  I'm here, I'm queer and Rufus Wainwright's looks and singing do nothing for me.

  Somebody needed to say it. I'm just not into adult men who still look like somebody you never noticed in junior high study hall until you saw somebody else beating them up. And of my friends who went to his Hollywood Bowl concert (you couldn't have paid me to go), half said they were disappointed that he was unable to actually sing the songs (with Wainwright even acknowleding onstage his own inablity to hit the notes or sing in key) and the other half said that he was brilliant because his not being able to sing the songs was the whole point. Huh?

  And not wanting to miss a chance to turn anything political, how disappointing that you have what I believe to be the only queer male writer of this piece qualify his attraction to Will Arnett by saying that he's usually not attracted to men who are tall, have natural hairlines, deep voices and behave in a masculine manner. In other words, he's a queer man who's not attracted to men who look and act like men. I'm really not sure what the point of his being queer is, then, but there's always Rufus Wainwright for him, I guess.

  On the other hand, kudos for the choice of John Amaechi. At the risk of name-dropping, I've had the pleasure of hanging with him and that, ladies and gentleman, is the real deal. His sheer size and handsomeness combined with his intellect would take your breath away except for his being so extraordinarily personable and charming, you feel like you're in the presence of an old friend. Albeit a mind-bogglingly hot old friend.
