Robbie Rogers confirms that he is single now. My colleague Ed Kennedy e-mailed me with “Does this mean I have a chance.” Please, Robbie fairly screams “snicks!” Or at least he will before I’m done with him.

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 … Charlie Williams.

Closing out our week with Charlie, in addition to his Broadway Bares appearances (above), Charlie made a huge splash just last week as the unexpected star of Peter Pan Live

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 #47 is “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You” by Heart. Ann and Nancy Wilson’s final top ten hit on the pop chart is a trashy pleasure that the band apparently hated, but how can you not love lyrics like “I am the flower, you are the seed. We walked in the garden, we planted a tree.” It spent two weeks at #2 in June 1990.
