> Pasty Robert Pattinson reveals that he felt a little star-struck when he came face to face with the golden vision that is Zac Efron, "just because his face is so specific, it’s kind of surreal."

Miley Cyrus's Slip of the Tongue

While performing her hit song "7 Things" in Kentucky the other night, Miley Cyrus made a curious last-minute lyric swap. Instead of singing "The 7 things I hate about you / oh you you're vain / your games, you're insecure" as she usually does, the most famous 16-year-old in the world belted out "oh you you're vain / you're gay..."

Was it just an innocent slip of the tongue or does Miley need to get schooled by Hilary Duff? And more importantly, if she meant it, is she talking about Justin Gaston? Because we'd be happy to have him come over to the homo side.

Hummer: Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Video

The video for "Bad Romance," the first single from Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, the re-release of her debut album The Fame packed with eight new tracks and due out on November 24, debuted today and it's nothing short of fan-fucking-tastic. Since arriving on the scene a little over a year ago, Gaga has been known for her berserkly spectacle-acular fashion, videos, and performances and "Bad Romance" proves that while some naysayers think her initial success was a fluke, she apparently always has more to give, push, and/or peddle and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

The pop star recently told MTV, "there’s this one shot in the video where I get kidnapped by supermodels... I’m washing away my sins and they shove vodka down my throat to drug me up before they sell me off to the Russian mafia,” but that's only the beginning. With Gaga as the queen leading her colony of white vinyl humanoids through a variation of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance routine, a pink-tressed Gaga with giant anime eyes, a polar bearskin rug worn as a cape (among 48,532 other costume changes), and the return of her famous flame-throwing bra from her Much Music Awards performance (this time used for a much more nefarious purpose than merely entertaining her fans), the video left me wanting a cigarette, a shower, a nap, and another 18 hours of footage.

The 2009 Out 100: Kelly McGillis

Jason Bell

Our featured honoree of the day from the "School Days"–themed 2009 Out 100 -- this year's look at the 100 gay, lesbian, and trans people who made an impact in both gay and mainstream culture -- is Kelly McGillis.

McGillis’s coming out last April created an outsize media storm. The 52-year-old star of Top Gun and The Accused revealed she was a lesbian to SheWired.com, unleashing a torrent of support from around the globe. McGillis, who also starred on The L Word as a closeted army colonel trying a “don’t ask, don’t tell” case, emphatically said she is “done with the man thing.” A sexual icon for millions of straight boys who grew up in the 1980s, McGillis became another iconic example of the significance of sexual honesty later in life. This winter she will star in a U.K. tour of Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.

During the coming days we'll continue to roll out more honorees from the 2009 Out 100 -- shot by renowned photographer Jason Bell -- until the full portfolio is revealed in stores and online in mid-November. Keep checking back for a new honorees and in the meantime check out the 2008 Out 100 here.

Florence + the Machine's Must-See Show

After playing two small acoustic sets and a taping a performance at Letterman, Florence had her first proper official gig at New York City's classic Bowery Ballroom (we adore the venue's wood floors!). Florence acoustic is nothing compared to Florence when she has The Machine with her and the freedom to play a full set.

Despite this being her first official New York appearance, the devotion of her fans is already so great that not even puking into their own coats before the set would induce them to leave the front. That's a fact. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley of Gossip Girl were even spotted at the show. Once Florence appeared in a floor-length see-through gown and began serenading us with "Between Two Lungs" accompanied by a harp -- and how often have you seen a harp at a rock club? Never, we bet, which is what makes it so f-in' rock n' roll -- you could see the reason behind the crowd's fervor. Whipping her long red hair around her and putting her all into each song, Florence had the pipes and the onstage persona to keep us positively riveted.

Bending almost double with the force of emotion, Florence raced through singles "Dog Days Are Over" and "Drumming Song," posing dramatically behind her mic stand, which was decorated with plastic flowers. Conspicuously missing was the lesbian-themed "Girl With One Eye," but Florence made up for it with the uplifting "You've Got The Love." There was a lot of love to go around and once the encore wrapped with "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)," Florence was bowing and throwing air kisses at the cheering crowd. She promised to return, and after a performance like this one, it would be downright criminal if she didn't.

Up Close And Personal With Billie Myers

If the name Billie Myers sounds familiar, it's probably because 10 years ago you couldn't turn on a top 40 radio station without hearing her hit song "Kiss The Rain." Since then the British singer, who considers herself queer and has played numerous gay pride events, has continued to make music and recently released her latest album Tea & Sympathy.

Not long ago Myers was kind enough to invite us into her rehearsal space to record her performing two songs, aforementioned "Kiss The Rain" and her new single, "I Hope You're Happy Now." To see an interview with Myers recorded on the same day, head here.
