Their January 16 on-air Golden Globe Awards chitchat of gay men in the fashion industry has insulted numerous LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) media outlets.

Post-Globes, Ricky Gervais Has Left His Mark on Beverly Hills
In case his eyebrow-raising (warranted or not) emcee gig at Golden Globes didn't leave enough of a lingering aftertaste of the Brit's trip to Los Angeles, Ricky Gervais has left his mark on the side of the Beverly Hilton. Or at least someone has, in his name. MELROSE & FAIRFAX points to a piece of vandalism declaring "Ricky Gervais was here" spied recently: "We can't verify whether this was truly done by Ricky or not. Rumor has it that he is back in New York, while other rumors still place him in LA." Do you think Gervais is behind this spray paint stunt?

TV Junkie: Interview with Regina King & Ben McKenzie from 'SouthLAnd'; Golden Globe TV Noms
We were big fans of "SouthLAnd" when it first premiered on NBC and were very pleased when the show was picked up by TNT after a badly handled dumping by the Peacock. "SouthLAnd" returns on January 4th with all new episodes premiering on TNT. This is a great show focusing on patrol cops and detectives shooting on location on the very real streets of Los Angeles. The energetic and masterful season premiere picks up right where we left off with key storylines led by Regina King and Ben McKenzie as Detective Lydia Adams and Patrol Officer Ben Sherman (respectively). We had a chance to ask the pair a few questions on a conference call late last week.
