Michael Musto

The IFC Center's Queer/Art/Film series - and generous sponsor Michael Musto - presented a dazzling World Premiere on Monday night: PAY IT NO MIND: MARSHA P.

. Bedlam Bath & Beyond By Michael Musto published: September 22, 2010 While we're twiddling our lacquered thumbnails and waiting: Bedlam Bar & Lounge is a new space based on a Victorian mental ward/gentlemen's club, located on totally cuckoo Avenue C. At a preview of the natty place—which is Bates Motel on steroids—co-owner Ben Maisani deadpanned to me, "Nothing gives character like a dead animal on the wall," as the gigantic moose head he got on eBay eyed us from its pervy perch. I expected...Read Full Story

The New York Observer decided, for some reason, to show us where Village Voice gossiper Michael Musto lives.  So what did we learn about the man who once reported how ugly I am in his highly popular column about downtown, nightlife and subculture? In the Spring edition of their Home Observer , the mag took us inside Musto's apartment revealing the man behind the character he plays. As it turns out, Musto (who often loves to go on television to promote his contributions to New York's downtown...Read Full Story

Image from source, Village Voice As a semi-gay activist (I'm not semi-gay, I'm a semi-activist), I find people like Michael Musto vaguely discomforting. I think it's great that he's out there, but he often makes me shift uncomfortably in my seat. I may have just a smidge of internalized homophobia. But I'm working on it. Anyway, Musto has been a frequent guest on Countdown with Keith Olbermann , most notably in the terminally stupid Carrie Prejean story. And while Musto often induces cringes...Read Full Story

Fresh from braving the gyno-storm of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse , our man on the street Michael Musto further dipped his oars in the lady-filled waters of The Kids Are All Right . Michael's pressing question this week is, in a steel cage, no-holds-barred grudge match, who makes the better lesbian, Annette Bening or Julianne Moore?
