Gold Mine: That scumbag Joe Francis hasn't been out of jail for 10 minutes and now he's already landed on another pot of gold? Eliot Spitzer hooker Ashley Alexandra Dupre (aka Kristen) apparently got nekkid for "Girls Gone Wild" as an 18-year-old partyer in Miami. (Didn't he already luck out with the whole FDNY Michael Biserta scandal?) (AP)

Sex Tape and the City: Meanwhile, another Kristin -- Davis, aka Charlotte York on "Sex and the City" -- has her reps denying that a sex tape with a suspiciously similar-looking woman is the real deal. (AccessHollywood)

Amazing Grays: I thought Barack Obama's speech yesterday was eloquent, heartfelt and moving. As a civil rights speech I give it a 10. As a political speech? The jury is still out. But I think Maurren Dowd is on to something with this assessment: The candidate may have staunched the bleeding, but he did not heal the wounds. His naive and willful refusal to come to terms earlier with the Rev. Wright’s anti-American, anti-white and pro-Farrakhan sentiments -- echoing his naive and willful refusal to come to terms earlier with the ramifications of his friendship with sleazy fundraiser Tony Rezko -- will not be forgotten because of one unforgettable speech. (Maureen Dowd) (The full transcript can be read here.)

Crime and Punishment: In Austin, Texas, a veteran police commander has been suspended for 20 days for demonstrating "personal bias" toward gay officers and a second commander who did not report the remark and then refused to take a suspension for it has been fired. (365Gay)

Hybrid Cats: And I thought Larry was a handful. (CNN)

AARPresident: That John McCain doesn't know a Sunni from a hole in his ass. (Naturally that traitor Joe Lieberman was the one who bailed him out) (Reuters)

Another Tale From the City: Since Saturday’s collapse of a towering construction crane on the East Side of Manhattan, attention has understandably focused on the central and spectacular details, on the lives lost, the 22-story crane that toppled, the building that was demolished. But in New York’s tightly packed urban grid, even a calamity of such magnitude may be punctuated with sights that people find curious and strange. (NYT)

RIP: Oscar-winning writer/director Anthony Minghella ("The English Patient" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley") has died at 54 years of age of a brain hemorrhage after a medical procedure to treat tonsil cancer. (FilmExperience)
