The people who brought you RuPaul's Drag Race are casting for a new reality show that we can only imagine is a blend between the A-List and Jersey Shore. God help us all. Casting info after the jump.

Fire Island, New York's gay escape, is already receiving exaggerated swelling surf from Hurricane Irene, a sign that warrants Thursday's voluntary evacuation orders (and possible mandatory orders today). Details and video follow.

Alec Mapa + Jesse Archer + Jack Plotnick + a comedy about housemates on Fire Island = pure gay entertainment. Follow the jump to watch the first preview of the highly-anticipated pilot, Half-Share.
