THEY SAY: Tiny & Toya Fell Out Over A Reality Show…
Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris and Antonia ‘Toya’ Wright used to be tighter than tight.

HBO’s ‘Behind the Candelabra’ looks beyond gay pianist’s legendary flamboyance
It would be virtually impossible to make a film about the life of gay entertainer Liberace and not have plenty of campy, over-the-top moments. But Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh largely focuses on the human story over the flamboyance in his new HBO film “Behind the Candelabra,” debuting May 26. Based on Liberace’s six-year relationship with Scott Thorson and Thorson’s memoir, “Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace,” the film opens in 1977 as a young Scott (Damon) goes to Las Vegas with a new friend to see pianist Liberace (Michael Douglas) in concert.
