Aries - A new personal project takes off, and your idea finally makes enough money that you can work less at your primary job. Don’t let your love interest control your life and thoughts. Enjoy your life: You’ve got a lot to of-

fer! Treat yourself for the holidays to a getaway trip. You deserve it! 7, 21, 45, 47, 55, 60

Taurus - The new moon in Pisces puts you in the holi-day spirit. It will bring you many invitations to parties, dinners and gatherings. You will increase your joy when you do something to help those who have less. A great surprise is in your future that will take you on a trip you have dreamed of. 2, 10, 14, 26, 33, 49

Gemini - With the moon and Pisces lighting your family zone, you will enjoy the holiday season more than ever. A new project idea will impress higher-ups and provide money to take a great vacation in

the summer. A family member needs your help to resolve an is-sue. It will also resolve an issue you have. 1, 9, 12, 27, 31, 44

Cancer - It is time to have a family Christmas gathering; it will be a great opportunity to get close. Important job matters are resolved in your favor. Along with this comes a promotion and increase in your salary. This holiday season is about the company you are around more than the gifts you buy. 4, 10, 11, 28, 36, 40

Leo - The moon helps you make some decisions about changing how you celebrated the past holi-days and making this one more joyous for you. Your work effort puts you on the fast track to get your business plans into action. Plans for your future get

you in the mood for romance, and many opportunities will present themselves. A move is in your near future. 5, 11, 12, 17, 29, 33

Virgo - Mars is in your credit zone. This boosts your finances and helps you keep your debt in check, even allowing you to splurge on gifts for those close to you. The Pisces moon sends your love life soaring. This holiday season is carefree and relaxing. A work mat-ter ends in an increase in your paycheck; this allows you to plan for a long-awaited getaway. 6, 7, 15, 45, 50, 60

Libra - The moon in your family sector puts you on the way to a happy and joyous holiday season. Your work has been extremely stressful. This will ease up as the holidays approach. There may be a bonus for you in the near future. It’s time to relax and enjoy this

time of year. 1, 9, 13, 31, 49, 59

Scorpio - Whether you go out or stay in, the holidays are going to be stressful but filled with happy times and joy for being together with family and friends. Your profes-sional life picks up, and you are noticed for your can-do attitude. Don’t worry about others; concentrate on yourself. Buy a ticket for a game of chance. Your good-luck zone is on fire. Relax and enjoy who’s around you. 8, 11, 15, 30, 40, 50

Sagittarius - The moon is in your home zone, which makes you want to be at home and around loved ones for the holidays. The stress from work has been

weighing on your mind; it will be resolved in the near future. A family member is having a stressful year. Be there for them. Romance heats up as the holiday approaches. 1, 13, 21, 33, 39, 50

Capricorn - You will grow closer to family as Mars is in your home sector. Family members will help you com-plete a project that has been unfinished, and it will make the holidays special. A friend comes to you about hav-ing a holiday party. Be sure you don’t get too involved, but do help. Romance is a priority this time of year; make sure you’re open for this. 9, 10, 22, 34, 45, 49

Pisces - The planets are making you energized about the holidays, but save some of that energy to get yourself into shape. The stars are putting you in the mood to make health changes. Romance is on your mind with all the festivities; relax and it will happen. Time to have a get together for loved ones. 11, 15, 24, 36, 41, 50

Aquarius - The moon is in your health zone. This tells you to be careful around the holidays; do not overdo it. While a coworker tests your patience, be patient with them as the holidays are very stressful for everyone. A surprise present will put a smile on your face for a long

time. A friend wants more than friendship; take some time before you decide. 9, 11, 13, 23, 35, 47

You have done so much for the LGBT community and youth. What prompted you

to investigate the homeless situation plaguing these poor children? How did you first become aware? They are not poor children - they are resilient and strong, but have been dealt a hard set of circumstances in life that we need to support them in overcoming. I learned that first hand about seven years ago when I met a group of young people on the Christopher Street Pier who were kicked out of their homes because they were gay or transgender. They shared their stories with me, and as a mom, I cannot understand how any parent can turn their kid away from their home. While they shared with me how they

became homeless, they also shared with me what made them so incredible. Even though life had pushed them down, they were pushing forward and being their true selves. I made a commitment then and there to do what I could to help. How can Get Out!’s readers become involved, spread the word and educate the public? Join the True Colors Fund and visit our website at truecolorsfund.org to learn more about LGBT youth homelessness and for ways that you can get involved. You must be so overwhelmingly proud of Kinky Boots! When you were writing the score for the musical, what influenced or inspired you to write song after song, each so different

in genre? I wanted to make sure that everyone who came to the show could relate to someone standing on the stage. Kinky Boots tells the story about acceptance and redemption, and the way for the story really to come to life via the songs, and to give voice to all different kinds of people, I had to write in different genres. While you were composing Kinky Boots, did you ever imagine that it would become the biggest hit on Broadway and win six Tony Awards, including best score? I’m very excited by that. I think Kinky Boots is so successful because you walk out of the show feeling good. It’s a story I think everyone can relate to. It’s a story of accepting someone

CYNDI LAUPER Celebrating Her TRUE COLORS in ‘Home for the Holidays’ Benefit Concert

for who they are and how that not only empowers the person they accept, but it empowers the person doing the accepting too. Did you ever stop and say, ”OMG, this is such a huge project I’ve undertaken!”? With every project! But I am always up for a good challenge. If you weren’t famous, what would you be doing? I have no idea. Before I had a record deal, and before I found steady work in music, I just got fired from every job. So it’s a good job I can sing and write songs! What is your favorite thing about humanity? That when we come together to fix an injustice, we can change the world.

You are a new addition to a box of 64 crayons. What is your True Color? Rainbow, of course! Is there any special way that you would like to promote or express about your concert on December 6, Home for the Holidays? It is a great night of music and comedy, all in support of the True Colors Fund’s work to help LGBT youth experiencing homelessness who need us to stand with them. So, come and join the party with me and so many incredible artists like 50 Cent,

Rob Thomas, Natalie Maines, Sufjan Stevens, Salt-n-Pepa and so many more at the Beacon Theatre on December 6. Also, you do not want to miss our co-hosts Rosie

O’Donnell and Laverne Cox! What: Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays When: Dec. 6, 2014 Where: Beacon Theatre, NYC

Buy “Playlist: The Very Best of Cyndi Lauper” on Amazon!

ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6 AT THE BEACON THEATER IN NYC, CYNDI LAUPER AND FRIENDS WILL BE PERFORMING A BENEFIT CONCERT TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR LGBT YOUTH HOMELESSNESS. SOME OF THE GUESTS INCLUDE 50 CENT, NATALIE MAINES, PATTY GRIFFIN, SALT-N-PEPA, ROSIE O’DONNELL AND LAVERNE COX. LAUPER IS AN ADVOCATE, GRAMMY, EMMY AND TONY WINNER AS WELL AS THE CO-FOUNDER OF THE TRUE COLORS FUND, AN ORGANIZATION DEVOTED TO BRINGING AN END

TO LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER YOUTH HOMELESSNESS. THIS WILL BE LAUPER’S FOURTH YEAR DOING THE CONCERT. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE NET PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE TRUE COLORS FUND.

IN BETWEEN HER EXTREMELY BUSY LIFE, LAUPER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT THE CONCERT AND KINKY BOOTS AS WELL.

KRISTIN CHENOWETHGLITTERING STAR OF STAGE AND

SCREEN, THE BUBBLY, EFFERVESCENT AND PERKY KRISTIN CHENOWETH (YOU ALL

KNOW HER FROM HER PORTRAYAL OF GLINDA IN WICKED), IS RELEASING HER VERY FIRST EVER LIVE-RECORDED ALBUM TITLED “COMING HOME.” THE ALBUM WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION ON PBS TELEVISION ON NOVEMBER 28. The voice emanating from her tiny 4’11” frame clearly rings through the heavens as one of this century’s most cherished and enjoyed. Her role in standing up for gay rights and marriage makes her no stranger to gay iconic representation, despite the fact of her Christian upbringing. According to “The New York Times,” Chenoweth “assured her theatre fans that she supports gay rights,” which caused her to be disinvited from performing at a “Woman of Faith” conference. This Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress has a slew of credits including such TV appearances as “Hot in Cleveland,” “The Good Wife,” “GCB,” “Ugly Betty,” “Fraiser,” “Sesame Street” and “Glee,” just to mention several. Her film credits include “Bewitched,” “The Pink Panther,” the voices of “Gabi” the poisonous frog in “Rio 2,” “Rosetta” in “Tinkerbell” and “Kilowatt” in “Space Chimp.” As far as theatre goes, again her vast amount of performances make all of them impossible to list. Several include “Promises, Promises,” “Steel Pier,” “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” and of course “Wicked.” She even has two upcoming films, releasing Jan. 23, 2015: “The Boy Next Door” and “Strange Music.” If I could use one word to describe Kristin, it would have to be “enchanted.” She was humble and amazingly honest. It was one of the most relaxing conversations I’ve ever had

during an interview. Most importantly she was REAL and filled with life! First of all how are you feeling? Oh, thank you for asking. I’m feeling good. I’m working in physical therapy, and I’m just going in the right direction. Glad to hear that. So your brand new, first-ever recorded live album, “Coming Home,” is being released momentarily. How much fun was it to do in front of a live audience? I loved it because first of all a lot of artists aren’t choosing to do that anymore. I love the live sound because it’s the emotion of the exact moment. Every album I’ve been fortunate to make has meant a lot to me, but this is sort of a career album for me. It’s songs that I’ve done, as a little kid some of them, songs I did in college, songs I’m doing on tour, songs that meant a lot to me as the journey has gone on. Getting to do it in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where I grew up is just the icing on the cake. You’re going to follow the release of this album with a television special? Yeah. We’re taking a good hour of what we did in concert – some of it was with PBS, and they’re airing it November 28. I’m so excited for people to listen to the album and then actually watch. This theatre, they named it “The Kristin Chenoweth Theatre,” and I’m very proud of it. It is state-of-the-art. It has close to 1,600 seats, I think. It’s just beautiful. It’s where touring acts come through in our part of the state and I’m really, really honored. You probably can’t pick a favorite, but is there any one song on the album that you like to perform? Oh gosh, you know, all of these songs I love to do for different reasons, as you can imagine, but the song that I look forward to every single time – it’s also very challenging too – it’s a very difficult song to sing. It’s “Bring It Home” from Les Mis. I love that

Coming Home

Coming Home

set, my church is in the background and singing it in front of that – I don’t know, it’s a beautiful prayer. I never, ever, ever, tire of singing it. You’ve done so many things: theatre, films, television, beauty pageants. You’ve won Emmys, Tonys, you’re an author. Is there anything that you haven’t done that you would still like to accomplish? I think about that a lot, because obviously I have the five-year plan, 10-year plan. I won’t say I’ve achieved everything I want to achieve, but this album is me. It’s really everything that I do in my hometown, and I said after the album comes out, if it all ended tomorrow, I’d be so happy. There is a lot of things I wanna do—sure I wanna get a Grammy like every other artist—but really if it ended tomorrow, I’m so happy. I really, really am. Are you planning on following the album with a tour? Yeah, I’m gonna do Broadway first [On the Twentieth Century], and then I’m gonna tour it right after I leave Broadway. You know, I don’t know how to stop—that’s my problem. I don’t know how to slow down. When I slow down, I actually don’t feel very well, but yeah, I’m gonna tour it late next summer or next fall. You know, you seem to be such a bubbly, happy, effervescent, vibrant person. Just looking at you makes people smile. Are you ever sad? I mean, is that really you? I’m so glad you asked this question. One of the reasons I wanted to do this particular album is I want people to see—obviously they’ll get to watch it, they’ll get to hear that there’s so much more than just “happy Kristin.” There’s a person. I’m a daughter, I hope I’m a good friend, I’ve lost love, I’ve been the one who has hurt someone. You know, that’s what all these songs represent. Yes, Glinda was a great part, Charlie Brown was great, but yeah. I’m a woman, and that comes with scrapes and cuts, so yeah, I have bad days and hard times like everyone else. People don’t always wanna hear it when you’re a little bit well known; they’re like …

tough crap. I try to keep that to myself. I do have a good life, but yeah, I have my shitty days for sure. And I’m not happy all the time. I’m not! I get in a bitchy mood just like everybody else. I’m almost relieved to hear that, I can’t even tell you. OMG, yes. Trust me Eileen, trust me. I can have my moments, sure. I mean, who doesn’t? I can be depressed. I can have a broken heart. I can trust the wrong

people. It’s all relevant, isn’t it? Yes, it is. But I find that when you’re in

my position it’s really not a good idea

to complain to people except

those you trust. I am blessed.

I do have a roof over my head, I have clothes on my back, and anything tough

I’ve gone through I

just share with those

close to me.

Well, it seems like

you work a lot anyway. I work a lot, and I do love what I do, but I really do strive to find that down time, even if it’s only one day. When I sit at home and watch “I Killed My BFF” or “My Strange Addiction” or “Real Housewives,” whatever it is, I wanna eat in bed, share with my dog. You have the kind of voice that launches ships. I heard somewhere that you do…literally. OMG, yes! I am, tomorrow of all days, I’m actually named “The Godmother” of a brand-new ship from Royal Caribbean called “Quantum of the Seas,” and I will be christening it. Yesterday I was on the ship doing some godmotherly duties, and tomorrow I christen the ship. I will be with the captain; we’ll christen the ship by breaking a bottle. I love the ship because it is like Vegas on the sea. I love a good blackjack table. This thing is massive; she’s beautiful. You can do everything from bumper cars to ice skating to floating above the water in a bubble-type apparatus called “North Star.” It’s one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I look forward to actually taking the time off and going on a cruise, because I drove up yesterday—and remember I’ve been working with Royal Caribbean for two years preparing this day for tomorrow. It is a beautiful thing to behold. I believe it’s the biggest ship out there. I saw pictures of it. It’s really cool! It is really cool, really cool. That’s going to be so much fun for you. I can’t wait! I got to meet some of the crew yesterday, and it’s nice to go somewhere where people actually wanna do their job. I mean, that’s a great job. Well, you’d be surprised. People wanna be there, they wanna help. It’s really nice to behold, to be involved with such pleasant, kind people. I’m excited for people to see pictures of her because it’s just…“Love Boat.” Come on, “Love Boat” what? It’s amazing. So it’s no secret that you’re a gay rights advocate, but you’re also a Christian.

Though some might think that’s a conflict, you seem to embrace it. Have you had any consequences because of that? OMG, is the pope Catholic? If you would have told me when I was growing up in Broken Arrow that I would have needed to become this person and speak out about LGBT community, I would have been like, “Huh?” I wouldn’t have known I would have had to do it in such a public form. Just like many people say, it’s a very personal thing, but all of a sudden people know when I’m coming to visit—“Oh, she’s a Christian, she’s a Christian.” When you’re in New York and LA I guess that seems like an oddity, but when you’re in Oklahoma it’s normal. Right. I never looked at any of my gay friends as wrong; in fact I struggled with people who did view it that way, so as my career journey continued I found myself in that position where you have to really say how you feel no matter who it makes mad. But the truth of the matter is I think it’s the biggest civil rights issue we have today. I agree, I do. And I’m really frustrated that we’re still in this conversation, and if I’m frustrated then what must it be like for the gay community?

Exactly. God loves us all. He didn’t make mistakes. He put me together: I’m 4’11”, I always say this, and I’ve been quoted many times that if it were a sin to be 4’11”, what would I do. I’m 4’11”. That’s the way God made me. That’s the way he made people who are gay. It’s not choice, it’s how you’re put together. So how can that be wrong? It would be like for me being a heterosexual would that be a sin. OMG, cause I love men! I really love men. I don’t know what I’d do. I love women too, I just don’t wanna marry them. Maybe that’s been the whole problem. Maybe I should marry a woman actually. Relationships are tricky, but they’re rewarding if you work hard at them and you enjoy the person that you’re with. Kristin, where do you see yourself in 10 years? Oh, you got me. Hopefully I’m doing exactly what I’m doing now, Eileen. I hope I’m working, cause I love it. How do I not do this? So I hope I’m still working, and I hope I’m on stage, I hope I’m on television, in a movie. They’ll probably have to wheel me out there in a wheelchair, and I’ll still be at it. Well, whatever you do, I wish you so much luck. You are amazing! Thank you, Eileen!

A VERY COURTNEY CHRISTMASTHERE IS NO

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

WHEN YOU SPEND CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA. DECEMBER 25 IS THE MIDDLE OF SUMMERTIME THERE, AFTER ALL! IN “TWAS THE G’DAY B4 XMAS,” RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE RUNNER-UP COURTNEY ACT REGALES AUDIENCES WITH FESTIVE SONGS AND STORIES ABOUT DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS DOWN UNDER. GRAB YOUR MATE AND GATHER ‘ROUND COURTNEY’S CHRISTMAS BUSH FOR AN EVENING OF LIVE MUSIC, SPECIAL GUESTS AND A WHOLE LOT OF OUTBACK HOLIDAY CHEER. What do you do when the weather outside is frightful? I hate the cold! In a past life I must have been a homeless person who froze to death. You’re spending December in New York and London this year. I don’t know what do! I may have to become a shut in.

Was the weather ever a concern down under? I lived in Queensland, which is very tropical. One year we enjoyed brilliant electrical storms on Christmas. It was a wonderful Christmas lights display! How is Christmas celebrated in Australia? Christmas is in summer, so we head out and lay by the Christmas tree on North Bondi Beach. Do kids leave cookies and milk for Santa? Being the son of a naturopath, we would leave carrot sticks and low fat soy milk because mom said it was better for Santa’s waistline. Will you leave anything for him this year? Willam, Alaska and I just recorded a new holiday song, “Dear Santa, Bring Me A Man,” so maybe I’ll leave a digital copy for him in his digital stocking. Is it better to give or to receive? I see what you’re getting at.

Do you re-gift? Sure, I re-gift. I care about the environment. Will you be exchanging with Adore Delano, Bianca Del Rio and Willam? Hmmm…maybe. What will you get them? A brain, a heart and courage. I’m like the Wizard of Oz! Although, I don’t think Willam really needs courage. Who do you hope to find under the mistletoe? My celebrity crush has always been James Franco, but I just read Russell Brand’s new book, and he is totally at the top of my list now. COURTNEY ACT PERFORMS “TWAS THE G’DAY B4 XMAS” AT THE LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE DEC. 5-7, 7PM. TIX ARE $22 WITH A $15 FOOD/DRINK MIN. $40 VIP TIX INCLUDING RESERVED SEATING AND MEET-AND-GREET ARE ALSO AVAILABLE. FOR TIX, CALL 212-352-3101 OR VISIT SPINCYCLENYC.COM.
