Chris Colfer has revealed that the title of his second The Land of Stories novel will be The Enchantress Returns.

The openly gay star, who plays the gay character of Kurt Hummel on Glee, is writing a follow-up to his best seller The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell. It will be released 6 August, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The Enchantress in the title is an evil character who cursed Sleeping Beauty.

It was in 1997 that Ellen DeGeneres caused a national wave of publicity and debate when she was featured on the cover of TIME magazine with this headline: 'Yep, I'm Gay.'

Twenty-two years earlier, that cover could have been Lily Tomlin's.

Now 73, one of the stars of new movie Admission a cast member of the ABC sitcom Malibu Country, Tomlin did not publicly discuss being a lesbian until 2001 although it had long been an open secret.

'TIME magazine offered me the cover in 1975 if I would come out,' Tomlin tells Entertainment Weekly.

The first trailer for the upcoming HBO film Behind the Candelabra does not show any sex scenes between the movie's two main characters Liberace and Scott Thorson.

Audiences at Barbra Streisand's recently-concluded Back to Brooklyn concert tour were treated to something that had never been by the public before: a duet between Streisand and her son, Jason Gould.

Gould, 45, joined his mother on How Deep Is the Ocean and revealed to the world an impressive singing voice that he had previously not shared with the public.

'It was the most joyous time with my son ever, ever, ever,' Streisand says in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly in an interview to promote her new film The Guilt Trip.

Rumors about the sexuality of singer and actress  Queen Latifah have circulated throughout her career. They were intensified by her 19 May performance at the Long Beach Gay Pride parade.

'That definitely wasn’t the case,' she said. 'I’ve never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It’s just not gonna happen.'

Matt Bomer  admits that before he began filming his role as a stripper in the upcoming feature film Magic Mike, he went waxing.

It is Kurt who is there for Karofsky and when he visits his former bully in the hospital, helps him imagine his future.

When Sean Maher was cast as a closeted gay man in the since-canceled NBC drama The Playboy Club, the 36-year-old actor decided that off-screen at least, he was going to bust out of that closet.

Maher, best known for his role on the sci-fi series Firefly and its follow-up feature film Serenity, confirmed that he is gay during an interview with Entertainment Weekly in late September.
