Entertainment : Beauty & The Beast Got Gay!
Todrick Hall adapted a Disney Classic and changed its name to “Beauty and the Beat Boots”. In his latest video, Hall is featuring RuPaul, Lance Bass, Ross Matthews, Frankie Grande and a bunch of other YouTube sensations. The video also stars YouTube celebrity Colleen Ballinger (aka Miranda Sings) as Belle.
Throughout the video, she goes through WeHo getting insulted by all the drag queens who sing “she really is a basic fish Miss Belle.” Watch the hot muscle guys in the video as well….very sexy!
According to Entertainment Tonight, Hall’s next video will be “Titanic” inspired and will feature pop superstar Ariana Grande! I wish my Celine would be in the video. Todrick, if you read this, contact René and Céline, I’m sure they’d love to do it!
Stay tuned!
Watch the video after the jump!

And they wonder why the general public hates us. They constantly play into the typical stereotypes ruining for those of us that are normal.
joey: your comment why are u so dramatic? And why are u so homophobic? There’s drag queens and muscle queens in the community and they are “normal” too… Live and let live man!
Dave
why is gay entertainment so mediocre.. dont get me wrong, i love RDR, but that can’t be the only mitigating factor.
Too funny! Looking forward to seeing more.
Sorry…not impressed
This was awesome
I LOVED this I could not stop laughing.
No thanks.
Na, Joey’s right. Anytime someone makes something with gay people they just pick the worst representation. I read the description and thought “let’s see…drag queens, muscle boys, twinks and pretty faces all snapping and snatching wigs and acting ratchet” and viola! So very typical. Being gay is hard enough without constantly reinforcing these caricatures.
@Blog Perhaps you need a dictionary. Homophobic would imply unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality. I myself am homosexual but I do not let what I do in bed define me as a person. I am many things before I am gay. I am a man, a husband, a father, a business owner, a member of my community that just happens to be gay. As long as you continue to play into a stereotype of what it means to be homosexual you will continue to come face to face with those that are repulsed by it. Also, as long as the media chooses to show nothing but the stereotypical queer then the general public will have a hard time relating to those of us that proudly blend in and do not feel the need to play to some sad stereotype.
Also the need for you to label someone as a “queen” just shows how little you know of the community you claim to be a part of. Just as there are men in drag and men who spend a lot of time in the gym there are those of us that spend a lot of time raising a family and blending in.
I am not sure where in my comment you read the word hate or fear. It was simply an vocalization of my disappointment in the a-typical portrayal of homosexuals. So perhaps you should take your own advice and stop being so dramatic and while you are at it turn the blog into something that provokes thought instead of simply another method to promote products & people.
Joey: no time for drama like that man sorry. If someone wants to be a drag queen, I’m totally applaud him. If someone wants to be a dad and a business owner I do too. I just don’t like when people pretend that being a dad and business owner is BETTER than being a drag queen, that’s all. That’s why I say “live and let live”. Oh another thing, I don’t want to “blend in” like you say, why would we blend in? We are not like others necessarily.
Dave you can’t call someone dramatic for expressing an opinion that some people in the gay community feel, and then continue to say live and let live. That is super contradictory and shows that you aren’t practicing what you preach. Also calling someone homophobic because they don’t agree with you is silly. He wasn’t insulting the gay community but the constant promotion of a stereotype that fails to represent a lot of the LGBTQ community.
If you can’t take people expressing their opinions on an open forum unless they are agreeing with you then close the comments section, because I can guarantee that not everyone is going to agree with your posts in the future.
Just a word of advice.
Dear Izzy… I just expressed my opinion, thank you!
That’s what this blog is about. I have the right to disagree with him…that,s all…
I’m tired of all the BS about fems or queens or drag queens… Thety ARE part of the community. And it really bugs me when people say ” That’s why straight people don’t like us”
Well I could care less if they don’t like us. Too bad for them.
Videos and messages such as this one do a great job at keeping the need for an International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) alive and well.
Blog, “I don’t want to ‘blend in’ like you say, why would we blend in? We are not like others necessarily.” That’s the problem.
Many people now have NO issues with someone being gay. What they do have issues with is that person as an adult behaving like a loud, irresponsible, disruptive child. It a hell of a lot of gays would not be attention grabbing, disruptive, asses, they wouldn’t find a need to lay the “homophobic!” card in response to people not “stoking their I’M GAY egos” in return. This is the stereotype played out in the video here and repeatedly by “the Community” of what being gay is. Many many gays are quite different than that model. They don’t make “ME! ME! ME!” videos. They don’t have to. People respect them for what they are. Decent people.
Blend in? No. Just respect other people as much, if not more, than you demand to be respected. Recognize you SHARE the world with others, you don’t own it or have any more rights to be free about whatever you want to be free about wherever and whenever your want to just because you’re gay.
Be gay, be a fem, be a queen. All’s good. But that does not mean the moment you enter a room that everyone has to put up with you being loud, rude, disruptive, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, mostly naked, and openly opinionated about everything. Stop waving the “I’M GAY!!! I’M SPECIAL” flag.
Just be a human.
Suck it that you are no better, no worse, no more special than anyone else. Just be equal.
Dave, you can express your opinion all you would like. Just don’t be insulting. Calling a fellow gay homophobic because he doesn’t agree with you is not helping the cause. You preach all of this acceptance but you discredit that when you call your gay brethren homophobic. We have enough people insulting us we don’t need it to come from within the community. He, like many of us, would like there to be a more accurate depiction of the gay community because there is such a wide spectrum of gays.
@Blog
I never said I was “better” you are reading something into what was said that is not there. As Izzy more eloquently put it in his reply I was expressing my point of view before you felt the need to label me as a homophone. As far as the blend in part, you are sorely mistaken and telling yourself a lie if you say you do not want to blend in. Weather you are a Drag Queen or whatever everyone is trying to blend in and be accepted it is part of the human condition.
Booring. Absolutely booring
The video was funny and silly at the same time. They over did the queer ness.
Express yourself don’t repress yourself!
While this had cameos from some of my favs, just…no. And why is Frankie grande famous again? Overall, it was quite boring, and I wish I hadn’t wasted my time.
I think most of you missed the point of the video entirely. The theme isn’t supporting these stereotypes–it’s satirizing them, but with an edge from the gay community itself. The intent isn’t to perpetuate these indulgent interpretations of our community, it’s to expose the fact that we are in on the joke of the mainstream’s false all-encompassing definition of the gay and lesbian dynamic stereotypes. Toddrick has a unique voice when it comes to these type of themes. He’s implanted and embraced by the community, but is turning the mirror towards those in our culture that don’t emote authenticity in who they are–those that just absorb the mainstream interpretations of our community and make themselves in those images instead of seeking uniqueness of self. This is what pushes our culture two steps back after every step forward: those who consume culture they are exposed to versus those who seek out cultures beyond their familiarity and find their place in the world.
Bottom line: the video wasn’t intentionally campy. It was sharply satiristic of the themes it contained.
Was only able to make it through a few scenes and I turned it off. Once again the gay community reaches for the lowest common denominator and says “oh well since its gay we must all say its good” CRAP! This vid puts parody to shame. Its embarrassing. I would never show it to my straight friends. In fact I wont show it to my gay ones either
