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...

Alexis Arquette's never been accused of being a wallflower. And she definitely made an impression yesterday when she arrived at the press conference for her Tribeca documentary, Alexis Arquette She's My Brother. Sporting an animal print dress, the blond actress and Hollywood royal posed for photographers, laughing, "Are you ready for me?" We were born ready. Arquette, on the other hand: not ready to be a boy.
Thus, the 36-year old transformed herself into a woman, a year-and-a-half transitory journey documented in the film. Though willing to capture her emotional transition, Arquette's not about to reveal all her secret.
It got to the point when I wasn't willing to answer the questions about hormones, surgeries, or genitalia because it felt like backstepping. It wasn't a subject that needs any more exploitation; it needs clarification.[Read On ...]

We rushed to Bryant Park on Friday with our photographer Randy and arrived late for the Heatherette show. Upon noticing the world's first blog star approaching, security whisked us in backstage. We ran to make it to our seats, but the show had started already. It looked like we had to remain backstage the entire show. Which is not a bad thing when surrounded by Amanda Lepore, Brandywine, Naomi Campbell, Kelly Osbourne, JC Chasez, Lizzie Grubman, Lydia Hearst, Nicky Hilton, Michael Lucas, Patrick McMullan, Tinsley Mortimer, and Zach Augustine. Richie and Traver's show was a hit. And yes, Naomi does look that good up close.
More exclusive pics after the jump.
