Madonna gave viewers a little peek at her life post-Guy Ritchie in her much-touted interview with ABC’s Cynthia McFadden yesterday, including what it’s like dating 24-year-old Brahim Zaibat. “I go home and I wash my face and I put on my sweatpants and I lay down on the bed and I say, ‘oh, please rub my feet,’ and you know, he says, ‘no, you rub my feet.” Um, TMI much?

We wish we had a boyfriend we could tweet about like Warren Beatty‘s trans son, Stephen does. [Radar]
Stephen Merritt says none of the songs on Magnetic Fields’ upcoming album, Love at the Bottom of the Sea, will be longer than three minutes. That’s barely long enough for an emo boy to light his cigarette and strike a pose.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Apparently Sinead O’Connor has fallen off the marriage bandwagon again—and she’s blaming the media: “The behaviour of one particular paper resulted in very serious damage to my husband and myself personally and consequently made the marriage untenable so that it is now over and I hope the media will kindly leave the poor man alone to get on with his life. I will never again associate myself romantically with anyone as I could not bear to see these things done again to someone I love.” Seriously, has she been stoned this entire time? [People]
Soap-opera veteran Erika Slezak on the cancelling of One Life to Live, which aired its final episode today: “We were told the daytime audience doesn’t want entertainment anymore and that they just want information. Well, that’s the biggest load of bullshit. People always want entertainment.” Slezak was then abducted by a UFO driven by her amnesiac twin sister. [D Listed]
Paula Deen‘s got diabetes, y’all! But don’t worry, y’all—she’s gonna make millions advertising diabetes medication. All the people who followed her unhealthy recipes (deep-fried, bacon-wrapped mac ‘n’ cheese, anyone?) are still SOL. Y’all. [L.A. Times]
Still have “Like a G6” stuck in your head? Dev has released the video for her new song, “Dancing Shoes.” It’s the first single from The Night The Sun Came Up, coming March 27. Check it out below.

I hate Paula Deen, she is a huge diva bitch. I went to see her during book signing in,Austin last year. The volunteers over there told us we couldn’t talk to her, take picture with her, hug her, handsake, or do personal name signing. Even the volunteers jokingly said the only thing you can do is look in her eyes, but not too long. Lol

Paula Deen’s idea of diabetic-friendly cooking: wrap the stick of butter in whole grain….
That woman is disgusting.
If her husband or kids die of heart problems, they SHOULD charge her with manslaughter.

Paula dean telling everyone that she has diabetes is like Ricky martin coming out… you really thought no one knew?

@Mike Fourth:

I hate the way PD inserts y’all every other word she speaks.
She’s obviously doing it for affect.

WTF is this music. It’s fucking terrible and it hurts my entire body just listening to it.

If one solitary newspaper can make Sinead’s marriage “untenable,” it can’t have been that strong in the first place.

The only artificial sweetener Paula Deen uses is in her onscreen persona. She has a commercial for the local cable company and in that exaggerated cornpone accent she squeals, “Frum MAH fammly tuh yurrrrrrrs!” Every time I hear that it’s like chewing on tinfoil.
Whenever I see it I have to watch the clip of Paula getting hit in the face with a frozen ham to counteract the saccharine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTf_7EFqWMo
Still, I’m sorry to hear she has diabetes. I would bake and send her a pecan pie from her own recipe, but that would mean arrivederci, Paula! Hmmmm. I *do* have a bag of pecans….

Yes, yes, let me be all pious and say how terrible Paula Dean and blame her is for ruining my body so no one will sleep with me, blah, blah ,blah, but DAMM! that Tiramisu baby cake dessert she made this morning in her show looks sooooo dammm good.

the song sounds rather generic but I love the video for it
