Gay, bi, Tribeca

IT WAS Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve ... until this month's hip Tribeca Film Festival, where out actor Craig Chester unveils his screenwriting-directorial debut, Adam & Steve. Chester and fellow out actor Malcolm Gets (Caroline in the City) play jaded 30-something boyfriends in the Woody Allen-meets-John Waters-style romantic comedy. Hysterical costars include Saturday Night Live's Chris Kattan, Julie Hagerty, Jackie Beat, and--as a chunky goth fag hag--Parker Posey. "The first time I saw Parker in [the fat suit and prosthetics], it was disturbing," Chester tells The Buzz. "She looked like Carnie Wilson before the stomach staple."

Also debuting is The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green, director George Bamber's live-action adaptation of Eric Orner's syndicated comic strip, revolving around a gay man trapped in dating hell. Although happily shacked up for 10 years running, Bamber admits he could identify with the strip's protagonist. "I have a horrible dating life," he notes, laughing. "So I took the easy way out and decided to be in a relationship. I copped out!"
