Two recent episodes of two of the major-network TV shows that I watch religiously (the just-renewed Nashville and the just-canceled Smash ) got me thinking: Either television has become way too predictable in its old age, or in mine, I spend so much time watching it (usually on my laptop) that it no longer has the capacity to catch me off guard. (Regarding Smash 's cancellation and Nashville 's renewal, both of which were announced on May 10, is there only room in prime-time for two musicals featuring original songs and dueling [...]

A spat between Azealia Banks and Perez Hilton normally need not detain us, but given that it has now managed to generate one of the weakest defences of bad behaviour since "it was different in the 1970s", let's bring ourselves up to speed. It all started when Banks recorded a song "dissing" Angel Haze. Perez Hilton - who apparently is still going - upbraided Banks for doing this. Banks then reacted by going onto Twitter: ‘Omg u should just kill yourself… Like for real… lol what a messy faggot you are.’ Even [...]

Trash-pop diva  Ke$ha   may have cleaned up her act a little on the cover of  Seventeen   magazine (that kitten shot!), but she's as fearless as ever in the accompanying interview, covering a litany of subjects from haters to bullying. (That may not be a "litany," but you get the general idea.) The biggest revelation, though (which probably isn't actually that much of a revelation because, y'know, it's Ke$ha, and also we've heard this type of thing from many other female performers before), is that K$ explained that she isn't too particular when [...]

"With a collection of memories sung with painful honesty, Frank Ocean is certainly not your typical r'n'b singer..." Frank Ocean  |  Channel Orange Despite last year's release of the mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra , even less than one month ago Frank Ocean would have slipped (relatively) under the radar, having had only gradual songwriting success for artists such as John Legend and Brandy. Now, his time has come, and not just because of his first major studio album Channel Orange , but perhaps because he has decided to announce his bisexuality on the [...]

Frank Ocean - Pyramids Waking up this morning, we were greeted with an announcement from Frank Ocean that he is bisexual. Rumours about Ocean’s sexuality had been circulating for a little while – a few journalists have been given the chance to hear Ocean’s forthcoming Channel Orange album ahead of its release and it emerged that it includes a number of love songs addressed to men. Despite the speculation, the announcement still hit with a fair amount of force – for a man operating within the R&B world (though Ocean would describe [...]

Soul crooner, Frank Ocean came out via his tumblr page in the form of a screen shot he posted of an open letter telling his story of falling in love with a man, a very moving tale. Big Ups to YOU, Frank, for doing you. In other news, this shouldn’t be as big a deal as twitter would have you think.. He’s definitely not the first gay rapper/singer in the game, and won’t be the last. That said, discrimination based on sexual preference is absurd and we at City Hall applaud Frank Ocean (you too Anderson) for bravely [...]

Every few years, you can feel major cultural shifts happen. Homosexuality, especially in hip-hop/R&B culture, has been a complicated issue for years. Lately, it seems to be opening up—the general consensus, or at least the perception of it, is changing. More artists are stepping forward to openly support gay rights, and the openness to differences, whatever they may be, seems to be at an all-time high. A couple of days ago there was some speculation that Frank Ocean "comes out" through some revealing lyrics on his upcoming album,  Channel Orange . Tonight, the singer shared a personal note, [...]

The Sun has been dribbling out extracts from the Simon Cowell book all week - the suspicion that Sun staff might struggle with the reading borne out by the fact that it appears to take two people to copy chunks out and pretend it is interesting. They've bought a second book, too, a muck-rakey story about Jessie J. As a result, today's front page is especially unedifying: Jessie gay Simon NOT gay Voice star 'is a secret lesbian' Cowell: I'm totally straight POP beauty Jessie J is 100 per cent lesbian, an explosive book claims. Yes, [...]

Same person, different bodies? To be or not to be... gay. That is the question. And according to one of my friends, one whose opinion I not only value but usually agree with, it's a question whose answer -- along with everything that we are, beyond the physical -- is determined solely by our environment. In other words, just as the language(s) with which we are raised determines the one(s) we end up speaking, the environment in which we grow up determines the gender we end up wanting to sleep [...]

Crazy : "With the help of robot submersibles, researchers have discovered that the deep sea squid Octopoteuthis deletron is a promiscuous bisexual creature. Males of the species implant their sperm into males just as often as they do females. And there's photographic evidence." Tweet

Taylor Momsen put on a raunchy show as she performed in Barcelona last night. As half-dressed girls danced around her onstage, Momsen began grinding in the lap of a young female fan. Last month, Momsen attended the U.K.'s Download festival in a cut-up T-shirt that exposed her breasts with her nipples covered in electrical tape. And it's not just her appearance that's so shocking. In an interview last year with Revolver magazine , the teen talked frankly about sex. Taylor said, "If it's a good sex tape, I'll watch [...]

Lindsay Lohan is in Australia today and guest hosted the Kyle and Jackie O radio program early this morning. Kyle and Jackie had Lindsay opening up about EVERYTHING - From the show Glee , to her sexuality, to her community service. Lindsay confessed that when she's in Los Angeles, she doesn't leave her house much and watches a ton of television. When asked if she watched the show Glee , she responded with no. Lohan was [...]

I can't fucking stand Lady Gaga. She fancies herself the new century's Madonna but lacks the (titularly ineffaceable) queen of pop's sex appeal and cunning. And, much like her better, Gaga concerns herself with queerdom. She takes the concern to a new level, however, and has basically assumed the role of Head Queer Spokeswoman despite, uh, her repeated acts of retardation that fly in the face of progressive queer politics. Born This Way, both the single and the video, follow from the same idiotic mindset of her taking it upon herself to represent the aberrant sexualities. [...]

Many people are saying that hey saw this coming, but we truly didn't expect it. We know only a few songs of his. He has come out as a bisexual man. Yes, it's about time for some exposure in the urban music world. This is his official statement: “I pride myself in being an honest, God Fearing, respectful man. I have kept my personal life private and wanted to keep it that way. Unfortunately, other’s are interested in profiting from my anguish; so before they can do that, i will clarify things. I am not [...]

At a Pride rally in Nashville, Tenn., June 19, Vanessa Carlton announced she was happily bisexual. This is the first time the singer publicly announced her sexuality,  saying, "I've never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman." Carlton is most notable for walking those thousands of miles and crooning over teenage angst and white houses, with her last album,  Heroes & Thieves , released in 2007. - Justin McCraw Filed under: Beats , Sappholand , [...]

Sia is preparing to sort of retire from music - or at least the music industry : "I'm going to promote the shit out of this record. I'm seeing it as an investment. "After this record I'll make records and I'll put them out but I will not promote or tour them. I'll just write pop songs for other people." And the main reason she's quitting? Partly the demands of the major labels - in her case, Sony: "I've never been a 'priority' before," she told The Age. "This [...]

Rihanna is playing with lesbianism for her new video. Probably to shock and not really to make a statement. It's nice to see a big star play the role themselves, but we are afraid, just like Katy Perry, Rihanna is just being a "boner dyke" as Beth Ditto puts it. It's not about progress, it's about shifting records. Filed under: Beats , Clip Tagged: amo , bisexual , download , leak , lesbian , lesbianism , new , r , rated , rihanna , [...]

Even the News Of The World's Dan Wootton can't really work up any surprise over Amy Winehouse muttering that she sometimes likes girls: I think we all had our suspicions Actually, Dan, I'm pretty sure I've read this story about sixteen times before anyway. Still, Dan runs it like we're going to grab the arms of our chairs and shriek 'never! never!' but, really, it's a bit like holding space over to reveal that Brett Anderson needs a belt to keep his trousers up.
