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.

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.)

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!

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...

Edie Grey Gardens

Every gay man and woman we’ve ever met loves Grey Gardens, the best documentary ever produced. And for good reason. Little Edie and Big Edie are two of the craziest rich people we’ve ever come across. We can never get enough of Little Edie marching down the mansion’s steps to the foyer in her black leotard a la 2005 Madge and boogey down with Old Glory. Well, mom and daughter will be getting the big screen treatment.

Variety reports that Drew Barrymore will play "Little Edie" Beale and Jessica Lange her mother, "Big Edie" Bouvier Beale, in a new drama based on the eccentric socialites immortalized in the gay cult fave documentary Grey Gardens. Written and directed by first-timer Michael Sucsy, this new film—also titled Grey Gardens—will cover 40 years of their lives, and other characters will include Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Ben Bradlee, and Sally Quinn.

Just what we need. A Grey Gardens prequel! And, for once, that’s not sarcasm.

We love Drew - She’s cute and it seems like she’d be the perfect fag hag. And Jessica Lange as momma Edie? She could possess the perfect amount of bitterness and bitchiness to pull of Big Edie with a great over-the-top style.

We can't wait. This movie could be the new What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
