– To ease into it all, let’s start with something uplifting. Remember that video of Irish drag performer and activist Panti Bliss that went viral?

– Now that Season 1 of HBO’s Looking has come to a close, Funny or Die has their own take on the TV show: enter Not Looking, a satirical five-episode web series featuring Drew Droege (ie “Chloe Sevigny”) in the cast.
– Speaking of HBO, the channel has leaked a teaser for its adaptation of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart, starring Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts.
– Lindsay Lohan has a new reality series on OWN. Gawker’s Rich Juzwiak takes a glance at what it’s like to be Lindsay when she’s not playing water war with Jimmy Fallon.
