Page 1 Consider (03/13)



  • Oceans 11.5 Cut: Brad Pitt is rumored to have landed his dream gay love story. The actor is said to have been lined up for a part in "The Front Runner," a film about a gay love affair between a male track coach and a team member, based on a novel by Patricia Nell Warren. This would be Pitt's second big gay part, the first being nailing Angelezzie Jolie. (PinkNews)

  • Advertising Their Feelings: After "Brokeback Mountain" lost the best picture Oscar to "Crash," more than 800 fans -- participants in an online discussion group -- known as the Ultimate Brokeback Forum -- chipped in more than $24,000 to buy a full-page ad in Daily Variety. The ad, which ran Friday, thanked the makers of the movie "for transforming countless lives through the most honored film of the year." I'm guessing there was an Urban Outing to celebrate the ad, too. (NYT)


  • White Rabbit: Jefferson Airplane's old pilot Grace Slick is alive and kicking -- and making ends meet by impersonating Susan Powter. (MSNBC)

  • Justice for Imette: Blood found on the plastic ties used to bind Imette St. Guillen has been matched to a bouncer at the bar where she was last seen alive. An indictment will be sought this week. (NBC

  • Dick Shine: Hate-crimes provisions struck from House bill. I'm sure Dick Armey is thrilled watching on C-Span back home in NortDakotaka and screaming "You lose again, Barney Fag!" at the television set. (OutQ)
  • Blow Out: Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin says he will seek Senate Censure of George Bush because "the president has broken the law, and, in some way, he must be held accountable." Now I'm confused. Isn't asking the president not to violate the Constitution just liberalese for "embolden the enemy"? And I haven't heard a single person suggest that Bush got sucked off in the run-up to the war in Iraq. (AP)
