i09 seems we're getting a new Interview with the Vampire movie
Variety on what's holding Hollywood back from putting gay characters in franchises. I mean imagine if this hashtag were successful...
#GiveElsaAGirlfriend for Frozen 2. It's what the fans want and the narrative really calls for.
Pajiba omg. There's a kickstarter for a deck of "woman cards" which has awesome illustrations including Hillary, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Beyoncé
EW Congratulations to Colton Haynes, he of bolting from TV series just when everyone is falling in love with him (Teen Wolf, Arrow) and amassing a massive Instagram following. He is officially out of the closet after years of rumors and hints and non-denials
New Yorker Kiki & Herb are back after 8 years! My favorite cabaret act of all time
Final Girl looks back at James Whale's The Old Dark House. That's a fun ol' horror flick for Whale while he was warming up for Bride of Frankenstein (1934)
TV Line I was never into the show Alias (Jennifer Garner has never done it for me with the exception of Juno) but if you were you'll probably like this oral history
Awards Daily Alicia Vikander sets up her own production company - first project is called Euphoria and Eva Greene is her screen-sibling co-star
Towleroad Channing Tatum introduces the Men of Magic Mike Live. (I thought they were doing this as a Broadway show but it looks more like it's going to be more of a Las Vegas revue thing.)
Yes I will review Captain America: Civil War but until then...
Here are some articles on Avengers 3...

E! News 20 (fawning) questions you'll have after the movie
Comics Alliance schools Emily VanCamp (Agent 13, Cap's current love interest) on the world of "Stucky" fan fic. How did she not know that fans obsess about Steve & Bucky being in love?
Screen Crush all the Captain America: Civil War rumors that turned out to be false and the sites that published them. Haha. Another reminder of how useless the internet is when it comes to obsessing over things that don't exist yet!
Finally because I couldn't unsee it...

I never heard of Colton Haynes before. He's gorgeous!
New Interview with the Vampire: If it's successful and they try more of the Anne Rice stuff? Maybe I'll catch up with it. Otherwise, I'll stick solely to the original.
Gay characters in movies: Yeah, totally on board with this. Having it not be as much of a risk will help. Speaking of?
#GiveElsaAGirlfriend: I'd absolutely hope Disney does it. It'd eliminate the original's subtext, sure, but it's basically ensured that Frozen 2 will be some form of success. So, go for it.
Avengers 2.5: No, I'm not calling it "3". A lot of it IS still oriented around Bucky, so I'm going to give it a pass. That having been said? Good mix of articles.
the "Talk to her" poster was even more shamelessly plagiarized by Barbra Streisand... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5f/Duets_%28Barbra_Streisand_album%29.png
