Our latest letters page, where we chat about Ted 2's trailer, the lack of Yonderland, and getting a job here.
Our monthly letters page returns! This is our outmoded, outdated and yet thoroughly regular bit of the site where you write to us, and we reply. Who needs comments, right? Ahem.
Find details of how to contribute below. And in the meantime here's the new round-up of your correspondence...
Where's Yonderland?
Your site is often the only place on the internet for both [redacated] geeky news, reviews and an [redacted] community. So imagine my surprise when, on Tuesday morning, I failed to find a review on Sky 1's great Yonderland. Just wondering, do you guys watch the show and, if you do, what do you think of it?
Don't take this the wrong way, I still [more nice comments about website redacted, as we're still shy]!

Our letters page returns! Subjects include: double standards, comics, and a bit more spoiler chat...
Phew.
Our letters page had to take January off, due to us covering lots and lots of things. It's a rubbish excuse, but we've always tried to tell you the truth. But we're back! And as it turns out, we've got quite a bit to talk about...
Sexism And Double Standards
Dear Simon
I wrote to you recently regarding the sexist overtones in the review of Wolf Hall on your site. I see you are pulling the same double standards trick again with the Burt Reynolds article and accompanying picture.
Men are now becoming aware of these double standards in the media and Dog is missing a trick by ignoring this

Happy 32nd Birthday to out singer/songwriter Matt Morris! Did you know that Matt's dad is 80's country superstar Gary Morris? And that Gary had the first hit version of "Wind Beneath My Wings" back in 1983? And Gary and Crystal Gayle sang the theme to the soap Another World? And Gary starred in The Colbys as a blind singer signed to Dominique Deveraux's record label? Well, now you do. Speaking of singers surrounded by drama, Whitney Houston has voluntarily checked herself back into rehab. While Whitney is recovering, her classic "I Have Nothing" is in good hands, thanks to 14-year-old Jack Vidgen on Australia's Got Talent. (h/t Crawfish Po Boy). In ratings news, last night's Brothers & Sisters season finale was up 25%, while Celebrity Apprentice was down 23%. Sometimes there is justice in the world. Below you can see the latest webisode of Save the Date, the companion series to Setup Squad.

Happy Birthday to Pandora Boxx, who turns 39, and David Beckham, who is 36.
The Ali Forney Center in NYC will be sponsoring a community forum on homeless Glbt youth tomorrow, May 3rd, at 7 Pm Est at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. After Rachel Griffiths joked at an Australian awards show that, "I'm soon to be unemployed," Brothers & Sisters fans immediately thought the writing was on the wall for the show. But ABC insists that no decision has been made yet, and it may come down to the wire, when the network finally announces the fall schedule on May 16th. Lady Gaga has revealed the track list and back cover art for Born This Way. I guess a song titled "Highway Unicorn" was sort of inevitable.
Iris Rainer Dart is preparing a stage musical of her classic weepie novel Beaches. But the novel differs from the Bette Midler movie version,...
