Another fresh week, another wisely-timed, brand-sustaining
nugget of Glee-related news. The kids are spending the summer touring the
nation and their show will be captured for a live 3D concert film due in
August, but now news has emerged that Naya Rivera – who’s stolen countless
scenes this season as the tart-tongued and secretly lesbian Santana, the terror
of Lima Heights Adjacent – will be releasing a solo album. Columbia Records is
behind her CD, which she’ll start taping after the summer tour; the
not-yet-titled record makes her the third of Glee gang to go solo, following
Mark Salling (Puck) and Matthew Morrison’s forays into the field. No one’s
talking about what style of music Rivera will be recording, and given the range
of material she’s performed on the show – "River Deep, Mountain High,"
"Landslide," songs from Rocky Horror – it’s anyone’s guess. But if she can
bowl over audiences with her singing and her comic abilities, so much the
better for her post-Glee career.
Chloe Sevigny summons her killer instinct
With Big Love behind her, Chloe Sevigny seems to be ready
to let the bodies pile up. She’s been talking about producing and starring in
an HBO project about ax-murderer Lizzie Borden – who may or may not have been a
lesbian – and now she’s set to play a pre-op MTF trans assassin for a new,
as-yet-untitled Irish miniseries from some of the people behind the scandalous
BBC show Skins, which was remade for not-at-all-ready-for-it American
audiences by MTV. (Sevigny is also rumored to be appearing in one of gay comic
Drew Droege’s lovingly satirical "Chloe" YouTube videos, but that’s another
story.) Regarding her transgender hit lady, Sevigny says the producers very
intentionally didn’t cast a male actor, so she’s going to play it feminine and
glamorous – and in an Irish accent, to boot – so we totally can’t wait for the
show to make it to these shores.
Bryan Singer wants Jaime Winstone to kill
Bryan Singer, as ever, remains as busy as a very gay bee –
he’s directing Jack the Giant Killer starring Nicholas Hoult of X-Men: First
Class (which Singer produced), and he signed on as an executive producer of
the much-anticipated queer documentary Activist: The Times of Vito Russo,
about the groundbreaking author of The Celluloid Closet. Also on Singer’s
substantial "to do" list is producing – and here’s a title for the Internet
generation – uwantmetokillhim?, about two teen boys who meet online and wind
up hatching a murder plot. No word yet on who will play the homicidal
adolescents, but the cast will include the glamorous Jaime Winstone, who played
an auto worker and would-be model in last year’s UK sleeper Made in Dagenham.
Get ready to tweet an invite to your friends to go see uwantmetokillhim? when
it opens next year.
Somebody please let Amber Heard Drive Angry again
Patrick Lussier, the director of the
not-seen-by-nearly-enough-people Drive Angry is currently in the business of
doing two things: 1) promoting the DVD/Blu-ray release of that movie and 2)
teasing lustful lesbians everywhere with the promise of a sequel, one that
should, by rights, be titled Drive Angry 2: The Angriering. And a sequel
would mean more Amber Heard, who may be the sexiest and youngest openly lesbian
actress Hollywood has right now. Lussier told MTV news that depending on the
home viewing receipts the movie scares up, a sequel to the crazy
save-the-baby-from-a-satanic-cult-via-fast-driving action movie could very well
shift into gear. He also promises to kill every single character in it if it
happens, which would mean no more Amber for part three. But whatever, somebody
in Hollywood with money needs to give this shlocky visionary the green light
his project deserves.

Romeo San Vicente understands that women are just way more interesting than men. Sorry guys.
