Richard Chamberlain's 'Dr. Kildare' 1960s TV series coming to DVD from Warner Archive

Richard Chamberlain's iconic 1960s TV series, Dr. Kildare, is coming to home video.

From Warner Archive: 

DR. KILDARE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (1961-62) Richard Chamberlain and Raymond Massey don the surgical scrubs first made famous by the film team of Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore for the equally successful TV incarnation in the 1960s. Richard Chamberlain’s star ascended quickly, as the show swept him from relative unknown to full-on teen idol (in a show pointed squarely at adults, no less). The show was also blessed to have the talents of a young Jerrald Goldsmith on hand to pen the shows score. Kildare’s title theme, “Three Stars Will Shine Tonight”, became a monster hit on its own, sung by Mr. Chamberlain himself. Notable guests include Lee Marvin, Ellen Burstyn, Dorothy Malone, Joseph Cotten, Mary Astor, Margaret O’Brien and more! And as an added bonus, we’ve dug up a “lost” episode — “The Eleventh Hour,” the ORIGINAL, never-aired pilot for the Wendell Corey psychiatric drama, teaming Dr. Theodore Bassett up with Drs. Gillespie and Kildare to get to the bottom of what the devil is wrong with Ann Costigan (Vera Miles). All episodes have been newly remastered especially for this DVD premiere release. Initial quantities of this release will be traditionally replicated (pressed) in anticipation of high consumer demand.

A year ago, I interviewed Chamberlain, who publicly came out of the closet years after Dr. Kildare left the air.

“The general public didn’t know I was gay,” he told me. “People in the business did. Apart from a little gossip, they didn’t talk about it. It was great. They let us have our lives.”

Antigone Rising band member Kristen Ellis Henderson on Time cover kissing her wife

Last week, Kristen Ellis Henderson of the all-female band Antigone Rising appeared kissing her wife Sarah Kate on the cover of Time magazine, "Portraits of the Gay Marriage Revolution."

From Antigone Rising:

Kristen and Sarah Kate have an amazing story. A few years back, they were struggling to conceive  and after several attempts they ended up both getting pregnant on the SAME DAY! They recently released a book, Times Two, which details their story.

Kristen is also known for being in the all-female, New York based band Antigone Rising. Catapulted into the spotlight in 2005 with their Hear Music/Lava Records debut release  From the Ground Up, the band's follow up studio album , 23 Red (distributed through Joan Jett's Blackheart Records label - August 2, 2011) boldly claimed the ladies place as a rock/country force to be reckoned with. Antigone Rising's brand new single, "That Was The Whiskey," (co-written with Nashville song writer Lori McKenna), is already getting praise from critics as a foot stompin' country/rock mash up, perfectly marrying the band's ability to rock with their gift for writing undeniably catchy songs.

The band is currently finishing a new EP, due out later this year.

Magic Johnson's son talks about being gay (with Howard Bragman Gwissues video interview)

BY BETH HARRIS, AP SPORTS WRITER

LOS ANGELES -- The 20-year-old son of basketball great Magic Johnson is surprised by the public interest in his being gay, something that he revealed to his supportive family several years ago.

Earvin Johnson III, known as E.J., says he feels like he's coming out of the closet a second time and that he's "reveling" in the experience - even though news of his sexual orientation broke publicly sooner than he had planned.

In an interview posted Tuesday on the YouTube.com talk show "Gwissues," Johnson said that he didn't feel violated after TMZ recently revealed that he's gay.

"I always wanted to come into the spotlight," he said. "I always had dreams and plans of doing my own thing and creating my own image, so it came a little sooner than I thought it would but this is still something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience."
