10. EVENT: PaleyFest and An Evening With Looking
The Paley Center for Media sponsors a ton of great events where you can get up close and personal with the talent behind your favorite TV shows, with screenings and onstage conversations. Wednesday the center is presenting an evening with the cast and crew of Looking, featuring Jonathan Groff and several other actors from the show, plus executive producer Andrew Haigh and creator and co-executive producer Michael Lannan. It starts at 7:30 p.m. at the center's Beverly Hills location, and for those who can't be there, it will be live-streamed on Yahoo Screen. Tickets here. Then next month brings PaleyFest Los Angeles, March 6-15 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, spotlighting many LGBT-inclusive or LGBT-beloved shows, including Glee (cast pictured above), Scandal, Teen Wolf, The Good Wife, Modern Family, American Horror Story: Freak Show, Arrow, and The Flash. See the full lineup and order tickets here. -- Trudy Ring
9. MUSIC: "Love Me Like You Do,"Â Ellie Goulding
It's hard not to love Ellie Goulding's lush new ballad. It's tailor-made to be a theme for a big sweeping romance, though Fifty Shades of Grey is probably not that movie (it's on the soundtrack). The video features cuts from the film, which make the BDSM movie look like The Way We Were. Just download the song and skip the clip. -- Neal Broverman
7. BOOK: The Perception Myth, Brad Wheelis
Former ABC News correspondent and award-winning journalist Brad Wheelis tackles feelings of success (or the lack thereof) in his new self-help book, The Perception Myth. Part personal memoir (Wheelis grew up a military kid constantly on the move), part personal aide, The Perception Myth helps teach readers how to "discover their inner greatness" while also showing them how to lead a new, happy life. Sounds like the self-help book version of an Adele song to us. Get Wheelis's new book here. -- Raffy Ermac
5. BOOK: live.love.beauty, Keegan Allen
Teen dream Keegan Allen (a.k.a. Toby Cavanaugh on Pretty Little Liars) has taken his photography talents off of his Instagram account and Tumblr blog and onto the printed page with his first book, live.love.beauty. After what was surely a huge demand from his millions and millions of teenage Internet followers, Allen has released this volume of photographs (taken exclusively by him all the way from childhood to present day) all for the viewing pleasure of PLL fangirls everywhere. Already a best seller, live.love.beauty is not a book to miss (especially if you love being welcomed by hot, artsy-fartsy mirror selfies). Get Allen's new book here.-- Raffy Ermac
3. MUSIC: "Style," Taylor Swift
The third single off 1989 continues a long winning streak for Taylor Swift. Catchy at first listen, "Style" has a throbbing, sexy beat that's perfect for driving or treadmilling to. The video looks like a perfume commercial; it doesn't say much, but damn, it looks good. -- Neal Broverman
1. TV: The Oscars
The 87th Academy Awards will celebrate Hollywood's best and brightest, but the Oscars 2015 telecast will also be a night of entertainment LGBT fans won't want to miss. With Neil Patrick Harris hosting, we're getting an out LGBT host for the second consecutive year (after Ellen last year), and a number of LGBT icons are set to perform, including Jennifer Hudson and Lady Gaga. Read our new interview with the out gay producers who are fearlessly gaying up the Oscars for the third year in a row, and tune in to ABC Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern to watch Hollywood's biggest night unfold. -- Jase Peeples
