Quite quietly, the excessively heterosexual EHarmony, as a part of court ordered settlement reached last November in New Jersey, launched its gay match making website, called, innocuously enough, Compatible Partners, thereby giving gays one more avenue to find awkward first dates.
Monday, Connecticut’s Judiciary Committee passed a measure by 30-10 vote to approve a law conforming with a 2008 State Supreme Court ruling that allows for gay marriage in Connecticut. The measure revises the definition of marriage as being non-gender specific and removes language from a 1991 anti-discrimination bill that stated Connecticut does not approve of same-sex marriage.

Madonna, Hayden Christensen, Ryan Phillippe, Chet Cannon Crazy Chat, Gays Hating On Clay Aiken, Kathy Griffin Goes Norma Rae For Gays
Child hungry Madonna takes David to visit his father, with awkwardness aplenty.
Dubious heterosexual Hayden Christensen hawks Lacoste.
Hall of Fame DILF Ryan Phillippe, at work on the set of his new film Big Bang Club, scowling and skulking, both of which being more than enough.
Chet Cannon, he of MTV’s The Real World, insists that Mormons are not inherently anti-gay, but rather “pro-family.” Ah, semantics!
Clay Aiken, up close and extreme at Saturday evening’s 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, inspires the ire of many a homosexual (myself excepted), all of which is tad confusing. The man did come out. Geez! Seriously, can someone explain all of the hate?
The inspired and inspiring Kathy Griffin marched on the California State Capital Monday along side an estimated one-hundred and fifty others, demanding a reversal of Proposition 8 – the voted amendment passed on November 4th, 2008, that effectively eliminated the right of gay men and women to marry in the state. Griffin, whose creativity, ease of pop cultural references, and love of the gays makes her a triple threat, went all Norma Rae on the issue of same-sex marriage.

Anti-Gay Marriage Governor Has Mail, Gene Robison On The Religious Right, Andy Hallett, Alyson Hannigan, Zac, Chace, Ed Westwick Looks To Kilt
The Associated Press reports that since announcing last Wednesday his intention to veto a gay marriage bill, Vermont Governor Jim Douglas has been besieged with mail, some supportive, most not. The bill, which would replace the state’s civil union law, and make available as early as September 1st, 2009, the right for gay men and women to marry legally, is expected to be passed by the Vermont House of Representatives this Friday, where it is more than likely to pass.
Bishop Gene Robinson, the openly gay head of the New Hampshire Episcopalian diocese, gave a lecture last night, Monday, at Georgia’s Emory University, where he called for progressive Christians to reclaim the Bible from the religious right and for an insistence of the separation between church and state.
Andy Hallett, who memorably played the Host on Angel, with a combination of knowing camp and great wit, died Sunday in Los Angeles. He was 33. The cause of death has yet to be determined.
Congratulations to Alyson Hannigan and husband Alexis Denisof (who will always be Willow and Wesley), proud parents of baby girl, born March 24th.
Zac Efron, so cute and so, so straight, is quoted by London’s Daily Mirror as saying that he and “girlfriend” Vanessa Hudgens would like to the American version of David and Victoria Beckham. “I totally love the way David dresses,” said Zac. See; so straight.
Since Efron announced late last week that the was withdrawing from a proposed Paramount Pictures remake of Footloose, other names that have been bandied about include Gossip Girl boy and seriously straight Chace Crawford, seen here leaving an apartment in Los Angeles Monday, after reportedly auditioning for the role.
Ed Westwick, meanwhile, Crawford’s boyfriend, attended Sean Connery’s Dressed to Kilt charity fashion show Monday, rocking a mad about plaid look, the event a launch to the annual Tartan Week in New York City, a celebration of Scotland and the Scottish.

Zac Efron talks to the Daily Mail about Leonardo DiCaprio, being a geek, and having hoards of hysterical girls rip his clothes.
Leonardo, meanwhile, is not engaged to “girlfriend” Bar Refaeli.
Hall of Fame DILF and New England Patriot starting quarterback Tom Brady and new wife, Vanity Fair cover girl Gisele Bundchen, were out and about in New York City Monday, separately, with Brady noticeably limping – not a good sign.
Stocky sexy Jason Statham comes ashore.
The beyond hot Kellan Lutz is featured in a new spread in Flaunt magazine, a sneak preview of which is, um, beyond hot.
Jay Manuel, surprisingly sexy in silver at Saturday evening’s 20th Annual GLADD Media Awards explains the Flash Gordon influence that inspires his style.
Jay’s BFF Tyra, honored Saturday with the GLAAD Excellence in Media, presented to her by Clay Aiken, and Miss Tyra, with humility and humor, spoke of discrimination, of acceptance, and apologized to gays everywhere for appropriating the word fierce.

Calgarian Homosexual Hater Termed Anti-Gay Activist, John Katehis, Connecticut Catholics, Clay Aiken, Gisele Bundchen Wants Your Child, Bill O’Reilly
A man who was arrested last July at the University of Calgary for trespassing when he was caught on campus by security distributing violently anti-gay literature said Friday, through his lawyer, that he will fight the charges in court, claiming that his right to free speech has been violated, apparently the dynamic duo of attorney/client unable or perhaps unwilling to note the profound semantic separation between speech that is free and speech that is hate. (As an aside, the comments accompanying the article are too unable to grasp the fundamental difference.)
The alleged killer of WABC radio newsman George Weber will only tell his story to any and all media outlets for money that according to the New York Post, who tried to interview John Katehis, accused of murdering Weber after the two met through Craigslist, over the weekend.
Proposed legislation in Connecticut that would have made the Catholic Church in the state financially transparent that was initiated by a parishioner concerned about the Church’s contributions to political campaigns, has created a battle between Catholics, the government, and somehow, gay men and women in the state.
More coverage of Saturday evening’s 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, including a healthy portfolio of photographs, including the always adorable Clay Aiken with Miss. Tyra Banks, the terribly sexy Trevor Wright and outgoing GLAAD President Neil Giuliano.
Gisele Bundchen graces the cover of the May Vanity Fair, and inside tells the magazine all about Tom Brady, ex-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio, and how she really wants to be the mother to Tom’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, the so cute John Edward Thomas.
Bill O’ Reilly, whose self-appointed delusional job description is to “watch the powerful,” talks to The Hollywood Reporter about his favorite movies (The Godfather), the left-wing media elite (MSNBC) and why he will never ever see a Sean Penn movie. Oh, and death threats (he’s received them).

President Obama Unlikely To Overturn Gay Military Ban, Kris Allen Gets Gay, Facebook Turns Five, Madonna Seeks Mercy, Samantha Shorn
According to the American Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the Obama Administration is not a position to repeal the military ban on gays serving openly in the military put in place by the Clinton Administration in 1993, telling Fox News Sunday morning that he and the President have “a lot on our plates right now.” This contradicts completely what candidate Obama stated, who long suggested he would reverse the utterly ridiculous “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
Adam Lambert may not be the only homosexual brother on this season’s American Idol; Kris Allen seems to, um, be a little gay.
Facebook, in existence for five years, expects to register its two-hundred millionth member sometime this coming week.
Despite pleas from the United Kingdom agency Save The Children not to, Madonna is in Malawi where she intends to adopt a daughter, four-year old Mercy.
While girlfriend Samantha Ronson revealed a new haircut, Lindsay Lohan revealed she is still slowly, um, unraveling.

Cute Clay Aiken Honors Tyra Banks, Gentler Gay Protest Planned For Equal Rights, Antonin Scalia Hates Gays, Spying On The Dali Lama, Margaret Cho Chat
Saturday night’s 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were held last night in New York City, one of the big winners Miss Tyra Banks, presented the Excellence in Media Award by a suddenly sexier Clay Aiken, Suze Orman, who received the Vito Russo Award from T.R. Knight, and Phil Donahue, who, along with The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, earned a special recognition award. Also on hand last, Keith Olbermann and the unsinkable Michael Urie.
Led by Jacob Whipple, members of Utah’s LGBT community are planning a quieter, gentler kind of protest this coming weekend, intending to be a very visible presence at the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints General Conference April 4th and 5th. There will no demonstrations, no protests; there will instead “service” protests, including a cleanup of area parks and pathways, gardening, and visits to a number of in need families.
Does, as Barney Franks suggested last week, United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia hate gay men and women? The answer, as this editorial from Saturday’s Los Angeles Times points out, is an obvious yes, but the implications that come with yes, as the legalization of gay marriage will almost certainly become a federal issue, are profound.
According to Saturday’s Globe and Mail, Canadian researchers, including those from the University of Toronto, have discovered a spy plot against the Dali Lama and other Tibetan exiles that originates mostly from China.
Margaret Cho tells the usually dull Domains section of the New York Times magazine that her politics are gay, she has an unhealthy fear of the phone chargers of the future, and that Sharon Stone disappointed and frightened her.

Protesting Vermont Governor’s Plan To Veto Gay Marriage Bill, Bebe Zahara Benet, Ashton’s Short Shorts, Sean Avery, Wolverine, Tom Brady Forgets Keys
Hundreds of gay marriage proponents gathered Friday in Vermont’s state capital, Montpelier, where they rallied in response to the sudden and stunning announcement Wednesday by Governor Jim Douglas, who stated he intended to veto a same-sex marriage bill that is expected to be on the floor of the full state House this coming week.
The very international Bebe Zahara Benet picked up an award from Absolut Thursday evening, looking, well, fiercely international.
Ashton Kutcher, donning some seriously short shorts, shows off his newly waxed body.
The New York Times profiles Pickering, Ontario native Sean Avery, looking at the on and off ice activities of the New York Ranger. Avery, an enemy of hockey’s Politburo, might be in danger of becoming the sport’s Dennis Rodman (although I doubt any of Dennis’s tattoos quote a cool Radiohead song), and yet since the NHL continually serves as a master class in bad marketing, you would think the league might want to embrace the stylish Mr. Avery, whose flair for fashion and for fun is a welcomed antidote to the scripted slickness of the players who bore.
Not nearly boring ever, Hall of Fame DILF Hugh Jackman graces a new X-Men Origins: Wolverine one sheet, along with Taylor Kitsch and Ryan Reynolds, the film now scheduled for release May 1st, 2009.
Current Hall of Fame DILF and future NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady returns home to the New York City West Village brownstone he shares with new wife Gisele Bundchen, with a Whole Foods bag in hand, only to be locked out.

Isis King appears on this coming Monday’s Tyra Banks Show, where the first transgendered contestant on America’s Next Top Model talks about her sex change, her life post Top Model, and her boyfriend Desmond, who, joining her on the show, surprises Miss. King with a proposal of marriage.
Who wears short shorts? John Mayer wears short shorts.
Friend to gays everywhere and a Twitter extraordinaire Ashton Kutcher, in France filming 5 Killers, went and waxed an already nearly nude chest, and made certain to record the moment for posterity. I think.
Jesus denies that he is a cheat.
Andy Roddick, who is seriously cute, seriously scratches himself.
While Tom Brady, the father of her child is off shaping his eyebrows with new wife Gisele Bundchen, the lovely Bridget Moyahan was out and about in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles Thursday with the adorable John Edward Thomas.

Gays Score Double Victory In Delaware, Alberta To Include Sexual Orientation As Right, Gay Icon Portraits, Zac Efron's Dirty Ear, Kenley Collins' Cat
More good news for gays: the Delaware Senate Thursday voted against Bill 27, a constitutional amendment that would have made an existing law in the state that defines marriage as that only between a man and woman almost impossible to overturn and the House passed a bill that effectively bans discrimination in Delaware based on sexual orientation. All of this transpired while the proponents of anti-gay hate – who seem to take pleasure in being practitioners of persecution – protested in and outside of the Legislature, including at least one-thousand protestors who were bused in all wearing white tee shirts proclaiming “One Man, One Woman – That’s Marriage” as well as our old friends from the Family Policy Council, whose spokesperson testified that the overturning of gay marriage bans in other states have forced churches to comply with the law that contradicts their teachings and that schools must alter their curriculums to teach that homosexuality is acceptable – both statements being grotesque distortions of the truth.
More good news for gays from unexpected sources: the newly appointed Alberta Culture Minister Lindsay Blackett said Thursday that he wants to amend the Province’s human rights laws, bringing them into line with Federal guidelines and include sexual orientation as a protected right as early as this spring.
A new exhibition scheduled to open at the National Gallery in London in July entitled Gay Icons will feature a selection of some sixty portraits chosen by several prominent homosexuals, including Elton John, Sir Ian McKellan, and Billie Jean King. The show is attempting to illustrate that the idea of a gay icon is no longer a narrow conceit limited to clichéd images, and that is in fact broad in scope.
A portrait of Zac Efron as a young unkempt man, that Mr. Efron would rather remain unseen.
Public nuisance and threat to felines everywhere, former Project Runway participant Kenley Collins denied in court Wednesday that she employed a cat to attack her ex-boyfriend.

24 Hour Fitness Sued For Homophobia, Twitter, Tom Brady’s Brows, Friday Night Lights, Young, Restless, And Gay, Jake, Robbie Williams, Casey And Jamie
Two former employees of 24 Hour Fitness are suing the company, claiming that the health club demoted, harassed, and forced out of their jobs, them after they complained about a climate of homophobia and racism.
All that Twitters is not nearly real.
Apparently Hall of Fame DILF and New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady and new wife Gisele Bundchen are so eager to be that couple that look alike they each see the same esthetician who shapes the twosome’s brows in an identical way.
Friday Night Lights will be renewed for at least another two seasons, but unfortunately the talents of Adrianne Palicki and Minka Kelly will be on hand for only part of the thirteen episodes.
The Young and the Restless are planning to have one of the show’s long standing character come out.
Dubious heterosexual Jake Gyllenhaal is mad for plaid.
Pretend heterosexual Robbie Williams and “girlfriend” Ayda Field were out and about in Manchester, England attending the opening of the Queen musical We Will Rock You, attempting to continue a charade that they are a happy “couple.”
Casey Aldridge’s dirty lost weekend (I posted about earlier today) has apparently given pause for fiancé Jamie Lynn Spears, who late Thursday announced their wedding has been called off.

New Hampshire Legislation Approves Gay Marriage Bill, John Katehis Charged As An Adult, Bryan Batt, Madonna To Malawi, Casey Aldridge Is A Dirty Boy
Finally, after days of never ending disappointment, some great news for my American gay brothers and sisters: the New Hampshire Legislation just passed a law making that state the third in the union to allow same-sex marriage! While narrowly passed – 186-179 – the bill now goes to the Senate for approval. New Hampshire Governor John Lynch, a Democrat, is on record as opposing gay marriage, but has yet to indicate whether he will exercise his right to veto the bill.
Sixteen-year old John Katehis was formally charged as an adult with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the brutal stabbing killing of WABC radio newsman George Weber. Amid the salacious details and media examinations of random gay sex via Craigslist, I’m afraid, will be lost the actual story of Weber, and more importantly perhaps, how someone so obviously disturbed as Katehis went without care or treatment.
Bryan Batt – he is not only gay, but plays one of television too – says there are no plans for his Mad Men character Salvatore Romano to ever leave his “wife” or ever come out.
Madonna and her adopted son David are on a reconnaissance mission to Malawi, where she will reportedly tour the area in the hopes of adopting another child, a girl, that according to a spokesperson of the Ministry of Gender and Child Development.
Casey Aldridge, the fiancé and father of Jamie-Lynn Spears child likes to get dirty and not with Jamie-Lynn.

British Therapists Prescribe Gay Cure, Mormon Political Machine Revealed, Roger Federer, Ryan Gosling, Nicole Kidman, Orlando Bloom, Taking Woodstock
A survey with stunning results released Thursday in Britain taken of more than one-thousand therapists, psychoanalysts, and psychiatrists in the country finding than more than two-hundred of those questioned attempted to change or to cure gay patients of their sexual orientation, and another fifty-five stating they still offer treatment purported to take away the gay, all this despite evidence that no such treatment is ever effective and that in fact the practice of trying to change one’s sexuality is more damaging that not. Doctor Michael King of University College London who led the study, suggests that the conclusions suggest that there “are many men and women who are distressed about discovering they are gay, and some will go to counsellors [and] what they should be doing is helping these people adjust and cope. They need to know it is society’s problem, not theirs.”
Just how carefully constructed a political machine is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? According to this, in the post-Proposition 8 fallout, details the LDS elders would have preferred kept quiet are being disclosed and it would be a tad naïve for followers to the Mormon Church to believe that those elders are actually in the business of religion, and not political players who have built a house of cards.
Roger Federer, perhaps not quite as hot as Andy Roddick or Rafael Nadal, but cute nonetheless, offered a healthy glimpse of the goods Tuesday in Florida, as he practiced in preparation for play in the Sony-Ericsson Open.
Guess which Hollywood hobo made with the torn tee look Wednesday?
Nicole Kidman has joined the already luminous cast of the next Woody Allen film, as yet untitled and scheduled to begin production this spring. Kidman will star along with Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Freda Pinto, and Naomi Watts.
Orlando Bloom has joined the cast of Main Street, a new film from a screenplay by the late Horton Foote. Bloom will star along Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson, and Colin Firth.
Demetri Martin charmingly introduces the first trailer for the upcoming Ang Lee film Taking Woodstock, and it – featuring Martin, Emile Hirsch, Live Schreiber (in drag) and Imelda Staunton looks really right on.

Vermont Governor To Veto Gay Bill, Hawaii Civil Union Bill Dead, Oregon Attack A Hate Crime, Paris And Kathy, Zac, Sean Penn A Stooge, Wild Things
Somewhat surprisingly, Republican Governor Jim Douglas of Vermont said late Wednesday afternoon that he intends to veto the gay marriage bill that is likely to pass the Legislature. Governor Douglas said that he believed the State’s offer of civil unions to gay men and women was sufficient and that marriage “should remain between a man and woman.”
Late Wednesday afternoon, House Bill 444, legislation that would have seen the state of Hawaii grant civil unions to homosexuals, was defeated before it even reached the Senate, stalled in a Judiciary Committee.
The attack on two gay men, nursing students from Washington State on March break, in Seaside, Oregon early Sunday morning is now being investigated by police as a hate crime, police Chief Bob Gross said late Tuesday evening. A number of individuals are wanted for questioning.
New best friends forever Paris Hilton and Kathy Griffin were out and about in Los Angeles Wednesday, the twosome wearing matching ensembles, including, um, underwear.
Zac Efron talks about bad gas, gossip, and good advice.
As odd as it might seem, the Farrelly brothers and MGM are near completing casting for the upcoming film The Three Stooges, with Sean Penn as Larry, Jim Carrey as Curly, and, um, Benicio Del Toro as Moe.
The trailer for the upcoming Spike Jonze directed Where the Wild Things Are was released today, and it looks simply spectacular.

An extremely emotionally disturbed sixteen-year old has confessed to the brutal stabbing death of George Weber, a newsman for WABC, the New York City radio network affiliate. John Katehis admitted to police that he answered an ad Weber had placed on Craigslist looking for someone interested in sadomasochist sex. The two, according to a report in the New York Daily News, then met sometime Friday evening in Brooklyn before returning to the forty-seven-year old Weber’s home, where Katehis reportedly stabbed him repeatedly. The News also details that Katehis, according to his MySpace page, is a self-described Satanist with a fetish for knives.
According to the less than reliable London Daily Mail, Prince Harry, so, so, so distraught at being without ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, that the Royal red head attended a “rave for posh people” disguised in a long black wig, all of which sounds a lot like a recent plot point from a Gossip Girl episode involving Chuck Bass.
Last night, Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical, starring Jason Donavan, opened in London’s West End, and to mostly good reviews. To celebrate, hostesses Kandi Kane and Heidi Licious played host to a number of first nighters, including Hall of Fame DILF John Barrowman and his equally sexy husband Scott Gill.
Garth Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb – the co-founders of Livent, the theatre production company who created Showboat among others – were found guilty of fraud and of forgery Wednesday morning in a Toronto court, in a case that was among the biggest examples of corporate fraud and greed in Canadian history. The two will next appear in court April 8th, 2009, at which time a date for sentencing will be determined.
TMZ.com reports that the Los Angeles Police Department have determined that T.R. Knight was responsible for an accident last Thursday, but that no charges will filed against the Grey’s Anatomy off again, on again, off again star.
Zac Efron, leaving Paris for London where he will continue promotion for the upcoming film 17 Again, is apparently going to star in The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, after dropping out of a proposed Footloose sequel.
According to the Los Angeles Times, hotness Robert Pattison stinks. Literally.

James O’Connor Sentenced To Life For Killing Michael Causer, Oregon Hate Attack, Marc Jacobs To Adopt, Clementine Ford Is Out But In, Cindy Crawford
One of the men accused in killing Michael Causer, who denied the attack was homophobic, was sentenced to life in prison, with a chance of parole after eleven and half years. Liverpool Crown Court Justice Timothy King told twenty-year old James O’Conner that he believed O’Connor did not repeatedly attack eighteen-year old Causer while he slept out of a “homophobic motivation.” Another man involved in the attack, Michael Binsteed, pleaded guilty to one count of committing an act or acts that intended to pervert justice – he placed an emergency call intended to cover up the murder – and was given a two year suspended sentence at a juvenile facility. In February, nineteen-year old Gavin Alker, who had been charged with homophobic murder of Causer, was found not guilty by a jury in less than fourteen hours.
Two men, Samson Dell and Kevin Patterson, both twenty-two-years old, were the victims of what appears to be a homophobic attack, when they were viciously beaten, and left unconscious along a stretch of the Oregon coast Saturday night. Dell and Patterson, each nursing students from the western part of Washington state, had gone to Oregon during spring break, and Saturday evening, the two went for a walk along the beach when they were confronted by a group of three or four young men, who began yelling gay slurs at the two, then beat them, causing severe head injuries. Police are searching for suspects.
Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone, who recently announced their engagement, are reportedly planning to adopt a baby girl. The couple, who were in Sao Paulo, Brazil over the weekend, where Jacobs opened a flagship store, have made no official adoption announcement as of yet.
Clementine Ford, the daughter of Cybill Sheperd, whose coming out I posted on last month, apparently did not come out, although she is out, but does not like labels so she remains in. I think. It is all very confusing and fills me with much regret.
Also very confusing, the new Cindy Crawford portfolio in the April issue of Allure, where the fabulous Miss Crawford appears naked, save for shaving cream.

Britain’s Office of Communications ruled Monday that BBC1 personality Chris Moyles breached broadcast standards when he changed the lyrics of two songs by the openly gay singer Will Young, sang them on air in an obviously effeminate voice, thereby “promoting and condoning certain negative stereotypes based on sexual orientation.” Ofcom also said that “such material runs the risk of being imitated by children, for instance in the playgrounds, causing unnecessary distress.”

Bush – and that without ever having met Jason. Mr. Galloway also insists he will be heard by Canadians.

Natasha Richardson Viewing, West Side Story Opening, Story Behind Vanity Fair’s West Side Story, Pedro Almodovar, Nylon Lohan, Eoghan Quigg Pops Open
Family and friends gathered Friday to pay respect to Natasha Richardson, who succumbed to brain injuries she suffered Monday while skiing in Quebec. Joining husband Liam Nessson and sons Michael and Daniel, were Natasha’s Mother, Vanessa Redgrave, sister Joely Richardson, and Mathilde Krim, of the American Foundation of AIDS Research, the charity of which Natasha had served as a trustee since 2006.
Last night the revival of West Side Story opened on Broadway, to very positive reviews. Directed by Arthur Laurents, it stars Matt Cavanaugh as Tony, Karen Olivo as Maria, and making her debut as Anita, Josefina Scaglione. Celebrating opening night were famous divorcee Christie Brinkley and son, Broadway babe Cheyenne Jackson, Carol Lawrence, who originated the role of Maria, and essentially the entire cast of Ugly Betty.
The Vanity Fair online exclusive West Side Story inspired portfolio that was posted Monday seemed to appear out of nowhere, although it seemed timed to celebrate the opening of the revival, yet the truth tells quite a different story – apparently the magazine shot the sequence last spring and was going to run it as a part of subscriber only supplement that was to be delivered in October, post-economic crisis, which effectively killed the issue.
Pedro Almodovar is joined by his muse, Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz, on the cover of the April issue of the Spanish Vanity Fair. Almodovar’s new film, Broken Embraces, starring Cruz, is a celebration of love, women, and Hollywood, is highly anticipated and will be screened at this year’s Cannes.
Nylon magazine celebrates its tenth anniversary (who knew?) and is joined in said celebration by unemployable actress Lindsay Lohan. Congratulations all around!
Young Eoghan Quigg – a singing sensation on Britain’s X-Factor – had a slight, um, wardrobe malfunction while performing in his native Dublin, Ireland. I seriously hope that is not padding that popped. Seriously.

New Charges Filed Against LDS, ACLU Sues California High School For Cultivating Climate Of Hate, Ra Ruiz, Ellen On O, T.R. Knight To The Rescue
An amended complaint filed Thursday by Californians Against Hate with the state Fair Political Practices Commission alleges that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints created a front group in 2007 in order to begin campaigning against legalizing same-sex marriage in California all to avoid being subject to stringent political financial contribution laws. Fred Karger claims that the Mormon Church established the National Organization for Marriage as a false front; claims the LDS insists “have no basis in fact” and ones executive director of the National Organization for Marriage Brian Brown deemed “outlandish.”
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing Corona de Mar High School in California for fostering a “sexist” and “homophobic” environment. The suit is based on the school’s mishandling of a production of Rent, which it first cancelled because of concerns over the play’s frank portrayal of homosexuality and of AIDS, then, only after international outrage erupted, recanted and rescheduled the performances. The suit also mentions a more disturbing incident where three of the school’s football players posted on video on Facebook in which they threatened to rape and kill a fellow female student and where they made homophobic slurs. The ACLU alleges that officials at both the school and the school district did little if anything at all to protect the female student, and failed to discipline the three male students, thereby cultivating a climate of hostility.
The New York Times, as a part of its ongoing one in eight million series that looks at unique stories of New Yorkers, profiles Ra Ruiz, born in Puerto Rican, but raised in the Bronx, who came out and survived homophobia and homelessness, relying on the community of gay homeless youth who call Manhattan’s Christopher Street Piers home, and who is now flourishing as a junior at the New School.
Ellen DeGeneres, after campaigning to be on the cover of O magazine, was told by Miss. Oprah herself that the campaign was successful and that Ellen and she will grace the cover of an upcoming issue.
T.R. Knight was involved in a three car crash Thursday in Los Angeles, and although he only plays a doctor on television, Mr. Knight, not seriously injured, attended to those who were.

Sixth Anniversary Of Iraq Invasion, Unfriendly Fire, President Obama On Gossip Girl, I Love You Philip Morris, LeAnn Rimes Affair Outs Husband, Rosie
Today – March 19th – marks the sixth anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq, and the New York Times reviews Nathanial Frank’s book Unfriendly Fire: How the Gay Ban Undermines the Military and Weakens American, and suggest he demonstrates an
“agility and tough-mindedness” in presented the argument that the policy, which prohibits gays from opening serving in the military is an extraordinary, profound failure.
President Obama ups his popular cultural credence with a cool Gossip Girl reference.
How gay is too gay? The makers of the film I Love You Philip Morris, a comedy and romance starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor might have found out, as the film, which tells the tale of two men who find love in prison, and reportedly includes graphic scenes of gay sex, successfully screened at Sundance in January, but has been unable to find a distributor and is likely to head straight to DVD, because, according to this, the film is too, um, gay.
It is not exactly a surprise, but given the rampant rumors that LeAnn Rimes is having a lurid affair with her co-star Eddie Cibrian, reports are circulating that her “husband” of seven years Dean Sheremet is a pretend heterosexual and the marriage is a charade, which most anyone knew say, seven years ago, all while Dean Twitters his affection.
Rosie O’Donnell, out and about in Miami Thursday lunching with Gloria Estefan and Kathy Griffin, plans to auction off her abstract art in April at the Wentworth Gallery in the fashionable Boca Raton Town Mall, with a portion of the proceeds going to Rosie’s All for Kids charity.

Broadway Honors Natasha Richardson, Clay Aiken On 30 Rock, Ed Westwick Plays Straight, James Franco Without Wisdom, Chad Lindsay, About Nicholas Hoult
At exactly 8:00PM EST, the lights on Broadway will be dimmed for one minute in honor of Tony Award winning actress Natasha Richardson, who died Wednesday of a brain hemorrhage caused by blunt impact when she fell late Monday afternoon after taking a ski lesson in Quebec.
Clay Aiken is confirmed to appear on the May 14th season finale of 30 Rock, although it remains unclear whether he will playing himself, playing a character related to Jack McBrayer’s character Kenneth the page, or playing himself related to Kenneth the page.
The thing about pretend heterosexual Ed Westwick – he just looks so seriously straight.
James Franco might be total hotness, an accomplished actor and a soon to be published author, yet none of that impresses the 2009 graduating class of ULCA students, who have taken to Facebook to protest the selection of Franco as this year’s commence speaker, citing his “wisdom or lack thereof.” Snap!
Chad Lindsay is a subway hero.
Nicholas Hoult, the boy in the film About a Boy and the boy in the British television series Skins, stars in a new play, New Boy, currently breaking ticket sale records in London’s West End.

Stephen Harper Hearts Christians, Minnesota Family Council Saves World From The Gay, Vermont Hearings, Marriage Defined, Marc Jacobs, Dino Izzo Freed
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues his adulterous affair with the religious right, appointing the former public policy director of Evangelical Fellowship Canada to the nation’s Immigration and Refugee Board. Doug Cryer, while directing public policy at the Christian non-profit corporation, was given to making statements against legalizing same-sex marriage and terming homosexuality “sinful,” views that might almost certainly influence decisions regarding applicants applying for refugee status in the county who might be gay.
As if on cue, the Minnesota Family Council, a coalition of Christian behaving decidedly un-Christian, began their campaign to amend the State constitution that would ban marriage except for that between a man and a woman. One of the Minnesota Family Council members, Muslim leader Ikram Ulhuk, insisted the amendment was an act of braver, since, in his words, “if everyone is a gay, the world would cease to exist in ten years.” If anyone has any information on how Mr. Ulhuk arrived at that grammatically incorrect conclusion, could you please contact me?
The public hearings currently underway in Vermont on legislation that will see that state legalize same-sex marriage by as early as September 1st, 2009, drew overflow crowds Wednesday, with hundreds filling the Capital building in Montpelier, who came to testify for and against passage of the bill. Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Dick Sears, a Democrat, said the committee will likely vote on the proposed legislation Friday.
A conservative Christian group, World News Daily, on Tuesday noticed that American based Webster’s Dictionary in 2003 altered the definition of marriage to include “the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of traditional marriage” and that finding did not sit well with the World News Daily lot, who see it as an attack on “the institution that has held families together for millennia.”
Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone have announced their engagement, thereby making Marc one of the luckiest men in the entire world.
Two Calgary police officers – one Dino Izzo and one Rowland Stewart – who were accused in November, 2007 of beating a homeless man while he slept in a stairwell, were found not guilty Wednesday by a Judge George Gaschler, who determined that William John McCormack was trespassing and that the two officers of the law used reasonable force to remove him. The reasonable force demonstrated? During the trial, one half of the dynamic duo, Izzo, admitted that he kicked McCormack lightly on the back of the head to get him to wake up. Yes, that’s right, kicked “lightly” on the back of the head.

Natasha Richadson,William McInerney Found Dead, Rainbow Wristband Ridiculousness, Kevin Spacey, Gossip Girl, Pete Burns, Patrick Wolf
The family of Natasha Richardson has just confirmed that the forty-five year old actress has died from injuries she suffered Monday afternoon, while skiing in Quebec.
William McInerney, the father of fifteen year old Brandon McInerney, accused of killing Lawrence King in February, 2008, was found dead Wednesday morning at his home in Silver Strand, California. According to the coroner, Doctor Janice Frank, his death, the result of blunt force trauma to the head, is being ruled an accident. Frank stated that Mr. McInerney likely fell, and added that alcohol was a contributing factor; he had a long battle with alcoholism. His body was discovered at approximately 7:30AM, PST, by a friend who had come to take him to Brandon’s preliminary hearing.
The American Civil Liberties Union Arizona chapter is threatening legal action against the Peoria Unified School District in the state after a fourteen year old gay eighth-grade student was banned from wearing a rainbow colored wristband that said “Rainbows are Gay.” According to ACLU, certain teachers at the school deemed the message to be offensive.
Kevin Spacey gets distracted by penis.
Rolling Stone magazine covers Gossip Girl, a sneak preview of the article and the accompanying photographs available here. Of particular note is the one of the cast in bed, with pretend heterosexuals Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick far, far away from each other.
Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns is in hospital, in critical condition.
Patrick Wolf, who is about to release the first of two new albums, has created this black and white video for the song Vulture, directed and starring Wolf, and it has been banned almost everywhere for its partial nudity, S&M themes, and sexual suggestiveness (it is sort of NSFW), and yet, like Patrick himself, it is extraordinarily beautiful and original.

Christian Bale, whose ranking in the Hall of Fame of DILF is slipping for a variety of reasons, was seen out and about in Los Angeles Wednesday morning, being all fatherly in his cargo pants and new New Balance sneaks.
Former Real World Star Eric Nies just joined the DILF Hall of Fame with his heroic actions recently in Bear Lake, New York, when Mr. Nies – naked - braved frigid waters to rescue his dog who had wandered onto thin ice in search of ducks.

Another Vancouver Homophobic Attack, United States To Sign UN Gay Accord, Christian Group Lose Right To Ban Gays, Gay Adoption Challenge Proceeds
Yet another hate-motivated attack in Vancouver’s gay community has left a sixty-two year father of two in hospital with massive head injuries that he is not likely to recover from as members of the gay community, police, and politicians struggle to combat what has become an almost routine occurrence in that city’s gay area. Ritchie Dowie was punched in the head at around 8:00 PM Friday night in a bar by thirty-five year old Shawn Woodward, who reportedly kept yelling “faggot” at Dowie. Mr. Dowie hit the tiled floor of bar and was unconscious when emergencies workers arrived. Woodward has been charged with aggravated assault, but police are likely to charge him with committing a hate-crime.
The Associated Press is reporting that the Obama administration intends to sign a United Nations declaration calling for the world-wide decriminalization of homosexuality that former President Bush previously refused to endorse when the document first brought forward in December, 2008.
The Ninth United States Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled Tuesday that the University Of California Hastings College Of Law can deny recognition and funding to a Christian student group because the organization refuses entry to all gay, lesbian, and non-Christian students, in a suit that was brought against the College by the Christian Legal Society.
Pulaski County, Arkansas Circuit Judge Chris Piazza ruled Tuesday that a lawsuit filed by the Arkansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union that challenges a state ban on unmarried couples from adopting merits further consideration and he set a date of December 7th, 2009 as the beginning of two-week trial where arguments on both sides will be heard. The ban, which came into effect January 1st of this year after a voter referendum passed it last November, is widely regarded as way to stop gay couples in the state from adopting.

Gay Marriage Battle Develops In Vermont, West Pointers Come Out, Robert Downey Jr., Zachary Quinto, Ryan Phillippe Reminds Us He Is Ridiculously Sexy
Montpelier, Vermont is ground zero this week in the battle for and against same-sex marriage in the United States, with state legislators initiating public hearings on a bill that proposes to eliminate Vermont’s civil union law – which was the first in the country – with gay marriage beginning September 1, 2009. While proponents of the bill cite the fundamental inadequacies afforded gay couple in a civil union, opponents, mostly from the religious right, argue that elected officials have no mandate to “re-engineer” society.
In a direct and pointed protest of the American military’s policy of don’t ask, don’t tell, which forbids gays from openly serving, thirty-eight graduates of the West Point Military Academy came out Tuesday, forming a support group for gays called Knights Out.

George W. Bush Speaks, But Insists Obama Deserves His Silence, Will Ferrell, Tom Brady Makes Out, Zac Efron, James Franco, Jesse Eisenberg Are Poetic
It’s hard to determine what is more insane: that former President W. Bush was invited to speak in Calgary, his first public speaking engagement since leaving the White House and the office of President in near tatters or this editorial from the continually irrelevant Calgary Herald that dares to suggest that Bush and his doctrine of dangerously divine intervention have made the world a much better place and that his place in history will require time to be fairly judged.
The invitation only luncheon, which cost four-thousand dollars a table, apparently drew just under two-thousand individuals, who heard Bush talk for a little under forty-five minutes, during which he stated that “the world is better off, and the Iraqi are better off with out Saddam, no ifs, ands or buts.” Bush entered the Telus Convention Centre through an underground tunnel connected to his hotel, The Hyatt, to avoid the hundreds of protestors gathered outside, many of whom shouted that Bush should be arrested and the event itself was not open to the media, a part of the contract the organizers were asked to agree to as requested by the former President.
Will Ferrell, much more convincing as George W. Bush than George W. Bush himself, earned HBO its best comedy special ratings in over fiver years Saturday night with the live broadcast of You’re Welcome America, drawing over two million viewers.

West Side Story Revived
West Side Story is my absolute favorite musical of all time: I own both the original Broadway cast recording and the special two disc DVD of the 1961 Academy Award winning film, and yes, I know the lyrics by heart, and yes, I cannot hear Somewhere without falling apart.
Dazzling alive, gloriously hopeful, and romantic, West Side Story has had overcome an unfair reputation that it was in fact a badly dated, laughable, and quaint notion of racism. Written by Arthur Laurents, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, music by Leonard Bernstein, choreographed and directed by Jerome Robbins, West Side Story is in fact a master class of musical theater, peerless from its startling open of snapping fingers and bestial yells to the sad ending that is about as moving as could be imagined.
What’s remarkable about the play is how thoroughly beyond modern it is – the original cast recording featuring Carol Lawrence, Larry Kert, and the great Chita Rivera, incorporates the then new sounds of Latin America and the nascent cool jazz best exemplified by Miles Davis, and using the traditional tenets of musical theater, which it reinvents wildly, creates something that today is still far ahead of its time. I hate words like deconstructive and post-modern – they’re often used to suggest meaning when none is available – but if ever there were pitch perfect example of post-modern it is West Side Story, employing as it does Shakespeare as a source, with ballet and vaudeville added for good measure, incorporating seemingly disparate influences creating something so daringly original it is little wonder the play is so badly misunderstood.
The first revival of the landmark play is currently on Broadway, and New York magazine profiles Arthur Laurents, who cannot resist gossiping madly and somewhat mercilessly, while Vanity Fair imagines a version of West Side Story that features Jennifer Lopez, Chris Evans, Cam Gigandet, Ben Barnes, and Camilla Belle, with wondrous results.

Oklahoma High School Teacher Debora Taylor Fired Over Use Of The Laramie Project, Calgary Protests George W. Bush, Pope Pushes Limits Of Stupidity
Debora Taylor, a teacher at the Grandfield High School, in Tillman County, Oklahoma, was fired last week after she assigned her class The Laramie Project. According to USA Today, Taylor screened the HBO version of the film detailing the town of Laramie, Wyoming, response to the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard to her class in January, and her students were so moved they wanted to film scenes themselves for a school project. A few weeks later, the principal, who had given his permission, cancelled the class. Taylor and her students were upset, and staged a ceremony in a nearby park releasing a number of balloons with their thoughts written across them, as a kind of protest. The district superintendent, one Ed Turlington, cancelled Taylor’s class and recommended she be fired. Taylor tells USA Today she used The Laramie Project as an aid to help students question their beliefs and examine the idea of tolerance.

Bush is in Calgary, Alberta, accepting an invitation to speak for the first time since leaving the office of the Presidency in January; an office he thoroughly corrupted. Varied consortiums of protestors are preparing to greet Bush in ways less than cordial.
The deeply disconnected head of the Roman Catholic Church and former Nazi Pope Benedict XVI, flying to Africa Tuesday for the first time as Pontiff, inexplicably uttered comments that condoms could not fight the war against HIV/AIDS, the virus which continues to ravage that continent, because their use only exacerbates the problem. “You can’t resolve it with the use of condoms,” he said, “on the contrary, it increases the problem.” He’s an idiot and infallible, an odd and rare combination indeed.

Harlow Cuadra Sentenced, Hope For Gay Youth Amid The Manhattan Piers, Alex Rodriguez Dates Himself, Kevin Spacey Still Not Gay, Lohan Glow, Amy Out
Harlow Cuadra, twenty-seven years old, convicted of first-degree murder last Thursday for the brutal stabbing death of forty-four year old Bryan Kocis, was sentenced by a jury Monday to two consecutive life terms in prison with no chance of parole. The eight men and four women who made up the jury were unable to reach a unanimous decision that would have imposed the death penalty. Mr. Cuadra and another, Joseph Kerekes, killed Kocis because the two believed him to be their biggest rival in the gay porn industry. Mr. Kerekes plead guilty to a charge of second-degree murder in December, 2008, and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.
A proposal to create a twenty-four LGBT minority youth center as a part of a the renovation of New York City’s dilapidated piers that run from Battery City Park up along the West Side highway to mid-town is gaining ground.
Alex Rodriguez, gracing rather ungracefully the cover of the April issue of Details, inside talks baseball, his deserved reputation as a player unable to perform when it matters, Madonna, and himself, since, as demonstrated by the accompanying photographs, Mr. Rodriguez, ever the delusional narcissist, loves himself a little too much.
Guess which Academy Award winning actor and Hall of Fame pretend heterosexual was seen out and about Monday night in London with a “mystery male companion?”
The first reviews of Lindsay Lohan’s Sevin Nyne self-tanner line are in, and surprisingly they are, um, glowing.
Amy Winehouse appeared at a London court Tuesday, looking remarkably alive, where she entered a plea of not guilty on charges she assaulted a fan at a charity event last fall. The case has been remanded until July.

Zac Efron Covers Interview, Lindsay Lohan Learns, Bob Dylan, Jesus Lives With Madonna Who Wants To Adopt Again, Christine Quinn, Portia On Ellen
Zac Efron graces the cover of the April Interview (reformatted for the third time in less than a year), which comes out on March 24th, but magazine helpfully offers a sneak peak at the dreamy Efron, and the accompanying interview conducted by Gus Van Sant, with some slightly salacious photographs.
With the whole outstanding warrant whirlwind safely behind her, lovely lesbian Lindsay Lohan was seen attending traffic school in Los Angeles Monday, so you just know the train is back on track.
Bob Dylan, his outhouse, and his very angry Malibu neighbors.
What would Jesus do? He would move in with Madonna.
Madonna, by the way, savior that she is, plans to adopt another Malawi baby.
New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn is both gay and Irish, but since the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade strictly forbids gays from participating, Ms. Quinn has been perpetually placed in an awkward position, but this year, she has been invited to the first annual President Obama White House Saint Patrick’s Day Party, which is personal and political payback writ large.
Ellen DeGeneres, as I posted last week, taped an episode where she welcomed for the first time to the show her wife Portia de Rossi, the segment airing today, which is also the seven month anniversary of their pre-Proposition 8 marriage.

Martina McBride Talks To Out, Kelly Clarkson Talks Too Much, Paltrow Wants Phoenix To Get Credibility, Brazilian Brady, Ronaldo, Marc Jacobs
Martina McBride – long a guilty pleasure – gives her first mainstream gay press interview to Out magazine, and she talks, with typical candor and charm, of drag queens, the need for gay rights, tolerance, her wish for a gay country superstar, and red wine.
Kelly Clarkson, who is still not a lesbian, may want to demonstrate restraint when giving interviews. Clarkson, who was the best thing about this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live, according to OK! Magazine, in the April issue of Blender magazine Clarkson confides that she pees in the shower and checks tissue to see what color her, um, mucus is, all of which sort of destroys any illusions anyone was harboring about anyone ever.
Gwyneth Paltrow proffers words of wisdom almost perpetually and why would she not as she has, after all, won an Academy Award, and she is much better than you or I will ever hope to be. Her most recent advice was given to Hollywood hobo and Miss. Paltrow co-star Joaquin Phoenix, whom Gwyneth suggests, should spend some time in the “projects” – a year or two – to “get some authenticity.” Truly, I want that printed on a tee shirt.
More photographs of Mr. Tom Brady and wife Gisele’s trip to her home of Brazil, with Tommy cutting quite the dashing figure down South American way.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very hot; Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mother in hot pants is not.
Marc Jacobs, in Paris Friday, told his hotness of a man Lorenzo Martone that he “is afraid” when he doesn’t see him, which is either a statement declaring true love or an utterance creepily bordering on a attraction that is fatal.

Anti-Gay Hate In California, Washington, D.C. HIV/AIDS Epidemic, Gainesville, Florida Votes To Repeal Gay Rights, Lohan Free, Tom Brady, Ron Silver
The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that there has been a surge in anti-gay hate crimes in the Santa Clara County area that the Deputy District Attorney links to the passing of Proposition 8. Jay Boyarsky said that “surges in types of hate incidents are linked to headlines and controversies of the day. Marriage equality and Proposition 8 have been in the news, and we have seen an increase in gay-bashing.” According to statistics, in 2008, fifty-eight percent of all hate crimes were anti-gay, up from only fifteen percent in 2007.
A report that was just released Monday morning in Washington, D.C., by Mayor Adrian M. Fenty suggest that three percent of the District residents have HIV or AIDS, totaling a number that constitutes an epidemic; an epidemic according to the District’s health director Pierre Vigilance, that is “on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya.” The number outlined in the report mean that nearly three thousand residents out of every ten-thousand over the age of twelve are infected with the HIV virus, with the largest percentage being African-Americans, followed by gay men, and Latinos.
Early voting begins today in Gainesville, Florida on Charter Amendment 1 which if passed on Tuesday March 24th, will introduce an ordinance adhering to the state’s Civil Rights Act, effectively eliminating anti-discrimination protection the city affords to all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals; an anti-discrimination ordinance that was only passed in January, 2008. If you are to believe the group Citizens for Good Public Policy, who initiated the amendment, the repeal is not meant to be a removal of the rights secured by LGBT community, but that the bill was borne because it guarantees equal access to all public facilities – notably public washrooms – regardless of a person’s gender identity.
Our shared international nightmare is over: Lindsay Lohan is no longer a wanted woman.
Hall of Fame DILF Tommy Brady and new wife Gisele Bundchen were in Brazil over the weekend, with a local newspaper reporting that the two were there to celebrate Gisele’s grandfather’s eight-third birthday. The twosome reportedly ate ice cream, and Brady worked out at a local gym, with training camp for the New England Patriots only months away.
The great, intelligent actor Ron Silver died Sunday. He was 62. As known for his politics as for his acting, Silver appeared on Broadway, in film, and on television, where he starred most memorably to me on Rhoda, as Gary Levy, owner of Gary’s Jeans.
