In Beverly Kills, Beverly Jackson (Gary Kelley), a long in the tooth drag queen, is rejected for a part in the local Pride Playhouse theater production (any part). Angered, she vows to use her hypnotic powers to start a cult and exact her revenge. Shane (Rick Sparks), a down on his luck gay guy who lives in the theater, and Ray (Matthew Herrmann), the lighting guy, run afoul of her evil schemes.

And who would have thought you’d get any action with a pickup line like: “Do you want me to stay and protect you from the evil drag queen?”

Joe Flanigan in the Stargate Atlantis episode “38 Minutes“. In order to save the day, they have to rip off his shirt. Here’s hoping they have to resort to doing it again this season since they haven’t done it for the last couple.

A couple more caps.

In The M.O. of M.I., a gay couple, Mike and Tom, goes to see a performance artist, Jonathan, who ends up sleeping on their couch. Jonathan (David Christopher) turns out to have a history with Mike (David Stokey) and designs on Tom (Cory Schneider). Oh, and he’s a thief, hustler, and drug dealer, who happens to have a bunch of bad guys chasing him. The Modus Operandi of Male Intimacy. Everyone’s scamming someone.

Eric Johnson is the new and improved Flash Gordon on the Sci-Fi Channel. A little more humor and a slightly different twist on the action hero.

Sam J. Jones (aka Andrew Cooper, III) a former Marine & Playgirl model (here’s hoping Eric Johnson follows in those footsteps, the modeling, not so much the marines, although. . . .) turned in a performance as the star trotting action hero in Dino De Laurentiis’ 1980’s version. Complete with music by “Queen.”
