Lesbians On Roseanne

So, I don't know if I even want to look for the whole episodes, because sometimes Roseanna is a little crazy, but I found this awesome clip of the Murmurs performing Smash.

L Word Spinoff

It is official, Leisha Hailey will be starring, as Alice Pieszeck, in the upcoming L Word Spin-off.

You can read more about it here.

Alice has always been one of my favorite characters, behind only Erin Daniel's Dana Fairbanks. Since I first heard of the spin-off, I've wished and wished that Alice would be the main character. I'm not sure how they will explain why she is no longer around the rest of the cast, but I'm sure they will come up with something, as long as they don't have her doing something that is completely out of character for her.

Wednesday Hottie

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay, but I could not decide on this week's Wednesday Hottie until my best friend called me and gave me some amazing news.

She was supposed to interview the beautiful, wonderful, and multi-talented, Leisha Hailey tonight (but unfortunately got postponed since Leisha was still fliming).

Everyone who knows of her, seems to love Leisha Hailey. She does everything, she acts, sings, writes songs, and is apparently very grateful and nice to her friends. Most of you probably only know her from The L Word, but Leisha has also been in episodes of Ellen (she was an extra in the infamous coming out episode), Boy Meets World (a guitar playing optimist turned emo when Eric broke her heart to optimist again), Grey's Anatomy (an outdoorswoman who suffers from the flesh eating disease), and CSI. You are probably saying to yourself, Leisha was never in CSI, but she was. It was just kind of hard to recognize her. Leisha's first major role was in All Over Me. Leisha is also in a long running series of Yoplait commercials in which her and at least one other women compare Yoplait yogurt, to other things they consider good.

Leisha was born on July 11, 1971 in Okinawa, Japan. She grew up in Bellevue, Nebraska, attending Bellevue West High School where she played the leading male role of "Oliver" in her school play. She is a 5'6", a vegetarian and is currently datinig fashion designer and owner of Free City, Nina Garduno.

Leisha came out as a lesbian when she was a teenager and moved to New York City where she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1991. She formed the rock duo The Murmurs (changed to Gush in 2001) with her former classmate at the academy Heather Grody. They released 3 albums, as well as performing on several movie soundtracks and touring with Lilith Fair. Their biggest album, Blender, included songs produced by k.d. lang, Leisha's significant other for several years. She was also the inspiration for lang's album, Invincible Summer. Leisha left Gush for several years due to her busy acting schedule. They did however release one self-titled album which was only sold at gigs.

She made her television series debut on Showtime's The L Word in 2004 as Alice Pieszecki; a sharp-witted, bisexual magazine writer. Since then The L Word has received multiple awards and critical praise. Leisha herself was chosen as one of Denton Record Chronicle's "Top 10 Ladies Who Made 2004 Memorable."

In 2005, Leisha founded Marfa Records. Leisha is now in a new band, Uh Huh Her, where she is a singer and guitarist, together with Camila Grey (producer, vocals, synth, bass). They released an EP entitled I See Red on July 24, 2007. They also released their first full length album Common Reaction, on August 19, 2008 with Nettwerk Records / Live Nation.

In 2007, Hailey was named the sexiest woman in the AfterEllen Hot 100 list compiled by AfterEllen.com. She responded to topping the list with:

Wow, I don't even know what to say. I hope Angelina's not mad at me. I have to say this really makes up for the time I was on the Homecoming Court in high school with my boyfriend (yes I had one) and he won and I didn't. So thanks to everyone. I'll try and keep up my hotness.

On April 28, 2008, Hailey was named Olivia Cruises' new spokesperson.

While researching Leisha for this blog, I learned some things I had never known before. Accoring to wikipedia, she was a big soccer player, and the article even included a quote.

"I was a soccer star… I was a goalscorer, but then I busted my knee out and my whole career ended."

There are so many reasons to love Leisha Hailey. As I have mentioned before, she's beautiful and talented. I know a couple people who have met her, and they have said she was one of the nicest people they have ever met. Hell, how often to stars do phone interviews with people they met at a conert who then start a fanblog?

Leisha's character, Alice, is probably one the of realest characters from TLW. She plays her so well, its hard to remember that Alice, is not real. You just want to fight for her. You want her to see some kind of happiness. I love that she has fun with her character. She'd make a pretty good writer too. She is known for ad-libbing on a couple occasions, one of which made the following scene, hilarious.



For those of you who are still wondering when the hell Leisha was on CSI, here's her scene:


The same person who posted this video, has also posted a video of Leisha's transformation for the part.

The Hotties Have Been Announced

Okay, so AfterEllen actually posted their Hot 100 Monday, but I was busy feeding my Grey's obsession, (including the first two episodes with hottie Sara) and this took a long time to do.

I agree with a lot of the people on the list, although, not necessarily their ranking. I mean, while Tina Fey is good looking, is she really hotter than Sara? While it may be some people's opinion that, yes she is (have they not seen the clip of her kissing Brooke Smith on Grey's?), it is not mine. Also, how did Leisha Hailey drop down to number five? FIVE?! What? Sara was #8 btw, a huge jump from last year's posistion of #80.
