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.

Her wife, Ellen DeGeneres, may be on television virtually every single day but Portia de Rossi has been having trouble this year landing a regular television gig of her own.

NBC will not be making a series out of Mockingbird Lane, an updated version of the 1960s cult favorite series that De Rossi starred in with Jerry O'Connell.

She only became available for Mockingbird Lane because The Smart One, a pilot she starred in for ABC which was produced by DeGeneres, was not picked up as a series.

A new gay comedy is being lined up to be the next British television hit.

It Takes A Village, adapted from a US sitcom, is one of six new pilots being made for the BBC.

The story will tell the story of a 13-year-old math genius called George whose parents split, his mother remarrying and his dad moving across the road to live with his new boyfriend.

Writer and director Richard Hurst, who has worked on sitcoms Miranda and Secret Diary of a Call Girl, will adapt the show.

It's a good month to be Ellen DeGeneres.

The funny lady not only launched the 10th season of her talk show this week and got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week, she is also the star voice in  Finding Nemo which was re-released into theaters in 3D today (14 September).

But there's more good news on the professional front.

NBC has bought a sitcom from DeGeneres' production company and has as its central character an independent 32-year-old single woman.

A man who claims he had a six-year affair with John Travolta has alleged the Hollywood actor wanted to make a sex tape with him.

The Grease star has been rocked by a string of apparently unfounded sexual accusations from male masseurs and Travolta’s former secretary, Joan Edwards, claimed that the Hollywood actor had a relationship with pilot Doug Gotterba.

Gotterba has now sold his story to National Enquirer, telling the US gossip magazine that Travolta pressured him to video their saucy bedroom antics.

Scott Silveri, creator of the new NBC sitcom Go On, says that even though he's not gay, he did have an experience similar to what he imagines coming out is like.

He had already cast Julie White to be one of Matthew Perry's co-stars in the new comedy about an irreverent yet charming sportscaster (Perry) who, after the loss of his wife, finds solace from members of his mandatory group therapy sessions.

He then had to call the actress to inform her that there had been a change in her character: she was now a lesbian.

On the same week that his former secretary went public with allegations that he had a six-year affair with a male pilot, John Travolta made his first public appearance in months at a tribute to Shirley MacLaine in Los Angeles.

Travolta had been keeping a low profile since early May when a pair of lawsuits were filed against the actor by two male masseurs accusing him of sexual battery and harassment.

When Vice President Joe Biden said on NBC's Meet the Press this week that he supports gay marriage, the men who created the sitcom Will & Grace were thrilled that he gave their show some of the credit for helping to educate the American public.

'I think Will & Grace probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody has done so far,' Biden said.

Brandon Routh was once the Man of Steel as the star of 2006's Superman Returns.

Now he'll be playing Michael Urie's man in Partners, a comedy pilot for CBS from the makers of Will & Grace.

Routh made only one Superman film then went on to make a string of independent movies and most recently had a recurring role on the NBC comedy Chuck.

Partners focuses on a pair of architects - one gay and one straight - who are lifelong friends and business partners.
