The itch left in our cold, black hearts from the Scissor Sisters hiatus has been scratched by SS hottie Del Marquis solo experiments with vocalist Xavier.

"Let Me Tickle Your Fancy," the first single off an upcoming solo release from Del, is leaving us and the rest of the world giddy with a controversial NSFW music video. Check it out after the jump!

As the dust settles around Chuck Hagel's nomination to Secretary of Defense (and the resulting media microscope placed over him), he's come clean about what lead him to denounce James Hormel, ambassador to Luxembourg, as "aggressively gay": the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. 

So, the Last Day of the World turned out to be just another excuse to drink with friends (not that we ever need an excuse.)

Should the Mayan Prophecy have held true, however, alien schoolchildren studying humanity’s final year would’ve learned the correct pronunciation of Ke$ha, how to have a proper kiki and other lessons thanks to a time capsule packed with the greatest pop-culture benchmarks of 2012 that we left in the office fridge next to a year-old carton of Coconut Water.

If the world had actually ended a few days ago, which pop songs would we have heartily co-signed as the absolute greatest in the history of histories ever in all of time combined for eternity in 2012? The Instinct editorial team (Editor In Chief Mike...

With the Scissor Sisters on an "indefinite hiatus" we were concerned that we might be seeing much less of the group's delectable front-man Jake Shears.

Shears is joining super-group Queens Of The Stone Age for their new record!

HBO is about to get into the gay television game in a big way (though we're wondering if anything gets gayer than True Blood)!

The network has just picked up a pilot centered around a trio of gay men in contemporary San Francisco. 

Take us away to the Bay!!

It's weird going from thinking Glee was cancelled years ago to realizing it's still kicking thanks to a socialite-heavy rendition of "Let's Have A Kiki" that's gone viral in less time than Kanye West did after he started dating Kim K. 

So, if you want a campy reminder of Glee's existence, follow the jump for a questionable mash up of Kiki and "Turkey Lurkey" starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Shangela, and other NYC creatures of the nightlife. 

If there was ever a time for a kiki to soothe our ennui it is now as we reel in shock from the news of an end to the Scissor Sisters, well, scissoring. 

The New York Times published an interview this weekend with anti-gay Minnesota House Rep. Michele Bachmann's lesbian step-sister, Helen LaFave. 

Bachmann's mother and LaFave's father have been married for 40 years, which makes Bachmann's continued attacks on the well-being of the gay community and more specifically her own family member that much more disheartening. 

LaFave speaks on her relationship with Bachmann and the politician's "very very sad legacy" after the jump.

The perfect video for a Friday afternoon has arrived in our inbox, ravishing readers! Even if you're kiki-ed out, you'll relish in the revelry and pride oozing from vibrant stars of Sydney Mardi Gras as they give Scissor Sisters "Let's Have A Kiki" realness.

Friend of Instinct and rising international pop star Bright Light Bright Light has debuted the music video for "Feel It," featuring a cameo from Del Marquis of Scissor Sisters. So much yumminess in "Feel It" that he doesn't have to ask us twice!

If you've questioned the whereabouts of every L.A.-area queen over the past few weeks we now have the answer: every tucked trick from here to Palms has been kaikai-ing away in the video shoot for Willam and Rhea Litre's Scissor Sister spoof, "Let's Have A KaiKai." The result is as sickening and marvelous as expected.

Check out the long-awaited video for "Let's Have A KaiKai" after the jump!

The always outspoken Roseanne Barr appeared on Piers Morgan last night to promote her upcoming (can't wait!) Comedy Central Roast when the interview turned up into a ringing endorsement for the legitimacy of gay relationships.
