Page 1 Consider (03/24)

  • End Game: There were a lot of sexy photos from the practice courts in Indian Wells this month. Ironically, this shirtless set of Novak Djokovic had me looking nowhere near his pecs. (Forty Deuce)

  • Anchor Landmine?: I've always admired Christiane Amanpour, with her snooty accent and glamourous globe-trotting assignments. But apparently not everyone thinks JFK Jr.'s BFF from Brown deserves the chair of ABC's "This Week," and it's getting ugly. (Shales on TV)

  • Music to My Ears: The Brill Building, the Times Square sweatshop where Goffin, King, Diamond and many others churned out hits back in the day, is now a city landmark. The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted Tuesday to designate the building. (City Room)

  • Legal Wrangling: Same-sex marriage advocacy groups on Tuesday signaled they plan to file an emergency appeal of a federal judge's order requiring them to release documents from the political campaign against Proposition 8 as part of the ongoing legal challenge to California's ban on gay nuptials. (SJMercuryNews)

  • Here Come the Brides: As same-sex marriages become legal in more states, butch lesbians are finding dressing for the occasion is more difficult than it looks: "The advent of the Internet helped, with personal blogs like the Sartorial Butch; Ellen DeGeneres and Rachel Maddow helped by being Ellen DeGeneres and Rachel Maddow." Monica Hesse digs deeper into the little-discussed issue. (WaPo)

  • You Said Soften (Huh-Huh): Reuters reports that the Pentagon, ahead of any repeal of the U.S. military's ban on gays in its ranks, will likely announce steps this week that may soften the blow on homosexuals affected by the "don't ask, don't tell" law. They said "blow." Huh-huh. (Reuters)

  • Steal My Heart: The new film "Stolen" looks very dark and depressing. But with Josh Lucas, Jon Hamm and James Van Der Beek starring, I may not be able to resist. (USA Today)

  • Rough 'Justice': A judge in Mississippi has ruled that the prom ban violated Constance McMillen's rights, but then he did nothing about it? (Huffington Post)

  • Wild About Hairy: Inspired by my recent Morning Wood post of Peter Speach, the blog SquareHippies took it one step further, with both THEN and NOW shots of the onetime Playgirl pinup HERE.

  • Face, Interrupted: Now that these previously unreleased "modeling" shots of a 15-year-old Angelina Jolie have surfaced to be auctioned, who wants to diagram the facial reconstruction that homewrecking nut has had? (ProfilesInHistory)

  • The Times Are A-Changin': W Magazine has a new editor in chief, Mr. Stefano Tonchi. (Media Decoder)

  • The 'Mod' Squad: Donna Freydkin catches up with Eric Stonestreet, 38, who plays the flashy and affectionate Lion King-loving, Fizbo the clown-moonlighting Cameron Tucker, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, 34, who plays the tightly wound and Fizbo-loathing lawyer Mitchell Pritchett, from TV's "Modern Family." (USA Today)

  • Not So Fly: Mike Hale doesn't think too much of "Fly Girls," the new flight-attendant reality show premiering tonight on the CW. But I'll still tune in to see my BFF-for-the-night Farrah Williams in all her narrator glory. (NYT)
