LESLIE JORDAN, ICONIC GAY COMEDIAN DEAD @ 67

The beloved actor known for his roles on Will & Grace and American Horror Story died after a car accident.

The beloved comedic actor Leslie Jordan has died. He was 67 years old.

The news was first reported by TMZ.

Law enforcement told the outlet that Jordan crashed his BMW into the side of a building. Authorities said Jordan may have had a medical emergency before the crash, TMZ reports.

The building Jordan hit was at Cahuenga Boulevard and Romaine Street in Hollywood, the Los Angeles Times reports. He was declared dead at the scene of the crash.

The condition of Jordan’s BMW indicates he may have lost control of it before hitting the building, the Times notes.

On Instagram, Jordan’s official account posted a tribute to the actor.

“The love and light that Leslie shared will never go out and we invite you to share their memories and comfort each other during this time. In the coming days we will be giving a glimpse of a project Leslie was really proud of and was looking forward to sharing with the world,” it said.

Jordan was best known for his longtime role as Beverley Leslie on Will & Grace. The Memphis, Tenn.-born actor became a rival to Megan Mulally's Karen Walker on the show and won an Emmy Award for his portrayal in 2006.

He developed a long career in film and television appearances with projects like Reba, American Horror Story, Ugly Betty, and Nash Bridges to his name. He also played Lonnie Garr in Hearts Afire from 1993 to 1995.

At the time of his death, he was starring in Call Me Kat along with out actor Cheyenne Jackson, Mayim Bialik, Kyla Pratt, Julian Gant, and Swoosie Kurtz. 

During the pandemic, Jordan became a social media star via Instagram. He posted videos from an Airbnb he was living in doing everything from twirling batons to cracking jokes, and making his Instagram following grow exponentially from 80,000 followers to more than 3 million. He even gave anecdotes about his life, revealing photos of himself when he was younger and nicknames he'd once had like “Sweet N Low.”

"I'd do an exercise video because there are so many gay men with these perfect abs and they do exercise videos," Jordan told The Advocate in 2020 for a digital cover story about how the viral videos started. "So I did an exercise video where my stomach looked like my water's about to break.”

This viral stardom seemed to coincide with renewed interest. Ryan Murphy began a new project with Jordan and Dylan McDermott in 2020. In addition, Jordan was named the host of a competition show about cleaning called Squeaky Clean.

Jordan was a multihyphenate performing on-screen and onstage, in addition to releasing music. In 2021, Jordan released his first album, titled Company's Comin’, featuring gay icon Dolly Parton and out singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile among others, and he went on to make his Grand Ole Opry debut as a result. He's also written stage plays like My Trip Down the Pink Carpet, Stories I Can't Tell Mama, and Fruit Fly.

Earlier this year, Jordan took to Instagram to announce that his mother, Peggy Ann Griffin Jordan, had died.

For someone with a career so extensive — he first came to Hollywood in 1982 — Jordan is a rarity in that he never officially had a "coming out" moment, as he's been out for the lion's share of his career. In interviews, though, he spoke about how his agents have at times pushed him to "butch it up."

"Well, sh*t ..." as Jordan might say in one of his viral videos.

ICONIC VOGUE EDITOR ANDRÉ LEON TALLEY HAS DIED @ AGE 73

André Leon Talley, who became known across the world as an editor at Vogue magazine, has died, according to reports. Talley was known as a singular figure for years, working as a Black editor in high fashion. He developed close relationships with designers like Karl Lagerfeld as well as Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, among others.

Talley was 73.

The former editor died Tuesday at a hospital in White Plains, N.Y., where he had been living, TMZ reports. It was unclear what he was hospitalized for. 

Talley was raised in North Carolina and took to fashion at a young age, watching women parade in and out of church. He was raised by his grandmother, and later attended Brown University, where he studied French literature.

After college he interned for Diana Vreeland, the legendary Vogue editor, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She worked in the Costume Institute. He went from there to working at Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine and then Women's Wear Daily, an industry trade journal. While at WWD he moved to Paris and became the Paris bureau chief, putting him in constant contact with the industry's most powerful designers. His reviews continually gained him notice while he also made close friendships with the likes of Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent.

Eventually he went to Vogue, where he met Anna Wintour, who was another editor there at the time. The two developed a working relationship, and after Wintour ascended to editor in chief, Talley became creative director, a position he held from 1988 to 1995. 

After serving as creative director of Vogue, Talley was editor at large for the title. He also served as a top editor for Numero Russia. He said that he left Vogue for Numero because the salary was bigger. When he left Numero, after only a year, he said it was because of Russia's anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

"The one thing that really impacted me was Rachel Maddow's reporting last winter on the anti-LGBT laws in Russia," Talley told WWD. "There are no civil rights for people there. That's one of my reasons for departing." 

For much of his career, Talley demurred on details of his personal life, but he did once identify as fluid in terms of sexuality.

After that he continued to work for Vogue and did some work for Zappos Couture, among other projects. For a few years he was a staple hosting the red carpet for Vogue at the Met Gala. He also served as a consultant, providing advice to high-profile clients such as Michelle Obama on matters of style. He was also introduced to an even wider audience through his role in The September Issue as well as a judge on America's Next Top Model.

Talley wrote two memoirs: A.L.T.: A Memoir and The Chiffon Trenches: A Memoir. He was also the subject of the film The Gospel According to Andre. This came in addition to Talley serving as a go-to fashion historian for various documentaries like Valentino: The Last Emperor, Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards, and The First Monday in May.

GOLDEN GIRLS LEGEND BETTY WHITE DIES, AGE 99

 

Betty White has passed away, just 17 days before her milestone 100th birthday.

According to TMZ, who broke the tragic news, the pop icon passed away at her home just before 9.30am on Friday.

One of the most beloved figures in the entertainment industry, White’s incredible career spanned over nine decades – earning her a Guinness World Record in 2018.

The star memorably became one of the first female entertainers to make their mark in front of and behind the camera, and she was the first woman to produce a sitcom (Life with Elizabeth). This ultimately led to her being named honorary Mayor of Hollywood in 1955.

Known as a panellist on numerous American game shows – which earned her the title of “The First Lady of Game Shows” – White memorably became the first woman to receive the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host for Just Men! in 1983.

However, White was best known for her seven-year stint as the loveable Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. The NBC sitcom is widely recognised as one of the greatest and most influential shows of all time. For her work on the beloved series, White won a Primetime Emmy Award.

Her other achievements include seven other Emmy Awards in various categories, three American Comedy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Grammy Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A long-time supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, White previously said: “I don’t know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don’t worry about other people so much.”

Thank you for being a friend, Betty ❤️

THE WIRE STAR MICHAEL K. WILLIAMS FOUND DEAD IN NEW YORK APARTMENT AGED 54

The Wire star Michael K. Williams has been found dead at his home in New York, aged 54.

The New York Post reports that the actor was found dead in his New York apartment by his nephew on Monday afternoon (6 September).

No cause of death has been confirmed.

Williams, who appeared in HBO's Boardwalk Empire and the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave, was perhaps best-known for role as gay Baltimore gangster Omar Little on five seasons of HBO drama The Wire from 2002-2008.

Williams himself did not identify as gay, but his acclaimed portrayal of Little stood as a landmark depiction of Black male queerness on cable network television at a time when such roles remained almost non-existent.

In 2016, Williams' turn as Little on The Wire topped a British Film Institute (BFI) poll of the UK's favourite onscreen performances by a Black actor.

Before making the transition to acting, Williams worked as a backup dancer in the early '90s for stars including Madonna and George Michael, and in 1994 he choreographed the video for Crystal Waters' single '100% Pure Love'.

In 2020, the three-time Emmy nominee played another notable LGBTQ role, appearing as closeted 1950s father Montrose Freeman in HBO drama series Lovecraft Country.

REST IN PEACE ALEX TREBEK

 

(CNN)Alex Trebek, the genial "Jeopardy!" host with all the answers and a reassuring presence in the TV game-show landscape for five decades, has died. He was 80 years old.

"Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends," said a statement shared on the show's Twitter account Sunday. "Thank you, Alex."

The cause of death was not immediately announced. Trebek revealed in March 2019 he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, triggering an outpouring of support and well wishes at the time.

"Jeopardy!" contestant Ken Jennings tweeted Sunday he was thinking of Trebek's family and the "Jeopardy!" family, "which, in a way, included millions of us," he said.

"Alex wasn't just the best ever at what he did," Jennings wrote. "He was also a lovely and deeply decent man, and I'm grateful for every minute I got to spend with him."

Trebek is survived by his wife, Jean, whom he married in 1990, and his three children.

Host Alex Trebek talks to the 10 finalists in the fifth annual National Geography Bee in Washington, DC, on May 26, 1993.

Over 37 seasons, Trebek hosted more than 8,200 episodes of "Jeopardy!," the most by a presenter of any single TV game show, according to a statement from Sony Pictures.

But despite the years he spent on "Jeopardy!," the syndicated quiz show where answers are presented in the form of a question, Trebek wasn't exactly an overnight success.

Born in Sudbury, Ontario, he studied philosophy before becoming a journalist, working as a reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

In 1966, while still in his mid-20s, he switched from journalism to hosting game shows, starting with a quiz show titled "Reach for the Top," and followed a few years later by another, "Jackpot."

It wasn't until 1984 that Trebek landed what turned out to be his big break, when producer-host Merv Griffin chose him to emcee a revival of "Jeopardy!," which was paired with another hit game show, "Wheel of Fortune."

"Jeopardy!" moderator Alex Trebek is seen speaking in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on October 1, 2018.

The combination became a formidable block in the hour leading into prime time while earning Trebek five Daytime Emmy Awards for his role as host.

His longevity was reflected in a personal milestone, when he passed Bob Barker of "The Price is Right" in the Guinness Book of Records as the person who had hosted the most game-show episodes.

In a 2014 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Trebek downplayed that honor, saying, "I'm just enjoying what I'm doing, I'm happy to have a job. I like the show, I like the contestants and it pays well."

Trebek began hinting it might be time to retire in 2018, before agreeing to sign one last contract extension, which was to run through 2022.

"He loved that 'Jeopardy!' popularized intelligence and it was important for him," Mike Richards, the show's executive producer, told CNN on Sunday.

"I think he really became synonymous with the show, in that he really was that smart," Richards added. Trebek "reveled in these intelligent people, in the contestants, in the writers," Richards said, and he would review every clue for each show, rewriting them and giving them his own "flavor."

"It's just who he was -- he craved knowledge," Richards said. "And it showed."

Trebek's last day in the studio was October 29, according to Sony Pictures. "Jeopardy!" episodes hosted by Trebek are set to air through December 25.

"The show is not announcing plans for a new host at this time," the statement from Sony Pictures said.

Besides his hosting work, which included such shows as "Classic Concentration" and "High Rollers," Trebek was active as a philanthropist, taking part in USO Tours visiting US troops overseas and serving as a spokesman for various charities, including WorldVision.

One of the few public missteps in Trebek's career came when he tried his hand again at journalism, agreeing to moderate a Pennsylvania gubernatorial debate in 2018. Criticized for a performance that included talking more than either of the candidates, he subsequently apologized, saying he had been "naïve" about his role.

When Trebek announced his diagnosis in March 2019, tributes came from across the entertainment industry, including from late-night host Stephen Colbert, who said, "Everybody loves Alex Trebek."

Jennings compared Trebek to CBS anchor Walter Cronkite, tweeting, "Alex Trebek is in a way the last Cronkite: authoritative, reassuring TV voice you hear every night, almost to the point of ritual."

Trebek earned numerous awards over the course of his career, including the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding game show host, which he won seven times, most recently in July. He also received a lifetime achievement award at the Daytime Emmys in June 2011.

BLACK TRANSGENDER WOMAN AERRION BURNETT KILLED IN MISSOURI

 

Aerrion Burnett, a 37-year-old Black transgender woman, was shot to death Saturday in Independence, Mo., becoming the 27th known trans homicide victim of 2020.

Burnett, who lived in nearby Kansas City, was found dead on the side of the road about 3:40 a.m., TV station KMBC reports. It was two days before her 38th birthday.

Friends and family members held a vigil for her the next day. “Aerrion was a Barbie,” friend Korea Kelly said at the service, according to another local TV station, KCTV. “She was a goddess. Can you hear me? Fun! When I say goddess, she was everything. If you wanted to have a good day, you need to smile, Aerrion was the person you wanted by your side.”

There have been several homicides of trans women in the Kansas City area in the past few years, including Brooklyn Lindsey and Brianna Hill in 2019. And Burnett’s closest friend, Dee Dee Pearson, was killed Christmas Eve of 2011 by a man with whom she’d had sex; he didn’t learn she was trans until afterward, and he became so enraged that shot her to death. The man, Kenyan Jones, was convicted of second-degree murder and armed criminal action, and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

“As a friend, and both of those are my friends who both got killed the same way, and being a black trans woman myself, that hurts like hell,” Kelly told KCTV. “It’s a pain that I can’t fathom. It’s a pain that I don’t know how to fathom or to tell anyone how I’m feeling.”

“I find the continued news of Black trans women, and Black femme-identified members of our community, being murdered at an extreme rate to be beyond comprehension and deserving of our collective effort to bring about a dramatic and immediate end to this unique form of Black pain,” David Johns, executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, said in a press release. “Black trans people, Black trans women in particular deserve our protection — they deserve to live without fear of being discriminated against or murdered. Until this is their reality, ensuring that they are safe is on all of us.”

“Black transgender women are being killed at horrifying rates in this country,” added Tori Cooper, director of community engagement for the Human Rights Campaign’s Transgender Justice Initiative. “HRC has already seen as many violent deaths of trans and gender-nonconforming people this year as we tracked all of last year. This level of violence is staggering, and it cannot continue. We need everyone — from community organizers to those in the highest levels of our government — to take action to end this epidemic of violence. I and everyone in the trans community are mourning Aerrion’s death. As we remember her, we continue to call for justice for all trans and gender-nonconforming people.”

Independence police are asking for anyone with information about the crime to call its tips hotline, (816) 474-TIPS.  NBJC also recommended contacting the Independence Police Department “to demand a complete, fair, and public investigation” by calling (816) 325-7777 or emailing leads@indepmo.org.

COURT JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG DEAD AT 87

 

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, the court announced this evening.

Her death is a shock, and yet not a surprise. Ginsburg has been battling a series of illnesses for years. She was diagnosed with colon cancer more than 20 years ago, and ten years later pancreatic cancer, which finally claimed her. She had said that she planned to remain on the Court until she was 90,  but at age 87, her time just ran out.

Ginsburg has been repeatedly hospitalized in recent years, leaving progressives with palpitations that she could die and President Donald Trump could nominate another extremist conservative to the nation’s highest court. Now with the election around the corner, Ginsburg’s death will have huge political ramifications.

Ginsburg was one of the reliable liberals on the Court and a vocal supporter of LGBTQ rights. On every major Court ruling in the past 25 years, she has come down on the side of LGBTQ citizens, from declaring sodomy laws unconstitional to overturning “special rights” legislation aimed at barring anti-discrimination protections, to declaring marriage equality a national right.

Ginsburg was on the side of marriage equality from the beginning, but she did express concern about the Court getting ahead of public opinion. She cited the turmoil around abortion rights as the source of her fear, saying that Roe v. Wade came too soon for the public to accept it. But by the time the second case was before the Court, the one that ultmately made marriage a national right, she was clearly ready for the final decision.

“The change in people’s attitudes on that issue has been enormous,” Ginsburg said. “In recent years, people have said, ‘This is the way I am.’ And others looked around, and we discovered it’s our next-door neighbor — we’re very fond of them. Or it’s our child’s best friend, or even our child. I think that as more and more people came out and said that ‘this is who I am,’ the rest of us recognized that they are one of us.”

Her support went beyond her court opinions. She was the first Supreme Court Justice to officiate at a same-sex wedding, in 2013, and performed at least one other same-sex wedding. (Despite their obvious differences in opinion, Ginsburg was a close friend of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was renowned for his anti-LGBTQ opinions.)

“Today, we lost an unqualified, undisputed hero. She wasn’t just an iconic jurist, Justice Ginsburg was a force for good — a force for bringing this country closer to delivering on its promise of equality for all,” said Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David.

“Her decades of work helped create many of the foundational arguments for gender equality in the United States, and her decisions from the bench demonstrated her commitment to full LGBTQ equality. She was and will remain an inspiration to young people everywhere, a pop culture icon as the Notorious RBG and a giant in the fight for a more just nation for all. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. What she represented — fairness, justice and equality for all — we must all continue to fight for. Those principles are not transactional, they are fundamental to our democracy.”

“Today we have lost a giant of justice, a champion for equality and progress. Justice Ginsburg was an American hero and pioneer, a voice for so many marginalized people, leaving behind a legacy of courage, tenacity and historic impact in creating a better country and a better world for all of us,” National LGBTQ Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey added. “We are all so grateful for all Justice Ginsburg has done for LGBTQ people, for women, for our ability to control our own bodies, for all that seek to move freedom forward in this country.”

Ginsburg was a pioneer throughout her career. When she enrolled in Harvard Law School in 1956, she was one of only nine women in a class of 500. men. She had first-hand experience with sexism; despite a strong recommendation from one of her professors, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter rejected her application as a clerk because she was a woman. She worked in academia, building the legal framework against sex discrimination, which ultimately led to the Supreme Court agreeing that discrimination on the basis of sex was unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Ginsburg was appointed to the federal bench in 1980, and Bill Clinton nominated her for the Supreme Court in 1993, making her only the second woman justice. By the time she was on the Court for 20 years, she had attained almost mythical cultural status. She was the subject of a Hollywood biopic and was dubbed the Notorious RBG for her stinging dissents and workout stamina.

Ginsburg’s death is going to set off a scorched-earth battle in the Senate. Republicans, who know they are in danger of losing their majority, to say nothing of the White House, have long wished for Ginsburg’s demise, sometimes crudely. With just 46 days to the election, the GOP will be rushing to confirm someone quickly, abandoning any pretext that their excuse for holding up Merrick Garland’s nomination to replace Scalia was legitimate. (Garland was nominated nine months before 2016 election, but Republicans insisted that voters should decide.)

Trump has already published a list of potential Supreme Court nominees that includes some of the most anti-LGBTQ names out there, including Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. The prospect of turning the Court into a 6-3 conservative arm of government is too tempting for Republicans to pass up.

Before her death, Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter that she would not be replaced “until a new president is installed.” How likely her wish is to be granted remains to be seen. But if anyone needed a reminder what’s a stake in the election, Ginsburg’s death provides a sorry and frightening reminder.

'BLACK PANTHER' STAR CHADWICK BOSEMAN DEAD AT 43

 

Chadwick Boseman, the rising star who shot to fame playing Jackie Robinson, James Brown, and the leading role in Black Panther, the first superhero of African descent in mainstream America comics, has died of colon cancer. He was 43.

His publicist Nicki Firavante confirmed that the actor died at his Los Angeles home with his wife and family by his side.

According to his family, Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago. He never spoke publicly about his diagnosis.

“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” his family said in a statement to the Associated Press. “From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more — all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther."

Boseman’s talent and versatility were evident.

In 2013’s 42, he played Jackie Robinson, the first Black man to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era. When the Dodgers signed Robinson in 1947, the team was heralded for ending racial segregation in the sport.

The next year, Boseman starred in Get on Up as James Brown, the dynamite singer and Godfather of Soul who blazed several trails in funk music in the later 20th century.

Of course, his iconic role in Black Panther solidified his legacy in Hollywood. The film to date has made nearly $1.4 billion in the box office worldwide. In it, he plays T’Challa, who is crowned king of Wakanda following his father’s death until he’s challenged by Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), who plans to abandon the country’s policies to start a new revolution.

Boseman’s last role was in Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, a drama following a group of aging Vietnam War veterans who return to find the remains of their fallen squad leader as well as a treasure they’d buried while serving there.

LARRY KRAMER, PIVOTAL AIDS ACTIVIST, HAS DIED

After a lifelong fight that changed the national health policy surrounding AIDS and HIV, Larry Kramer died today according to a New York Times report. Kramer, who is an award-winning writer, died from pneumonia according to his husband David Webster. The two married in 2013.

Kramer, who helped to found Gay Men's Health Crisis and ACT UP, was known for his ornery, sometimes aggressive to activism. And while his style may have drawn criticism, Kramer's impact on conversations and policies that impact the trans and queer communities, particularly those who are living with HIV or AIDS, is immeasurable. 

“Once you got past the rhetoric,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told the New York Times, “you found that Larry Kramer made a lot of sense, and that he had a heart of gold.”

Kramer, who lived with HIV, was an accomplished playwright and author. His screenplay Women in Love saw him nominated for an Academy Award in 1969. His play The Normal Heart was turned into an Emmy-winning HBO film by Ryan Murphy. He also accepted the Isabelle Stevenson Award from the Tony's for his "substantial contribution on behalf of humanitarian, social service, or charitable organizations."

“Larry Kramer’s passing is the saddest news," Sir Elton John wrote in a tribute posted to Instagram. "We have lost a giant of a man who stood up for gay rights like a warrior. His anger was needed at a time when gay men’s deaths to AIDS were being ignored by the American government: a tragedy that made the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and ACT UP movements so vital. He never stopped shouting about the injustices against us. His voice was the loudest and the most effective. Larry Kramer captured the outrage and spirit of these turbulent times in his brilliant play The Normal Heart along with his many other writings. I was proud to know him and his legacy must be maintained. My heart goes out to his beloved husband David Webster.”

In 2015, Kramer began releasing his life's work, The American People. The first volume came in at 800 pages and the second was released in January. HBO released the documentary Larry Kramer In Love and Anger, in 2015, entered on his life story.

Kramer was has been previously recognized in the Out100, honored as with a cover of the issue in 2011. He also was previously a Power 50 honoree.
