Page 1 Consider (09/08)


  • Suri Klein? When Perez is right, he's right. (PerezHilton).

  • Golden Girl: Mr. Ellen Degeneres has been tapped to host next year's Oscars. Last night I happened upon a strange, little-seen film of hers from 1998 called "Goodbye Lover" (fitting title for that year, huh?). Dermot Mulroney, Patricia Arquette, Mary-Louise Parker and Don Johnson are all mixed up in a love triangle square that turns deadly and Ellen is the cynical detective on the case (who teases her uptight partner about "seeming gay" to her!). It's the weirdest film I've ever seen -- sort of film noir meets bad TV sitcom -- but it was oddly fun to watch. (AP)

  • The Kings of Queens: A television show hosted by and featuring "ex-gays," including a former prostitute and a self-confessed thief (aren't all the gays both of these things?), is preparing for its launch on two Christian networks. Further proof that the conversion therapy doesn't work: only two big queens would want to star in a talk show called "Pure Passion." (Advocate)



  • Pretty Fly for White Guys: The pretty-boy cast featuring Martin Henderson, James Franco and David Ellison has me wanting to see this World War I film "Flyboys." Especially the James Franco part. (Yahoo)

  • Gay Rights Terminated: A bill passed by California lawmakers would have prohibited the use of language in school textbooks that is discriminatory toward gays, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to sign it. Schwarzenegger said Wednesday that the state's education laws already prevent discrimination and that the bill "would not strengthen this important area of legal protection from bias based on sexual orientation." (AP)



  • Jackie O Slept Here: Eothen, the a 20-acre estate in Montauk that Andy Warhol and his manager and film collaborator at the time, Paul Morrissey, bought for about $225,000 in 1971 is for sale for $40 million. Yet despite its celebrated past and star-studded neighbors, no one's buying. (NYT)

  • She Was Pretty Hot, But Still: Three men charged with attempting to rob a grave Saturday in Cassville, Wisconsin, were doing so because one of the men had seen the dead woman's obituary photo and wanted to have sex with her body. The men had stopped at a Wal-Mart and bought condoms before heading to the cemetery, police said. Check out the perps here and the obituary that started it all here. (Wisconsin State Journal)

    Thanks for bringing the story about those necrophiliacs in Wisconsin to my attention, Kenneth. Creepy! I didn't think that there were so few single women there in Cassville! And condoms? WTF?

    I posted a link to the story in that newspaper on my MySpace blog. I mentioned that I read it here first and told people to check out your blog as well. :-)

    Martin Henderson is the hottest, IMHO.
