Lesbian fitness lady Jackie Warner is feeling the wrath of disapproving sponsors.
Warner and one of her staff came under fire last week after having a laugh about a client’s breast, which was made worst when people learned that the breasts in question had beat breast cancer. The incident led many homos to label her a “negative icon.” Now Gatorade’s pulling out from Warner’s Bravo show, Work Out:
Tricky pronouns might have done John Edwards in on MSNBC this morning. After Edwards told the hosts at Morning Joe that whoever got his vote would get his endorsement, they were trying desperately to get Edwards to tell them who he voted for in North Carolina’s primary. He attempted to play coy, until he accidentally spilled the beans by saying, “I just voted for him Tuesday.”
Robert Gant’s a rarity in Hollywood. First of all, he went to law school. Second, he’s openly gay. And, as testament to our changing times, continues to get work.
The handsome 39-year old will soon appear in the here! network’s Kiss Me Deadly, on which Gant plays the first gay spy whose post-espionage life goes haywire after the return of an old friend, Shannen Doherty. The movie will hopefully be the first in a series, but Gant’s not sitting on his honches. He’s also just wrapped Special Delivery, a Lifetime movie in which Lisa Edelstein plays his love interest. Yes, a gay man’s playing straight: a growing - and welcome - in Hollywood.
Gant recently sat down with our editor to discuss the ins-and-outs of being homo in Hollywood, not being perfect and why Gant loves his life.
It was a big week for Mariah Carey — she lost her single status and her No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. In her defense, there was really no competing with Madonna’s Hard Candy.

Craig Ferguson, truly the most underrated talk show host on television, will release a book of memoirs in 2009 entitled American on Purpose. In it, Ferguson will recount his sundry jobs along the years, his voyage from Scotland musician to American host and his various battles with drug and alcohol addiction. It sounds too heartwarming for us, but good for him.
Like old Madonna, Pete Wentz owes at least part of his career to the gays.
The bent boys are always fawning over this over-hyped singer, who once showed his penis to the world and confessed that he would - gasp! - kiss a boy. Not one to ignore his biggest fans, Wentz gave the gays some more love last night at his bar, Angels & Kings.
What would you do if hunky homo-journo Thomas Roberts hiked you out into the wilderness? Whatever it is, we bet you didn’t think “Interview him!”
Well, that’s what The Advocate’s Sean Kennedy did - fool! - and got the 35-year old to open up on about his very public exit from CNN. Contrary to rumors, says Roberts, he was not fired suspiciously close to coming out. His contract was over and, you know, he had personal shit.
Girl! The gloves came off last night as undeclared Democrat Donna Brazile, her hair from the future and magenta lipstick ripped into Clinton-backer Paul Begala.

The problem with the term “beautiful girl” is that girls are rarely, if ever, beautiful. Girls are pretty and girls are cute — and that’s fine because there’s a time and place for cute (the age 16 and prom, respectively) — but they’re not beautiful. Women are beautiful. Women are sexy.
We’re reminded of how many people ignore that important distinction around this time every year: the lad mag “Hot List” season, when Maxim et al group together the names of every sad, drunk, Botoxed, sutured, bleached, commodified and infected girl in Hollywood and try to pretend the resultant stable has sex appeal. We’re sick of it, so we’ve compiled our own lineup of truly beautiful women.
Time’s annual list of the World’s 100 Most Influential People is out, and Tyler Perry, Jacob Zuma (president of the African National Congress), Chris Rock, Herbie Hancock, Mariah Carey, Mo Ibrahim (Sudanese-British mobile communications mogul), Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey made the cut. Check out the full list here. Who do you think was overlooked? Who doesn’t belong? All I know is, if one of the world’s most influential people is also the sort of person who marries a two-bit comedic actor/rapper after knowing him for a month, then I’m scared for the world.
Hillary Clinton took to The Late Show with David Letterman last night so she could read the Top Ten list in a last-ditch effort to garner some votes. CONTINUED »
Gossip Girl last night aired a pretty satisfying coming out episode.
As we all already know, Serena’s super-little brother Erik found his way out of the closet - and with predictably sensational results.
Like a mutating beast, New York’s ever-evolving. And the art scene’s no different.
With the opening of the new New Museum on the Bowery, our Lower East Side’s again becoming an epicenter for urban artistic activity. Gallerists Dennis Christie and Ken Tyburski couldn’t resist the pull and recently unveiled their DCKT Contemporary’s new location just down the famed road from the Museum.
R Kelly, the reprehensible genius behind the Trapped in the Closet series and a plethora of songs about having sex with things, is facing mounting evidence in his child pornography trial, which will begin jury selection later this week.
The singer is facing a host of charges stemming from a video said to portray him having sex with and urinating on a 13-year-old girl. Though the alleged victim of Kelly’s abuse — now 23 — has for years denied a sexual relationship with Kelly, a new female witness for the prosecution will reportedly admit to having a threesome with Kelly and the underage girl.
The GLAAD Media Awards may be causing some residual drama.
Cable channel Bravo paid an unspecified sum to air the entire event next month, but a reader speculated that queer-centric Logo, an MTV property, decided to play a little game of “gotcha” with the awards.
Mollygood’s eternally optimistic editor, Cord Jefferson, has admitted that he “can’t imagine a bigger nightmare than being on a reality TV show,” which makes me want to sign him up for one behind his back. Just imagine the breakdowns, the rants, the binge drinking — it would be glorious.
It’s a battle of the beautiful titans in the most recent edition of Out.
In celebration of their annual Hot Issue, the editorial team scoured some of New York’s greatest modeling agencies, plucked some pretty men, dressed them in some hot designers and have pitted them against one another.
JOB WELL DONE It is official. George W. Bush is the most unpopular president in modern history, or at least since we’ve been taking approval polls. A whopping 71 percent of Americans think Bush sucks. Just 71 percent? CONTINUED »
The New York Times enterprise story on how media networks have been exploited by military analysts currying favor with the government received, um, no attention from the media.
Well, okay, a analysis of media coverage found two mentions of the story, and both were during the April 24 edition of PBS’ NewsHour.
So how come nobody has picked up what was arguably one of the biggest exposes of White House blunders? CONTINUED »
