More D-List Drama: Comedian Kathy Griffin's former "main gay" and current star of "Fashion House," Tony Tripoli, is spilling the beans about his breakup with the feisty redhead in the new issue of Frontiers, and let's just say it ain't a pretty view from that D-List house in the hills. (Frontiers)

Harsh Reality: The news that Anna Nicole Smith's young son Daniel had died while visiting her at the hospital where she recently gave birth to a girl is absolutely horrible. No woman should ever have to experience the loss of a child. The cause of death remained a mystery as of last night, although I have to say that I'm surprised that he hadn't died of embarrassment years ago. (AP)

The Sun Devil in Me: It seems students at my alma mater Arizona State University are seeking to expand a program dedicated to increasing campus awareness and acceptance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. SafeZONE is a program that helps fight stereotyping and discrimination through education. When I went there in the '80s the only program we had was getting trashed at the beer bust a Nu Town and cruising Papago Park. (AP)

Sour Note: The infamous Naked Cowboy who sings and plays guitar in Times Square has set his sights on trying to get a recording deal, yet he still walks around in tighty whities. False advertising hardly seems like the way to musical stardom. (AP)

The Talented Mr. Damon: There's a nice piece on the remarkably low-profile Matt Damon in today's Times, something Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck might wanna take a cue from. And here's one of my favorite parts: From some angles, with that stub of a nose and a flop of blond, he can look like Dennis the Menace. Cut the hair and he just looks like a menace. (NYT)

The Fluffer: The Montgomery County, Maryland, public school system's new condom video is getting positive reviews from some unexpected quarters. Members of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, one of two groups that sued to block the original condom video from being shown to 10th-graders in Maryland's largest school system, say they are pleased with a new version that they think takes a more "clinical approach" to condom instruction. "You don't have a cute little blonde and a cucumber,'' said Michelle Turner, president of CRC. "It's not MTV. It's very factual and clinical. There are no frills or fluff.'' But I thought you needed fluff to get this show on the road. (WP)
