Joe Exotic Drops Love Song, Fans Dub It ‘Kid Rock for the Gays’

Joe Exotic Drops Love Song, Fans Dub It ‘Kid Rock for the Gays’

Look out, country balladeers—there’s a new suitor in the “lovemaking mix,” and he’s calling from inside the (big) house.

Joe Exotic, the (in)famous star of Netflix’s Tiger King, just unleashed his latest track, “I Have Dreamed of You,” penned from his prison cell.

Yes, darlings, the same Joe Exotic currently serving a 21-year sentence for plotting to have rival tiger-enthusiast Carole Baskin taken out, plus various violations of the Endangered Species Act.

Who says incarceration can keep a man from dropping a musical masterpiece?

Released on Valentine’s Day (because of course it was), the track is available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music—an intriguing trifecta of low, twangy vocals and unabashed romance.

The official YouTube video even features Joe’s fiancé-slash-fellow inmate, Jorge Marquez Flores, who’s apparently the muse behind the love song.

Talk about a prison-yard romance worthy of daytime TV!

And oh, the fan reactions. One enthusiastic commenter declared they’d be adding the song to their “lovemaking mix,” though we remain uncertain if that was sarcasm or sincere gratitude.

Another listener admitted they’d spun the track every day for their man since it dropped—hey, who are we to judge another person’s date-night soundtrack?

One witty observer even labeled it “Kid Rock for gay people,” leaving fans guessing if that’s praise, shade, or some bizarre combination of both.

Meanwhile, Joe Exotic’s supporters are still touting the “Free Joe Exotic” mantra in hopes of a presidential pardon (again!).

It’s a hail-Mary pass if we’ve ever seen one, but these fans apparently aren’t giving up.

Whether you love him, hate him, or can’t quite resist the spectacle, there’s no denying Joe’s got a knack for commanding attention—tigers or not.

So, if you’re the curious type—or simply need a new bedroom ballad—maybe slide this track into your next playlist.

After all, it’s not every day we get a would-be country star dropping behind-bars tunes for an inmate-fiancé.

And if there’s one thing Joe Exotic’s taught us, it’s that just when you think his story can’t possibly get any more outlandish, he roars back (pun intended) with something new.

Happy listening, kittens!

Queer Eye Meets Cricket Craze: Bobby Berk in New Comedy

Queer Eye Meets Cricket Craze: Bobby Berk in New Comedy

Step aside, baseball—cricket is about to steal the spotlight in Strikers, a fresh half-hour comedy series starring former Queer Eye fave Bobby Berk and creator-actor Dana Abraham.

Because why limit ourselves to interior design when there’s an entire sports world out there ripe for a rainbow-hued makeover?

Here’s the pitch: Amar Farooqi (played by Abraham) is a former MLB pitcher whose devastating injury derails his career.

But as fate (and maybe a little comedic magic) would have it, he’s lured back to his South Asian roots via an unlikely second chance—coaching a struggling cricket team, the Steel City Strikers.

Insert meddling steel-company heir AJ Joshi (Shaun Majumder) and his publicist niece Maya (Nazanin Mandi), who desperately need someone to revitalize their flailing squad.

Enter Amar. Sure, the guy’s got an arm, but can he deliver on a spin bowler or a wicked googly? And how will it all come together without a charismatic manager who can rally the troops?

Cue Mickey, portrayed by none other than the stylish, upbeat Bobby Berk.

Fans of Queer Eye know Berk can tackle just about any challenge with a can-do grin (and maybe a sledgehammer or two).

Strikers will see him trading home design for comedic spin in the manager’s seat—guiding Amar, AJ, and Maya toward triumphant sports glory.

Think last-chance Hollywood vibes meets a celebratory tribute to cricket’s cultural resonance. Comedy gold, darlings.

On the Home Front: A Note About Bobby Berk’s Personal Life

For those curious about his off-screen world: Bobby has been married to his longtime partner, Dewey, since the early 2010s.

Often offering us glimpses of their relationship on Instagram, Bobby has shared that he and Dewey love low-key nights in and spending time with their close circle of friends.

Outside of filming, Bobby continues to oversee his flourishing design brand and remains an advocate for LGBTQ+ visibility—both on television and beyond.

A Personal Journey for Dana Abraham

For Dana Abraham, Strikers marks more than just a series gig.

It’s a personal journey that taps into his South Asian heritage.

Having grown up in Canada, he admits he lost touch with his roots along the way.

Strikers lets him re-explore that cultural tapestry, bridging the gap between assimilation and tradition, all under the umbrella of a feel-good sports romp.

Expect heart, hijinks, and plenty of comedic collisions between baseball’s big-swing swagger and cricket’s refined, centuries-old traditions.

Getting Ready to Bowl Us Over

Production for Strikers is set to begin in summer 2025, aiming for release ahead of cricket’s Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games—just in time to ride the wave of “cricket mania” that could sweep the States.

In an ambitious (and fabulous) move, Red Hill Creative will independently produce the first season, ensuring they keep creative control and highlight the show’s unifying themes of collaboration, culture, and identity.

With laughs, heart, and a cast ready to push boundaries, Strikers could be the comedic underdog story we didn’t know we needed.

Expect the synergy of a family sports flick—plus a dash of that Queer Eye magic—to deliver a new kind of comedic sports drama that celebrates what happens when mismatched players rally around something bigger than themselves.

Now that’s what we call a grand slam—or, given the context, a perfect boundary hit. Game on!

Olympian Gus Kenworthy’s Love Tribute to Aussie Boyfriend

Grab your surfboards, my lovelies, because Gus Kenworthy is riding a massive wave of love all across Sydney—and he’s taking us along for the ride!

The Olympic freestyle skier just dropped a swoon-worthy Instagram post jam-packed with beachy adventures, adorable family time, and a dash of Aussie cosplay.

Let’s just say this is one “Down Under” trip we’d all gladly sign up for.

The main highlight? Gus is giving us a front-row seat to his sweet—and often shirtless—bond with Aussie boyfriend Andrew Rigby.

From posing atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge in harnesses (adrenaline junkies, anyone?) to lazing around the sand for a smooch-worthy beach day, these two are basically the definition of “couple goals.”

And because Kenworthy is never one to do anything halfheartedly, he even donned a blond mullet wig—yep, a mullet—for a night out alongside Andrew, serving us some fabulous Aussie realness.

But it’s not all pumping iron and partying until dawn.

Gus also shared a sunny group shot, featuring a straight couple and their two little cuties, proving the more the merrier in this tight-knit Sydney squad.

Seeing Kenworthy shift from extreme sports to kid-friendly hangs? Chef’s kiss.

It’s downright heartwarming watching him and Andrew soak up big family vibes in between their own romantic escapades.

And here’s the kicker—this glorious Aussie holiday arrives on the heels of Gus’s newly announced (and oh-so-cheeky) coffee table book club.

If the philanthropic side of Kenworthy’s Instagram escapades wasn’t enough to entice you, wait until you learn that some lucky subscribers get an exclusive, ahem, “slutty” Polaroid of the athlete.

Ten-out-of-ten for combining a love of art, charitable giving, and a bit of sassy skin for a cause!

So there you have it: Gus Kenworthy’s ultimate love tribute to his homegrown Aussie beau.

Between the sky-high zip-lining shots, beach kisses, and mullet mania, it’s clear that Kenworthy is smitten—and we’re here for every last digital postcard.

If you need us, we’ll be refreshing his feed, daydreaming of an Aussie getaway with our own Olympic bae.

After all, who can resist a classic boy-meets-boy, boy-brings-boy-home story that’s equal parts heart, humor, and heat?

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie—indeed!

‘9-1-1’ Teases Big Emotions for Bisexual Buck & Eddie Storyline

‘9-1-1’ Teases Big Emotions for Bisexual Buck & Eddie Storyline

Buckle up, my fellow first-responder fans, because ABC’s 9-1-1 is about to crank the emotional tension up to an 11—especially for Evan “Buck” Buckley.

In a recent reveal, showrunner Tim Minear teased that Buck will be “spinning like a top” once new episodes drop, and star Oliver Stark confirmed he was equally surprised by just how deeply the show plans to examine Buck’s complicated feelings for best friend (and firefighting partner-in-crime) Eddie Diaz.

As fans will recall, Season 7 first hinted that Buck’s devotion to Eddie wasn’t your run-of-the-mill bromance—especially when Eddie briefly considered moving to Texas to be closer to his son.

The prospect of losing his buddy-in-arms left Buck so rattled he might as well have been whacked with a baseball bat.

This season, the emotional stakes soar even higher, with 9-1-1 promising to tackle Buck’s responses in ways “more obvious” than ever before.

And while jealousy may not be the focus, the deep (and possibly deeper-than-friendship) bond between Buck and Eddie is definitely on the table.

According to Stark, the upcoming episodes put everyone at the firehouse under pressure, revealing new facets of the relationships we thought we already knew.

And for a show that typically highlights tight-knit teamwork, exploring potential fault lines—and yes, maybe some romantic tension—could reveal new layers to both Buck and Eddie.

After all, one of 9-1-1’s biggest draws is how it masterfully balances explosive emergencies with heartfelt family and friendship drama.

What’s more, Stark hinted that the storyline’s intensity caught even him off guard, raising questions about how far the series might go in unpacking Buck’s swirling emotions.

Could heartbreak lie on the horizon—or might fans finally see a more open conversation between Buck and Eddie?

One thing’s for certain: There’s no shortage of tension brewing at Firehouse 118.

Tune in when 9-1-1 returns March 6 for the second half of Season 8.

Between an influx of brand-new rescues and the twisty personal stories that have made the show such a hit, Buck’s inner turmoil over Eddie’s next steps is sure to be the hot topic.

Whether you’re rooting for them as best buds or hoping to see them lean a little closer, the next few episodes promise to deliver plenty of emotional fireworks—and maybe even a deeper look at that infamous Buddie bond.

You might want to keep an extinguisher handy, because fans are definitely fired up for what’s next!

Brandon Flynn Steams The Screen in Gay Horror ‘The Parenting’

Brandon Flynn Steams The Screen in Gay Horror ‘The Parenting’

Brandon Flynn has come a long way since riding the emotional roller coaster of 13 Reasons Why.

With “The Parenting,” the 31-year-old actor dives headfirst into comedic horror, proving that he’s more than just a teen drama alum—he’s ready to flex his funny bone (and handle a few ghosts) in a film that’s half supernatural romp, half meet-the-parents fiasco.

For anyone who adored Flynn’s warm, relatable presence on TV, his new role is like an exhilarating next chapter.

This time, he’s one half of a queer couple visiting a quaint country house with their parents in tow—hoping to share some good wine, scenic views, and maybe a coming-out or two.

But as Flynn’s character soon finds out, dealing with an ancient, mischief-making spirit is far more terrifying than introducing Mom to your fiancé.

What’s remarkable here isn’t just the playful spooks and family feuds; it’s watching Flynn effortlessly morph into a horror-comedy lead.

While we’ve seen him navigate heartbreak and teenage angst in previous roles, The Parenting taps into a lighter, almost whimsical energy.

Flynn’s charm helps anchor the film’s blend of goofy humor and genuine scares, as he scrambles to protect his beau (Nik Dodani) from everything from skeptical dads to sinister poltergeists.

Out and proud director Craig Johnson (Special) crafted a world where demons aren’t the only forces that need vanquishing—so do old-school ideas about relationships.

As a real-life member of the LGBTQ+ community, Flynn brings an authenticity to the screen that makes each haunted turn feel grounded in genuine heart and humor.

Even when the story takes a comedic spin—like a possessed parent floating around the dining room—Flynn’s character remains an oasis of empathy, determined to hold the family together.

The result? A fresh way to see Flynn shine: equal parts protective partner, reluctant ghostbuster, and comedic MVP.

Surrounded by an ensemble of Hollywood heavy-hitters (like Lisa Kudrow and Brian Cox), he holds his own with wit and warmth.

The final product is a laugh-out-loud ghost story that nods to the anxieties of any wedding-planning couple—doubly so if one of them might become demonically possessed.

So if you’ve been craving a post–teen drama fix of Brandon Flynn—and if your ideal date night flick involves both snickers and shrieks—The Parenting might be your perfect combination.

Catch it on Max starting March 13, and get ready to watch one spirited meet-the-parents weekend turn into a delightfully twisted affair.

Because if there’s anything scarier than meeting your in-laws for the first time, it’s dealing with them when they’re possessed by a 400-year-old ghost.

Bon voyage, brave souls!
