In news of an actual gay porn star, Brent Corrigan has resurfaced after a lengthy illness.  Oh, you remember Brent – he’s the gay porn version of Traci Lords (look it up).  Best known for working underaged and then, allegedly inspiring such passion as a murder plot (see the film King Cobra).  As with most things Brent-related, the details he shares don’t quite jibe.  Years ago, he told an interviewer that I’m always kissing him, which is strange – I usually like them older.  But, who am I to question someone who was allegedly at the brink of death?  According to Brent, back in February 2023, he had a “massive seizure”, was on “life support”, and “they weren’t able to register any brain activity”.  Well, I could have told them that!  And yet, somehow his life was spared – unlike the climactic final scene in Song of Bernadette (a film which I don’t believe had any singing).  Corrigan remained hospitalized until July of that year.  During that time, he was taught how to walk, eat, etc. – and you know I have a vested interest in the etc!  Truly, we hope he is doing as well as he claims and that he has many years ahead of him.

The 2023 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Sasha Colby, has been on a national tour of Stripped II – making her the first drag diva to headline a LiveNation tour (although, technically, she’s a trans woman…but I’ll leave that discussion to the theologians).  Last week, she abruptly cancelled the remaining dates.  “The truth is that I am exhausted.  Twenty-one shows in five weeks took a much bigger toll on me that I expected, both physically and emotionally.  My mind and heart are tired in ways I can’t ignore anymore.  I’ve always tried to push through, but this time I need to listen to my body and spirit.”
