Gay Men's Beauty Pageant: Contestant, Judge Accused of Beating Another Judge with Trophy

In the WTF story of the week, two Chicago men were ordered held on bond Wednesday after they were charged with beating a judge with the trophy at a gay men's beauty pageant on Chicago's West Side. I know not to mess with an angry queen, but Jesus!

Leroy Tinch, 28 and Anthony Johnson, 23, were both charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm, a class one felony, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.

The men were ordered held on $75,000 bond by Circuit Court Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil.

Johnson allegedly became angry with another judge after he voted for different contestant, grabbed the trophy and hit the judge in the head with it. Tinch then jumped in and began hitting the judge with a sharp object, cutting him over his left eye, Conklin said. The victim suffered a broken jaw and a cut on his finger required seven stitches, Conklin said.

Who's that Queer?

Harris Glenn Milstead was an American singer and actor known by his drag persona Divine and his appearance in several of John Waters' films. The New York Times said of Milstead's films in the 1980s, "Those who could get past the unremitting weirdness of Divine's performance discovered that the actor/actress had genuine talent, including a natural sense of comic timing and an uncanny gift for slapstick."

Born in Baltimore on October 19, 1945, Milstead was raised as an only child. At the age of twelve, his family moved to Lutherville, a Baltimore suburb, where Milstead attended Towson High School and became acquainted with John Waters, who lived in his neighborhood.

In the 1970s, Milstead starred as Divine in a number of New York City theater pieces, including the classic camp women's prison drama, Women Benhind Bars, which was a major off-Broadway hit in 1976, playing the lead role of the evil matron, Pauline. Divine returned to the stage in another play, The Neon Woman, where he played the role of Flash Storm, the owner of a sleazy strip club plagued by a series of murders.

Milstead is most notably remembered for his numerous starring roles in film, for which he was a part of the regular cast known as the Dreamlanders. The Dreamlanders appeared in many of John Waters' earlier works such as Pink Flamingos (in 1972), Female Trouble, Polyester and Hairspray.

In the mid 1980’s, Milstead visited Bergen, Norway. At that time, Polyester had been a great success at the local cinema and he was treated as a real superstar by the press and by his live-show audience. In an interview with Bergen Gay Radio, Milstead mentioned that it was one of only a few times when he had experienced such immense appreciation. Usually he felt he was just some kind of industrial entertainer.

On the evening of March 7, a week after Hairspray was released, he was in Los Angeles staying in the Regency Hotel. The next day, he was due to audition for a part in the Fox network's television series Married... with Children. Known for his punctuality when working, people became concerned when he did not appear on the set the next morning. His manager, Bernard Jay, went to the hotel at noon to check on him. The autopsy found he had died in his sleep of heart failure, or an enlarged heart brought on by sleep apnea. He was 42 years old.

RuPaul Andre Charles is an American drag performer, singer, actor, and songwriter who gained fame in the 1990s; appearing in a wide variety of television programs, films, and musical albums. Working primarily in a drag queen persona, RuPaul has on occasion performed as a man in a number of roles, usually billed as RuPaul Charles.



In 1993 RuPaul recorded dance/house albums which were released through the hardcore rap label Tommy Boy, spawning the dance track hit "Supermodel (You Better Work)". The music video was an unexpected success on MTV, as grunge-rock and gangsta rap were popular at the time. Shortly thereafter, RuPaul was signed to a modeling contract for MAC cosmetics, making him the first drag queen supermodel. Billboards featured him in full drag with the text "I am the MAC girl." At this time he also released his autobiography, Lettin' It All Hang Out.

In 1996, he landed a talk show of his own on VH1, appropriately called The RuPaul Show, where he interviewed celebrity guests and musical acts. On one notable episode, RuPaul brought gay porn culture to Middle America with featured guests Chi Chi LaRue and Tom Chase.

Recently RuPaul began work on RuPaul's Drag Race, a reality television game show to air on Logo in February 2009. Top drag queens will compete to be selected as the number one drag performer in the country.

Panty-friendly pasta - You bettah WOK!

The campy new cookbook, Cooking Doesn’t Have to be a Drag takes drag domestic.

Excerpt:

Volume one has plenty of recipes to tide you over, including classics like a simple Szechuan chicken, caprese salad, and breakfast bites. For those watching their carbs, there is a chapter on "panty-friendly pasta." Of course there are plenty of cocktail recipes, as well as sound advice on wine pairing.

It’s the more creative recipes that really stand out, though. For the gal on the go, comedian Jackie Beat invented a simple recipe for taco salad, (Hint: it involves a big bowl and a trip to Taco Bell. If company’s coming, serve with individual salsa packets.) and Misty Eyez has a new take on shepherd’s pie made with ketchup and pork rinds.

If those ideas make your tummy churn instead of rumble, there are also some truly intriguing innovations like a spinach and strawberry salad and "lemonade fried chicken." Bieniek’s drag alter ego, Kris Coe, contributes a low-rent version of trifle that sounds delicious: bits of cake layered with Cool Whip and instant pudding, drizzled with Kahlua, and sprinkled with crushed up Heath Bars.

Cooking doesn't have to be a drag, hons!

Two words: drag cookbook.

Local author Stephen Bieniek loves to cook and he loves drag queens, so he fused the two together and came up with “Cooking Doesn’t Have To Be A Drag,” a cookbook full of recipes from dragazons across country. It contains simple and flavorful recipes, from Frida Lay’s corn pudding (mmmmm, corn) to Veronica Fake’s Chocolate Choker (sounds dangerously delish.)

And the yummiest is that it’s a cookbook on a mission: Proceeds from its sale benefit the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, the Midwest's largest source of private philanthropic support for HIV/AIDS prevention and care.
