It may strike some of you as queer that The Advocate chose actor TR Knight for the cover of their annual Pride issue. His may have been one of the most anticlimactic coming outs in homo history. The events leading up to the Grey’s Anatomy star’s October 19, 2006 People-hosted revelation were far too explosive to afford Knight a proper, prideful arena.

Co-star Isaiah Washington had an altercation with another Grey’s actor, Patrick Dempsey, reportedly shouting, “I'm not your little faggot like [redacted].” Tongues immediately started wagging and the media – including ourselves – began speculating as to whom Washington referred. More than a few fingers pointed at the initially timorous TR...

Rosie O'Donnell's up to her shit-spouting tricks. The soon-to-be former View co-host posted a very special blog video in which she alleges that fellow lesbian chatter box, Ellen Degeneres, signed a contract prohibiting her from discussing her sexuality.

Kate Walsh tooks a little trip to Ellenand rest assured talk turns to her potential Grey's Anatomy spin-off. Walsh - who proved so popular with viewers, ABC gave her a permanent gig on the medical drama - explained to Ellen that she's still got a few days until she gets confirmation. Well, Ellen's one impatient lesbian because she picked up the phone and gave ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson a little ringer.

At first McPherson sounds pretty happy to hear from Ellen, but doesn't seem so thrilled to be chatting with Walsh. He did say, however, that Walsh is "in pretty good shape". Does this mean we'll all get another hour of weepy, somewhat quirky, surprisingly popular medical drama? We don't know, but we do know that Ellen's got some gumption. And it's adorable.

If you're gay and looking to chat about it, head on over to Ellen - Ellen Degeneres' eponymous chat fest seems to be the go-to show for gay actors looking to get something off their queer chests. Grey's Anatomy's TR Knight uses the lesbian comedienne's stage to address that Isaiah Washington stink and now out actor Nathan Lane's spilling the bent beans.

Our homo homeboys over at AfterElton inform us that Broadway and silver screen actor popped on over yesterday to yak about his coming out.

I was very young - I was living in New Jersey with my mother, but I was seeing someone in New York, and she thought it was a woman. And I finally broke it to her - I was around 21 and I finally sat her down, she was this little Irish Catholic lady from Jersey City - and so I said, "I know you think I'm seeing a girl, but I've been seeing a guy." And she said - the blood just drained from her face - and she said, "So you're a homosexual?" And I said, "Yeah, i guess so. Yeah, i guess so." And she said, "Oh, i would rather you were dead". [The audience gasps, Lane laughs] See, I always laugh, because I knew her better than they did (gestures to audience). Because you know, it was the worst, you know - so I said "I knew you'd understand," and once I got her head out of the oven she was fine.

• Madonna got a haircut. No word on an amount, but we bet it costs a fucking fortune to look so - um...well, to have such nice looking hair. The face? Not looking so hot...

• Ellen injured! Lesbian talk show host and all around lesbian Ellen Degeneres will be performing her chat fest from bed after injuring her back. Perhaps Portia got a little rough?

• Kenya is getting lax on the fags. Gay activist Angus Parkinson says:of Liverpool VCT, a support centre in Nairobi, "Kenya is heading in a different direction from its neighbours." Well, we should hope so, because neighboring Uganda doesn't have the best record...

• Today's fag rags have less fag and more rag, according to journo Sam McManis: "Now, these niche newspapers and magazines seem more about the "active lifestyle," as the media cliche goes. Home improvement. Fashion. Celebrity culture. All the fun, frivolous stuff." Yeah, but it also brings in the ever-important dollar. Gotta get that dollar, homie...

• Candy Spelling's plan to save America's international image? More reruns of Charlie's Angels, Dynasty and, if we're in a bind, Falcon's Crest.

• On Friday, we informed you that an Arkansas man's suing his local library because his son suffered "many sleepless nights" after finding The Whole Lesbian Sex Book. Um, duh he had sleepless nights (assuming, of course, he's straight). Speaking on the brouhaha, the book's author, Felice Newman, asks, "If librarians pull such books from the shelves, where will kids find out about sex?" You're looking at it...

• Andy Warhol's the number two highest-selling artist in the world. Picasso's number one.

• Pete Wentz ain't just a make-up wearing rock star, he's a linguistic mastermind. For example, he doesn't wear eyeliner. He wears "guy-liner". Total difference. Total genius.

Neil Patrick Harris visited Ellen for a session on her daytime talk couch and US Magazine has all the juicy highlights:

Ellen: So in November you decided to make a public announcement to say that you were going to come out. What made you do that?
Neil: I don’t know.

Ellen: Nothing's changed right?
Neil: No, nothing's changed.

Ellen: It’s a freer way to live.
Neil: The normalcy of it I think is important.

Ellen: Yep?
Neil: Yep.

Neil Patrick Harris: Why I Came Out [US]

New England's "largest" LGBT newspaper, Bay Windows has wowed us again with another of their irreverent investigations. It's pretty self-explanatory. Our vote? Anne Heche.

Anderson Cooper could potentially show for the human interest aspect, we can imagine Buck Angel or someone pushing penis pumps and we're sure those ladies could find some ingenious use for a cock ring.

Heche, however, has allegedly sworn off the poon after her love affair with Ellen. Her presence would certainly raise a suspicious labia or two.

(Sassy wave to Ryan Adams for the heads up!)

The Oscars sure were lesbianic, huh? We had Ellen hosting, Jodie scowling, Portia vamping, Melissa singing and winning.

One would think that Hollywood had become one big lesbian meet-and-greet. According to uber-fashionista and known homosexual, Simon Doonan, it has.

And what's more, we should have seen it coming.

We know you've just been dying to know what former N'SYNCer and current homosexual Lance Bass has to say about queer peer Ellen's Oscar hosting gig. Well, wait no more, faithful reader, for NYDN delivers the stunning revelation:

I'm thrilled that an openly gay person [hosted] the Oscars. It gives a face to a gay person - to make it more acceptable and okay to be gay.

Just when you thought the Oscars were over, here's some footage from Ellen the show detailing Ellen the person's backstage adventures at the big event.

Not only do you get to see such mega-stars as Cate Blanchett and Queen Latifah giving the old girl some love, but you'll see Ellen having an excited breakdown before things get rolling.

If it were anyone else but Ellen, we'd probably make some snarky comment. But, since it is Ellen - one of our fave faves - we'll just say we're happy she's lived her dream.

Now suck it up, girl!

Watching the Oscar red carpet madness gives us such a headache. We can't keep track of who's who, what they're doing there and why we should care.

The kids over at E! were certainly no help - not only did they not seem to know the answers to those pressing questions, they didn't seem to give two shits. The complete and utter stupidity of Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Depandi and homo extraordinaire Jay Manuel from America's Next Top Model was only eclipsed by former The View co-host Debbie Manopoulos. When asked how she stays so thin, she said "I don't eat". The duo over at ABC weren't any better and Joan and Melissa Rivers on TV Guide really couldn't hold our attention.

As hard as it may be to believe, the only person we could focus on in the celebrity cluster fuck was Sally Kirkland. Coincidentally enough, her reality defying, rabbi designed dress seems to be made from the rainbow flag. Thus, she's our Oscar patron saint.

So, round of applause for Ms. Kirkland. Crazy's never looked so good. Or so disturbing.

See some more red carpet shots, after the jump...

We never doubted for a second that Ellen Degeneres would do a bang-up job hosting the Oscars. She does, after all, have a bit of hosting experience.

Ms. D made history as the first lesbian to host the Oscars, an especially magnificent milestone considering all the homophobic dialogue as of late. With regard to those scandals and other discriminatory diatribes, Ellen had this to say:

If there were no blacks, Jews and gays, there'd be no Oscars.
