Javier MunozTELEVISION. Hamilton‘s Javier Muñoz to guest star on Quantico: “He plays Gabriel Carrera, vice consul at a consulate in [Washington] D.C.,” showrunner Joshua Safran tells TVLine. “His husband, Robbie, played by Nick Westrate (TURN: Washington’s Spies) also works at the consulate. They come into contact with some of our recruits, and soon wish they hadn’t.”

RE-SHOOTS. Zac Efron squeezes his buff body into a super-tight wetsuit to refilm Baywatch scenes.

OPINION. The real target of Emailgate is not Hillary Clinton, it’s all women. 

WTF FBI. Dormant FBI Twitter account tweets about investigation into Clinton pardoning of Mark Rich that wrapped in 2005. Doesn’t disclose any new info: “Vox appears to have been the first to report on this development, writing, ‘Someone at the FBI thought it was a good time to remind the public of a 15-year-old Clinton scandal,” and adding: ‘The document dump doesn’t include the investigators’ conclusion that the Clintons hadn’t broken any laws.’”

HEMINGWAY SYNDROME. Adele says she did her best writing while drunk: “I was completely off my face writing that album, and a drunk tongue is an honest one. I would drink two bottles of wine, and I would chain-smoke. Then I’d write the lyrics down and the next morning think, Fuck, that’s quite good.”

TERRIFYING. Heidi Klum multiplied for Halloween. 

636136134779409127-ap-obama-white-house-as-home-001JUST A SIMPLE HOME FOR TWO FOUR. Take a peak inside the Obama’s private White House quarters for the first time: ““Mrs. Obama often talks about bringing new voices into the national conversation, and that idea informed many of the decisions we made,” he told the magazine. “We selected artists and designers who would never have appeared in the White House before.”

ORLANDO. Guman’s wife speaks out — “I was unaware”: “‘I don’t condone what he has done. I am very sorry for what has happened. He has hurt a lot of people.’ Her husband’s crime, Ms. Salman said, has left her shattered and afraid. She lives in fear of turning on the television and hearing Mr. Mateen’s name. She often can’t get out of bed and depends on family members to take care of her son. She has moved three times since the attack, hoping to avoid the news media, and asked that her current location not be disclosed.”

ON THE STUMP. Alicia Machado campaigns with Hillary Clinton. 

IF CONGRESS WAS YOUR COWORKER. Chris Pine stars in latest Joss Whedon election video.

“Dragula” Premieres As The Dark, Twisted Punk Cousin Of “Drag Race”

“Dragula” Premieres As The Dark, Twisted Punk Cousin Of “Drag Race”

screen-shot-2016-11-01-at-1-33-14-pm

The Boulet Brothers have been terrorizing Los Angeles nightlife for well over a decade, always shining the spotlight on the weird and subversive.

Now they’re bringing their signature blend of alternaqueer mystique to the small screen in what we can only describe as the dark, twisted punk cousin of RuPaul‘s Drag Race.

Pageant queens beware — Dragula, the new reality drag competition web series that gets its name from one of the Brothers’ popular L.A. events, isn’t always pretty.

In the premiere episode, which airs on YouTube via Jonny McGovern’s Hey Queen channel, the competing queens must put their scariest witchy face forward, sans tongue-in-cheek camp we’re used to seeing on the now-mainstream drag stage. It’s all pretty raunchy and wonderful.

Then things get shockingly real as the three queens up for elimination extermination are buried in coffins in a graveyard and showered in crickets, worms and, well, we won’t completely ruin the surprise. Suffice it to say, these gals aren’t messing around.

Watch below, and be warned:

These Shirtless Firefighters Will Extinguish Your Election Woes – WATCH

ABC News Reporter Michael Koenigs made a pit stop on his election cycle tour at the World Firefighter Combat Challenge in Montgomery, Alabama and ended up meeting some smoking hot firemen.

Koenigs first introduces us to the the best fire chief in the country.

Hi there!

The chief teases us with a glimpse of what’s underneath his coat–but insists on keeping it on because life is cruel.

Then we meet three more hunks, two shirtless, and one donned in lycra.

The final shirtless hunk loses major points (okay, all of them) when he opens his mouth and says he ‘can’t vote for Hillary.’

Did we mention the competition is in red state Alabama?

Watch, below.

Here’s Another Opportunity To Ogle Insanely Hot Chef Franco Noriega

Several weeks back we told you about Franco Noriega, a Peruvian chef and former pro swimmer who first caught our attention by whipping up some chia pudding in some very short-short short-shorts.

Looks like Ellen’s team took notice, as Noriega just made an appearance on her show and served up the traditional Peruvian dish Tacu Tacu, prepared with rice and beans and whatever leftovers might be hanging around in your fridge.

Let us ogle.

South African Imam Promotes Gay Rights at LGBT-Inclusive Cape Town Mosque

South African Imam Promotes Gay Rights at LGBT-Inclusive Cape Town Mosque

mushin-hendricks

An openly gay South African imam has set up a mosque in Cape Town as a “calm and open place” for LGBT Muslims to worship together.

In 1996, Muhsin Hendricks founded The Inner Circle, a support group for LGBT Muslims living in Cape Town who felt rejected due to their sexual orientation. This led him to set up his mosque five years ago.

Although South Africa’s constitution provides protections for LGBT people and allows for same-sex marriage, gay people are often subject to discrimination and violence. Imam Pandy, leader of a mosque in Mowbray, told AFP: “Homosexuality is unacceptable and the punishment will be the fire. How can you be homosexual? It is forbidden. And it is your duty as an imam or as a Muslim to go and speak to them and say ‘no, it cannot be.’”

Nonetheless, Hendricks’ mosque now has about 25 regular worshipers and even offers a marriage blessing to gay couples.

In an interview with News24, Hendricks said:

“I got divorced at the age of 29 after being married [to a woman] for six years.

“That was the point where I just felt – no more double life. I needed to be authentic with myself, and part of that process was to come out.

“This is who I am and if that means I am going to be killed because of my authenticity, then that is how I choose to meet God.”

Inner Circle worshiper Zaid Philander added:

“There are a lot of lives being destroyed based on sexuality and religion, and that needs to change. Here they are the pioneers of this change, and this is a good place to start.

“I choose to be in a place where I can have a healthy relationship with God, and the Inner Circle gives me the freedom to be the person I am.”

Hendricks, who travels the world to spread his message to other gay Muslims, said he is hoping to “arrive at a point where we can include queer people” and the Muslim community is not seen as the enemy.
