After a year of tolerating her presence as their red-carpet representative, E! finally musters the courage to not renew View co-beast Star Jones’ contract. We expect Jones to retaliate the only way she knows how: by beating the crap out of her emasculated “husband” Al Reynolds. Via Gawker

We hear you. We know that we can't send all of our time looking at pictures of French rugby players. That's why we're now spending our time looking at pictures of French firefighters. Merci a Ohlala .

Courtesy of Gawker comes this handy guide to penguin lust. Clearly somebody has more down time at work that we do and we couldn't be happier. We think.

For those unlucky few who missed the world premier of Crimson Force all is not lost. SCI-FI will very wisely be re-airing this space epic on Sunday October 2nd at 4:30pm est. So be sure to check out the adorable Jeffrey Gimble and some other actors as they conquer the Martians. Or do they?

While we know that hurricanes are horrible,destructive weather events we can't help but love anything that gets storm stud Rob Marciano on CNN in a wet t-shirt. Oh yeah. Talk storm surge to us baby!

Well boys and girls it's autumn once again and that can only mean one thing. NAKED FRENCH RUGBY PLAYERS. Here's a sneak peek at the DIEUX DU STADE 2006 calendar. If you want these boys for your very own the calendar is available from the good folks at TLA video . Baisers.

Our dear friend Keven has left the mean streets of Washington Heights NYC for the sun baked shores of LA. We'll miss him like mad but we're looking foreword to having a place to crash on the west coast. Wishing you all the best Keven. We love you. P.S. And your little dog too.

So let me get this straight. Fashion models use cocaine? What other shocking stories are to come ? My sources tell me that there are a great many homosexuals in the fashion biz as well. More on this breaking story as details become available.

This is an AIDS awareness poster from France. I can get rid of that blur if anyone wants me to.

Well you heard it here first. Roy and Silo the famed Central Park gay penguins have split up. It seems that Silo has taken up with a younger female bird. Little is know about this new she bird (pictured left) though it's rumored her name is Katie and that she was placed in the penguin house by one of Silo's "handlers". Roy is said to be taking the break up rather hard. He's been hanging around with a mixed sex group of birds and last night was seen binge eating smelt. Silo will only say he hates labels and quote " I LOVE THIS PENGUIN ! I LOVE THIS PENGUIN ! "

Rumor has it that Roy and Silo penguindom's most famous gay couple have split up. And for once Jude Law isn't involved. It's over a girl. ( That little black and white home wrecking slut. ) More information on this sad story as it become available.

Today would have been David Wojnarowicz's 51st birthday.His funeral in 1992 was the first political demonstration I took part in and began a ten year association with ACT UP New York. Today is doubly poignant because I've just returned from the funeral of my friend Bob Riordan who 13 years after David also died of AIDS. Today would have been Bob's 54th birthday. Bob's service reminds me that even as the victims of hurricane Katrina struggle to rebuild their lives that not long ago another natural disaster befell the American people, that another administration did nothing in it's wake, that many lives were lost and that those who lost their lives were poor or black or queer or in some other way deemed less important than business as usual or killing people abroad. Somethings never change and something do and the choice is ours. ACT UP! FIGHT BACK! FIGHT AIDS!

the holy ground once more. Robert F. Riordan 09/14/1951-07/26/2005

Queer pop artist Robert Indiana is 77 today.

Two shots from GAY NIGHT at GREAT ADVENTURE. More to come. Please note the placement of the Six Flags logo. Hmmm. Some one is missing from this picture. I'm sure I was somewhere eating something.

Diamanda Galás: Defixiones, Orders from the Dead New York Premiere A haunting work of mourning and catharsis, excavating the memory of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek genocides tonight @ Michael Schimmel Center For the Arts, Pace University NYC

Some accidental truth from SKY TV in the UK

... until the reruns anyway . Tonight is the final episode of my favorite new show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List . Kathy's Grammy red carpet gig was a hit, but a scandalous one at that so even though she is happy E! has asked her back for the Oscars, she is less than thrilled to be relegated to the media bridge, far away from all the celebrity action. In between a stressed-out stand up gig in New York and minor scuffles with her picky dress designer over avoiding "double boob" on Oscar Day, Kathy finds time to sit down with her best gays to write outrageous red carpet jokes and chill out to the 'Project Runway' finale. When the Oscars finally roll around, Kathy looks like a Queen and is ready to rule - until she loses her red carpet credentials and may not be allowed on air! Tonight at 10pm on BRAVO . Great Dress. Love your work.

"It's an old story that's been repeated many times in many places: gay businesses move into a marginal neighborhood. They attract gay residents. These charming businesses and well-appointed apartments change the nature of the neighborhood." More

By ANNE RICE Published: September 4, 2005 La Jolla, Calif. WHAT do people really know about New Orleans? Do they take away with them an awareness that it has always been not only a great white metropolis but also a great black city, a city where African-Americans have come together again and again to form the strongest African-American culture in the land? more An amazing op-ed piece from today's New York Times.

an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag. Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with? ... more

According to Drudge , Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has recently enjoyed a little Broadway entertainment. And Page Six reports that she’s also working on her backhand with Monica Seles. So the Gulf Coast has gone all Mad Max, women are being raped in the Superdome, and Rice is enjoying a brief vacation in New York. We wish we were surprised. What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman. Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American. Thanks Gawker we love Angry Lady too.
