Mark Lawson's rendition of "Anthem" from Chess elicited a palpable reaction when he took stage at BC/EFA's ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway two years ago. Lawson's upper torso on One Life to Live is legendary. It is, therefore, easy to ignore other talents therein. However, his beautiful voice blessed the audience that evening. One of his co-stars, Farah Fath had this to say in a recent interview: He is really intense, and I like to work with actors who take their work seriously. He is a true actor’s actor. He gets in there and finds the rawest place he can go. He does not care if it’s a big scene or small scene. He is committed. Mark was on contract from the beginning, but that does not really mean anything. I think they were really impressed with him, and he works really hard, does his homework, and I respect that. Lawson has fans in other cast members, among them Ilene Kristen who is no slouch in recognizing true talent. It is our good fortune to have the exceptional Mr. Lawson with us once again May 11th at Prohibition for Love Out Loud VI. His legion of fans will be very happy about that as well.
There was a time when the Gossip Forum on Datalounge was a particularly entertaining cyberspace, much like a funny Joan Rivers routine. In the last two years it has become painful to read some of the posts there. There is, however, one rather entertaining thread that has been kept alive off and on since February, it is entitled: What gossip-related things do you actually know from first hand experience (here are some edited entries)… Dani el Travanti is still known as Miss Hoo-hoo by members of the Hill Street Blues crew. Kevin Bacon is totally straight, sweet, and has the thinnest body west of Biafra. Robert Blake is guilty. Paul Newman has had his share of men. His wife has had her share of women. … Keanu Reeves is great in bed--with anyone. …I dated Craig Sheffer once (now on One Tree Hill). He talked alot about how spiritually unenlightened Sam Champion was... Craig had some interesting beliefs about how DNA double helixes in humans were mutating in a way that would allow us to c...
... love goes where our rosemary goes, therefore, we're giving you a recipe and some male flesh anyway. Rosemary is that herb powerful enough to protect against bad times. Among its magical uses, beyond powerful protection, the departed gay wiccan, Scott Cunningham tells us this about rosemary: "... it has long been used in love and lust incenses and other mixtures ... the powdered leaves wrapped in linen cloth and bound to the right arm dispel depression and make the emotions light and merry." Looks like the gentlemen are somewhat light and merry. They are Mike Betts and Rick Wolfmier from a 1980 pictorial. Those who know good food also know this useful herb. Here follows a warm weather treat. Rosemary Orange Salad Oranges, 4 navel, peeled and sectioned Red Onion, small, thin slices Rosemary, one spoonful, minced Rosemary sprigs for garnish Olives, pitted and sliced (cerignole and kalamatas) salt, pepper Olive Oil Balsamic Vinegar and/or Lemon Lime juice 1.Toss the ingr...

Barak most recently appeared in a fashion story in the February issue of Out , titled "New York's Finest," photographed by Marcelo Krasilcic (pictured left). The former Israeli military trainer was outed in 2007 by New York Post’s "Page Six" while working at the Israeli consulate, the ensuing scandal caused him to resign.
