· I hope you enjoy this Oprah Winfrey Show roundtable on the state of gay affairs. You only have to endure two minutes of Nate Berkus yammering on about himself to get to the interesting part, when Oprah and Hugh Jackman -- i.e. the most gay-rumored mega-celebrities on the planet, besides a certain sofa-trampolining superstar -- address the lavender whispers. (Side note: Hugh Jackman's tanning regime has him inching perilously close to some kind of latino blackface. Tread carefully, my little bronzed mutant.)
· Good news for fans of Fox's Fringe and its syphilitic antiheroines, of which I am one (a fan, not a syphilitic antiheroine): the network has given the show an early second-season pickup.
· A bold, camcorder-wielding TMZ centurion almost had the stones to ask Adam Lambert point-blank if he's gay. "You could be the first...Right? American Idol winner?" Lambert's response is pretty great, as is the look on the face of the girl with a shoelace tied around her head.
· Denise Richards treated Cubs fans to a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" that I can only imagine resulted in her being pelted moments later with 12,000 half-eaten hot dogs.
· A fan ran onto the stage and freaked the crap out of Officer Britney Spears at a concert in Connecticut. It's at the 2:15 mark of this video. Poor Britney. Can't she sleepwalk through choreography and mouth the words to a terrible song without being accosted by some obsessed freak?
