She's gone gay on film twice, stumped for Obama, and held her own with Bill Maher. Now Kerry Washington tackles her toughest role to date: as a transsexual, heroin-addicted prostitute in Life Is Hot in Cracktown.

It’s been a good year for Scandal star Kerry Washington. Not only is she a master thespian who once played lesbian in Spike Lee’s She Hate Me but she’s a total brainy type who delivered a thoughtful, eloquent speech at the Democratic National Convention this summer. And, she’s jaw-droppingly hot on the cover of Uptown magazine.

Lately Kerry Washington has been making a splash as Olivia Pope, the fierce fixer of all things down-and-dirty in Washington politics on ABC’s Scandal, but next up she’s got the female lead in bad boy director Quentin Tarantino’s re-imagining on the Spaghetti Western in Django Unchained. The first posters of Washington in western garb have dropped and we’re already thinking she’s worth the price of admission alone.

Kerry Washington is married and pregnant now, but there were some lesbian rumors about her.

Scandal's Kerry Washington is pretty much perfection personified. Without further ado, here's her Vanity Fair cover in full!

The stunning Kerry Washington appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show this week to promote her new movie Peeples, but Ellen had a little confession to make – that she and Portia de Rossi are addicted to Kerry’s hit show Scandal.

They adore each other about as much as we adore both of them.

It was girl power Saturday on SNL this weekend!

We can’t wait to watch the all new Charlie’s Angels, 60s-set Pan Am starring Christina Ricci, Good Christian Belles starring Leslie Bibb, Kristin Chenoweth, and Annie Potts. And that’s just for starters!

Long-time activist David Mixner compiled a list of the "Twenty Most Powerful Lesbians in American Politics." A Topping the list is Rachel Maddow. Her groundbreaking MSNBC show has garnered the watchful eye of liberals and conservatives alike. Also on the list: Pam Spaulding from Pam's House Blend, Mayor Annise Parker, Urvashi Vaid, Kate Kendall  Robin McGeehee, Kerry Eleveld, the Advocate's Washington correspondent.

If you’re looking for Madea (Tyler Perry in front of the camera in drag), or Black-faced versions of Sex in the City or He’s Just Not That Into You, then Mr. Perry’s adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s 1975 womanist choreopoem For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf will gravely disappoint you. Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington, Whoopi Goldberg, and Macy Gray star. 

Within minutes of the 2013 Emmy nominee announcements the pundits were alternately praising and bemoaning the Emmy voters’ choices. Who knows what goes through the minds of an Emmy voter who doesn’t find Monica Potter’s Parenthood performance nuanced or moving enough to put her in the running, or why Julianna Margulies – the absolute anchor for The Good Wife – was snubbed. With all due reverence to absolutely worthy nominees like Kerry Washington, Amy Poehler, Laura Dern, Sarah Paulson, and many more… we thought we’d imagine what the Emmy nominees would look like if we were doing the voting.

There is a moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being nothing lesbian about it and often there being no redeeming value. VF’s latest issue features the women of television, and on the cover, between the sheets are The Good Wife’s Julianna Margulies, Homeland’s Claire Danes, Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara and Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery. Bones’ Emily Deschanel, The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi, Revenge’s Emily Van Camp, Shameless’ Emmy Rossum, Scandal’s Kerry Washington, Two Broke Girls Kat Dennings and Hawaii Five-O’s Grace Park.

So many amazing women on the red carpet...

If you're not watching Scandal, you're missing out on some of the wildest TV out there!
