“Broad City” star Abbi Jacobson came out as being attracted to both men and women in an interview promoting her new film “6 Balloons.”
“I kind of go both ways; I date men and women,” the 34-year-old told Vanity Fair. “They have to be funny, doing something they love. I don’t know—I’ve never really been interviewed about this before.”
When the interviewer informs her that by discussing her dating life she’s opening herself up to be approached she responds, “Yeah, who knows? The world is my oyster.”
In addition to appearing in “6 Balloons,” which is currently streaming on Netflix, Jacobson will appear as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” along with her “Broad City” co-star Ilana Glazer.
However, Jacobson wasn’t willing to give up any spoilers.
“It’s pretty much under lock and key over there,” Jacobson says. “I know roughly when it airs because, as a judge, I know how many contestants are left, but I can’t say.”

Madonna announces release date for new album
‘Confessions II’ marks return to the dance floor
Pop icon Madonna on Wednesday announced that her 15th studio album will be released on July 3.
Titled “Confessions II,” the new album is a sequel to 2005’s “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” an Abba and disco-infused hit.
The new album reunites Madonna with producer Stuart Price, who also helmed the original “Confessions” album. It’s her first album of new material since 2019’s “Madame X.”
“We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,” Madonna said in a press release. “These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people,” continued the statement. “Sound, light, and vibration reshape our perceptions. Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”

In an act of artistic defiance, Baltimore Center Stage stays focused on DEI
‘Maybe it’s a triple-down’
By LESLIE GRAY STREETER | I’m always tickled when people complain about artists “going political.” The inherent nature of art, of creation and free expression, is political. This becomes obvious when entire governments try to threaten it out of existence, like in 2025, when the brand-new presidential administration demanded organizations halt so-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming or risk federal funding.
Baltimore Center Stage’s response? A resounding and hearty “Nah.” A year later, they’re still doubling down on diversity.
“Maybe it’s a triple-down,” said Ken-Matt Martin, the theater’s producing director, chuckling.
