It was the end of the road for Michael Irvin’s Dancing With The Stars run Tuesday night. He was never the best dancer, but he was one of the fan favorites from the first night. Unfortunately, this was his best week of dancing (video after the jump). To get kicked off the show after his [...]

Jimmy Fallon makes tired Gay Games jokes
Unfortunately for people who enjoy comedy and have a good sense of humor, Jimmy Fallon hosts the Late Night show on NBC. Yesterday he decided to go after the Gay Games’ choice of Cleveland to host the 2014 Games:
It was announced yesterday that Cleveland, Ohio, will host the 2014 Gay Games. That’s weird, I thought [...]
The NHL is back
As usual, the National Hockey League has its problems. The Phoenix Coyotes are bankrupt and a judge is trying to sort out a mess in which the league is trying to stop the only bidder willing to buy the team, because he wants to move it to Hamilton, Ontario. All of this led to the [...]
‘Glee’ football team dances to ‘Single Ladies’
I guess this is progress of sorts. On the TV show “Glee,” the local high school football teams breaks into a rendition of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” to distract their opponent. One quibble: They did not take a timeout prior, so there should have been a delay of game penalty. Video:

Mayweather has gay panic on Chelsea Lately
Floyd Mayweather Jr. visited Chelsea Lately to promote his upcoming fight and return to boxing. During the interview, Mayweather twice steered the conversation inexplicably toward his personal homophobia. The first time came when Chelsea told Mayweather to get comfy and put one of his legs on the chair (you gotta see the video to understand [...]
Two men think they can dance. Together.
I’ve never seen So You Think You Can Dance, but ballroom dancing is considered a sport by at least the Gay Games and Outgames. It was at the latter in Montreal that I first saw same-sex ballroom dancing, and I thought it was really wonderful. Last night on SYTYCD, America got a glimpse of two [...]
Shaq vs. a pink speedo
For those of you who thought Terrell Owens’ TV show was unwatchable, don’t waste a moment on ABC’s Shaq Vs (which, some claim, he stole from Steve Nash…Nash is listed as an exec producer on the show). The biggest problem with the show? Shaq himself. His monotone speech is enough to put you to sleep, [...]
Something’s “up” in Foxboro
Some people just shouldn’t be allowed near a telestrator, but we’re so happy they are. Randy Cross, who was in Foxboro for the Bengals-Patriots preseason game, outlined a group of lights from the mall that surrounds half of Gillette Stadium where the old Foxboro Stadium once stood. Screen capture after the jump.

ESPN is reportedly ready to announce that it will broadcast the Sept. 12 USC at Ohio State football game in 3-D, available at several outlets in L.A., Ohio and…Texas. This is the latest foray into 3-D sports. According to the L.A. Times:

The biggest name of the bunch is Michael Irvin, whose former teammate Emmitt Smith won DWTS in Season 3. The other athletes on board: Snowboarder Louie Vito, Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin and light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell. An athlete [...]
Brian Boitano hosts the gayest show on TV
In one of the stranger TV pairings I can remember, former figure skater Brian Boitano will host a coooking show (called What Would Brian Boitano Make?) on The Food Network premiering later this month. Afterelton’s Michael Jensen tried to talk to Boitano after receiving press materials and again at the TV Critics Tour. Both times, [...]
Shaq in a pink Speedo?
You may have heard about Shaquille O’Neal’s new ABC “reality” show, Shaq Vs., in which the aging NBA superstar takes on other athletes such as Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Phelps in their sports. One such challenge will be filmed on Sunday, when pro beach volleyballers and Olympic gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh will [...]
Gays and the Hogans
VH1’s Brooke Knows Best follows the daughter of Hulk Hogan. And if you’ve watched it, you know that every episode features a gay guy in her roommate, Glenn Packard (right, with Brooke). The show dips in and out of sexual orientation from time to time; In one episode, Glenn went on a “straight” date while [...]
Big Ben’s been busy
Oh boy. First the defending Super Bowl champion quarterback appeared at the ESPYs looking like he’s put on 50 pounds. Now, Ben Roethlisberger has been named the defendent in a sexual assault civil suit brought by Andrea McNulty, an employee at Harrah’s in Reno, Nev. Roethlisberger’s lawyer denied the accusation and pointed out that no [...]
Billy Bean does the D-List
This week’s episode of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List featured out former MLB player Billy Bean in his now long-time career of real estate agent. In between hobnobbing with Rosie O’Donnell and Gloria Estefan, Bean showed Griffin some incredibly expensive real estate in Miami. The climax of the episode came when Griffin made [...]
