Is there such a thing as too much concentrated gayness happening in one spot? That’s the scientific experiment the Sex and the City sequel is planning when it hits theaters next year and Liza Minnelli makes a cameo. At a gay wedding scene. Performing Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” If it sounds like a crazy rumor, it’s not. Liza loves making an entrance – and this sounds like one for the record books. And Minnelli isn’t the only planned cameo. Apparently Miley Cyrus is going to show up, too, but doing what? No one seems to know just yet. Maybe she’s going to play Big’s long-lost love child or an arch-nemesis competing for young men with Samantha. And of course, as more insane news leaks about 2010’s queerest film event, you’ll be kept in the loop here. Romeo is waiting for reports of a fantasy sequence featuring ultimate fighter/“Dancing With the Stars” contestant Chuck Liddell.

Cheyenne Jackson may be Broadway’s reigning it-boy, but he’s made the leap to the big screen before in United 93 and to TV with guest spots on “The Mentalist” and “Ugly Betty’. So it was just a matter of time before people who don’t have matinee tickets to Xanadu found out about the talented actor, and it looks like that time may be now. Word is that Jackson is about to take on a role at 30 Rock, bringing that show’s total number of ensemble players into what may now be the triple digits. No information about his character, how long he’ll be around, when he’ll surface – because just when you think you’ve seen the last of Liz Lemon’s pager-salesman ex, even he pops up again – or when his episodes will hit your TiVo, but he’s reported to be shooting now, so hold tight.

Attention gay nerds who never got over their fixation with the canceled sci-fi series Firefly and its subsequent film Serenity (Romeo attended Comic-Con once, so he knows this isn’t a made-up demographic): Sean Maher is about to play gay in the film Timing. The indie co-stars another sci-fi leading man, Eureka’s Colin Ferguson, and both actors have gay projects on their resumes already, as Maher was featured in the TV movie Wedding Wars and Ferguson appeared in More Tales of the City. The drama is set to shoot in early 2010, and the plot concerns two men whose relationship is tested when one of them discovers he has a teenage son he never knew. Sounds heavy – wonder if they work it out?

The idea of a stage musical version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory isn’t so far-fetched when you remember that even Roald Dahl’s original book featured morals-heavy song lyrics sung by the Oompa Loompas after each naughty child’s retribution took effect. And the everlasting gobstopper-like popularity of the various film versions more or less demanded a new incarnation. So now comes the Broadway musical, in development with Warner Bros., director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman (Hairspray). No word yet on how many, if any, of the original songs from the book or first film starring Gene Wilder will be used – though Shaiman and Whitman’s songs are always witty fun – or about casting. But wouldn’t it be cool to see a singing, dancing Johnny Depp hit the Broadway stage?

Romeo’s still waiting for the long-delayed homo romantic comedy I Love You, Philip Morris to finally open in U.S. theaters, but Ewan McGregor (who plays Jim Carrey’s jailhouse beau in that film) has already lined up a role in yet another gay-themed movie. He’ll play a son who gets a double-whammy of news from dad – not only is the patriarch dying of cancer, he’s also coming out of the closet – in Beginners, a new movie from Thumbsucker director Mike Mills. Christopher Plummer, about as far away from The Sound of Music as you can get, will play the papa; no word yet as to who’s going to play daddy’s young boyfriend. McGregor, you’ll recall, has already played queer (and often-undressed) characters in The Pillow Book and Velvet Goldmine. Maybe finally playing the straight guy in a gay film is his idea of a “stretch.”

The timing couldn’t be better for a musical that pokes fun at corporate incompetence, so if you need a silver lining for the current economic crisis, put this in your checkbook – Daniel Radcliffe is considering returning to Broadway in a revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Gay producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are putting together a workshop performance in December to see if Business can live again. The show originally opened in 1962 with Robert Morse in the lead – appropriately, Morse is now playing a Kennedy-era big-bizzer on Mad Men – and was revived in 1995 with Matthew Broderick and a pre–“Will & Grace” Megan Mullally. If Radcliffe has the magic to make this new version fly, it’ll show New York audiences that he’s got more arrows in his quiver, as it were, than his super-serious (and full-frontal flashing) role in Equus.

Attention everybody who has no idea what Summer Heights High was (aka most of you) and don’t have any cool friends to tell you about the latest cult-cable comedy shows: Chris Lilley, hilarious Australian creator of that HBO series in which he played multiple characters (one of them gay), is coming back to the cable channel for _Angry Boys_. Much like SHH, Lilley will create and star as multiple characters, all of whom will explore, in mockumentary style, the complicated issue of what it’s like to be male in the 21st century. In other words: more gayness is pretty much a lock. The show is shooting now, so expect it sometime in 2010. That gives you plenty of time to catch up on the other funniest shows on TV you haven’t been watching, like Summer Heights, The Mighty Boosh, Flight of the Conchords and Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! to name a few of Romeo’s favorites.

As any fan of Showgirls will tell you, it’s the greatest film ever made featuring a conversation between two adult women about the great taste of “doggie chow.” And while original director Paul Verhoeven once imagined a sequel to the film following Nomi Malone’s even more depraved adventures in Los Angeles, it never came to pass. But now some other people from “different places” have decided that the world has waited too long to know the fate of its doomed cast. Currently called Showgirls: Story of Hope, this German-produced sequel will ostensibly center on the character of Hope (played in the original, and hopefully in this one, too, by Rena Riffel), the good girl gone even worse than Nomi. She apparently dies of a cocaine overdose, causing her brother to seek revenge. Revenge on what, exactly, is sort of up in the air right now. But if there’s a scene of some guy punching a pile of cocaine in the face then it’s going to be amazing.
