• We can't even attempt to do Jim David's attack on the anti-gay GOP justice:

The hysterical right wing response to the House passage of the hate crimes bill [equates] gays with terrorists: if Al Qaeda doesn't get you, Al Gayda will.

They claim that the bill will criminalize antigay speech, which of course it won't. They will still be able to say nasty things about gays, they just won't be able to beat them up, which, of course, most of them want to do.

• Mollygood - our Hollywood-obsessed virtual cousin - has a new look. Oh, and we think straight editor Cord Jefferson has a crush on the newly-hunky Marc Jacobs. Pass it on...

• Meanwhile, we totally have a crush on Brothers and Sisters' queer creator, Robbie Baitz.

• And Liv Tyler wants Karolina Kurkova's titties. (Also, Jessica Simpson and reality have apparently had a nasty break-up. Tragic.)

• What's queer about fall's television schedule? How about Bryan Singer, Footballer's Wives, Darren Star and Bobby Cannavale, of Will & Grace, The Night Listener and a slew of other gay-themed shows/movies/etc...

• The Bible-spouting, gay-hating Floridian airport employee totally got canned. Now you queens can fly into Fort Lauderdale without hearing the blasphemous manipulation of Biblical text. Hooray!

• We never knew Isabella Blow, but we still think she's rad.

• Out's Equus-inspired, Chad White-starring, Francois Rousseau-shot, Sam Jaradeh-styled photo shoot may be one of the hottest spreads we've seen in a long time. (In print, of course.) Even if you've seen the paper edition, you'll definitely want to head over to the magazine's website to take an exclusive peek at White's oh-so-beautiful bum. It's really quite delicious...

• Watching those Snickers commercials? No. Masterfoods yanked 'em, issuing the world's most flippant, indifferent statement in history: "We know that humor is highly subjective and understand that some people may have found the ad offensive. Clearly that was not our intent. As with all of our Snickers advertising, our goal was to capture the attention of our core Snickers consumer."

• Heading to rehab after admitting to fucking you former campaign manager's wife? No, that's pretty much San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's territory. (What's up with everyone going to rehab. Party poopers.)

• Going to Best Week Ever's "The First (and Possibly Last) Annual ZARFCON 2007"? Only if you join them in DC for All My Children actor Jeffrey Carlson's performance in Hamlet.

• Being named Human Rights Campaign's new chief diversity officer? Only if your name's Cuc Vu. (And, yes, they work "the nation’s largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization" into the first sentence".)

• Blaming your divorce from Nick Lachey on The Notebook? Yes. That is, if you're name's Jessica Simpson, who says, "I just figured out the statement." Yeah, that's how we read it, too.

• Barring The New York Times from your fashion show over a bad Cathy Horyn review? Only if you're Carolina Herrera. Well, she sure showed that bitch Cathy, now didn't she? Only if Horyn cares, which we doubt she does.

• Announcing your official presidential bid on February 13th? That's what Mitt Romney's reportedly doing. Happy fucking Valentine's.

We won't repeat ourselves about what day it is...at least, not in this posting. As we reported earlier, in conjunction with this gayest of days, The Human Rights Campaign launched its "Talk About It" campaign. You know, because we don't talk about gayness enough.

Anyway, our friends over at AOL just sent us this link to their site where people just like you can satisfy their need for all things celebrity and coming out with one simple click. Incredible! There are definitely some notable names, such as Jessica Simpson, Laura Linney, and Bishop Gene Robinson. Then, there's a face we never thought we'd see in a coming out campaign: Ronald Reagan, Jr.

Um...did we miss something? Isn't the same man who for the last billion years or so has denied he's gay? Has he final come out or is he just pulling our leg? Did we miss something? We're so confused we could cry.

And, judging from this picture, so is Ronald Reagan, Jr.

Contrary to popular belief, not all fags like Jessica Simpson (pictured in all her cartoon glory). In fact, we kind of hate her - although do shamefully admit to kinda liking Ashley - yet we can't help but be drawn to her and all the senseless attention lavished on her by America.

Today's installment comes from the gorgeous and regretfully hetero journo, Jeff Bercovici - the former WWD writer who joined Maer Roshan's online incarnation of the death-defying Radar Magazine.

Apparently, Ms. Simpson has been calling editors at all the tabbies to clean up the mess caused by her now canned publicist, Rob Shuter.

Bercovici writes:

A penitent Simpson expressed gratitude for the boost the weeklies have given her career, determination to take on a more direct role in dealing with them, and sadness at having become an object of scorn for the very magazines that once treated her like a goddess. "She's wondering why they all turned on her," says the source. Adds another person close to the situation, "It was kind of like, 'Hi, I'm actually a human being.'"

We were going to get on the horn and call all the readers we've offended, but then we thought, "Ah, fuck em. What's for lunch?"

Fanning the flames of America's fury for splitting from dreamy husband Nick Lachey, femme fatale Jessica Simpson rocked the music industry with her announcement that she is ready to hang up her music career. In a recent statement, she broke the bad news:

"Music will always be my passion, but I don't have to do it professionally. It's just not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career."

We can't imagine the world without Jessica Simpson's voice in it; if she stops singing, we'll have to turn to Miss America pageants and Japanese karaoke bars to fill the void. Nor can we imagine what she will do next for a living, since her attempt at acting in The Dukes Of Hazzard was about as sophisticated as Kevin Federline's latest album. And no one will watch her get married again. Or would we? Hmm...

This news, of course, comes just days after the gay world was rocked by Madonna's proclamation that she has brought her acting career to an end, despite Pierce Brosnan's offer of a role in his next movie. That news was especially troubling since, unlike Jessica Simpson, some of Madonna's offerings (Evita) were legitimately quite good.

What's next? Carrot Top to exit the world of stand-up comedy? Take According To Jim off the air? Excuse us while we weep.
