Charlie Sheen has met huge success in his acting career over the years, but has lately faced a lot of speculation about being HIV positive, which has affected both his life and that of his romantic partners. The actor finally decided to put an end to all the rumors by revealing the truth in a televised interview. On Tuesday, November 17, Charlie Sheen took the time to sit down for an exclusive, tell-all interview with Today’s Matt Lauer. The former Two And A Half Men star revealed that he had been diagnosed HIV positive roughly four years ago. He went ahead to say ...
Many of the people in America and across the world hate Miley Cyrus. If you’re reading this, you might be one of those people, but today, I’m here to tell you why you shouldn’t be. Before you get too far in reading this, I want you to take a quick second and think about why it is that you actually hate Miley. I’ll go first: I used to heavily dislike Miley for no other reason than the fact that she changed from cute, little Hannah Montana to naked pothead. See, even my own reasoning was pretty dumb. She grew up. She’s not 12 anymore, so she must be an awful person, right? Well, she obviously couldn’t stay Hannah Montana forever. And to be honest, she’s doing a hell of...
Martin Shkreli was largely unknown to the majority of America -- that was until last week. Shkreli is a CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, which, on the surface, sounds legit. He announced that his company was going to raise the price of their medication. That sounds reasonable; sometimes companies need to raise the price of goods a little to gain a profit. What lies beneath the rather beige exterior is a horrendous, green abomination that has everyone -- customers and on-lookers alike -- seeing red. The drug they sell is Daraprim, which is used to boost compromised immune systems -- particularly for patients with cancer and AIDS -- and their price hike was substantial, from $13 to ...
Phil Robertson is at it again. The Duck Dynasty star, who once equated gay relationships to bestiality, is now proclaiming that AIDS and sexually transmitted infections are the result of God's wrath upon the immoral. Robertson made the claim during a recent interview conducted by Tony Perkins, president of a conservative Christian group called Family Research Council. Robertson stated, ...
Apparently, not only can you be bullied in life, but also in death. In what is a rather unsurprisingly medieval move, an outdated FDA regulation set the ground for the rejection that shot down the viability for a deceased teen's organ donation. Sheryl Moore, the mother of a victim of suicide, A.J., was distraught to learn that her son's eye donation was rejected on the grounds that he was gay. Despite this, A.J.'s lungs, liver, kidneys and heart were all donated, the lattermost of which was received by a 14-year-old boy. Moore believes that at least that went well, noting, "He [A.J.] would have ...

Jenna Boures Staff Writer @jboures Every theater kid living in suburbia has a dream role they’d love to play, whether it be on the silver screen or the live stage. For actor Matt Bomer, that dream role has become a reality. The White Collar star is set to play reporter Felix Turner in HBO’s adaption of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. Bomer stumbled upon the script for Kramer’s play back in high school in the 1990s –right in the middle of the AIDS epidemic. The Normal Heart was the Texas teen’s window into the current social and political actions of that time. “I was relatively shelt...
Petya Jordanoff Staff Writer @PetyaJordanoff The Normal Heart is a chilling made-for-television adaptation by Larry Kramer of his groundbreaking 1985 play and will surely set the stakes high when it comes to movies for television. The new trailer for HBO's drama has just been released and it looks so good it practically s...
Joan Ronstadt Staff Writer @JoanRonstadt The Roseland Ballroom in New York City may be closing, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a Broadway Bares event this year! The first teaser, which you can watch below, has just been released. Broadway Bares 24 is moving to a new venue, The Hammerstein Ballroom, but you can certainly expect the same level of excitement as before.

You can see some pictures of participants on their website, “dressed” like these rock stars....
Robert Dominic Ventre II Staff Writer Earlier this month, the White House announced that a new method involving no medication was being developed by the National Institute of Health as a way to treat HIV. Judged as safe for those afflicted, the technique involves isolating key cells in HIV patients, removing and genetically modifying them, before returning them to their host. The initial research was funded by the National Institute of Alle...
