Word on the Street: The Quest For A Gay Best Friend
[Please see ed. note at bottom of post]

Word on the Street: Send in the Queens
I have not one, but two, My Heart Will Go On dance remixes on my iPod. I consider Amanda Bynes to be my spirit animal and I think the fact that The Devil Wears Prada isn’t on Netflix streaming is a crime against humanity.
