Page 1 Consider (06/06)

  • Probing Journalism: This month's Details has an in-depth piece on "guys everyone thinks are gay," no matter how much evidence exists "to the contrary." I'm trusting that being a Details reader would not fall into the category of exculpatory evidence. (Details)

  • Mixed Doubles: I watched the premiere of CBS' new '70s swingers show, "Swingtown," and I really liked it. It was the pilot episode so it was mostly setting things up and introducing the characters, but I can already tell it has a lot of potential and the look and feel of 1976 is captured to a T. I was always happy to see that in addition to Grant Show, sexy Josh Hopkins of "Jack & Jill" and "Pepper Dennis" fame is on it, as uptight Janet's hubby, Roger. (ShowBuzz)

  • East Meets West: Well, it had to happen eventually. The "real" housewives of the County of Orange were bound to cross paths with the "real" housewives of Manhattan the boroughs of New York City and you just knew the fur was gonna fly. (DailyIntel)

  • Just Cheese It! The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ordered a conservative pastor to pay $87,000 in legal fees to a gay rights group he accused of defaming him, dismissing the suit as "frivolous." (365Gay)

  • Ready for Lunch: What better way to raise awareness about the dangers of malaria than endangering yourself? (NYT)

  • Add Her to the List: Harvard University president Drew Gilpin Faust chose an ROTC ceremony to take a veiled swipe at "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", the ban on gays serving openly in the military. (Boston)

  • Service With a Smile: David Beckham serves up sex appeal at Gordon Ramsay's new restaurant in Beverly Hills. (OhLaLa)

  • Double Standard: Lesbian kiss at the ballpark fires up gay-friendly Seattle. (I'm guessing there wasn't enough "lipstick" involved.) Real nice. (AP)

  • Film Pick: A.O. Scott says "You Don’t Mess With the Zohan" is the finest post-Zionist action-hairdressing sex comedy he's ever seen. (And I hate to admit it, but it does look kind of hilarious.) (NYT)
