Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...
Sony's banking on Spider Man 3. Literally. Some insiders claim the flick cost $300 million to produce. No doubt, however, it'll make it back. And then some.
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission will honor Nepal's Blue Diamond Society for all their hard activist work. Unfortunately, they will not be honored with actual blue diamonds.
We've never quite understood Kate Moss and Pete Doherty's relationship. Now we do. And they're kind of cute. Still total nutters, but cute...
The fuzz may have been investigating theft at Atlanta's airport, but they found a bunch of horny gay men, instead. Now they're looking for more.
Regional lawyers have ruled that Latvia's City Council acted unjustly in barring last year's gay pride parade. Hoorah!
Maryland's House has passed a bill requiring health insurance companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and children. The bill now needs to be signed by the governor to become a law. (We totally just had a School House Rock flashback.)
GLAAD's celebrating the tenth anniversary of Ellen Degeneres' coming out with a month full of flag-waving faggotry.
Sri Lanka may forbid homosexuality, but that's not stopping gay activists from planning a pride event. Trouble is, they don't have any money. Do you?
In an effort to make a more single friendly album, Madonna has joined forces with Justin Timberlake and uber-producer Timbaland. If they can't help her sales, no one can...
The House Judiciary Committee isn't fucking around with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. They've just issued a subpoena for more documents regarding the allegedly illegal firing of federal prosecutors. Nail him to the wall, kids!
New York has agreed to extend benefits to employee's same-sex partners. About fucking time, no?
Mario Vasquez still claims he's not gay. But, of course, the interview took place before that whole sexual harassment lawsuit, so who knows...
Don Imus may have called them "nappy-headed hos", but the Rutgers Women's basketball team has agreed to have a little sit-down. We hope they give it to him good.
Robbie Williams may have ditched Take That! to embrace his bad boy image, but some are saying the recently rehabbed singer's mulling a musical reunion. Um, is that supposed to be a career booster or a death rattle?
21-year old Akino George has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the beating of gay singer, Kevin Aviance. Like his violent cohorts, George copped a plea. Smart fucker...

• Willam from Nip/Tuck ate peanuts--as in, the real peanuts, please get your mind out of the gutter--and had a horrendous allergic reaction. Nothing to do but sit around and heal, he scoped out YouTube for us. Enjoy his recommends. [NoExtraI]
• We were obsessed with 8th and Ocean from day one. Michael at DListed is finally coming around, thanks to Vinci. [DListed]
• Will United 93, the movie about the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, feature Mark Bingham as gay? Since he was in real life... [QueerBeacon]
• Bradford thinks House of Venus is hysterical. Don't blame the rest of us if you don't agree. (Although some of us watch Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel like she is unlocking secrets of the universe. We all have our own tastes.) [YouTube]
We can't get enough of 8th and Ocean, MTV's newest reality-TV parade of pretty people with problems, and we're hungry for more. With Ocean, we follow the world of the Irene Marie modeling agency in Miami, as the models battle through life to prove they've got more than just a pretty face. Granted, certain members of the Queerty editorial staff used to live in Miami, and perhaps those memories are part of the allure--but not because we're rehashing glory days gone by. This show reminds us of what "reality-TV" used to be: no stupid games, no votes, no eating bugs.
Yes, there is the plentitude of skin and sexiness, requisite for any MTV offering these days; but watch carefully, and really it's just a story, a glimpse into the lives of people we will probably never meet. Although if we did that would be cool, because they're a very likeable bunch. Together we suffer the trials and tribulations of career-thwarting acne, and mean booking agents who make everyone work too hard. When the boys act like pigs, thinking they can get away with it because they're pretty, we think Ha ha, we see you on TV, you won't get away with it anymore. Although if they wanted to walk around in their underwear again, that would be alright. Because they most certainly are pretty. Oh yes, they are. The show is very good--it's pretty "scripted," much like its cousin Laguna Beach, but it works. It's more like Baywatch, but with better writing. And if someone got eaten by a shark, you would actually feel a little sad.
8th and Ocean airs Tuesdays, 10:30 PM (9:30 Central) on MTV. (Repeats ten zillion times the rest of the week.)

The Miami fashion industry is back in an upswing, as the industry positions itself as a hub for the Latin American biz--and what's a fashion industry without Fashion Week? Here are some highlights from the shows, with The Good, The Bad, and The God-Awful.
