“Love. Light. Leslie.” became the theme of the day following a private funeral held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for actor, singer, and comedian Leslie Jordan, who died last month at age 67 following a fatal car crash. In a public memorial of the same name, his hometown rallied together more than 2,000 people to celebrate his life.
“We knew, we knew how special Leslie was gonna be from the time he was tiny,” Jordan’s younger sister Jana Lynn “Cricket” Jordan emotionally recalled at the event. “Mama used to say, ‘He would go by the nativity set,...

It’s an unexpected Bravo crossover on this week’s all-new episode of Below Deck, and Et has your exclusive first look.
Chief stew Kate Chastain and chef Ben Robinson have a major blow up in the galley, and it’s so loud that the charter guests can hear it. And get this -- those guests just so happen to be Emerson Collins and Blake McIver from Bravo’s The People’s Couch!
Watch: Take a Tour of Below Deck’s Latest Yacht
The fight itself is pretty ridiculous and kind of confusing. Basically, Kate and Ben are at odds over meal times for what feels like the 100th time this season. Upstairs, Emerson and Blake sit together, sipping champagne as they listen in on the argument. Kate and Ben become so loud that Captain Lee Rosbach calls them out and asks them to keep it down.
“This is so embarrassing,” Kate confesses...

Sissies Willam Belli, Matthew Scott Montgomery, Luke Stratte McClure & Emerson Collins
Religion and homosexuality have always had a tough relationship and leave it to Del Shores to address the issue head-on in the film version of his renowned play, Southern Baptist Sissies.
Like the play, which has been staged countless times since Shores wrote it in 2000, the film takes a look at four young boys – all Southern Baptists – and their journeys into adulthood and sexuality, with their parents, God and the Church watching closely over them to stop any missteps. While Sissies is filled with great laughs and musical performances, there’s a heavy dramatic message here, too, that unfortunately still applies in 2014.
TheBacklot checked in with Shores to talk about making the film (including Willam Belli’s joining the cast) as well as getting some scoop on his gone-but-not-forgotten series, Sordid Lives, which, we found out, may not be gone after all!

Football — it is a game. And one that many people watch. Gay people, allegedly, are some of these people. The More You Know.
Now that Seattle and Denver are headed to the Super Bowl on February 2, it’s probably time to learn something real about this sport. To help usher you (and me) into comprehensive football awareness, here are 10 tweets from gays who commented on yesterday’s big games. Or just said something about the games. Or seemed to know what football was.
1. Richard Lawson introduces you to the Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll.
Pete Carroll looks like a senator who murdered his mistress in a Wesley Snipes thriller

2. Dave Holmes invites you to shake hands with Jim Harbaugh, the coach of the losing San Francisco 49ers.
Jim Harbaugh looks like the reverse of that Far Side cartoon where the lady's dog is in her butt.
