'Til Death Do Us Part Season 1 — Review | DVD News and Reviews | 7/2/2008
Marriage can be murder, and that's the theme of this series depicted real-life tales of wedded woe. Join John Waters as "The Groom Reaper" as he leads us through 13 romances that turn deadly in this Court TV anthology series. The show reminds me of Tales From the Crypt and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, though it's slightly cheesier than either of those. The 3-disc set also includes interviews with the cast and crew, and new introductions by John Waters. — Gord Lacey'Til Death Do Us Part Season 1 on Amazon.com. read more

John Waters: Hairspray Hubbub Is Hooey | Today's News: Our Take | 6/15/2007
Original Hairspray auteur John Waters, responding to the New York Daily News' piece titled "Travolta in 'Spray Revolts Gays," argues, "It should have said 'Revolts Gay,' because it's just one person" — Washington Blade editor Kevin Naff — raising a ruckus. (Naff's beef is with Hairspray star John Travolta, whose Scientology faith has anti-gay tenets.) As Waters so wonderfully puts it to the News, "If [Travolta] was homophobic, dancing in [drag] with as many gay people as are working on this film, he would have had a heart attack and been dead." read more
Gays Urged to Say Nay to Travolta's 'Spray | Today's News: Our Take | 6/14/2007
Gays are beseeched to turn their nose up at Edna Turnblad, to protest the casting of John Travolta in the forthcoming Hairspray movie. Why? Scientology, to which JT subscribes, "has operated reparative therapy clinics to try to 'cure' gays," Washington Blade jefe Kevin Naff tells the New York Daily News. Seeing as Scientologists are obliged to donate a chunk of their income to the church, "by going to this movie, gay people are literally putting money into an organization that seeks to cure them," Naff contends.Naff also says "shame on" openly gay John Waters — who wrote and directed the 1988 movie on which the new pic is based — for allowing Travolta to be cast. Travolta's rep didn't respond to the News' request for comment. read more
