• KIT212: Kenneth’s weekly gay rag roundup finds the gays gearing up for Halloween • Variety: Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci will play a gay couple on a road trip in Supernova, a romantic, modern love story that “follows two people who are bound together by their love for each other but being pushed apart by the situation they find themselves in.” • New Music: 3-time Grammy Award-winning vocal group Pentatonix drops this lovely cover of the Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows” from their new Best of Pentatonix Christmas album. While a Beach Boys song may not immediately ring Christmas bells in your head, ever since the tune was used in the closing credits of the uber-romantic Love Actually (2003), folks consider it a holiday-appropriate tune. I find the new version refreshing & sweet. Hit play below.

| Megan Mullally’s “Karen” has the blues on Will & Grace |
Watching this week’s mid-season premiere of Will & Grace last night, I was pleasantly reminded what a talented singer Megan Mullally is as her “Karen” delivered a stirring rendition of the iconic Judy Garland standard, “The Man That Got Away,” from her 1954 film, A Star is Born.
As the divorce with her husband Stan is finalized, Karen becomes melancholy and imagines herself in a dark club at a piano (it’s really a laundromat, but, isn’t that always the way?).
In addition to the short snippet of the song that made the episode, the producers of W&G have posted Mullally’s full performance of the song – and it is quite the moment.
Prior to W&G fame, Mullally spent many nights singing on the Broadway stage in hit musicals like Grease and How To Succeed in Business.
Will & Grace airs Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. on NBC. Check out Mullally’s full performance below.

The plot centers around the idea that “if you’re the first gay to come out” at school it will make you instantly popular.
Megan Mullally stars as another ‘friend of the gays.’ This time as the gay-friendly mother of the gay.
