YouTube Gold: Liquored & Laquered Ladies of Sordid

We are starting a new category here at Sordid Lives the Blog, "YouTube Gold". We'll feature our best youtube.com finds here! Let's lose our sordid youtube gold virginity!

Some "crazy yet loyal" fan created this video gem from clips from the movie set to Mookie's Mix of "Southern Culture on the Skids". I have no idea what that is, but the video is classic!

Katherine Bailess Finds Herself a Sordid Home

Okay, so it's in the nut house, but how happy am I that Kat Bailess is in Sordid Lives: The Series!!!!


You may remember her from the now cult-like film from the American Idol franchise From Justin to Kelly which was a (brokendown) vehicle for then -new-artist-now-massive-pop star Kelly Clarkson and Tony Award Winner and Dreamgirl Anika Noni Rose.
Kat Bailess now joins the prestigious ranks that make up Sordid Lives: The Series. I wonder what mister Shores has in store for us with this one. God, I hope she's a lesbian!

Kat was Collen, the tumbling newscaster in Bring it On Again!, she was Erica Marsh on One Tree Hill, Wendy in The Loop, and Stephanie in the Gilmore Girls.

Now that Sharron Alexis has the hot starlett covered for the West Coast of Sordid Lives, Kat Bailess has the sexy sweet Southern belle covered in the Texas World. They compliment each other perfectly.

A Shaved and Sordid Stroll on Robertson

Sordid Lives: The Series star Jason Dottley was seen out today with an incredibly sexy buzz cut. His super sexy(and straight, so eat your heart out ladies!) Sordid Lives co-star Ted Detwiler who plays his blooming love interest and a very pretty younger girl who isn't named on the photo server were with him. I'm assuming she must be one of Jason' step daughters... if you know, write in and let us know!

Ann, Del, Jason and Calpernia Addams in Weho

Some Sordid Lives spies spotted Ann Walker, Del Shores and Jason Dottley at bar Eleven in West Hollywood last night. They were seen with Calpernia Addams who must be very good friends with the crew. Look here at a youtube.com video Calpernia posted about her time with the Sordid crew in Atlanta for gay pride.

Sordid Lives' Jason Dottley Steams in Episode 4 Teaser!

I'm loving the new Ty. More and more and more. So delicious. Enjoy this Episode 4 preview... my GOD!!!!!!! Sordid Lives: the Series Episode 4 Wednesday at 10pm

Sordid! Sordid! Sordid! 1st 3 EPS Tonight On LOGO!

Okay, no excuse for missing any episodes. TONIGHT there is a triple Sordid Lives: The Series night on LOGO of the first three episodes at 7:30, 8:00 & 8:30PM (EST).

Sharron Wins By a Sordid Land Slide

With an amazing 422 votes (46%) Sharron Alexis easily won our last poll. Coming in a close, relative, second is the fabulous Ann Walker with over 350 votes!

She may have only had a few pops in the movie, but her role is so identifiable with all gay men and hags around the globe. Nagging her closeted boyfriend Ty to be honest with her as to why they broke up acts as a catalyst for Ty to come out. In the series, we see her role is greatly enlarged. She's in nearly episode according to imdb.com (the industry bible) and it appears that she has blossomed into a totally sexy starlett.

With the key to Ty's apartment still lingering around her neck, bedazzled no less, Sara Kaufman is bound and determined to get her man back! Will she have any luck? We doubt it. Maybe she'll find straight love on Sordid, maybe she'll go lezzi (hey that lezzie at the theatre in Ty's world would make a fun option0 or she'll continue to evolve into one of Ty's best friends, as most hags become.

Regardless, congratulations Sharron Alexis! You are the winner of our "Which Returning Lady Looks Best" poll!

For those of you wanting a good laugh, check out this youtube video some fan made to the song "Sara Kaufman" had on the soundtrack to Sordid Lives the movie, "Please Don't Be Gay". It's been viewed over 10,000 times on youtube.com. Let's get that number up!

Sordid Lives Jason Dottley Gets Naked on YouTube!

This is hysterically hot and an instant classic:

I found this video and the below article at Quirky San Francisco:

What a surprise when some of the cast went on stage at the Castro Theater, here in San Francisco, and Jason Dottley stole the show by pulling his pants down in front of 1000 or so, mostly male audience at the premier of the new TV version of Sordid Lives. It was totally unexpected and you can tell, I nearly missed it.

I hope he doesn't regret it? And, I'm sure it won't hurt the ratings one bit. It's a very funny show and well worth watching.

Check the link (below), there's a shot of him with his shirt off. That boy just loves to get naked, I guess?

D-Day Updates

It appears that Sharron Alexis has taken an very strong lead in our poll.  

I never thought such a face-off would happen and I surely hope that all the ladies involved know that this was a competition of LOVE and that they all are winners.  It's as if they are competing to place from 9.5 to 10.0 on a scale of 1 - 10.  They all are gorgeous.

In that, Sarah Hunley (Juanita) was put in the poll as a joke, she's not supposed to be "purty",  and to answer one of your blog questions, Sissy was not included because we didn't feel like her look evolved any.  She's a bit of classic. Sissy will look exactly the same in 10 more years, so we left her out.

Ann Walker left a beautiful comment on the last post about Sharron Alexis.  You can tell that the cast really loves one another and that the fun in this was understood by all.

Our next poll -- coming up tonight after the show airs! -- will not be an actor vs actor poll.   But it's a firecracker, so come back.

Also today expect a lot of posting as tonight is THE night for our 3rd new episode of Sordid Lives: The Series.

SORDID LIVES IN TIMES SQUARE

the best thing ever... from Del Shores' myspace! (visit for the others)
There's a video billboard for Sordid Lives in Times Square.

The Poll Proves: Once You Pop, You Can't Stop

Our second poll has closed and as the results show, 75% of all voters have watched the show more than once! More impressively over 40% have watched it 4 or more times!!

I'm assuming the votes for zero must be from people who can't get Logo. There's good news on that front according to Del Shores myspace; Sordid Lives: The Series will be available on iTunes in a few weeks!

Remember to visit Logoonline.com's Sordid Lives: The Series pages as online traffic is one of Logo's only ways of tracking a show's success.

New Rule: I will always verify my infomation

I was greatly mis-informed and heartbroken over news that Logo has not ordered Season 2 -- yet. I promise to always verify my info as Mr. Shores always replies to my myspace messages. If I can't get a response, I'll mark things "Rumor" if they are not verified.

In the meantime, everyone write logo!!!!!

The Buxom Bodaciously Brilliant Bonnie Bedelia

Bonnie Bedelia's Back with a Die Hard Tongue and a Heart Like a Wheel

Sordid Lives: The Series has one helluva antagonist in Bonnie Bedelia's Latrelle Williamson. In the middle of everything, and never in a good way, Latrelle is the poster childress for hypocrisy. Of course, Sissy doesn't trail far behind in that list. The extraordinary talent that Bonnie Bedelia has that allows her portrayal to go beyond the work of most actresses equally decorated (who could forget Bonnie's Golden Globe-nominated work in "Heart Like A Wheel" or "Presumed Innocent"?) is her full-to-core style of acting, rather living on camera. She can say a million insults in one glance up from her purse, she can warm your heart when she glistens and smiles on the phone with her son Ty, she can make you laugh with one swish of her hands and constantly grabbing those damn pearls, but mostly she gives up boundaries and lets the audience feel with her every breath that she takes.
She's one "pill poppin bitch" who needs to be added to the "Emmy's for Sordid Lives: The Series" list.
Welcome back to San Angelo, Bonnie!  WE LOVE YOU!

Look what we've dragged off google! Smokin hot! But not the Latrelle we know.
