Dance Diva. Beauty Queen. Vegas Showgirl. Gay Icon. Kristine W’s high energy music, soulful vocals, and live shows have been prominent features at gay clubs and pride events ever since her first worldwide hit “Feel What You Want.” While preparing for performances at an HRC Gala Dinner and HIV/AIDS fundraiser Broadway Bares, Kristine spoke with us about her acclaimed new album, “The Power of Music.”

The king of pop is dead, TMZ reports.

Michael Jackson, 50, went into cardiac arrest earlier today in his Holmby Hills home. Paramedics arrived at the scene to find Jackson non-responsive. It is believed that one of his housekeeper made the 9-1-1 call. Jackson’s sister La Toya and his mother ran into the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

Do you think Michael Jackson is really dead, or did he move to Africa to hide with Biggie and Tupac?

Well, it’s unofficial, but considering she is at the head of the gossip game and recently landed some major television hookups, we call dibs on this future superstar.

Katie Krause is a Los Angeles-based reality star, model, actress and host. How unique. What makes her jump up to the top in my book is that she attended Southern Methodist University — a Dallas school –  and actually graduated! You go girl. If only I  stayed up during history class I would be headed in your direction.

Peter Rauhofer’s infamous “Work” party has grown significantly over the past several years making its way around the globe with grand-scale events everywhere from Rio to Paris to Miami. On Saturday, June 27, the Grammy Award-winning DJ brings his “Work” party back to where it all started and makes it bigger than ever for New York Pride with “We Can!” at Manhattan’’s massive Roseland Ballroom.

More + Dates, after the jump.

According to a ’source’ “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus and underwear model Justin Gaston have broken up.

The source told Us Weekly that Miley and Justin split because Miley and her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers  have been spending a lot of time together recently, and that Nick Jonas was interested in getting back with Miley.

Apparently the Westboro Baptist Church was not in favor of a satire that we published yesterday evening, which thanked Fred Phelps for his commitment to being an asshole, which in turn united a major part of the gay and straight community.

I received a funny email in my inbox this morning from one of Phelps’ minions — probably the sister that he slept with — that condemned my organization and I to hell. You know what, whenever we do drop dead in hell, lets schedule a lunch date. We could be the best of friends. Read the email after the jump.

Dallas doesn’t celebrate Gay Pride month like the rest of the country in June. Instead, we pick the most random month and the most random day of the year and stick a name to it and call it the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade.

GLBT Dallas is offering all you gays from around the U.S. a free trip to Dallas so that you can make love to the hot Texas men — oh, and to come enjoy the pride parade.

Visit GLBTDALLAS.COM for a chance to win a trip for two to the Dallas Pride weekend, September 18-21, 2009. Sponsoring this trip is American Airlines and the Dallas Voice.

Fred Phelps, Westboro Baptist Church, “God hates fags” - all terms that warm my heart and make me one happy dyke.

Confused much?  Don’t be.  We gays and hetero-allies should all line up to give Fred Phelps a big faggotty kiss right on the mouth.  Who else but Phelps would allow himself to be such a public figure famous for his ignorance and hatred just to make the LGBT community look good?  Aw shucks, Freddie.  At the thought of how grateful I am to you, I just blushed a little.
