsten: And the only one impregnating me will be a cold sterile kitchen utensil.
I'm glad you've cleared that up. One last question: Have you decided what your baby will call the four of you? Mom, Dad, Papa, Ina, Mamu?Kirsten: No.Rick: Anderson, don't you know better than to ask a yes-or-no question?...

Playing the voice of Rick came quite naturally to Will Matthews: His audition for the part marked just his second try at voiceovers, and even better, he was told to use his normal voice. That, he reveals, earns a few jokes from his mom and really helps him pick up the ladies.

You can download this clip!
Before moving to West Lahunga, Will was actually a fixture on Punk'd, playing a field agent in quite a few episodes.
Will also confesses he and Rick share a few neuroses and that he never thought Rick & Steve would make it to TV &#8212; he must be glad he was wrong!...

<![CDATA[

First off, let me say I never thought I would hear an Aaliyah joke. (Remember Chuck saying, "Ten suitcases? Who are you, Aaliyah?") Good job, guys &#8212; that one definitely caught me off guard.

Where we left off, Kirsten's gotten over some of her motherly insecurities, and Evan's need for sex and to be a total flake have trumped the fun he had with Condi.

I loved that Margaret Cho played "the fag hag," and I was a big fan of the names of the new characters this episode (Arugula and Fellatia? Amazing.)....

Emily Brooke Hands voices Kirsten on Rick & Steve &#8212; and she's in love with her character. And she might even be as sweet as the character she plays.
Emily finds voiceover work liberating &#8212 meaning you can go crazy and not worry about how you look. Fun!

You can download this clip!. It's yours to keep!
Apparently, Emily really likes the gays. She's worked with Rick & Steve creator Q. Allan Brocka before &#8212 actually, a lot. She starred in both Eating Out and Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (the DVD mega-hit) as well as his more serious film, Boy Culture. And she's always good for a sharp and funny turn onscreen.
Keep an eye out for her. You're gonna see more soon! And you can also visit Emily Brooke Hands on MySpace. Stay sweet, Em!...

Hey! "Hotness" is not a factor in the Men-Zuh space, a haven from the shallow, gay horn-balls of West Lahunga. The higher brain functions required for even an entry-level game of Magicians and Wizards would probably overload your little one-track minds, so keep walkin'.

<title><![CDATA[Unhappiest Gay Poll Recap: Make it a Double, Condie!]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

The fans voted, and &#8212; poor Condie &#8212; the majority of you (37 percent) recommended she just stick with drugs, alcohol and fashion to fill the void in her life. But let's face it: That's really the only option for the hard-partying fag hag. After all, she would do more crying than her adopted baby, she'd be hard-pressed to find another gay to put up with her, and ... come on, self-esteem, shmelf-esteem. What's that ever done for anybody?...

<title><![CDATA[Happiest Gay Clip: The Lorna Luft Interview]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

The gayest show on TV boasts big gay voice talent (Alan Cumming, Wilson Cruz, Peter Paige) but none with a royal pedigree like Lorna Luft. Yep, the woman who lends her voice to Joanna, Steve's mother, is none other than Judy Garland's daughter!
Lorna happily explains how she got hooked up with the Rick & Steve crew &#8212; and how the show is smart social commentary, too! Hey, Judy would be proud!

You can download this clip! It's yours to keep!
Of course Lorna's been in the spotlight for years. As a kid, she performed onstage with her mom and half-sibs Liza and Joey on The Judy Garland Show, and toured for live shows with the brood as well. She made her Broadway debut in 1971 in the musical Promises, Promises, and has starred in tours of Guys & Dolls and Follies, among others. And just last winter, she hit the stage in London in a splashy production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas. (Ho, ho, ho!) She's recorded many albums, and still performs all over. And she has appeared in movies, such as Grease 2 (as Pink Lady Paulette Rebchuck) and in Where the Boys Are '84. 
And perhaps most successfully, she penned a bracingly honest book about her famous family and upbringing, Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir, which was made into the stellar TV miniseries, Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows, starring Judy Davis as her brilliantly talented and oft-manipulated and substance-abusing mother. 
Sure, she's never had the stardom of her super-famous sister Liza, but Lorna's always been a trooper and supported gay causes. And she's even popped up onstage with Rufus Wainwright at his Judy Garland tribute show at Carnegie Hall, which shows she's got a great sense of humor and perspective on the whole Garland/showbiz legacy. Not bad...
Thanks, Lorna!...

Performed by TOMCAT

It's raining Pussycats

Don't you cheat Pussy
For she will defeat you
Don't mistreat Pussy
Or she will delete you
She'll heat you, browbeat you
Eat, then excrete you

It's raining Pussycats
Pussycats
Pussy Pussy Puss
Pussy Pussy Puss
Pussycats

If you tap Pussy
Well, Pussy'll cap you
If you trap Pussy
Hell, she will kidnap you
She'll snap you, unwrap you
Scrap and bitch slap you

It's raining Pussycats
Pussycats
Pussy Pussy Puss
Pussy Pussy Puss
Pussycats

Taking a quick glance at Condie's to-do, we've earned at least three things about West Lahunga's ever-present fag hag. Oh &#8212; and Katie Holmes better watch herself.

One: Whatever "Condie Time" consists of, it takes four hours. Could it involve a bed, a personal device and images of Clay Aiken?

Two: Condie is a Clay-sian.

Three: Attempting to get back with Terence takes only five minutes, while Manuel and Jack each require 25. Hey, at least she's realistic &#8212; maybe Terence is getting too gay even for Condie's tastes, because it's not like her to give up.

Keep hope alive, girl!

<title><![CDATA[Happiest gay Clip: The Peter Paige Interview]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Peter Paige is all for inappropriate. The man behind Steve, or as Peter calls him, the "gym queen," discusses his role as one of the title characters. 

Peter says that although there's not much to Steve other than Creatine and chicken breasts, he's more than happy to play the part since the world could use some more inappropriate humor. 

Most gays would probably recognize Peter Paige from his role as Emmett Honeycutt on Showtime's Queer as Folk. But Peter's also an accomplished stage actor and has guest starred in Will & Grace</i>, Grey's Anatomy and Girlfriends.

Peter grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut, attended Boston University's School of Theatre and moved to L.A. to land his first part on Suddenly Susan.

He also recently starred in his feature directorial debut, Say Uncle, a comedy about a small-town community turning on Peter's character because they suspect he's a pedophile; he's also appeared in Don McKellar's Childstar. He's super-talented and knows how to rock a fedora, which we love.

Ladies and Gens, we give you... Peter Paige!

<title><![CDATA[Recapping Episode 4!]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Aaand, the fourth installment of Rick & Steve is in the books... we told you Pussy was freaky! (We just want to say that all of the movie parodies the writers stuck in during the Dana-cat battles were great.) And it turns out Rick and Steve aren't crazy- Pussy really can talk!

So where we left off, Pussy has a new home in the tool shed and has called off her minions' attack on Dana. Chuck has managed to stop Condi, the hag, from stealing his fag, and we've learned about Ursula Rodriguez, the first-ever fag hag of West Lahunga.

We loved that all the lesbians now use tasers as vibrators - and we hope we haven't seen the last of Dana's gigantic ex-girlfriend, Michaela. We're still not sure why they were called Michelle Wie Tasers, though... isn't she that golfer? Hmmmm...

And we have to admit, we still laugh so hard every time Kirsten or Dana get into their car and the radio plays, "I'm a lesbiaaaan." Such a hot jam....

This past week's poll asked "How do you feel about Pussy?" The results are in and 36% of you declare "Pussy Rules!" Which would be a ringing endorsement except that 32% of you are still scratching your head wondering "Is this a trick question?"

Whatevs... Either way (as usual), the dastardly Puss wins in the end. Meowwwww!!!...

<![CDATA[

Now that Dana's got a full-on bump going, everyone's preparing for the new baby's arrival. But a little misjudgment on Pussy's part leads to every West Lahunga cat harassing poor Dana. Note Pussy's wildly complex, take-down game-plan:

In her efforts to defend herself, Dana discovers something that puts traditional vibrators to shame and has all the lesbians drooling-- including Dana's ex, Michaela. Will the brilliant Poos be out-smarted by Miss Bernstein? Doubtful, but it could just be the "shock" of her life! Sorry, we couldn't resist...

Also (bonus!), we also meet one Miss Condoleeza Ling: the poor fag hag with a 17 boyfriends turned 17 fake suicide attempts track record (voiced by Margaret Cho!). She could be our favorite character (with exception to maybe the Bodiless Mute Blind Latina Lesbian in a Wheelchair), so 'ya best tune in!...

<title><![CDATA[Happiest Gay Clip: The Margaret Cho Interview]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

An admitted (and proud of it!) fag-hag herself, Margaret Cho chats about her role as Condi Ling on Rick & Steve.

Margaret admits playing the overly-dramatic Condi comes very naturally to her and that the life of a fag hag certainly has its perks. 

As Margaret has put it, "Fag hags are the backbone of the gay community" and without them, we're nothing, so Margaret's happy Condi's character shows that part, that essential part, of queer of life.

Margaret Cho was born and raised in San Francisco and began doing stand-up comedy at age 16, which often involved making fun of her quirky, Korean mother and her many gay friends. 

She enjoyed success in comedy, but Margaret also had her sights set on acting; in 1994, she starred in All-American Girl, the first sitcom about an Asian-American family. But after struggling with network execs, they cancelled the short-lived show, which ending up being the subject of her one-woman show, I'm the One that I Want. The performance was made into a concert-film as well as a best-selling book; Margaret followed up this success with Notorious C.H.O., which sold out Carnegie Hall.

Margaret continued her outrageous, passionate, pro-gay stand-up with a national tour in 2003, called Revolution, and then with her equally political performance, Assassin, in 2004.

She also took on her first movie, Bam Bam and Celeste, which she described as a fag and fag-hag Dumb And Dumber. She also hosts a monthly burlesque comedy show called The Sensuous Woman.

Margaret's been honored by GLAAD, the ACLU and National Organization of Women for her outspoken devotion to minorities, particularly to the struggle of women and the LGBT community in the U.S., and, most recently, she toured with True Colors!...

Hey, it's Evan. So everybody's been talking about The Simpsons Movie for the past few days. Um, here are my $.02 on the matter:

I love cartoons! Especially The Simpsons! But I wish they didn't have all that "social commentary" stuff &#8212; cartoons are supposed to be for silly fun, people! In my opinion, they shouldn't try to make statements about politics and social issues...
I can't wait to see the movie though!...

I have never seen a human who wanted to look like me so badly as today's Hottie, Amanda Lepore. Now, we all know it'll never happen, but I'll award her today's Hot Pussy of the Day on the basis of sheer persistence and determination. Wanna tip doll face? Real Pussies wear less mascara.

Nice rack, though....

<title><![CDATA[Happiest Gay Clip: The Wilson Cruz Interview]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Rick & Steve</i>'s Evan is West Lahunga's most loveable pill-popping party-boy twink, and its gets even better when you find out that he's voiced by one of the cutest, hardest-working out actors working today, Wilson Cruz!

In this interview, Cruz says he was shocked by the brave ballsiness of the Rick & Steve</i> script. And he loves it! Yep, he likes getting "verbal..."

Rick & Steve</i> marks Cruz's first time... Doing an animated series, that is. And how fun to think that those slutty bits of dialogue that chirp out of Evan's mouth come from the same sweet star who, as Junito, romanced Ricky on the last two seasons of Noah's Arc; and who first shot to fame playing a sweet and troubled gay teen named Rickie on the landmark angsty series My So-Called Life with Claire Danes. (OMG! Remember the Xmas episode when Ricky was homeless! I'm crying now just thinking about it!)

Of course, Cruz has appeared in a zillion gay indie films (yay!) including All Over Me, Johns, Bam Bam and Celeste and Coffee Date, and he even played Michael Alig's boyfriend/victim in the messy Macaulay Culkin-flick Party Monster. Ouch!

Cruz has also appeared in mainstream fare, too. He's appeared in Oliver Stone's Nixon and TV shows like Party of Five, ER, Ally McBeal, Monk and Navy NCIS. Wurk! And not so long ago, AfterElton declared Cruz one of the hottest gay men of color on TV. Congrats!

And onstage, he played Angel in RENT, and he's popped up on those glossy GLAAD award shows, including this past year when he got to get smoochy with big strapping TV-landscaping stud Eduardo Xol.

Standin' there...

Smootchin' there!

Evan would most definitely approve.

<title><![CDATA[This One Goes Out to Evan Martinez]]></title>

<description>
<![CDATA[

Ahem, we've got some lyrics for that magical group rendition of "Evan's Song" from Episode 3... Enjoy!

"Evan's Song"
Music by Robert Lopez & Jeff Marx, Lyrics by Q. Allan Brocka
Performed by AIDS AID

JUDITH LIGHT:
Evan I feel you touching me from heaven
I know that what killed you was hate
Not guns or a drunk on the interstate

CHARO MARTINEZ:
My little playing in the cloud
Skipping and dancing 
He singing so loud
My little Evan
He smiling to me
When will we be as free as he?

BEN AFFLECK:
Evan I’m sad as I was on 9/11
Join me celebrities don’t be nervous 
Singing this counts as community service

COMMUNITY SERVICE CELEBRITIES:
Evan we feel you touching us from heaven
(You’re in heaven!)
We know that what killed you was hate
Not guns or a drunk on the interstate
