Page 1 Consider (01/26)

  • O & Ro: I have just one complaint -- albeit a HUGE one -- about Oprah's interview with Rosie O'Donnell yesterday. Why couldn't it go on forever? (I laughed, I cried, I laughed and cried some more.) Rosie told Oprah that she plays a central role in the movie of her life, only Oprah doesn't realize she's been cast in it. Here's the thing, Ro: you do the same thing for me, and I'm sure so many other LGBTers. The stuff about fame and Barbra Walters and rage and Columbine ... I sure hope everyone got to see it. There's really something truly magical about two bright, powerful women sharing a stage. It made me wish I'd had a big sister growing up. (Oprah)

  • Web Mates: There's a nice interview with blogger Andy Towle HERE, and ChartRigger -- my favorite music blog -- celebrates its five-year anniversary with a fun timeline of events. The 2005 entry is up HERE.

  • The Best a Man Can Get? OK, I wouldn't kick him out of bed for shaving. But I'm still not happy about Mark Sanchez's post-loss look. (NYT)

  • Would Sue Sylvester Approve? The blogosphere is buzzing that Jane Lynch is marrying her long-term lesbian lover. (SFGate)

  • Defenseless: The defense team in the Prop 8 trial got under way on Monday, and it was a ridiculous as you would imagine. (Advocate)

  • Dim All the Lites? Sad news from the outer boroughs: the Starlite Lounge, a hot spot that has been a quiet part of Brooklyn's gay history since 1970, may be forced to close by the building's management. (NYT)

  • Judge Crazy: This new Nancy Grace show sounds really awful. No wonder they're having to give it away. (NYT)

  • 'Sun' Shiners: SUNfiltered blogger Dennis Lim shares his Top 10 gay-themed films from the Sundance Film Festival (all years) HERE. “Gay-themed movies have always been well-represented at the festival: Rob Epstein's 'The Times of Harvey Milk' took home the documentary prize at the inaugural 1985 edition (it went on to win an Oscar), and Epstein is back this year with one of the dramatic competition's most anticipated films: "Howl," about the Allen Ginsberg obscenity trial and starring James Franco as the gay poet.” Read Lim's review of "Howl" HERE.

  • Little Ali: Although I was kinda rooting for underdog Nicolas Almagro of Spain, you gotta, um, admire Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for winning his first-ever five-set match. (Tennis Served Fresh)
