United States of Tara, Pixar Films and Where Are All The Lesbians?

This week on Diff'rent Strokes... we're lookin' for some lady love.

TV:



Season two of United States of Tara has just started, we're sending Jade in to check out the mess and mayhem. The show follows a mother with dissociative identity disorder who morphs into one of her many personalities when she's stressed.

FLASHBACK:



Toy Story 3 opened last week to the biggest first day sales ever made by an animated movie. Tonight Dave steps back in time to reminisce on all the wonderful Pixar films that have come before and explain why you're never too old for "kids animated films".

CULTURE:



Tonight Jade is asking, "where are all the lesbians?" Think Farmer Wants A Wife except the protagonist is a socially awkward media-loving lesbian. Join us tonight as we wax lyrical about the lesbian dating scene.

Gay Clubbing, Geocaching and Christina Aguilera

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

CULTURE:



Over the last few months, Jade has been submerging herself into the gay clubbing scene much to everyone's surprise. What's happening to our self-confessed socially awkward geek? Jade shares her observations on the scene and talk about Diff'rent Strokes' urge to merge on the dance floor.

ONLINE:



Grab your GPS and let's go on a worldwide treasure hunt! Dave checks out what geocaching is all about. Think of it as a "game of hi-tech hide and seek" where you punch in coordinates on your GPS to find items hidden by other players all over the world.

Kathy Griffin, This Is Why You're Fat and Sleigh Bells

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

TV:



Jade watching reality TV? Is this a sign of the apocalypse? This week our resident TV geek switches on to Kathy Griffin's My Life On The D-List. Foremost known as a comedian and popular gay rights activist, Griffin has enjoyed a long run with this reality TV show which has featured appearances from the likes of Bette Midler, Jane Lynch and even Paris Hilton.

ONLINE:



This Is Why You're Fat is that guilty indulgence you don't want to stomache. This popular American blog is home to the fattiest, most calorie-escalating food created on this planet. It's amazing to see how much deep-fried meat and cream people can handle.

MUSIC:



We're reviewing the debut album by alternative punk band Sleigh Bells tonight. Treats has been gathering rave reviews ever since it dropped last month. Jade checks out what all the fuss is about.
