live piercings

This week we bade farewell to the gals who’ll go out into the world and live their lives without the eyes of adoring / disapproving fans following their every move – sort of like pushing about a dozen tattooed, pierced baby birds out of a nest.

The Emmy nominations were announced Thursday morning, and with the irrepressible Jane Lynch hosting this year's show we just know it’s going to be a great Emmy year. Kate Winslet, Jane Lynch, Sofia Vergara, Laura Linney, Tina Fey, Evan Rachel Wood, Archie Panjabi, Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth Moss and more earn Emmy nods.

Today friends and family remember a protector of Seattle street kids, on the 29th anniversary of her death.

The cast and creators of Glee took Comic-Con by storm this weekend and revealed more spoilers about the show’s upcoming fourth season.

Since Glee’s season finale there’s been plenty written about what may possibly be in store for one Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera) but there hasn’t been much to go on regarding her girlfriend Brittany S. Pierce’s (Heather Morris) storyline– that is until the Glee writers got to a panel at the summer Television Critics Association (TCA).

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. Well, we at SheWired have made an executive decision to just throw any of our pseudo-feminist caution to the wind and to just post our fave shot of the day, just because... Today’s shot will send your blood racing. True Blood’s sexy vampire queen, Evan Rachel Wood, shows she’s “Nobody’s Baby” in LA Times Magazine.

Am I the only one who is growing tired of lesbian fave Angelina Jolie? Have we gotten to that point where she's over-exposed and we are exhausted from hearing about her umpteen kids and perfect - or imperfect, depending on which tabloid you read - life with Brad Pitt? Prepare for a new onslaught of Angie news. This week the movie poster and trailer were released for her upcoming action film Salt, set to hit theaters next summer.

A beautiful story of pure friendship.

Usually when one plans to see Tegan and Sara in concert, it’s a common assumption that they’re usually accompanied by a sea of plaid, tattoos, and piercings singing along to every word. However last Sunday night, the iconic sounds of girl angst reverberated in the Hollywood Hills, playing for a different kind of crowd. Opening with the New Pornographers for Death Cab for Cutie at the Hollywood Bowl, the girl duo didn’t hesitate to tell the crowd that they were nervous to play at such an intimidating venue, but they held their own like a couple of pros.

Our cowboy president George W. Bush rode into the White House on a stolen horse wearing a shiny new pair of cowboy boots. Now he's fallen off the horse and I can’t think of a more public falling than to have a shoe hurled at your head by an Iraqi cameraman Muntadar al-Zaidi. Shoes – ya’ll. Not just one shoe -- but two shoes! Two size ten shoes.
