R.I.P. Quincy Jones
Tumblr media
Music giant Quincy Jones died November 3rd at age 91 after battling pancreatic cancer. Jones' career spanned seven decades, starting in the 1950s' as a jazz arranger. He began recording solo albums in 1955 after touring Europe with multiple jazz orchestras and almost starving with his own band, The Jones Boys. By the late '50s, Jones had met Frank Sinatra, and six years later he started arranging and conducting the bands on his albums. The '60s also gave Jones the opportunity to produce hit pop records for singer Lesley Gore. He started scoring for films and wrote soundtracks for The Pawnbroker, In the Heat of the Night, In Cold Blood, The Italian Job, and the 1975 cult classic The Wiz, where he met Michael Jackson.  There were many other films he created music for and he famously produced The Color Purple in the '80s after discovering Oprah Winfrey. Television was another arena that benefitted from his music. Jones wrote the theme song for Sanford and Son and composed for the Roots miniseries and The Bill Cosby Show. No other African-American had the job of musical director and conductor of The Academy Awards before Jones. Mercury Records made him the first Black music executive when he was hired as the musical director of the company's New York division. 
The American public always connects him to his production work on Michael Jackson's most important solo albums, Off The Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Thriller has gone down in history as the best-selling album of all time. The '80s was the era when he released his album, The Dude, which had appearances from his goddaughter singer Patti Austin and James Ingram. It was Jones who brought together the biggest names in pop music for the "We Are The World" recording session to raise money for the Ethiopian famine in 1985. His trailblazing ways touched the world of hip-hop when he released his Back on the Block album in 1989, which had appearances from rappers Ice-T, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, and Big Daddy Kane. Thirteen-year-old R&B singer Tevin Campbell got his big break singing the Jones' "Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)" on the album. Quincy Jones' reach expanded into television production in the '90s when he produced The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, which was Will Smith's first acting job, and In the House, which starred LL Cool J. He also produced The Jenny Jones Show and the comedy show Mad TV. In 1993, Jones co-founded Vibe magazine with David Salzman.  In his seven-decade career, his reach was felt in multiple genres of music and media. He even appeared as himself in several television shows. He was just as committed to his humanitarianism by lending his support to the NAACP, GLAAD, AmfAR, Peace Games, and Maybach Foundation. His We Are The Future project launched in 2004 to help poor children survive and pursue their dreams. Jones' accomplishments are too many to list because his contributions to pop music and culture are unlike any other artist before and after him.  He opened up his life to the public by publishing his autobiography in 2001, The Complete Quincy Jones in 2008, and the 2018 documentary, Quincy. In 2022, he published a book of life advice, 12 Notes: On Life and Creativity.

In touching speech, Oprah Winfrey discusses brother who died of AIDS
Media legend Oprah Winfrey recently spoke about her younger brother Jeffrey who died of AIDS. She spoke of him while accepting a Vanguard Award from the queer media watchdog group GLAAD. GLAAD presents the award to allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and issues. “Many people don’t know this, but 35 years ago, my brother Jeffrey Lee passed away when he was just 29 years old, from AIDS,” Winfrey said near the start of her speech. “Growing up at the time we did, in the community that we did, we didn’t have the language to understand or to speak about sexuality and gender in the way that we do now. And at the time, I really didn’t know how deeply my brother internalized the shame that he felt about being gay. I wish he could have lived to visit these liberated times and to be here with me tonight.” Related: Oprah Winfrey advocates for LGBTQ+ rights in Tennessee State commencement speech She said these words in a state that has passed a ban on public drag performance and has outlawed gender-affirming care for minors. “I wish my brother Jeffrey could have experienced a world that could see him for who he was and appreciate him for what he brought to this world,” she added. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Daily * Weekly * Good News * During her speech, she mentioned that The Oprah Winfrey Show — her televised talk show which ran from 1986 to 2011 — worked during the AIDS crisis to correct “rampant misinformation and misguided fear” about gay men. In 1987, she brought her talk show to Williamson, West Virginia — a town that had shut down a local pool after an HIV-positive man was found to have swam there — to hold a town hall where medical experts explained how the virus is transmitted. “We brought the facts and tried to erase some of the biases,” Winfrey said in her speech. “And then we went back, 23 years later, to revisit it and help people to confront their beliefs around homosexuality, and saw both the personal growth and the lack of personal growth that had taken place.” Her show also commemorated National Coming Out Day in 1988, the same year that the observance was first created, to have people publicly come out to their parents on the air — though she admitted that she required all participants to come out to their parents before the show aired because, “Really, I don’t want your mom to come after me.” “I wanted to create a safe space to bring the lives and the background stories of the LGBTQ community front and center to our audience,” she said. “And what I’ve learned over the years of interviewing over 35,000 people one-on-one… is that every single person wants the same thing, and that is the desire to feel seen and to know that what we say matters and to know that we matter.” She noted that, since launching the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011, she had helped air documentaries on transgender people, including Becoming Chaz, about Cher’s son Chaz Bono, and I Am Jazz, about young trans youth advocate Jass Jennings. Related: Oprah & Gayle King try to define LGBTQ slang terms & they don’t care if they’re wrong “I’ve never heard this from any gay person,” Oprah said of a particularly difficult expression. Even today, Winfrey continues to use her platform to foster understanding towards the LGBTQ+ community. In 2021, she spoke with actor Elliot Page about the “joy” transitioning brought him; in 2016, she spoke with Connie Johnson, wife of retired NBA superstar Magic Johnson, about how she reconciled her Christian faith with her son’s homosexuality; and in 2015, she spoke with gay former-child actor Danny Pintaro about his meth addiction. Oprah also played the role of a therapist in the history-making 1997 episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ sitcom Ellen, in which DeGeneres came out. Oprah and Ellen have… http://dlvr.it/T4Ypq9

Chapter Eight : YEP, I’M GAY
Tumblr media
Four words that changed lives forever.
THIS ELLEN OF MINE
Tumblr media
Ellen DeGeneres was born January 26, 1958. With a stand-up career that began in the early 80s, she forged a solid reputation as a comedian, notably through appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (possibly the biggest talk show and host of all-time). Shortly, she ventured into roles on TV and movies, to mixed results.
Her big break through came with an offer from ABC to create and star in her own sitcom, Ellen. Based on her career as a stand-up comedian. Referred at the time as a “female Seinfeld”, the show’s humor was quite close to what DeGeneres had offered previously on stage. Launched on March 29th, 1994, Ellen (called These Friends of Mine in its inaugural season before changing to simply its protagonist’s name to avoid confusion with a new show called Friends) got solid ratings for its first four seasons due to its actress’ popularity. Between you and I, ‘decent’ would be the first adjective that would come to mind remembering the sitcom. It was no Mary Tyler Moore Show and it did the work.
Tumblr media
HIT THE FAN
Shit hit the fan in 1997. Speculations about Ellen’s sexuality weren’t a novelty but the media attention on the actress and her show (which made less and less subtle reference to a possible change of sexual orientation of its protagonist) became somewhat overbearing to all. Well, anyway let’s back up. By the end of the third season, producers were becoming frustrated by the fact that Ellen (Morgan in the show) were not dating anyone on the show. Disney (who owns ABC) suggested that since the character showed no inclination toward dating, she should get a puppy — you’ll see why it’s important. It was summer 1996. DeGeneres and her writers began negotiations with the network to have Morgan come out during season Four. Word of the secret negotiations leaked in September of that year, but without any clues if the character, the actress, or both would come out. Between that time and the announcement of the coming out episode in march of 1997, GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) even launched a campaign called “Let Ellen Out!”. With the official announcement of the episode, backlash followed. The studio received a least one bomb threat. DeGeneres was followed by car to the studio by a “suspicious man”. thousands of hate letters were send to the actress, ABC and Oprah Winfrey (who guest starred in the episode as Ellen’s shrink).
Tumblr media
Prior to the broadcasting of the episode, Ellen made the cover of Time magazine on April 14 with the words “YEP, I’M GAY”, ending speculations about her real-life sexuality.
On April 30th, The Puppy Episode (see, it was important) became the highest-rated episode of Ellen with 42 million viewers. On the media and professional side, the episode received universal acclaim. It won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, a Peabody Award and DeGeneres received a GLAAD Media Award the following year. It was described as “the most hyped, anticipated possibly influential gay moment on television”, paving the way for more LGBT-oriented programs such as Will & Grace (1998), The L Word (2004) or Ugly Betty (2006). The episode was itself ranked #35 on TV Guide’s list of “100 greatest episodes of all-time”.
Following the rating success of the episode, Ellen received full support from the network and the show was renewed for a fifth season.
Well, sort of.
Tumblr media
BE GAY BUT NOT TOO GAY
Season five came on the air with a parental advisory warning at the beginning of of every episode. To that, DeGeneres said “It was like this voice like you’re entering some kind of radiation center. It was very offensive, and you don’t think that’s going to affect ratings ?”. Furthermore, the exploration of this new world by the character (learning more about the community, finding a partner) was strongly criticized by viewers, even queer celebrities like Chaz Bono. Ratings severely declined and ABC canceled it the end of the 1997–1998 season.
DeGeneres returned to stand-up and tried a TV comeback in 2001 with the short-lived sitcom The Ellen Show, in which her character is openly gay from the start. The show was cancelled after 13 episodes, with 5 left unaired.
Backlash followed the three women that took part of The Puppy Episode. While DeGeneres ended up without a sitcom within a year, Laura Dern (who played Morgan’s love interest) stated that she did not work for over a year because of her appearance on the show. We’re talking about a Oscar-nominated actress, second-generation Hollywood royalty. Still, Dern described her experience as extraordinary and was thrilled at the opportunity to take part of the episode. Oprah Winfrey received over 900 calls and letters from viewers the day following the Puppy Episode, calling her every racist term there is. It also restarted the rumor that she was involved in a gay relationship with best friend Gayle King (for those who don’t know who Gayle King is, just watch her R. Kelly interview of this year. She’s da boss).
Today, Winfrey is still the biggest medial mogul there is. Dern is still working actively, received an Emmy for Big Little Lies and was nominated for a second Oscar in 2014.
Tumblr media
DeGeneres launched (on ABC) her own day-time talk show in 2003. To this day, the show has been on the air for 16 years and produced over 3000 episodes. It is officially renewed until 2022 and DeGeneres has won 30 Emmy Awards (mostly for the talk show).
LES-GAY-CY
Tumblr media
You need to remember that in 1997, no one was talking publicly about his or her sexuality. It was something to keep to yourself and certainly not make a whole fuss about it. In this context, the fact that Ellen DeGeneres got approval to make her character the first openly gay protagonist on network television AND made the cover of Time Magazine with the greatest coming-out announcement of all-time is pretty incredible. She said “I had a lot of death threats, a lot. And there was a bomb scare when we shot. It was tough,” she said. “That’s why most people don’t come out, because you think you’re going to lose your career and so people choose a career over being truthful and I decided to feel that being truthful was more important than a career." She paved the way for so many celebrities to free themselves from heteronormative appearances in order to get jobs. Also, media representation is important. Where would we be today if she didn’t had the courage of be so open ? Would we have marriage and (some sort of) equality ? I think not. She helped accelerating the process by years and years. She was crucified for it and even if she’s now doing very, very, very well (77 million dollars in 2018) for herself, she could have ruined her career for good. Ellen DeGeneres did this for us. Also, a bit for herself as a coming out is normally not about anybody but you. But mostly for us. For that, I am thankful.

APRIL 30: The Puppy Episode (1997)
Tumblr media
Picture source: x
This is the twenty-year anniversary of Ellen DeGeneres’ Puppy Episode which premiered on ABC today in 1997.  
The title--which came from the producers frustrated over Ellen’s character’s lack of interest in dating and relationships and suggesting the next season she get a puppy--was a way to keep Ellen’s secret before the episode aired. News of Ellen (both the character and the actress) coming out circulated between 1996 and 1997 while the writers were in negotiations with ABC and Disney about the episode. “Disney rejected the first draft of the script with Disney producer, Dean Valentine, stating that it did not go far enough. Director Junger reported Valentine said, “If we’re going to do it, let’s do it.” Other sources indicate that ABC was never supportive of this direction (DeGeneres and writers citing that the title of the episode was to keep the company from knowing what was happening before they could pull the idea) and blame DeGeneres’ more “political” direction resulting in the demise of the show.
DeGeneres’ character became the first openly gay lead character on network television. Though the highest rated Ellen episode, winner of Emmys for Outstanding Writing For a Comedy Series and Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing, and winner of Peabody Award as well as DeGeneres winning GLAAD Media Award in 1998, the show was cancelled after one more season (in which before every episode, ABC gave a parental advisory content warning) and Ellen DeGeneres and Laura Dern received a lot of hate for a long time. During the tenth anniversary special on DeGeneres’ talk show, Dern explained that she lost at least a year and a half of work due to the episode. She also said, she was thankful for the “extraordinary experience and opportunity” of that part she played.
DeGeneres publicly came out on Time Magazine on April 14, 1997 (Yep, I’m Gay) and went on The Oprah Winfrey Show with her then-girlfriend, Anne Heche, on April 30, 1997.  
GLAAD cites this episode for giving space for shows such as Will and Grace, The L Word, and Ugly Betty and this episode has been ranked 46th by TVGuide as “100 Greatest Episodes of All Time”.
After the cancellation, DeGeneres began to work in stand-up. She briefly came back to situational comedy in The Ellen Show in 2001, where her character was explicitly lesbian from the start, before finding success as the host of her daytime talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Season Four Episodes Twenty-Two and Twenty-Three. You can watch the two part special here and here.  
You can watch more episodes on Ellen after coming out and dealing with her parents, boss, and her best friend.
On April 28, 2017 Ellen hosted a reunion episode on her daytime talk show and you can watch that here. ~lex lee.

Hollywood insiders say Oscars hosting gig isn’t worth the hassle
If some members of the Academy of Movement Footage Arts and Sciences — the group behind the Oscars — have their means, February’s ceremony received’t have a number. “Dump the host! Make the present two hours! Kill the opening quantity, minimize all the skits,” stated one. “That’s your scores ticket.” “It’s on the desk,” a second AMPAS member instructed The Put up. The uproar comes after comic Kevin Hart, 39, introduced he would not be hosting the 2019 Oscars in February after GLAAD (Homosexual and Lesbian Alliance In opposition to Defamation) and different LGBTQ supporters known as out homophobic and anti-gay jokes he had tweeted as just lately as 2011. Now, some Hollywood sources say the high-profile place is just not worth the potential danger to status. “We don’t encourage our shoppers to [host the Oscars] anymore,” stated one outstanding agent. “Each host will get picked aside by vultures. “The job’s turn into a lose-lose for everybody, and Hollywood’s lastly figured it out,” the agent added. “Large stars have tons to lose. New ones don’t get scores.” It’s not the first time the Academy Awards have been hit with controversy. In 2011, Eddie Murphy stepped down as host in solidarity with Brett Ratner, his producer for the present. Ratner, who final yr was additional tarnished in a #MeToo scandal wherein he was accused by six ladies of sexual assault, resigned from the Oscars simply months earlier than the ceremony, after he publicly joked “rehearsal is for f-gs” at a movie Q&A. (Ratner has denied the assault allegations.) One supervisor who represents many comedians predicts will probably be arduous to discover a Hart alternative who’s past reproach. “Comics are equal-opportunity [joke tellers]: Jews, blacks, homosexual, straight. Political correctness is just not humorous. It’s arduous to seek out somebody humorous and healthful.” A longtime TV producer agreed: “If [the Academy] casts somebody younger, they received’t have skeletons, however they received’t get scores. And anybody over 35 has one thing to cover.” An Academy member confided that “Hart is what [we’re] in search of: younger, black, humorous — and with 66 million Instagram followers. The Oscars have scores and variety to consider.” Hart initially refused to apologize for his previous tweets, saying in an Instagram video that he had addressed the matter earlier than and “I’m virtually 40 years previous. If you happen to don’t consider that folks change, develop, evolve as they become old, I don’t know what to inform you.” He added of the Oscars fiasco: “We’re feeding the Web trolls and we reward them.” (After resigning, Hart issued an announcement that learn partly, “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ group for my insensitive phrases from my previous.”) Already on a year-to-year decline, Oscars’ 2018 scores slipped by a precipitous 19 %. In October, the Academy tapped standard “Shakespeare in Love” producer Donna Gigliotti and veteran awards-show director Glenn Weiss with the particular aim of pumping up sagging scores. “There’s been sufficient Oscars controversy,” stated the first AMPAS member, referring to each the #TimesUp wave that led to the expulsion of Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski and Invoice Cosby from the Academy, in addition to the monumental flub of “La La Land” being mistakenly introduced as the Greatest Image winner in 2017, reasonably than precise champ “Moonlight.” Weiss and Gigliotti are seen as secure, sensible however enjoyable decisions: “That’s why they employed them.” A minimum of one supply at ABC, which airs the Oscars, believes the community ought to have extra enter into any new alternative of host. “Networks take into consideration issues like vetting,” an ABC lawyer instructed The Put up. “We should always have much more enter, however the Academy regularly shuts us out.” In the meantime, there may be more and more little purpose for stars to take the Oscar hosting gig. After helming the present in 2017, Jimmy Kimmel revealed he was paid simply $15,000. And celebrities together with James Franco, Anne Hathaway, Seth McFarlane, Neil Patrick Harris and Chris Rock have all been lambasted for his or her performances and sagging scores lately. Amongst those that have reportedly turned down the job: Oprah Winfrey, Jerry Seinfeld and Justin Timberlake. (To this point, Busy Phillips and Ricky Gervais have thrown their hats in the ring for 2019.)
