Jerked Around: The D.C. court of appeals ruled Thursday that the city can use its powers of eminent domain to evict several land owners on a site for which it has signed a lease to build a new stadium for the Washington Nationals major league baseball team. That space includes several gay clubs, including Wet and La Cage aux Follies. What a bummer. Looks like the next time I'm in town and in the mood to jerk off a skank on a stage, I'm gonna have to come up with another venue. (Advocate)

His Heart Goes Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang: Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns says that he plans to marry his boyfriend, Michael Simpson, in a civil partnership in Britain.
