Under the Pink Carpet lead correspondent Tony Sawicki interviews the film's hunky stars Charlie David and Jessie Archer, as well as breakout director Casper Andreas, who discusses his decision to include full frontal nudity in this, his latest film. The report includes sneak peeks at some of the film's steamiest clips and coverage at the premiere's after-party. Next, Clover Honey attends the Glammy Awards, honoring excellence in Drag Queen performance. Held at downtown hot spot Webster Hall, the event features more sequins, feathers, wigs and jewels than a Gabor family reunion! It's one of the wildest parties of the year, and Clover takes you backstage and behind the scenes to meet the biggest names in Drag, including Milan (of the rocket fueled, high energy Daisy Spurs), Jessie Volt, Edie, Peppermint, Dina Delicious, and Mimi Imfirst. We also check out some incredible performance footage from the show. Next, Tony Sawicki visits Tavern on the Green, to meet some of the members of GOAL, which is an acronym for the Gay Officers Action League. We join hundreds of Gay and Lesbian cops, detectives, and other law enforcement officials as they celebrate their fraternal organization's silver anniversary. Tony discusses the organization's challenges, struggles, and triumphs with some of its key members, and also speaks with NYC police commissioner Raymond Kelly about the acceptance of openly gay officers on the force. Finally, Robin Cloud attends a special benefit screening of Gray Matters, a Lesbian-themed coming Out comedy featuring an unexpected love triangle and an all-star cast. Robin conducts exclusive interviews with the actors Heather Graham, Alan Cumming and Molly Shannon. The screening was held in the Tribecca Grille's sumptuous private theatre to benefit the Hetrick Martin Institute, NYC's high school for LGBT youth. Written by Clover Honey See less
