We say goodbye to Glee, hope it's just a 'see you later' to Looking, and get Insurgent in this week's entertainment highlights.
10. BOOK: Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor
Beloved Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn brought provided charming quips on design for the contestants on the show, and viewers fell in love with his quirky sense of humor. He is now publishing his third book, and this time he's bringing his TEACH philoshopy to the public: "Truth-telling, empathy, asking, cheerleading, and hoping for the best." Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor is a master class on mentoring that covers leadership, curiosity, diversity, understanding, and empathy. -- Yezmin Villarreal
9. EVENT: PFLAG Straight for Equality Gala
PFLAG will honor and celebrate straight allies at its seventh annual Straight for Equality Gala, set for March 30 at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel.

7. MUSIC: Realness, RuPaul
Ru is not just the doyenne of Drag Race; he's a prolific recording artist now on his seventh album. Realness, his latest, includes collaborations from Drag Race judge and former Seduction member Michelle Visage ("L.A. Rhythm"), actress-model Rebecca Romijn ("Color Me Love"), and porn mogul Chi Chi LaRue on the Gaga-esque "LGBT." Give this collection of house bangers a spin this weekend. -- Neal Broverman
5. THEATER: Jewels of Paris
San Francisco's LGBT-inclusive Thrillpeddlers troupe celebrates the artistic, social, and sexual changes that emerged from Paris nearly a century ago in its new musical review Jewels of Paris, cowritten by original Cockette Scrumbly Koldewyn. Among the Paris habitues portrayed in this time-traveling entertainment are Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Josephine Baker, and even Marie Antoinette (time-traveling, remember). It's playing now through May 2 at the Hypnodrome in the City by the Bay. Reserve a seat here. -- Trudy Ring
3. TV: Looking season finale
HBO's critically acclaimed dramedy about gay life in San Francisco wraps up its second season Sunday at 10 p.m. The episode begins with protagonist Patrick moving in with his boss and full-time fella Kevin. Everything is going swimmingly until the guys attend a party and -- well, you'll see. Get ready for a surprise appearance, more sweetness between redeemed Agustin and his new boyfriend, Eddie (played winningly by Daniel Franzese), and real talk between Dom and Doris. It's all stellar. Hopefully, this will be the season finale, not the series finale. Right, HBO? -- Neal Broverman
1. TV: Glee series finale
The time has finally come upon us, Gleeks.The two-hour finale to one of television's most beloved and gay-friendly programs airs this week, and although it will be extremely bittersweet to say goodbye one last time to some of our favorite LGBT characters like Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine (Darren Criss), and Santana (Naya Rivera), it's nice to know that the world actually paid attention to the too-real struggles of young gay people for six music-filled seasons. Few shows have managed to produce that response [sheds tear]. Glee's series finale airs tonight at 8 on Fox. -- Raffy Ermac
