Page 1 Consider (04/09)

  • Lost in Translation: Is "Entourage" for straight men what "Sex and the City" was for straight women gay men? When I first heard about it I was totally on board. Then I watched a few episodes and just didn't buy that Adrian Grenier could be a movie star -- much less a heartthrob -- and I completely lost interest. Meanwhile I hear the straight guys at work talk about this show for hours on end, raving about it. Am I missing something? (WP)

  • Majorhomo Hater: The Army recruiter who sent anti-gay and racist rants to a Jersey City, N.J., job seeker via e-mail has been suspended from recruiting and is under investigation by the military. (Advocate)

  • Out Fox? Don't naughty girls need love too? (AHN)

  • Taking My Reality TV Addiction, One Day at a Time: Every time I swear I will never sit through another episode of "Celebrity Fit Club" they suck me back in again! This time it's my '70s sitcom fave Valerie Bertinelli, who wants to lose 30 pounds off of her 5'2" frame. Bertinelli, who turns 47 this month, vows to go from a size 14 to a size 8, by September. Going public with her goal "is the motivation I need," Bertinelli says. "I need to do this in front of millions of people so I can't mess up." I'll be there watching, Miss Cooper. (People)

  • Disney Dreams: You can't exactly have a fairy tale wedding without the fairies, can you? (AP)

  • Growing Pains: A tug-of-war is emerging at some black colleges, where students say outdated rules and homophobia block them from forming the gay campus voice common at majority white institutions. At Hampton University, in Virginia, where rules govern everything from overnight guests to student dress, officials insist they don't discriminate against gays. They say they're simply enforcing the regulations on student groups, and there just isn't space for another one. (AP)

  • Gary Glitter: Lock this predator up and throw away the key. (Reuters)

  • Bases Loaded: Fatherhood must be agreeing with Oakland A's designated (hottie) hitter Mike Piazza. He's looking awful fit in his this season, probably from all of the extra running around taking care of newborn daughter Nicoletta Veronica Piazza, who was born on Feb. 5 in New York City. Piazza's wife is former "Baywatch" star Alicia Rickter. (People)
