• Tyra booted our gal-pal and proud lesbian Kim from America’s Next Top Model on Thanksgiving Eve. Bre, the horse-voiced thief of the show stayed on and with that decision we lost all respect for our once beloved show. Actually, we lost it when boring-ass Twiggy took Janice’s job.

• Madonna wants to direct films. Ooooh. That’s a good idea. Not.

• Our favorite not safe for work e-zine Homovizion is back and is all decked out for the holidays. Pa rum pum pum pum.

• Leanrdo Becker is our imaginary boyfriend. Need proof as to why? Go here.

• We know a lot of queens out there are into knitting and sewing. A reader of ours recently discovered a series of dirty cross-stitch patterns in Vienna, Germany. The series is titled “How to Calm the Oversexed Male” and contain images from vintage gay porn. It is the perfect gift for that queen as equally obsessed with Martha Stewart as he is with porn. Thanks Martin.

• The Advocate argues Hellbent isn't really the first gay slasher film. Beefy Jason Voorhees's Friday The 13th is the gory winner, hands down.

• Tyra Banks got all gussied up as Paris Hilton for her talk show's Halloween episode. What she should have done was have some well-hung stage hand dress up as Rick Salomon and re-enact One Night in Paris in its entirtey in front of a more than eager studio audience. Now that would have made for some damn good television.

• Brazilian's are divided over how they feel about the country's first televised gay kiss. One third of the population has said, as they trudged through the Amazon hacking away at the rain forest, "that 'society is not ready' for such an event."

• If you need help in finding a Brazilian of your own to lock lips with (apparently we're not doing a good enough job for you) head over to Rio Gay Life. (Via Gridskipper)

• Shockingly, Madonna's gaydar hadn't fully developed at a young age. She was clueless to the fact her brother was queer even though he had a "connection" with her ballet teacher. For Pete's sake, Madge, ballet!

• Elton John would never marry Barry Manilow, since he would “fuss in front of the mirror.” Which is codeword for two bottoms don’t make a top.

• Amanda Lepore guests on Tyra Banks’ show. We assume they will trade tranny secrets.

• ABBA is back in the spotlight thanks to Madge and are back in court too.

• Jerry Lewis has written a love story about Dean Martin. They weren’t gay, but they did go through a messy break-up.

• Like you needed a reason to break out your cashmere, Gay.com has listed the top five foliage destinations for leaf-peeping queens: Provincetown, Portland, Montreal, Madison, and Asheville.

•While New Orleans was going down, Condi was on Madison Avenue shopping for shoes at Ferragamo. Heartless? Yes. Cruel? Maybe. Stupid? Definitely. But all is forgiven if she ended up getting these fierce red high-heeled rain boots. We’re not holding our breath.

•We love watching Tyra Banks on America’s Next Top Model mostly for the things that come out of her mouth. She tells Zap2it about a time when she called out a guest on her new talk show she believed was just full of it: “I was like, 'You're being fake, and I know you are, but your story is true.” Girl is deep.

•Katrina victims are apparently taking their $2,000 FEMA cards and buying Louis Vuitton signature bags. Are we missing something here? Aren’t the evacuees the ones that need overpriced couture the most? We have no problem with using the cash for LV, but if we hear about someone heading to Old Navy, we’re gonna’ be pissed.

•Schwarzenegger has said he'll veto any same-sex marriage bill in his state that reaches his desk. But, you see, it's now out that Arnie has had a long history with the gays. Apparently, as a young muscle-bound immigrant, he was making a great living pumping more than just iron.

•Westlife continues to make news about everything but their music. Newly outed Mark Freehily is heading to the altar while ex-member Brian McFadden heads to court.

•Yes, we know the fad of leather cuffs is over, unless of course you are heading to Folsom Street. But a new take of the cuff has been launched called PhotoCuffs. We are going for the butch Brooklyn model and filling it with all the new girls from Top Model.
