In Case you missed it last night, in a rare interview Thursday, Chaz Bono told CNN’s Anderson Cooper he always felt “like one of the guys” as he celebrated the one-year anniversary of beginning the gender reassignment process, and RadarOnline.com has the clip for you.
The writer/activist, who was born to 70s chart toppers Sonny and Cher as Chastity, talked about the personal turmoil he underwent that fueled his decision to switch genders.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Needle-exchange programs designed to cut injection drug users’ risk of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and other infections do seem to reduce needle sharing, but there is only limited evidence that they lower disease transmission, a new research review concludes.
Reporting in the journal Addiction, researchers say that based on their study — an analysis of five previous reviews of needle-exchange programs — the evidence for the programs’ effectiveness is weaker than generally thought.
However, they also stress that their review did not find needle-exchange programs to be ineffective either. “The findings of this review should not be used as a justification to close NSPs (needle and syringe programs) or hinder their introduction,” write the researchers, led by Norah Palmateer, of Health Protection Scotland, part of the UK National Health Service.
Did you receive an “inappropriate” text message from ex-Rep. Massa? E-mail us privately and safely at news@nydailynews.com. Confidentiality is assured.
Disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Massa insists he never sexually abused anyone, but he filled his Capitol Hill rowhouse with low-paid male staffers in an arrangement ripe for trouble.
“It’s like he had people trapped,” said a Hill source. Sordid new details emerged yesterday of a pattern of behavior that went back to his 20 years as a naval officer, as ex-shipmates came forward to describe incidents of groping and perhaps worse.
Step back, Jack: The man who played TV’s iconic and over-the-top sidekick steps out of the shadow of his famous character to speak for the first time about living openly, his contribution to the gay movement, and his much-anticipated Broadway debut.

One of the things that Sean Hayes loves about Los Angeles’s Marino Ristorante, the old-school Italian restaurant he picked as the setting for this interview, is the music. “They play the craziest renditions of Frank Sinatra,” he says. “Stuff I’ve never heard. Like he sings ‘Close to You’ by the Carpenters.”
Sure enough, not 10 minutes later, Sinatra is crooning, “Why do birds suddenly appear…”
ANSING — Under legislation being considered Tuesday in the state House, when a patient signs into a medical facility for treatment, the paperwork will now contain a consent for HIV testing.
Supporters of the legislation, which include the Michigan Department of Community Health, Spectrum Health System in Grand Rapids, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, say the law will routinize HIV testing and bring Michigan into line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Those guidelines state that all U.S. residents, 13-64, should be tested for the virus annually. And, they say, it changes nothing.
Google gets the lion’s share of press coverage for perceived censorship of its search engine. But a new report says that Microsoft’s Bing may not only censor searches, it may do so more harshly than notoriously repressive Arab nations.
Open Net Initiative, a partnership between the University of Toronto and Harvard, conducted the study in the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Algeria, and Jordan. Their findings: just about anything related to sex was censored.
VF.com’s “Faces of the Games” portfolio features portraits of 44 Vancouver Olympians in their raw, natural states. U.S. Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir agreed to be photographed for the collection under one condition: Johnny wanted to go big. Think body paint. Think glitter. Think Lady Gaga.
That is how I found myself in a penthouse apartment—with the most astonishing view of Vancouver—watching MAC Cosmetics makeup artist Caitlin Callahan transform Weir into an otherworldy, blood-splattered being. The paint job took about three hours.
But amid the mayhem in the apartment—makeup brushes flying; a frenzied Sundance channel reality-TV crew bumping into people and furniture; couches being rearranged to make room for light boxes; fresh Starbucks deliveries; figure skating on TV and Bad Romance playing on tinny computer speakers—the skinny skater was rather stoic.
