• Rosie O'Donnell didn't have much to say about Britney Spears' baby drama. A confused looking Roseanne Barr, meanwhile, plans to give the pop tart a call, "I think she needs a mother. She needs help".

• GLAAD takes on NY Post, again:

The Post's Oct. 4 edition contained a Page Six item about an upcoming dating show on Fox Reality Channel (also a News Corporation property) called There’s Something About Miriam. The item referred to Miriam, a transgender woman from Mexico, using the slur “she-male.”

• Anti-Violence Project's Clarence Thomas on accused Michael Sandy killer Anthony Fortunato's courthouse coming out:

First, given the facts of the case that are by now well-known, the sexual orientation, actual or alleged, of Fortunato or indeed any of the defendants is immaterial.

If Fortunato is indeed gay, then we can only imagine that his "coming out" last month was a vain attempt to unleash a red herring for a nice swim around the courthouse. If he is not, then this was a despicable tactic from a desperate defense.

In any case, it was a craven, messy thing to do.

And, of course, keeps journos on their toes.
