Have We Finally Found a Surface Roger Can Beat Rafa On?

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer take their rivalry to the Persian Gulf to promote the upcoming 2011 ATP Doha Open, which starts tomorrow.

Oklahoma ... OK?

Had a great conversation last night with my pal Greg, my BFF growing up in Arizona. Like myself, his newspaper job is about to dry up as his company prepares to consolidate operations to various editing centers around the country. As a result, he is plotting his next move -- by a series of events, he's currently in Mountain Home, Arkansas -- and has his sights set on Tulsa, a place he's never been. I've never been there either -- or anywhere in Oklahoma -- but I've heard some good things about it and the research he's done has all been promising. Wondered if any of you readers could provide some insight into what life for a 40-year-old gay man would be like there. He and I are planning a reconnaissance visit this spring and would like some pointers!

New Year's Day

Astor Place, 9:12 p.m. Just walked out of "Blue Valentine." Wow.

The Rape World

Tonya Cooley of "The Real World: Chicago" has filed a lawsuit against MTV, Bunim/Murray Productions and co-stars Kenny Santucci (above) and Evan Starkman, alleging that she was sexually abused by the two men with a toothbrush, and that the show's producers did nothing to stop it. This is fucked up, of course, but didn't we learn over the summer that MTV's "Real World" contract explicitly states that you could be subjected to "non-consensual physical contact" and that MTV is not responsible?
