Everything looks to be active again.

… down the merry path back to active. We’re projecting the site being back mid-day. Thank you so, so much for your patience.

We seem to be having some technical difficulties; I’m working with our hosting service to get to the root of the problem.

Hang on, we’ll be back soon!

Very funny.

It’s time for that totally-’80s get-up to come out of the closet! Cyndi Lauper and Co. (including co-headliner the B-52s!) will bring the re-launched True Colors Tour, which will raise voting awareness and funds for LGBT advocacy groups, to Michigan on June 11 at DTE Energy. Rosie O’ Donnell, the Indigo Girls (how lesbian of them!), Regina Spektor and Joan Jett are all part of the line-up, with some stops including spots from Tegan & Sara, Wanda Sykes (I always knew!) and The Cliks. Fab Fiver Carson Kressley will host what will absolutely be one of the gayest concerts since Cher’s first, second and third Detroit farewell shows. Everyone woo-hoo with me! And then go throw on some funky ’80s dress, dye your hair red and dance around to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” – ’cause, come summer, we will be! 

Madonna’s saving the world in four minutes with her new Justin Timberlake-paired single – and, in even less time, saving gay fans from a two-and-a-half-year no-Madge drought. Thanks be to the Gay God for delivering new Janet and Mary J. albums, and a tongue-in-cheek dirty cut from Mariah, in the meantime. “4 Minutes to Save the World,” the (leaked) bouncy first single from Madonna’s 11th studio album, “Hard Candy” (the follow-up to 2005’s “Confessions on a Dance Floor”), is a colorful, psychedelic romp featuring J.T., whom she plays sonic ping-pong with, trading verses about an impending apocalypse. Yeah – don’t be fooled by the beat, which boasts marching-band horns and cracklin’ drums, and could’ve smoothly bled into the dance grooves on Timberlake’s “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” Madonna’s final words are, simply, “tick tock tick tock tick tock” – and there’s no doubt ya’ll will be tick-tocking until you can ear-swallow “Hard Candy” on April 29 (just two weeks after the follow-up to Mimi’s mammoth comeback release – yikes!).What do you think of Madonna’s “4 Minutes to Save the World”? Will “Hard Candy” taste sweeter than Mariah’s “E=MC²? Tell us!
