Crowning Achievement: When I read that the new Miss America was from Michigan and had an eating disorder I had to stop for a second and think, Did I win? (AP)

Thx 4 Nothing: If you can't advertise for a hit man to kill your married lover's wife on Craigslist then where can you? (AP)

Gay for Pay: Be sure to check out Perry and Casey's homoerotic photo shoot from Bravo's latest reality offering, "Make Me a Superhomo Supermodel." (OutZoneTV)

Game Boy: A gimpy Tom Brady arrives in Phoenix for Sunday's big game. (NYDN)

Double Standard in the (313): It wouldn't be the mayor's office of Detroit without corruption, but why is the married city leader's lover resigning for doing the exact same thing he did? (NYT)

Da Lovely: How cool that a gay man is now the top dog over at The Arizona Republic, which happens to be where I began my journalism career back in the 1980s. With his promotion, Editor and Publisher says Randy Lovely has become the only openly gay editor of a major U.S. newspaper. When I e-mailed an old co-worker of mine about the cool news she replied, "Oh I heard it's all nellies and fat chicks there nowadays..." (Add trailblazer to my Special Skills, thank you very much.) (E&P)

Snap in (A)Z Formation: Why did I ever leave Arizona? First Tom Brady shows up needing a little TLC. Then they name an openly gay editor to run The Arizona Republic. Now the state's Democratic governor, Janet Napolitano, has told President Bush where to put his $1 million for "abstinence-only sex education," tell the Texas fraud that the programs "just don't work." (Snap!) (365Gay)

The Devil's Lezzie: As if Mitt Romney weren't unlikable enough, now Lynn Cheney is working for him. (AP)

'Hitchcocked'

 This short film was written and directed by David M. Young and stars Yuval David and David Grant Beck. It's somewhat disturbing, but Yuval is kinda hot in a Matt Lattanzi kind of way so it's worth watching for that reason alone. Check out the trailer, above.

 

The Brothers Djokovic

I'm not sure why, but I really love this photo of Novak Djokovic and his two brothers ...

Have You Seen This Woman? (Donna Rutkowski)

I'd been thinking about my former teaching assistant turned friend Donna Rutkowski lately when I got an e-mail last night from a girl woman I had interned with on Capitol Hill back in 1989 who told me she'd come across my blog by searching "Sears Intern Program." In that post about my semester interning for Rep. Major Owens I made a point of noting that half the reason I was writing it was in hopes of other interns would Google their way here and we could start a little online reunion. With the success of hearing from Joy Jones (if you're reading, Joy, I will write you back this week!) I was inspired me to try to use a similar ploy to find Donna, who ironically I last saw in person the day before I left for that DC internship back in January 1989. We stayed in touch for a number of years by phone -- the photo is one she mailed me back in 1992 -- but she moved back to the Chicago area (Naperville, when last I heard), and eventually we lost touch. Any of my Chicago readers know where I can find my girl? I'd love to hear how she's doing. She could always make me laugh.

Separated at Birth?

I mean this as no offense to any of the Muppets, but doesn't "Rock of Love 2" whore Daisy DeLaHoya bear a striking resemblance to Janice of the Electric Mayhem? If I were Bret Michaels, I'd pick Janice any day. She plays guitar and she doesn't have Hep C. (Thanks, Jerry!)

Red Carpet Man Watch

Well, the writers' union has managed to ruin every other awards show. So "kudos" to them for giving all the big stars the green light to attend SAG's own show, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, turning the usually low-key event into A Night of a Thousand Stars. Here are a few who caught my eye for one reason or another:

Get Scruffy: Brad Pitt's working his natural hair color with a grey van dyke while Ryan Gosling shoot for the full-on Paul Bunyan, 20something style ...

Country Men: Javier Bardem, who even without his Emo Phillips 'do does nothing for me (sorry, rest of the world!) and sexy Josh Brolin clean up their acts for the night ...

Stiffs: Michael C. Hall looks a little too Dexter-y in the eyes here; Zac Efron couldn't attend the awards because of his appendix emergency but was kind enough to send this wax statue of himself so his fans wouldn't be too disappointed ...
