NBC News: It's always rubbed me the wrong way how gay characters on television always seem to end up having sex with women. (When Jodie Dallas wasn't busy plotting his "sex change" operation he was bedding every chick on "Soap," and even Matt Bomer got some pussy on "Mid-Century Modern" ... in 2025.) But if Barry Diller's way of finally coming out as gay is to announce that he has a completely satisfying romantic and sexual relationship with wife Diane von Furstenberg, far be it for me to criticize. Maybe this phenomenon is more common than I realize, even if I've never come across it once in real life in my nearly 40 years of gaydom. (And sorry, but unlike Diller, David Gest, Joshua Sasse, Jim Hart, Mr. Garbiñe Muguruza et al., not even celebrity diva worship could get this homo going in the boudoir.)

Hot Cat of the Day: It's easy for me to remember the day I officially went out on my own -- became an adult? -- because I left Phoenix for Los Angeles on May 5, 1990. My heart was broken in 17 places and job prospects in Arizona were grim, so I packed up my VW Rabbit and crashed with my friend Mark until I could get a place of my own. A job at the Orange County Register came quickly. But my desire to live in New York City prevented me from ever feeling truly at home, so three years later I headed East -- first to Washington and then finally to Manhattan -- and have been at home ever since.

Picture This: Michael Des Barres shared this photo from legendary music producer Mike Chapman's recent wedding, with the caption:

Clearly in the presence of the brilliant Debbie Harry is rock ‘n’ roll at its finest. We were both at Mike Chapman and his beautiful wife Maddy‘s wedding party in London a few weeks ago. It was lovely to see London again and to be in the presence of two people who love each other…

And author Alan Edwards writes:

Accompanying the wonderful Deborah Harry to Mike and Maddy Chapman's wedding at St. James Palace chapel this weekend.

Debbie famously referred to Chapman in a 1999 interview as being a "dictator"(!).
