Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar famously turned down directing a movie about gay cowboys in Wyoming. "Brokeback Mountain" has since become a gay classic, but now, the out director says he is set to send his own gay cowboy romance, "Strange Way of Life," to Cannes for its much-anticipated premiere next May. "The director broke the news on Dua Lipa's 'At Your Service' podcast," according to Variety. Almodóvar opened up a little about the movie, telling Variety, "It's about masculinity in a deep sense, because the Western is a male genre." The "Pain and Glory" director went on to say that the short film, which will have a run time of half an hour, "has a lot of the elements of the Western — it has the gunslinger, it has the ranch, it has the sheriff — but what it has that most Westerns don't have is the kind of dialogue that I don't think a Western film has ever captured between two men." Almodóvar teased that the movie is a "queer Western, in the sense that there are two men and they love each other," but, he said, the two cowboys in the film — played by Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal — "behave in that situation in an opposite way." Exactly what the "Parallel Mothers" director meant by that remains unclear; Almodóvar reigned himself in, saying, "And now I think I'm telling you a little bit too much." "Strange Way of Life" also stars 23-year-old Spanish actor Manu Ríos, who, as previously reported, has already found a measure of fame for his role in the Netflix series "Elite." Exactly how his character figures into the story remains to be discovered.⁠

Out entertainer Jojo Siwa and TikTok celebrity Avery Cyrus have ended their romantic relationship after three months, though they still remain friends, UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported. Cyrus, 22, "confirmed the news in a video shared Saturday that featured a clip of Siwa, 19, presenting her with a 'sorry for breaking up with you present,'" the Mail went on to add. Responding to a fan's question, Cyrus explained, "We decided that we are better off as friends! We are both so young and still just trying to figure our stuff out." In another post, Cyrus jokingly referred to being in her "healing era," but suggested that she was easily distracted when "a cute girl walks by." As previously reported at EDGE, Siwa had announced the romance last September, posting that she was the "happiest girl" and sharing video of herself and Cyrus laughing and kissing in a photo booth. That "video came a day after Cyrus, 22, shared a series of photos with Siwa on Instagram captioned: 'Bestest photo dump ever,' " the Mail noted at the time. "She also posted a video to her 7.9 million TikTok followers which showed her traveling all the way from Florida to Los Angeles to give Siwa a snuggle."⁠

#2022Rewind :: Chris Hemsworth showed some of his super-hero skills in a new Instagram post where he and a friend take a snow bath in sub-zero Austrian temperatures, the Daily Mail reports. With an expression that shows the star channeling his best Zen, he captioned his pic with a prediction that he is part of an upcoming health meme: "Ice baths are old news. It's all about snow baths in 2022." "Some alternative medicine advocates claim submerging one's body in cold water, snow or ice can have health benefits," adds the Daily Mail.  But in the comment section, one user suggested an unwelcome side effect of a snow bath: "Captain shrivel after that brother hahaha." Another user saw the pic as a reference to the 2020 Netflix film "Extraction," which stars Hemsworth. He also shared a video of his workout regimen for the film. "Gearing up for @netflix Extraction sequel. Transitioning from heavy weight training to a lot more body weight functional movements concentrating on agility, strength and speed. Give this little work out a go and let the lungs scream for mercy!" he writes in his comment to the what appears to be an exhausting routine.⁠

Julius' Bar in New York City has cemented its place in the Big Apple's history. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to designate the long-running gay bar as an individual landmark, reported ABC news. Located on 10th Street in the West Village neighborhood, the bar has been in business since the 1860s and "played an important role in the fight for civil rights for the LGBTQ community," according to ABC. "In 1966, we had something called the sip-in," Julius' Bar manager Nick Gabriellini told ABC. "Where the state liquor authority didn't allow homosexuals to be served alcohol if they were openly gay. So, they staged the sip-in here, and there was a lawsuit." Before the Stonewall uprising, the sip-in and lawsuit was a big step for LGBTQ+ equality. "The 'Sip-In' at Julius' was a pivotal moment in our city and our nation's LGBTQ+ history, and this designation today marks not only that moment but also Julius' half-century as a home for New York City's LGBTQ+ community," said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. "Honoring a location where New Yorkers were once denied service solely on account of their sexuality reinforces something that should already be clear: LGBTQ+ New Yorkers are welcome anywhere in our city. Let this designation serve as an important reminder to everyone that LGBTQ+ history is New York City history and that, like Julius', the City of New York will always serve as a safe haven for LGBTQ+ people to be safe and feel safe." For longtime patrons, the landmark designation brings a sense of pride.⁠

The sports world is abuzz with French tennis star Fabien Reboul having come out in an Instagram Stories post... or did he? Reboul, who is ranked #54 globally for men's doubles in tennis, set hearts aflutter with a pair of photos of himself together with another French player, Maxence Broville. In one pic, the two — dressed identically in the clothing of Slade Toulousain, the tennis club to which they both belong — gaze into one another's eyes. In the other, the two share a passionate kiss. Reboul provided the caption, "I did not fall in love with you, your love pushed me to it." Twitter exalted over the images... but with a caveat. "Looks like we (finally) have LGBTQ+ representation from an active ATP player ?️‍?" posted one Twitter user, though the post quickly added, "Note: nothing's been confirmed from either, but this could be a big step for men's tennis."⁠

Brazilian musician Pedro Sampaio announced on social media that he's sexually fluid amid rumors he is dating drag superstar Pabllo Vittar. When Sampaio released a new single with the drag icon last Thursday, many wondered if the pair are dating. They were seen kissing on the stage of the program "Música Boa", on Multishow last week. According to her Wiki entry, Vittar is the most followed and most streamed drag queen in the world, surpassing RuPaul. In 2020, Vittar was featured in a campaign for Calvin Klein, as part of the designer's pride collection. Whether Sampaio and Vittar are dating hasn't been officially confirmed, but Sampaio made it clear that he's open to the possibilty. He's revealed that when it comes to his sexuality, he is open to both men and women. Asked by the website G1 if he feels free to date men or women, he replies: "Yes, I am." "People are always discovering, always changing. I think it's so outdated [to demand a definition ]: 'I'm gay', 'I'm bi', 'I'm straight'. You are you, do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want". He continued: "This lack of freedom, this thing that is so rigid, loses the fun of everything. Besides, it's a lot that Pabllo fights against. If I'm making a song with Pabllo, I have to embark on this wave, which is my truth already , but I have to leverage it".⁠

If I'm making a song with Pabllo, I have to embark on this wave, which is my truth already , but I have to leverage it".⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ????⁠ ?: @pedrosampaio

Brazilian musician Pedro Sampaio announced on social media that he's sexually fluid amid rumors he is dating drag superstar Pabllo Vittar. When Sampaio released a new single with the drag icon last Thursday, many wondered if the pair are dating. They were seen kissing on the stage of the program "Música Boa", on Multishow last week. According to her Wiki entry, Vittar is the most followed and most streamed drag queen in the world, surpassing RuPaul. In 2020, Vittar was featured in a campaign for Calvin Klein, as part of the designer's pride collection. Whether Sampaio and Vittar are dating hasn't been officially confirmed, but Sampaio made it clear that he's open to the possibilty. He's revealed that when it comes to his sexuality, he is open to both men and women. Asked by the website G1 if he feels free to date men or women, he replies: "Yes, I am." "People are always discovering, always changing. I think it's so outdated [to demand a definition ]: 'I'm gay', 'I'm bi', 'I'm straight'. You are you, do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want". He continued: "This lack of freedom, this thing that is so rigid, loses the fun of everything. Besides, it's a lot that Pabllo fights against. If I'm making a song with Pabllo, I have to embark on this wave, which is my truth already , but I have to leverage it".⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ????⁠ ?: @pedrosampaio

Just when you thought "The White Lotus" Season 2 had established its main core of characters came the tease of a new hottie coming in the midst. Towards the end of the third episode, called "Bull Elephants," Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), the conflicted assistant to Tanya McQuoid-Hunt (Jennifer Coolidge), is sitting by the pool when she crosses paths with another guest -- a sexy 20-something about to take a dip. Silently, he shows all kinds of signals and thirsty energy as he shows off for Portia's benefit, that is, until he lands in the pool and cries out how cold the water is. As he swims, he stares at Portia sitting by the pool and she returns his look; but before something can develop, she is interrupted by Albie (Adam DiMarco), the sweet American with whom she is having a flirtatious relationship. This marks the first sighting of Jack (Leo Woodall) in the series, but he is said to play a larger role. He plays the nephew to a British expat (Tom Hollander), who are also vacationing at the luxury Sicilian resort. What part Jack (or his uncle) play in the remaining -- and the show's murder -- remain to be seen, but Jack in the pool certainly caught the eye. Woodall is a 26-year-old British actor who has been working in the industry since 2019. Among his acting roles are has appeared in the shows "Vampire Academy" and "Holby City," along with the movie "Cherry" and a short called "Man Down." Up next, he's set to star in a movie called "Nomad," and in the show "Citadel." And it was reported by Deadline in June that he has joined the cast of "One Day" on Netflix "This is Going to Hurt" breakout Ambika Mod.⁠

Zander Murray is the first top-flight Scottish footballer to come out as gay, but it hasn't been without issues. This past weekend Murray revealed that "horrible" homophobic hate mail has been sent to his club. Saying he has been "humbled" by the support from fans after his historic coming out in September, he explained that several hateful leaflets were sent directly to him at his club, including one titled "Homosexuality in light of the Bible," PinkNews reported. "Don't mind trolls on social media, but to go out your way and send hate mail to my club?," Murray tweeted. "Such horrible words and so out of touch with reality," he said. Murray quickly got support from fans on Twitter.⁠
