Desperate Househusbands: The erstwhile ABC drama "Desperate Housewives" has signed Kevin Rahm ("Judging Amy") and Tuc Watkins ("One Life to Live") to play Wisteria Lane's first gay couple. Watkins will play Bob, described as a country mouse who leaves the big city for greener (and quieter) pastures. Rahm is his bitchy partner, Lee. BGay reports that the characters' names are a tribute to ABC News' Bob Woodruff and his wife Lee, whom series creator Marc Cherry befriended last spring. I've never watched this poor-man's "Sex and the Suburbs," but this latest plot twist has desperation written all over it. (BGay)

No Laughing Matter: YouTube wants to question Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert as part of its defense against claims that the online video-sharing site illegally shows snippets of sports and entertainment videos. I don't think this is going to bode well for Viacom, the owner of the two men's Comedy Central shows, because you frequently hear Stewart and Colbert makes snide comments about how ridiculous it is that their clips are pulled off of YouTube. I think they feel, as many of us do, that the visibility on YouTube is like free advertising for them. (AP)

What a Drag: As if on cue Rudy Giuliani -- who famously moved in with friends who are a gay-male-couple following his separation from Donna Hanover back in his mayoral years -- is suddenly losing support for same-sex civil unions. (Towleroad)

Mapping the Face: Just in time for my 40th birthday, new research into how the face stores fat could lead to more effective anti-aging strategies, better facial reconstruction techniques, and may even help doctors assess heart-disease risks. (Newsweek)

Pedophile Blogger: That pervert who blogs about his sexual fantasies about young girls but claims he never follows through on them was arrested Monday in Los Angeles near a university child care center. I'm so jealous: This is going to be so great for his traffic. (AP)
