The biggest news this week hasn't gone down that well. "Feeding Tube Diet," anyone?

The recent New York Times article about a new diet fad among brides-to-be has generated a flood of headlines and outrage. And rightly so. Who could have predicted that such extreme dieting methods...

Jeffrey Dean Morgan may be one of the hottest draws on television this spring. The actor best known for playing Denny Duquette on the ABC hit Grey's Anatomy, has been generating buzz for his highly anticipated new drama series, Magic City, which debuts on Starz this...

Chris Rene's celebrity soared thanks to a triumphant run on The X Factor last season. But even though the passionate singer missed nabbing the covered first place prize, grabbing third instead, he, like James Durbin (of American Idol fame) before him, has managed to...

San Francisco loves its success stories, especially when they revolve around the big bright lights of entertainment. All this should make the week more interesting when a fierce creative posse, which includes CeCe Peniston, Mary Wilson, Linda Lavin, Pia Zadora and New York transplant/drummer extraordinaire Tommy Igoe, hit

Whether he's playing a revered Jedi (Star Wars I, II, III) or a befuddled albeit loyal son (Beginners), Ewan McGregor sports a certain élan not often present in most of today's leading men -- aside from George Clooney perhaps. Having discernment for the roles he takes on certainly helps, but...

Embracing your inner activist and becoming willing to take action and/or help generate positive change in some way isn't always a smooth ride. Let's face it, even those of us who are open-minded and eager to plant a big, fat juicy kiss on the mouth of life -- as often...

Big buzz and Don Cheadle make for perfect bedfellows this week. For starters, the popular star of Hotel Rwanda and the Iron Man films, among others, took to the long-form Twitter service, TwitLonger -- yes, it exists -- to defend the use of the word "gangster," which he used to...

Break out the cheesecake. In a fairy tale that only San Francisco could give birth to, four mischievous drag queens are revitalizing television's most celebrated characters, The Golden Girls.

But this isn't the first time the local Fab Four have slipped into the houseslippers of television's most endearing stars...

There's one thing that could be said about Cirque du Soleil: the performing arts titans can take on any subject matter and balance it with grace and bravura. That's certainly the case with the group's latest touring show, Totem. The venture recently hit San Francisco for an extended run before...

Life off of Wisteria Lane continues to be quite stellar for Dana Delany. In fact, ever since her exit from ABC's Desperate Housewives, Delany has been enjoying a wildly successful ride on her new show, Body of Proof, which debuted in spring and has been gaining...

Face it: The future has arrived and in the entertainment world, it looks a lot like the past -- sans the happy take-away vibe. In one corner: TV's Charlie's Angels. (Note to Drew Barrymore: Love you, but next time, pull in better writers.) In another: the Footloose reboot, which, critically,...

Looks like the warlock is still winning. After generating, then dominating headlines all year for his outspokenness and unconventional romps--you've read the Tweets, become addicted to the "downward spiral" updates, wondered about the live-in "goddesses" and all that Tiger's Blood--Charlie Sheen walked out of his Comedy Central Roast...

Now that Robert Wagner is out as the voice of Charlie on ABC's much-anticipated Angels reboot this fall starring Rachael Taylor (Abby), Minka Kelly (Eve) and Annie Honzeh (Kate), all eyes--make that ears--are on who will mouth the iconic boss.

"But I think what we're looking for in...

Six years ago, Bay Area photographer Jana Marcus turned heads with her photography exhibit "Transfigurations: The Making of a Man," a stunning if not illuminating body of work that explored (and exposed) the journey of transgender men through vivid photographs and commentary from its subjects. The work was...

These are certainly wonderful times for Armistead Maupin -- and imagine the tales he'll be telling a year from now. For starters, the musical stage adaptation of his beloved Tales of the City literary saga -- combining his first two books, Tales, and More Tales of the City --...

Roseanne Barr has balls. We all know that. So when the comic proclaims, "the solution to all of the world's problems starts with my nuts" in her new reality outing, two things happen. 1) You laugh. 2) You find yourself happy that the woman is back.

And apparently in...

The floats passed by me. The celebrations happened. The rainbow flags were waved -- some, in fact were worn (as underwear). So how is it that I came out the other side of Gay Pride month (June) more confused then ever?

Fear not, fellow gays, I'm not turning straight. I'm...

I don't know about you, but couldn't we really use a genie right about now? Imagine the things that could change with a blink of the eyes. (Actually, the thought of the Kardashians disappearing from the television landscape sounds quite inviting but there is more pressing business --...

It's been more than a decade since Sandra Bernhard officially gave birth to a comedy album so it's fitting that, during Gay Pride month, she delivers a powerfully engaging gem in I Love Being Me, Don't You?

Yes--we do love you being you, dear Sandra.

Bernhard performed...

The red carpet was true blue and the night officially Rökk'd thanks to hip sponsor Rökk Vodka -- mighty generous in donations -- but those attending the recent 22nd annual GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco were genuinely moved by the heroic efforts the famed organization has executed...
