Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.

But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.

We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

It's Cheyenne On Glee! Squeeeee!

I thought I'd start of this week's column with some fun new pics I found recently!

First, I've got the exclusive first look at Cheyenne Jackson's first appearance on Glee as Will Schuester's new rival Dustin Goulsby.

In case you don't remember, last month Glee creator Ryan Murphy told me that Jackson "...is going to sing. He is going to dance, of course. He is the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. He’s a complete villain. He wears all black. He’s a handsome, villain who will become very intertwined in Will’s life."

And we can't wait for Cheyenne's appearance on Tuesday's ep!

Speaking of things I can't wait for is new Torchwood miniseries (Ha! Whoever threw the rotten cabbage at me missed!) so to tide us over are two new pics I spotted of John Barrowman.

At the beginning of the new movie The Big Gay Musical, the film critic Michael Musto, playing himself, is watching a terrible play. He grows increasingly agitated by the slow pace until someone finally asks him if he needs something.

“Yes!” he declares. “I need a musical! A big gay musical!”

In this movie, now playing in limited release, that’s exactly what he gets.

The structure of the movie is a little unusual. After the prologue, we open, without explanation, on a rather extended musical and dance number from a preview performance of a stage play, Adam & Steve Just the Way God Made Em, which tells the story of the Bible from a decidedly “gay” perspective.

Afterwards, we meet the two gay leads of the play, Paul (Daniel Robinson), who wants nothing more than to settle down (but who is soon dumped by his jerk of a boyfriend), and...

"Though I initially was hired just to co-direct 'The Big Gay Musical,' I am thrilled to be taking on a producing role and assist in getting the film completed and distributed worldwide," said Embrem president and CEO Andreas, who is producing with Caruso, who also wrote the project.

Caruso will release the soundtrack for...
