Oooo, girl! The claws come out in Sunday's New York Times magazine, in which Yves Saint Laurent creative director Stefano Pilati rips his predecessor, Tom Ford.
Of course, the fashion world's always kneeling down for Ford, who would do it himself if he knew how. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the ceaseless praise doesn't necessarily make him the best designer. Not in Pilati's eyes, at least:
In what was described as the most important moment of his life, Barack Obama officially accepted the Democratic Party's presidential nomination last night.
While some people were seeking one of Obama's soaring, rhetoric-filled speeches, last night's showing spelled out his presidential plans as he told the roaring crowd he would "restore America's promise." And, yes, it was inspiring.
Everyone, listen up!
This is a warning: if you see a lactating Demi Moore coming your way, you must either run or prepare to get wet.
Christopher Ciccone, brother of Madonna and lover of the media teet, claims the acclaimed actress once shot her breast milk at him and his lesbian friends at a party.
His lawyers, however, wouldn't let him include that unverifiable (bullshit?) tale in his recent tell-all:
Rumor has it that MSNBC newsman Chris Matthews will run for senate once his contract runs out.
Seizing on those rumors, Philadelphia Gay News publisher Mark Segal asked Matthews about his stance on gay marriage. After eschewing the question - what would Matthews do about the defense of marriage act - Matthews went into a valid tirade about freedom, which could come across as support.
Segal, however, wanted specifics. What he received were expletives:
Now that they've tied the knot, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have finally made it - to the cover of People. The tabloid will release some exclusive shots from the lady's wedding this Friday.
The time has come! Ellen DeGeneres and lady love Portia de Rossi will reportedly tie the knot this weekend:
There are treasure troves of art and there are castles full of priceless antiques…and then there’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
We’re not telling you anything new, of course. Taking up more than one city block, holding court on 79th street, above Central Park, and featured in countless media, almost everyone in the Western world has caught wind of the Met. We were a little surprised, then, that the venerable institution held an after-hours party exclusively for the gays, complete with top shelf booze, Britney Spears remixes and loads of attractive young gents. And, as the pink icing, they managed to wrangle out City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, around whom a flurry of security and lackeys swooned. So, what gives?
Our gay brother Queerty didn't get any video, but they've obtained plenty of Perez Hilton and Jonathan Jaxson's naughty transcript. Plus a bit of NSFW pictorial action. Enjoy!
So on Friday night we decided to see The Witnesses, a movie about gays and straights in France at the beginning of the AIDS crisis.
Stephen Holden said:
The Witnesses sidesteps most of its opportunities for high drama, political sermonizing and the jerking of tears. …
The Witnesses may frustrate those who prefer movies that tell clear-cut stories in which hard lessons are learned. But in the director’s farsighted vision of life, the ground under our feet is always shifting. As time pulls us forward, the shocks of the past are absorbed and the pain recedes. In its light-handed way, The Witnesses is profound.
Not true. The Witnesses was heavy-handed and vaguely retarded. And because we don’t believe in suspense as a plot device, guess what? The straight people in the movie aren’t affected by AIDS crisis. Just like in real life. (We kid!)
Anyway, at the theater we saw former mayor Ed Koch.
A friend of ours once postulated: “Everyone you think is gay is, and some people you don’t think are gay are gay, too.”
Just saying.
To the untrained eye, the January/February issue of Details might appear to be gay-free. No mention of dudes who enjoy watching their wives enjoy a Mandingo. Nothing about all gay men being stylish. And you already know the back page no longer features "Gay or …?"
Except then you spot Zac Efron, who's not "gay or ___" anything. He just is.
Take a sip of coffee and prepare to spit out. Josh Duhamel and Fergie are engaged. Shocking, right?
We always thought Duhamel was a little too attractive to be into Fergie, or women in general. But there’s nothing like an engagement to a more famous person to quell sexuality rumors.

Well, it was a nice run. Two weeks after returning to radio, Don Imus already ticked off the gays. Yesterday, he asked the afternoon drive guy Jay Severin if he was gay because he didn’t like Mike Huckabee. [Ed: What’s gay about hating thinned out fat people?]
And this is with the delay. Imus is back, baby!

• Incarcerated diva Foxy Brown reportedly insists on accessorizing her prison jumpsuit with designer footwear. Next up for the snotty Rikers inmate: A tattoo on her forehead that says "Rape me in the shower, please!"
• Apparently, the gays don't really care much for former fatty Mike Huckabee. Then again, they're just a bunch of dirty HIV carriers who should be isolated from society and summarily destroyed.
• Watch this crappy montage of Neel Shah unsuccessfully hitting on a barrage of women! Because, in a way, there's nothing funnier than a silly man in a Mr. Rogers' cardigan attempting to brand himself as an ethnic Lothario.
• Meanwhile, watch as these stock photographs of Amy Winehouse awkwardly spliced together to the tune of "Love is a Losing Game" tell the story of small, strangely coiffed woman who can't be trusted to breathe, speak or move on her own.
Have you heard? Presidential hopeful (and former Gov.) Mike "The 'Compassionate Conservative'" Huckabee apparently isn't so compassionate after all! At least, not towards our gay brethren, whom he would love to see rounded up, deported to some remote island and summarily abandoned/destroyed. That is, if he's elected president.
THEN (Vintage Huckabee, circa 1992):
It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population…If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague.
NOW (Huckabee clarifies his stance on Don't Ask, Don't Tell):
I agree with the leadership of our military, who believe it is not in the best interest of the armed forces to have homosexuals serving on active duty. I believe to try to legitimize that which is inherently illegitimate would be a disgraceful act of government. I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk.
Congratulations. You've come a long way, baby.
There Are Plenty Of Fish In The Sea: "American singer Patti LaBelle sure does have a way with words," writes our gay younger brother. "And a myopic understanding of vaginal hygiene." The subject of his philosophical musings? A recent quote from Patti LaBelle reaffirming her heterosexuality, and indirectly revealing her uncensored views on cunnilingus. Says LaBelle: "When I got my divorce, the women jumped on me like white on rice! I said, ‘Look, I ain’t ever did fish, I don’t intend to do fish so leave me alone.'" Hear that, ladies? Back off. And keep your hands (and your fishy-smelling ladyparts) to yourselves.
The Chelsea gays are boring Mike Bloomberg, and the Williamsburg gays aren’t his style either. In fact, he’s tired of all gay New Yorkers. He wants gay tourists, and the city has embarked on an advertising campaign to lure them in.
NYC & Company, the city’s tourism agency, took out a three-page spread in the December/January issue of Out, placed spots on Logo and has launched a $30 million, 19-country initiative to attract international gays to New York.
Well the return of Broadway probably won’t hurt the mayor’s initiative.
On the 14th anniversary of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," we've decided to pay tribute to the "soft" ban on gays in the military by quoting noted comedian/social anthropologist, Chris Rock:
Gays in the military. Everybody's all homophobic – "Ooh, don't let him in.." Hey! If they want to fight, let 'em fight. 'Cause I ain't fighting! I wouldn't care if I saw a Russian tank on Flatbush Avenue. I'm not fighting nobody.
So even for those of you who don't contest the act because, on principle, legislating someone's version of morality is tantamount to perpetuating discrimination? Contest the act out of pure, unadulterated selfishness.
From Queerty: "MTV-owned Logo announced they’ll air a series called Transamerican Love Story, which stars trans actress, Calpernia Addams."
With luck, this will go far more smoothly than the similarly premised Britain show, There’s Something About Miriam, where producers neglected to, as our gay younger brother put it, "tell contestants of Miriam’s 'something.'"
Psssst! Have you heard the latest (unsubstantiated) rumors about the always-gargantuan, and sometimes-philanthropic Kimora Lee Simmons?
