Kevin Walker to Pull a Lance Bass, Again

How exactly do those...cough, cough... not very attractive gay guys get these hotties to fight over them? After choosing between Luke MacFarlane's super-cute Scotty Wandell and Eric Winter's gorgeous Jason McCallister, Matthew Rhys' gay character on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" gets to do more flirty-flirty with his season 1 beau Chad Berry, played by "Sex and the City" hunk Jason Lewis.

EW reports Lewis will return to the family drama later this spring for one episode only, supposedly bringing some tension into the lovey-dovey relationship (and same-sex marriage) of Kevin and Scotty.



According to the show's executive producer Greg Berlanti, the couple who got married in last May's finale were destined to end up together (since he referred to Scotty as Kevin's "Mr.Big").

Of course, in the world of series television, even the most blissful relationships have to have their share of drama, and the return of once-closeted actor Chad (who was outed by a blogger and went on to enjoy his freedom ditching Kevin in the process) may signal there's more of that in store for Kevin and Scotty.

In a beautiful (and scandalous - Ryan Walker? WTF?) conclusion to the 2nd season of ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" last night, commitment-phobic Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) tied the knot with his adorable boyfriend Scotty (openly gay in real life Luke MacFarlane) having finally realized he is "the one." Check out the wedding video and stills, after the jump.

T.R. Knight & Boyfriend Mark Cornelsen @ GLAAD Media Awards

Last September when I praised "How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick Harris for making an appearance at the 2007 Emmy Awards with his boyfriend David Burtka, I also noted how normally dateless "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight appeared with a female companion. Well, things have changed.

On Saturday night, out and proud T.R.Knight walked the red carpet with his young boyfriend Mark Cornelsen.

Knight, who came out in a People Magazine article in October 2006 following an on-set incident with shamed co-star Isaiah Washington, used the opportunity to speak of the recent murders of teens Lawrence King and Simmie Williams Jr, who were killed earlier this year because they were gay.


During the show, Knight also blasted homophobic republican Oklahoma state representative Sally Kern, who has come under fire after it was revealed that in a recent speech she compared gays to terrorists and said she believed that the "homosexual agenda is destroying this nation."



"I am realizing more and more how privileged I am to be able to use my voice to support an organization like GLAAD," Knight said. "I will continue to do so until the Sally Kerns are taught the real teachings of Jesus Christ."



The openly gay "Grey’s Anatomy" star has recently signed on to participate in the National Day of Silence ceremony at the Miguel Contreras Learning Complex in Los Angeles, an event sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to help combat bullying and harassment of gays in schools.

Luke & Noah Finally Kiss

Well it was about damn time! Earlier this week the annoying Ameera storyline in the ongoing gay teen saga of Luke and Noah on CBS' "As the World Turns" (kill her off already!) took a surprisingly juicy turn when the two studs locked lips ending an 8-month smooch-drought and fan protests.


Although a part of me cheered seeing the loving couple finally make out again, another part of me stood in awe how utterly ridiculous the idea, that we had to wait for 8 months in the first place and then be exceptionally happy and grateful for the 5-second kiss, is.



Now what? Another 8 month wait? That would schedule the next kiss just before Christmas, so at least we would finally get to see what happened under that mistletoe that an ATWT cameraman loved so much last year. Oh well, it's still a step in the right direction.



An idiot on YouTube already managed to flag the video as "unsuitable for minors." Since similar stupidity occurred with the previous kiss which was posted on August 17, so I do hope YouTube will once again do the right thing and remove the offensive flag.



In the meantime, you can check out German soap boys Christian and Oliver on ARD's "Forbidden Love" who have been swapping spit all over the place. I wonder how many decades it will take US daytime to catch up. The clips are now available with English subtitles.



For all of you Nuke fans here are a few more caps of the latest Nuke kiss right under the video.

ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" Star Luke MacFarlane: I'm Gay

"Brothers & Sisters" star Luke MacFarlane has come out of the closet today and announced he will become series regular on the ABC series next season as his character Scotty Wandell marries his boyfriend Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) as part of an upcoming May sweeps storyline.

In an interview with Globe and Mail, Canadian MacFarlane, who has appeared on the ABC family drama since its beginning in the fall 2006 in a recurring role, says he is looking forward to being series regular on one of the first shows on network television to portray a gay marriage between two main characters.

In the article, MacFarlane went further revealing that he too wishes to marry one day and that, despite some concerns over his professional future, he made a decision to go public with his own sexual orientation. MacFarlane however declined to reveal whether he is currently involved in a relationship.

In 2006, MacFarlane was rumored to be dating "Grey's Anatomy's" out gay star T.R. Knight, before being romantically linked in 2007 to "Prison Break" hottie Wentworth Miller (whose own sexual orientation remains a matter of dispute.)

Whoever the man of Luke's heart is (if there indeed is one at the moment), he has made me very proud to be a Luke MacFarlane fan today and I wish him the very best in his personal life as well as continuing success in his career.

Gay Romance on ABC Sundays

Remember when back in the 1980s "Dynasty's" Steven and Luke (who recently reemerged here) were the only gay couple on prime time TV who got to give each other a hug once in a blue moon? Well, things have certainly changed since then, as gay couples on ABC soaps today not only get to kiss and have sex, but also wed and parent children.


Following rumors of their split and coupling of one of the men with Wisteria Lane's naughty gay teen Andrew Van De Kamp, Bob and Lee on "Desperate Housewives" are still together when the show leaps to 2013 and they are now raising a little girl. Shawn Pyfrom's character will meanwhile become Bree's Machiavellian PR manager.



Over on "Brothers & Sisters," out actor Luke MacFarlane and his Welsh co-star Matthew Rhys are now both regulars on the show. Their characters Kevin and Scotty will face new challanges after their wedding in May, including Kevin's radical career changes and Scotty's attempt to reconnect with his homophobic parents.

Cyndi Lauper Sings for Luke & Noah

Pop legend Cyndi Lauper made a very special appearance on today's edition of CBS' "As the World Turns" promoting her new album and singing one of her greatest classics for daytime soap's iconic gay couple Luke and Noah.

Lauper, whose older sister Ellen is gay, has been a long-time supporter of gay rights and an icon in the gay community.


The singer dedicated her signature pop ballad "True Colors" to a sad Luke who is still coming to terms over his recent break-up with Noah.

But will she help reunite the boys? We all know they'll end up together, the only question is - what year?

Kudos to Lauper for sending out a positive message while giving her new project some additional exposure in the media.



And the same goes for Procter & Gamble who own the show for securing Lauper's appearance and proving their dedication to the 'power-couple'.

Luke and Noah's portrayal has often been a little far-fetched (Army? Really? Hasn't Noah seen '60 Minutes'?), but their continuing presence in the TV landscape remains crucial.

Will T.R. Knight & Mark Cornelsen Tie the Knot?

As same-sex marriages got under way in California this week (amen and hallelujah to that), the folks at Access Hollywood wanted to know if "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight and his boyfriend Mark Cornelsen will follow in the footsteps of talk-show goddess Ellen Degeneres and actress Portia de Rossi whose wedding they have been invited to.

The smiling couple said they were excited that justice has finally been served (I suppose we'll have to see for how long).

Knight and Cornelsen also added how much they love and respect Ellen and Portia and feel very honored to have been invited, but they have only been dating for 6 months, and their own nuptials will have to wait.

After all, just because it's legal and those forces of utter darkness may put a stop to it in November, we don't all have to rush to the altar, do we now?

The attitudes and opinions of the young are clear - the day will come when homosexuality will prompt little or no comment. Sooner or later, the bigots will have been reduced to minority.

Luke and Noah: Love Triangle?

If I got this right, following all the commotion with Noah's marriage to illegal alien Ameera and the return of his homophobic dad, daytime's resident gay teen couple hit Breakupville.

Now a local player named Reg, who had at one point proposed a little hot tub fourway with his BF and Nuke, is drooling over the suddenly available Luke.

Reg may be a bit of a hottie himself, but all I can say is - run, Luke, run!!! Get back to that gorgeous a-hole of your boyfriend, because - despite all his flaws - you guys are so damn cute together.

VIDEO Update: Tonight's Gay Wedding on "Brothers & Sisters" (Spoilers)

Although legal recognition of gay marriage has yet to arrive in the US state of California, that won't be stopping "Brothers & Sisters" sweethearts Kevin and Scotty from tying the knot in front of their loved ones. Check out the Walker gay wedding album, after the jump.








The eventful 2nd season finale titled "Prior Commitments" (#216, airs Sunday, May 11 at 10/9c) will feature flashbacks with the Walker clan's deceased patriarch William (special guest star Tom Skerritt reprises the role), who - as Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) finds out - kept yet another devastating secret from his family.



Kevin (Matthew Rhys) and Scotty (Luke MacFarlane) make a commitment to be life partners, but will all of their loved ones be there to share their bliss? Expect members of Scotty's family The Wandells to appear in the episode. The commitment ceremony will also be an important opportunity for Uncle Saul (Ron Rifkin) to finally deal with his identity in a public way.



Actor Luke MacFarlane, who plays Scotty, recently came out in public confirming that he is gay, as many had speculated in the past. He revealed that like his on-screen alter ego Scotty, he also wishes to find that special someone and share his life with him.



Gay marriage is currently legal in Belgium, Canada, The Netherlands, South Africa and Spain. Civil unions and registered partnerships among same sex couples are recognized in many countries and territories including United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, The Czech Republic, Slovenia and other.
