The musician, actress, and writer on career, identity, and her new memoir, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. 

This movie was already going to be epic, but now it's even beyond that!

Here’s a fun video for your Thursday! Portlandia luminaries Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen -- along with Mirah and Thao -- perform Salt –n- Pepa’s “Push It” for your aural – and visual—pleasure.Former Sleater-Kinney guitarist Brownstein’s and Saturday Night Live alumna Fred Armisen lovingly skewer the hipster haven that is Portland, Or. in their sketch comedy show Portlandia. But there is also Portandia: The Tour, an evening of live music and sketches, with lesbian musician Mirah and her current music project collaborator Thao Nguyen opening the show.

The singer and Portlandia star managed to pull together a beautiful ceremony, with the help of Amy Poehler.

How to navigate make-up with ease.

Who knew Martina Navratilova has such a hip(ster) sense of humor? The out tennis legend made a very funny guest turn on a recent episode ofPortlandia, appearing with the show’s resident brittle lesbians, Toni and Candace (played by bi Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen in dyke drag).

Strident feminists, arrogant cyclists, and pious foodies: those are some of the urban oafs that inhabit the rapid-fire sketches of IFC's Portlandia.

Twilight's Kristen Stewart plays Jett in a biopic about The Runaways.

Whenever we saw or read Chloe Sevigny’s reactions to Drew Droege’s infamous impersonations of her—where she’s depicted as a hipster snob of epic proportions (“Good evening, America, I’m Chloe Sevigny.”)—It felt like she really didn’t get the joke, or simply couldn’t laugh at herself. Well, maybe she learned her lesson, because, according to EW, the Boys Don’t Cry, Big Love, and If These Walls Could Talk 2 actress

Insert irony here.

We're not sure we can wait until next year...

Trust us - this is hot.

What's with the watermelon and the Union Jacks?

Art imitates life as Blanchett currently stars in the lesbian-themed Carol, set to premiere at Cannes.

Hetero weddings that are too gay get broken up by authorities, at least in the Portlandia universe.

We can not wait for this lesbian-themed movie to come out! 

Variety indeed with Cate's admission of relationships with women.
