& TODD STEPHENS

Where would Charlotte York be without her shrill number 1 gay, Anthony Marentino? After gracing four seasons of Sex and the City, New York City comedian and Broadway star Mario Cantone (above, left) joined the show's fab four for its wildly successful big&screen adaptation, this time lending his wedding-planning expertise to Carrie and Mr. Big. The hilarious master of flamboyant tantrums plays Caroline's on Broadway in November and will star in the comedy National Lampoon's Dirty Movie next year.

Filmmaker Todd Stephens (right) went back for seconds, even if most of his original cast didn't join him in Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild. (Still, he gets his revenge on those actors and their timid handlers in the film.) The candy&colored queer affair included roles and cameos by a constellation of homos including Will Wikle, Lady Bunny, RuPaul, Perez Hilton, Brent Corrigan, Amanda Lepore, Colton Ford, and Michael Lucas. Stephens's next projects include the thriller Smart Mob and the third installment in the Sandusky Trilogy, following Edge of Seventeen and Gypsy 83.
