In ratings news, How To get Away With Murder is now the highest rated non-football program on Thursday TV, but once again … we won’t even discuss Gracepoint

EW talks to Ryan Murphy about what to expect on Freak Show, including Matt Bomer, and the probability that Neil Patrick Harris will appear at one point.

Speaking of NPH, he tells Slate that you can, indeed, see his penis in Gone Girl: “Had I been able to film my scene in a nice steamy, warm shower, perhaps there would’ve been more to talk about,” he said. “But in my particular circumstance there was a lot of blood flowing…elsewhere.”

Sadly, we won’t see Russell Tovey bare all anytime soon. “I’m saving it because I know that the day I show my kn*b it’ll just be screen-grabbed, Vined and Tumblred everywhere.” I’m insulted. Does he really think we’re that shallow? He continues “That may seem egotistical but my ass is everywhere! I get retweeted pictures of it back to me, so lovely, great, thank you for that.” Oh well, your ass … sure … but I promise if you do frontal I won’t refresh Tumbl every five seconds waiting to see it.

And here’s The Weekly ShoutOUT™. Each week we’re going to focus on one out athlete/performer and feature a daily pic and career timeline. We’ll be showcasing the big names, but also the lesser-known gay celebs who deserve more recognition. This week we give a ShoutOUT to … Patrick Breen.

Closing out our week with Patrick, we have to mention one of his greatest roles, as “Cuddlebum” on Will & Grace. Below you can see Episode One of his web series with Willie Garson, Whole Day Down

We covered the 90′s once before, so let’s try it again … with the 100 Greatest Top Ten Hits By 90′s Female Artists. There are only two rules: They all hit the Billboard Pop Top Ten, and they’re all from solo female artists or groups with female lead vocalists. Sure, you’ll hear the expected “Justify My Love” and “My Heart Will Go On,” but you’ll also hear songs I’m sure you haven’t thought of since the 90′s.

Ay #91 is “Hands” by Jewel. The first Jewel song on the list was the first single from her second album Spirit, and her final top ten hit on the pop chart, peaking at #6 in January 1999. A remix of the song received massive airplay right after 9/11.
