With Oz The Great And Powerful hitting theaters today, it's only fitting that the great and powerful diva herself, Mariah Carey, would drop the video for the film's soundtrack single, "Almost Home."

Watch Mariah bring it home after the jump!

If Mariah throwing shade at Nicki Minaj on a weekly basis isn't enough Mimi for you, we think the diva's new track from the Oz The Great And Powerful soundtrack will more than satisfy your appetite!

Instinct cover guy, Adam Lambert joined iconic diva, Cyndi Lauper for a duet performance of Tears for Fears' "Mad World," per La Lauper's request at Sunday's second annual "Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays." The event brings awareness to LGBT homeless youth. 

Adam killed "Mad World" on American Idol back in the day, so we knew we were in for a treat, but there's something even more special about watching him keep it together while he's clearly stanning out over performing a duet with Cyndi!

Definitely something to watch. Let us know what you think of the dynamic duo after the jump!

The one bastion of hope for Northeastern LGBT homeless youth, NYC's Ali Forney Center, is still struggling to recover from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy. So, to help the AFC get back on its feet, the It Gets Better Project will bring its key tenet—it gets better—to a holiday fundraiser later this month. Details after the jump. 

The Associated Press highlighted the outpouring of support that the Ali Forney Center has received in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. 

The shelter for homeless LGBT youth in New York City  (helmed by Instinct Leading Man Carl Siciliano) was devastated by the superstorm, but it appears that kindhearted souls (yes, there are a few  of them out there!) around the world have come to the rescue in a big way.

If you're anywhere within flying distance of New York City this weekend, head  to Industry Bar in Hell's Kitchen to help the invaluable Ali Forney Center resurrect from the destruction of Hurricane Sandy. Details after the jump. 

Ugh. This news gutted us. Sandy is just suuuuuch a bitch. 

Our previous Instinct Leading Man, Carl Siciliano, the head of the Ali Forney Center, an LGBT homeless youth shelter in New York City, has announced that the center's drop-in center for homeless youth has been destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

Devastating. See what Sicilano had to say after the jump.

In celebration of National Coming Out Day, author Timothy Kurek, 26, is launching the sale of his book The Cross In The Closet.

We were first introduced to Kurek's unique story earlier this summer. Kurek, a straight man that was raised as a devout Christian, made the interesting (and pretty daring) choice to go deep undercover and live as a gay man for an entire year in an attempt to better understand the gay experience. 

Kurek not only walked away with a greater sense of empathy for the gay community, but also with a better understanding of himself.
