No one is more excited about Leslie Grossman’s return to Ryan Murphy’s world than Leslie Grossman herself. The self-professed TV fangirl, who admits to binging on shows like Westworld and The Handmaid’s Tale (and who has proudly watched every single episode of Housewives and Saturday Night Live), first worked with Murphy for the short-lived WB high school drama series Popular back in 1999.
Her highly quotable character, Mary Cherry, whom Murphy created specifically for her, seemed to temporarily typecast Grossman as a slightly oblivious, decidedly spoiled cheerleader type, and over the years, Grossman played into the caricature on shows like Nip/Tuck (another Murphy creation), What I Like About You and Modern Family.
But more recently, Grossman has resurfaced in an unlikely but inevitable place: as impressionable, politically apathetic, Nicole Kidman-loving Meadow Wilton, who takes a dark turn, on Murphy’s American Horror Story: Cult-- and, she tells Et the...

Melissa Etheridge Sings About Brad Pitt's Divorce After Being Threatened by Angelina Jolie's Lawyers
Ever since news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce broke, it seems everyone in Hollywood has an opinion. The latest to join Chelsea Handler, Justin Theroux, and Marion Cotillard in speaking out is Melissa Etheridge, who was friends with Brad for years and even sang at his wedding to Jennifer Aniston before the couple called it quits. The "Come to My Window" singer, who endured her own tumultuous divorce and custody battle with ex-wife Tammy Lynn Michaels in 2010, sat down with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show on Monday to discuss Brad and Angelina's divorce. "It breaks my heart that anyone would take something as personal as your marriage and your relationship and your rights to your children and do it as purposefully as I see it's being done," she said. "There's a way to be. I've gone through family courts. I've been twice around this block,...

Indiana's coolness took a south bend this week when Gov. Mike Pence signed into law a bill that allows businesses to turn away Lgbt customers on the grounds of "religious freedom." Sort of makes you wish that "not sucking" was a religion. To remind Indiana lawmakers why their nonsense is, well, nonsense, let's take a look at some gay icons and iconography that originated in Indiana. If you're so concerned about protecting the hatred of gay people, why do these folks below rule so much? Adam Lambert, our Precious Moments figurine version of George Michael The wailing "American Idol" runner-up came out in the most decadent way possible: with a Rolling Stone cover story and salacious serpentine imagery. Lambert was raised in Southern California but was born in Indianapolis, which basically makes him a living version of "Saved by the Bell." "Let's Hear It for the Boy" queen Deniece Williams...

Actor and screenwriter Wentworth Miller came out as gay on Wednesday.
As the "Prison Break" star settles into his new role as an openly gay man, we couldn't help but think back to another role he played earlier in his career on the classic WB series "Popular."
"Popular" was Ryan Murphy's first television series, which aired from 1999-2001, and it was a treasure trove of over-the-top goodness -- especially for those who were in on the joke. What began as a straight forward, serious show about a high school and the various social circles within it, quickly transformed into a campy hilarious spectacle that could put any daytime soap opera to shame.
Miller guest-starred on two episodes during the show's first season, during which he played a transfer student vying for a spot on the cheerleading team. The episode, entitled "All About Adam," in which he plays the title character,...

New York -- At 51, Melissa Etheridge isn't coasting on her accomplishments. Take her guitar work.
The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, whose 12th studio album has been released this week, challenged herself to play all the guitar parts this time around for the first time.
"I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true," she says. "I have gotten so much better and I'm celebrating it on this album."
The album, "4th Street Feeling," has a dozen songs that mostly look backward – to her parents, childhood and breakups. It's named after a street in Etheridge's hometown of Leavenworth, Kan.
"I'm exploring being 51. I'm exploring the maturity, the wisdom that just comes from having gone around the sun 50 times," she says. "My experience is, `Oh, I'm never really going to get it right. I'm never going to get it done. But that's not the point here.

Melissa Etheridge, writer and performer of such favorites as "Ain't It Heavy," "Bring Me Some Water" and "Come to My Window"! Beloved foremost as a rocker, Etheridge has used her fame to support a variety of causes, earning her acclaim as an activist as well.

But as the result of a court-ordered mediation, Etheridge will up the amount of money she's giving to Michaels each month. Michaels protested that she was barely scraping by while Etheridge was pulling in $177,882 each month.

Where did Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels go wrong? They seemed so happy once upon a time, tying the knot in InStyle Weddings-worthy surroundings, having twins and building a life together. Today, two years after their breakup, the sparring exes were supposed to be back in court to talk custody issues, capping a week of nasty back-and-forth allegations. (The mediation hearing apparently wound up being rescheduled—probably for the best.)

Let's just say, Melissa Etheridge doesn't sound primed to start giving Tammy Lynn Michaels more money. The Grammy winner fired back at her ex-wife's request for a child-support bump in court documents filed today, in which she alleges that Michaels is "angry and vindictive" and has accused Etheridge of not having the "maternal instinct" that she has as the one who actually gave birth to their now 5-year-old twins. Etheridge also states that Michaels accidentally burned son Miller Steven when she dropped a cigarette. So, what is she asking a judge to do? In the nearly 100 pages of custody-related documents filed by Etheridge's camp, she requests that both she and Michaels be...

While it's not quite as ugly as the Pilar and Deion Sanders divorce, the Melissa Etheridge split from her former partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, isn't looking pretty either.
The "Come to my Window" singer is accusing Michaels of accidentally burning one of their children with a cigarette. As a result, TMZ is saying that according to court documents, Etheridge wants Michaels to not smoke around their twins.
The publication is also reporting that Michaels has said Etheridge has no parenting instinct. As a result the two are battling tooth-and-nail over 50-50 joint custody.
The documents also state that Etheridge calls Michaels "angry and vindictive." Etheridge cites as an example the time Michaels tells her, "You have to support so many households because you broke so many households...If you had decided to have one ounce of integrity/honesty as a person or partner, you would not be in this predicament.

D.E.B.S. was actually made twice. First as a short starring Tammy Lynn Michaels, and later as a feature length film with a larger budget and distribution. The latter version came out in 2004 and was just as gay — if not gayer — than the original.
So what happened to the ladies of the feature film D.E.B.S.?
Sara Foster as good girl Amy
D.E.B.S. was Sara's first feature film, and she was its star. Since then, she's had a few minor roles on TV shows and movies (Psych:9, Demoted) but most recently she's appeared in the recurring role of Jen Clark on 90210. She is often photographed watching the matches of her boyfriend, professional German tennis player Tommy Haas.

Singer Melissa Etheridge has bounced back following her split from longterm partner Tammy Lynn Michaels last year - she's reportedly found love with TV writer Linda Wallem. The "Come to My Window" hitmaker ended her nine-year relationship with Michaels in April 2010, and the break-up turned messy last summer as they battled over finances and custody of their four-year-old twins, Johnnie Rose and Miller.
But the lesbian star has refused to let the bitter split impact her search for lasting love and she's since settled down with her best friend Wallem, creator of medical drama "Nurse Jackie". Ironically, Wallem served as Etheridge's 'best man' when the singer wed Michaels in 2003.
A source tells People.com, "Melissa and Linda have been best friends for over 10 years. They got together three months after Melissa and Tammy broke up. (They) are in a committed relationship. They're happy."

After an extremely messy, very public divorce from her wife, "Popular" star (and phenomenal Voguer) Tammy Lynn Michaels, rocker Melissa Etheridge has moved on to her longtime friend Linda Wallem, who, incidentally, was the "best man" in her wedding to Michaels. (Ouch.)
According to People, Etheridge and Wallem have been platonic best friends for over 10 years. Wallem, the creator of Showtime's series "Nurse Jackie," has appeared in episodes of "Seinfeld" and the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" and wrote for "That '70s Show" before moving on to executive produce "That '80's Show."

Aside from being besties for a decade, Etheride and Wallem, both 49, share a birthday - May 29, 1961. Sounds like they're star-crossed... unfortunately, Michaels may not agree.
