The fourth time's the charm for this "Candyman." Nia DaCosta has crafted a beautiful-looking horror film that has a lot more going for it than supernatural slashers usually have. Fans will be invested, but we suggest a review of the 1992 classic just so you can enjoy all the nuance put into this well-made reboot. Disturbing, fun, and intriguing, definitely take this "Candyman's" treat, but please don't say his name five times... Tap link in bio to read more of EDGE's review on @EDGEmedianetwork ??ī¸?

Chef Josie Smith-Malave has done it all. A classically trained chef, she's traveled the world, appeared on the hit TV series "Top Chef," and worked in the best kitchens across the country from New York City to San Francisco. She now calls Fort Lauderdale home and is the chef-owner of Bubbles & Pearls, an intimate dining spot and raw bar in LGBTQ+-friendly Wilton Manors. Smith-Malave's dynamic career, which has also included a stint playing for the New York Sharks of the Independent Women's Football League, was put in jeopardy after she contracted COVID-19 early in the pandemic. Ever resilient, she's relied on her sobriety to get through tough times, both personally and professionally. Smith-Malave will share plenty of ideas for creating joyful, sober dining experiences at home, along with her approach to managing life's challenges through healthy living and eating. Recovery Unplugged's Vice President of Business Development Joseph Gorordo will join in the conversation, offering insights about the critical need for LGBTQ+ inclusivity and proper training in the drug and alcohol treatment industry and how Recovery Unplugged harnesses the power of music in its treatment programs. Don't miss this intimate live interview with one of the country's leading #LGBTQ+ chefs and a closer look at Recovery Unplugged's groundbreaking work in addiction treatment on Tuesday, August 31, 1 p.m. ET on EDGE's Facebook!

Pop star JoJo Siwa will compete as part of the first same-sex pairing on "Dancing With the Stars" for the show's upcoming 30th season. Siwa, an 18-year-old who has said she identifies as gay and queer, said the same-sex pairing signals to viewers that it's OK to be your true self. She named Lindsay Arnold, Jenna Johnson and Britt Stewart as among the show's regular pros she'd like to be paired with. "I think it breaks a wall that's never been broken down before," she told an online gathering of the Television Critics Association. "It's normal for a girl to dance with a guy, and I think that's really cool, but it's really special that now not only do I get to share with the world that you get to love who you love, but also you get to dance with who you want to dance with." Siwa noted that among the things to be worked out with her partner are who leads, how do they dress and what shoes do they wear. "It's going to give so much to people out there, people of the LGBTQ community, everyone, people who feel just a little different," she said. "I want to make it OK for the people who come after me."

How about a little madness and mayhem? If it is with Sandra Bernhard, then emphatically yes, especially if she's going to be performing it in person for the first time in more than a year and a half. Bernhard is bringing her latest show, "Madness and Mayhem," to City Winery venues in the Northeast beginning on August 29 in Hudson Valley, NY, followed on August 30 at City Winery at Hudson River Park. On September 1 she heads to City Winery, then on September 2 to City Winery in Boston, MA. She heads out west for October dates in Arizona and California. Not that Bernhard has been hibernating during the pandemic. She continued hosting "Sandyland," her hit Sirius radio show, from her New York home during the pandemic. And a year ago she was part of the cast of "Pose" when it filmed its final season under strict pandemic rules in New York City. Bernhard spoke to EDGE recently about returning to the stage, the importance of "Pose," and what she thinks of those who don't get vaccinated. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?ī¸â???

An adult entertainment industry monitoring organization is calling for a halt in production. PASS (Performer Availability Screening Services) has reported that a performer has tested positive for HIV, reported Str8UpNews.com. "Many adult film production houses in the USA, particularly those specializing in 'bareback' or condomless porn, use HIV testing as their primary means of preventing HIV among performers. "Currently, performers are required to have frequent HIV tests, with their data stored on a third-party database to protect their privacy. The production house consults the database, and is notified if an actor is cleared to work," wrote the website Avert, which supplies information about HIV and AIDS, in 2016. In the tweet they wrote, "In an abundance of caution we are calling for a precautionary production hold after learning that a performer, who had not tested with for several months, tested positive for HIV. "At this time there does not appear to be a threat to the performer pool." It also included a statement from Michelle LeBlanc, the board President: "This morning PASS was alerted that a performer, who had not tested with PASS in several months, had tested positive for HIV. Any performer who has had contact with them is being contacted and retested." "We have been advised by the PASS testing facility that there does not appear to be a threat to the performer pool. However, in an abundance of caution, we are calling for precautionary production hold. We expet to have full results of all tests by Tuesday, and will make a decision to lift the hold as soon as those results are back." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ???

![Nico Tortorella once said they have "too many [tattoos] to count," but their latest ink is hard to ignore. The 33-year-old "Younger" star revealed a new tattoo this past weekend â a graphic, ink design that stretches from neck to heel, reports People magazine. "Younger" recently completed its final season on Paramount+ and coincidently, Tortorella played a tattoo artist on the show. They revealed the tat on their Instagram Stories Friday, complete with a pic of their backside showing the entire tattoo, which begins at their neck, runs down the middle of the back and then moving to their right side shadowing their buttocks before running down their right leg to their heel. "Inspired by the one and only @bethanycmeyers," Tortorella wrote under their video, tagging their spouse, who has a similar line tattoo. Tortorella called himself "sexually fluid," identifying as bisexual in 2016. They married Meyers in 2018. Along with the full-body footage of their tattoo, Tortorella also included a photo of their new ink, writing, "We love a freehand outline" and tagging tattoo artist @fcknrx, who shared their own photos of the star's new body art on Instagram. Tortorella talked about the tattoo with People. "If I wasn't a full-time actor, I think I would be fully covered. I get tattoos all the time. My agents want to die. They gave up hassling me a long time ago," the actor said. "The art of tattoos, historically, is one of the most sacred practices. I'm really strongly connected to the ancient practices of tattoo work â not just, 'Oh, it's cool to get tattoos now.'" ????

!["Euphoria" hunk Jacob Elordi visited "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this week where he talked about the HBO show's upcoming second season, which included describing the "penis checks" on the set, reports Bustle. They came about because of a number of prosthetic penises used for shower scenes in the series that is currently filming its second season, delayed by the pandemic. "When you come into the makeup trailer, they're all kind of set up," Elordi said, adding that the show's makeup artists have to apply "makeup on the penis" and routinely hold so-called "penis checks" between takes to make sure the "makeup stays on and looks as lifelike as possible." Elordi also told guest host Julie Bowen how he grew a mullet, only to have his girlfriend Kaia Gerber chop it off after just a week. "I had always wanted a mullet and my mum never let me have one cause she wanted me to be a gentleman," he explained. His opportunity came with the pandemic lockdown. "But he admitted that his experience as a mullet man was short-lived. 'My girlfriend [Kaia Gerber], within a week of us dating, she cut it off,' he said. 'She took me to the bathroom and she got scissors out.' "You're cute, but not that cute," he said Gerber told him, which Bowen repeated.Elordi also discussed how the show, which enters its second season after a pandemic delay, will shake things up. "It's insane, but it's like a completely different show," he said. He also said that his character Nate will not be clothed as much in Season 2, which touched upon an issue that bothered Elordi: objectification, either from "Euphoria" or "The Kissing Booth" franchise.

Washington, DC steals the hearts of an estimated 24.6 million visitors per year as one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly cities in America. With waterfront views, countless outdoor parks, dining districts, and colorful cultural experiences, there is no shortage of places for queer travelers to eat, play, and love. But to capture the magic of DC's LGBTQ+ pride is to tell the stories of the District's diverse communities. Whether traveling alone, on business, or planning a group getaway, visitors to DC will quickly find that the District is "available" to everyone, says Michael Parra, a longtime resident. As a Latino cisgender male and young professional, Parra says he found comfort in DC being a "very diverse place." "Available because you can find a sense of community in DC. The fun is in finding clubs and events that cater to your specific tastes," says Parra, who was born and raised in northern Virginia. "DC was always in my backyard as a child until adulthood. My first thought that comes to mind about DC is how career-driven people are there. A lot of conversations with people have weight and are of substance compared to other areas in the U.S." When it comes to things to do, there are tastes for every tribe, and the District's offerings can fill a multi-day itinerary from dawn 'til dusk. By day, DC's numerous monuments and memorials offer insights into our country's complex legacy, with nearby restaurants adding a taste of local culture. By night, the District's most notable sights, like the Lincoln Memorial, offer powerful moments to connect with travel companions and locals alike.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena, showed that he's looking more and more like his famous bodybuilder dad with his latest thirst-trap. Baena spent time at the pool of his alma mater, Pepperdine University, where he did a few laps in the rainy Malibu weather while wearing a black speedo, reported the Daily Mail. He wrote in his post: "Rainy days in LA are surprisingly refreshing. Started the day off with a swim and now heading to my next listing appointment. Hope every has a great hump day!!!" Earlier this month he posted a pic of himself with his dad that showed their strong resemblance. "Happy Birthday Dad! I hope your pump was juicy and may your day be filled with lots of schnitzel, schnapps and stogies!!!," he wrote in the post. Father and son have worked out together over the past year, which Baena has chronicled on IG. "This selfie was taken moments before my dad suggested I do "forced reps" for the rest of the workout. You have to go all out and absolutely NO cheating when you train with him, so you know I'm going to be hurting tomorrow," he wrote. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ????
