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.

We must confess that we fantasize about dead men all of the time. Not actual corpses, sicko, or walking corpses like Michael Douglas. No, we’ve had it bad for James Dean ever since we first started braiding our kid sister’s hair.
It has been long rumored that Dean didn’t quite rebel against the gay lifestyle. He’s been alleged to have dabbled in (or on) Hollywood’s old casting couch. Or in this case, a mauve chaise lounge. The book Boulevard of Broken Dreams dishes the dirt.
This Friday marks the 50th Anniversary of the Hollywood icon’s death. Mid-Western Queertees have the most opportunities to celebrate. His home state of Indiana is going for the next non-stop for the next few days with several "giant" events. Unfortuntaley, no look-alike wet t-shirt contests listed. And over in California the stretch of highway where he met his maker is being renamed after the James Dean Memorial Junction.
In order to appropriately honor Dean, head over to the official James Dean site where you can buy a set of coasters donning his image. It’s truly the American way.
The New York Times gives 50's Hunk Tab Hunter a chance to plug his new biography. Topics: being gay and closeted in Hollywood.
The Times maintains its respectability by asking Hunter thought-provoking questions such as which famous people he's slept with. Rock Hudson? Nope. James Dean? Just a friend. Anthony Perkins? Bingo! What no follow-up question about dressing up as Mrs. Bates?
Hunter also goes onto defend noted heterosexual Tom Cruise, saying he doesn't buy into the rumors. But he doesn't stop there. Though he himself at one point was a huge closeted movie star, he goes on to say he firmly believes none of the current batch of "A-list" stars are gay. Not one. I have a feeling the Hollywood Gay Mafia might disagree with that.
Hunter's book, Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star is out next month.
