Via producers Jonny “The Gay Pimp” McGovern and Adam Joseph comes this Kevin Aviance cover of Britney Spears’ Gimme More. To date, Aviance has scored five #1 hits on Billboard’s dance chart. Aviance has bounded back from his brutal 2006 gay bashing in NYC, after which all four of his cowardly assailants received prison sentences of up to 15 years.

The legendary Jackie Beat is really really NSFW.

Simon Doonan, the openly gay creative director of Barney’s, was hired last month to decorate the White House for the holidays. Cue the wingnuts, who are now completely losing their shit because of a few ornaments Doonan hung on one of the White House’s many Christmas trees. Adorning one of the ornaments is a signed photo from NYC drag star …

RuPaul is promoting the second season of her hit LOGO series Rupaul’s Drag Race with a dig at Sarah Palin. If you recall, I got ridiculously engrossed in last season’s show – to the point where I actually squealed a little bit when I met the out-of-drag Nina Flowers on the dance floor at the Black Party. Season two begins …

On YouTube since September, missed it until now. (Tipped by JMG reader Calvin.)

Have you ever done drag? Even just for Halloween?

Just weeks after they fired a staffer for writing a homophobic email, Atlanta’s Morehouse College has issued a new dress code banning its all-male student body from wearing women’s clothes. Surprisingly, the college’s gay student group endorsed the change. No dress-wearing is part of a larger dress code launched this week that Morehouse College is calling its “Appropriate Attire Policy.” …

I watched this about ten times last night on Live Leak, where the comments are great. Two thugs who attacked what they thought were a pair of transvestites picked on the wrong men – when their intended victims turned out to be cage fighters on a night out in fancy dress. Dean Gardener, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, singled out …

Before he enrolled, school officials at a Kennesaw, Georgia high school assured Jonathan Escobar, 16, that he would be allowed to cross-dress as he pleased. But after a fight erupted between one of Jonathan’s supporters and one of his tormentors, the school told him that he was in violation of their “no disruptive clothing” policy. He dropped out after four …

San Francisco drag legend Donna Sachet made history last week when she became the first drag performer to sing the national anthem at a major league baseball game. The home team Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4. I think this is the first time I’ve seen Donna without her trademark red dress.

The mayor of East Cleveland, Ohio has found himself in the middle of a controversy after photos of him in drag (NSFW) were leaked, presumably by his opponent. Barring the possibility that he’s campaigned against LGBT rights, who the hell cares how the mayor gets his private jollies? Cross-dressing is not a crime, but it will surely be the end …

Saying that transsexual prostitutes were using Craigslist to hook up at his bar, the owner of the Chicago-area Hunters Nightclub has ordered that all patrons must have an ID listing a gender which matches their appearance. Under the new admission rule, cross-dressers must have a government-issued photo ID that looks like the person presenting it at the bar. That, of …

Judge Piers Morgan on drag troupe Diva League after their performance on America’s Got Talent: “There’s no easy way of putting this. We are trying to find an act that can represent America on the world stage From where I sit, a bunch of lip-synching old drag queens who can’t dance is not what America needs right now. It’s not …

“Men have been imitating me for as long as I can remember. In fact, most of the impersonations I have seen have had a five-o’clock shadow. I imagine, when or if Johnny should portray me, he will succeed. Because a true artist, such as himself, is one who loves his or her creation and therefore represents their honest view of …

“My dream role would be to play musical legend Carol Channing in a biopic of her life. I love her, I really do. She’s amazing. With all the digital technology available these days I could probably pull it off. I’d have a go at playing a 12-year-old girl if they asked me to.” – Johnny Depp, speaking to the UK’s …
