Chris Carmack Says His Character’s Coming Out On ‘Nashville’ Is A Huge Step For Country Music

Chris Carmack Says His Character’s Coming Out On ‘Nashville’ Is A Huge Step For Country Music

MV5BODEzNzI1NTcwOF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTk4NDU0OQ@@._V1_SX640_SY720_I want Will to be out and happy and still a huge country star and people loving him for who he is. I want him to make some decisions that are going to help him fulfill his life. I get a lot of tweets and comments from people about how, ‘Will should just come out already! It’s 2015! Audiences aren’t what they used to be! The United States is progressing!’ And I understand where they’re coming from because sometimes I feel that way too, but at the same time, I have to respect the fact that it’s dice Will doesn’t get to take back if he rolls them. He’s rolling the dice of his entire career. Historically, those things have not gone over well with country audiences. So there’s a discrepancy between what we as the viewers, fans and as sympathizers want Will to do, and what Will should do for himself.”

World's First Magnetic 4-D Roller Coaster 'BATMAN: The Ride' Debuts at Six Flags Fiesta Texas: VIDEO

World's First Magnetic 4-D Roller Coaster 'BATMAN: The Ride' Debuts at Six Flags Fiesta Texas: VIDEO

Batman1

The world’s highly-anticipated first 4-D free-fly roller coaster BATMAN: The Ride made its terrifying debut at Six Flags Fiesta Texas on Wednesday, San Antonio’s KSAT reports:

Not only does it flip head over heels, but you’re actually seated on the side of the track with nothing above you and nothing below you,” said Jeffrey Siebert, director of marketing for Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

Riders are propelled straight up a 120-foot elevator-style lift before being flipped head-over-heels at least six times. The ride also has a pair of 90-degree drops.

Six Flags officials say the ride features one-of-a-kind onboard magnetic technology and is as close as you can get to flying without being Batman.

“You’re completely in the blind, so you really do need Batman-style bravery — not necessarily a Batman suit — but bravery to come and challenge this crazy ride,” Siebert said.

Watch the new coaster in action, AFTER THE JUMP…

Sadistic Yet Hilarious Video Shows Men Experiencing Simulated Labor Pains

Sadistic Yet Hilarious Video Shows Men Experiencing Simulated Labor Pains
In a sadistically funny video from Buzzfeed, The Try Guys continue their exploration of motherhood by enduring labor pain simulation.

“How painful can this be?” they ask as specialists place electrodes on their backs, abdomens and even in one case, taint. The electric simulation forces their muscles to contract, creating the sensation of a labor contraction.

Cue the screaming and profanity.

“It’s like a million ants and needles just crawling through my skin,” one Try Guy observes. Another says it feels “like somebody just digging their nails through your stomach.”

And, as technician increases the pain level, “What a terrible alarm that it’s baby time!”

Pretty much.

How Many Actors Got Their TV Break As Trans Characters Going Full-Frontal? Jonny Beauchamp, That’s How Many.

How Many Actors Got Their TV Break As Trans Characters Going Full-Frontal? Jonny Beauchamp, That’s How Many.

Jonny_Beauchamp_Penny_Dreadful-1431258216You may not know who Jonny Beauchamp is, but you will soon. He’ll appear as Ray Castro in Roland Emmerich’s film Stonewall alongside Jeremy Irvine, Ron Perlman and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The film, about the NYC Stonewall riots, should be released sometime later this year.

But you can also catch the Puerto Rican actor from the Bronx in the newest episode of Penny Dreadful. He plays transgender prostitute Angelique, and fans of the show will be treated to a whole lot of Beauchamp’s front side — all of it, really.

Beauchamp spoke recently to TV Insider about getting the part, what makes Angelique tick and how he managed to get through filming the full-frontal scenes.

On the nudity:

“It was part of the contract I had to sign for the screen test. I didn’t know exactly what would be shown or how. I wanted to be cool and professional but, inside, I was dying. Nudity was my one big fear as an actor, the one thing I never really thought I would be able to do. In the theater, it’s a little different. But to go full frontal for my first big TV project was daunting. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t lose sleep over it.”

On how he got through it:

“[Show creator] John Logan was very comforting. He took me into his office and said, ‘You have to remember that this is not you. It’s the character who is naked. This show is all about shock factor and pushing the boundaries, and this is a really awesome opportunity for you to do that.’ That made me feel a lot better and much safer. And thank God I had to drop trou in front of Reeve Carney. He was my rock. He held my hand through the hold process. Well, not literally, but we were like mates in the same crazy situation. [Laughs] We’d look at each other and be, like, ‘What the hell are we doing?’”

On playing transgender before there was ‘transgender’:

“Today, we’re finally on the transgender frontier and everyone is starting to talk about it, but it wasn’t spoken of a hundred years ago. If you were transgender back then you were considered crazy or a sexual deviant. So the fact that Angelique holds herself with such pride and poise is amazing.”

Laramie, Wyoming Passes Comprehensive LGBT Non-Discrimination Ordinance: VIDEO

Laramie, Wyoming Passes Comprehensive LGBT Non-Discrimination Ordinance: VIDEO

Wyoming

Laramie City Council, Wyoming has approved Laramie Order 1915 which will prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, employment and access to public facilities, the AP reports.

The council of the town where Matthew Shepard was murdered 17 years ago voted 7-2 in favor of the motion.

2d45feb61e914cc8ba60947c055bf952-Photo-1-324x450The Legislature had repeatedly rejected anti-discrimination bills, most recently early this year.

Jeran Artery, head of the group Wyoming Equality, said:

“What a day for Wyoming, and what a day for the city that became synonymous with Matthew Shepard’s murder to now step up and do this right thing. And I would really encourage other communities across the state to follow Laramie’s lead.”

Matthew Shepard’s mother Judy, who is active in a Denver foundation focusing on equality issues, said she was thrilled “that Laramie’s doing it, at the same time sort of saddened that the state of Wyoming can’t see fit to do that as well. Maybe the rest of Wyoming will understand this is about fellow human beings and not something that’s other than what they are.”

Openly gay Rep. Cathy Connolly (D-Laramie) (above) said:

“Know that, in Albany County, five of six of your senators and representatives not only supported that measure, but actively, vigorously supported that measure, and we will continue to do so. My hope is from tonight that we will do so using the leadership of Laramie”

Two councilors voted against the ordinance. Both Joe Vitale and Bryan Schuster said they were concerned the ordinance caused concerns about religious freedom.

Rep. Kendell Kroeker (R-Evansville), who voted against the anti-discrimination bill this year, said “the Matt Shepard case was a tragedy, but I don’t see how an anti-discrimination ordinance would have stopped somebody from committing that heinous crime.”

Watch a report, AFTER THE JUMP…
