• Last week, The Advocate broke the story on Micron Technology's board of director's heavy-handed refusal to endorse a shareholder sponsored non-discrimination policy. Now the Boise, Idaho company has reversed it's position. From The Advocate:

Micron Technology Inc. decided Tuesday to amend its company policy so employees can no longer be fired on the basis of their sexual orientation. The move comes after The Advocate revealed last week that the Boise, Idaho, company’s board of directors had ignored an unprecedented 55% shareholder vote in favor of adding both sexual orientation and gender identity to its nondiscrimination policies.

Well done, homo-journos! Unfortunately, the board will not be including gender identity in their revised policy. Divide and conquer, huh?

• Don't forget all the homo-politicos. Referring to a string of recent political gains, Denis Dison of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund tells Deb Price: "We have seen in the last month at almost every major win, almost always there is an openly gay legislator behind that story." This article comes with complete "gay" political gain time line!

Oprah welcomed Dina Matos McGreevey yesterday, giving the former Mrs. Gay American a chance to plug her book set the record straight about her marriage to Jim McGreevey. In addition to coming off like a real Jersey girl - despite her Portuguese background - Mrs. McG contradicts McGreevey's assertion that they prayed about his landmark speech (that didn't happen), Dina claims McGreevey never said, "I am gay". Rather, he gave her the news in "cowardly installments".

No matter how he explained it, however, poor, clueless Dina simply "wasn't absorbing it". What a shocker. Speaking of shock, Dina claims to have been in shock while McGreevey delivered his resignation, thus giving her that plasticine, Stepford Wife smile. Shock and the distinct possibility that she's had her brain surgically removed.

We're absolutely popping with excitement over Oprah's appearance on Thursday's Ellen. It's more exciting than...well, almost anything. Good thing the network's been promoting the show left and right, thus providing us with small fixes before the big event.

Watch as Ellen offers some new directions for Oprah's monthly, O. As in the other clip, the Big O doesn't seem too amused. Her body language says no, but her irritated giggle says, "Oh, fuck no".

Ellen's a brave, brave creature...

Brace yourselves, kids, because on February 22nd, at 4pm, the world as you know it will come to an end: Oprah Winfrey will be appearing on rival talk show Ellen. Yes, it's incredible. It's so incredible, in fact, that producers have made two promotional commercials. Very special, indeed.

Above you'll see the girls singing the classic gay anthem, "I Will Survive". Could it be that Oprah's using Ellen's stage to come out? Doubtful. She'd never give away those ratings.

They'd make a cute couple, though, don't you think? Sure, Oprah seems a bit like a sourpuss, but watch the video and you'll see that even the Big O's no match for Ellen's sapphic shenanigans.

We've also included Ellen's introduction of Ms. Winfrey, after the jump.

Jennifer Hudson's getting a lot of press these days, but what about that other girl from American Idol? You know, the girl who actually won? In case you've forgotten, her name's Fantasia Barrino. She had that Lifetime movie - it was shitty. She had that album - not shitty, but certainly not sublime. And she now she may have a role in the Oprah-endorsed stage adaptation of Alice Walker's The Color Purple. E!'s homo extraordinaire Marc Malkin reports that "sources close to Barrino" tell him she's up for the role of the central character, Miss Celie.

Hmmm, we're not sure how we feel about this - we think we'd rather read the book. We know Oprah's done loads of good in this world, but there's seriously something wrong with the idea of Fantasia and her jaw singing about being beat down by Mr. -.

You may have heard that today's Oprah will feature "Extraordinary Parents". In conjunction with that earth shattering news, you probably heard that two men make up one of the astounding parental units. Yeah, two men. They're named Mark and Andy Sutherland-Trevino. They're totally gay. And they're totally remarkable.

So, why are notable enough to grace her royal Oprahness' stage? According to the introduction to their interview with AfterElton, it's because they have seven children, all adopted. Sure, it's nice they adopted all those kids, but seven? That doesn't make them extraordinary. That makes them total crazies with big hearts.

'Tis the season for ex-spouses to spill the beans. First, came news of Jim McGreevey's ex-wife Dina Matos McGreevey's book, Silent Partner. Now there's word that author Terry McMillan's ex-husband Jonathan Plummer has signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to pen a "fictionalized" account of his life with McMillan entitled, Balancing Act. Oh, brilliant. (But, what do you expect? Simon and Schuster did publish J. McGreevey's book, The Confesssion.)

Oprah may have just lauded Madonna's adoption of wee African baby David Banda (right), but not everyone in Hollywood approves of the pop-star's baby-snatching methods. Tinseltown's other baby monger, Angelina Jolie, had some harsh words for Madge's allegedly illegal tactics. Speaking with French magazine Gala, Jolie reportedly said:

Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law... I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal... Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born... It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption.

She went on to say that Madonna's Malawian adoption threatened her reign as Africa's White Queen Bee. When the time comes, little Zahara will challenge David to a duel to the death. She added that Zahara's one tough bitch and not even Kaballah's ancient power will save David's hide.

She did not mention, however, whether or not this battle would precede Zahara's forthcoming fist to cuffs with baby Suri. Only time will tell. One thing's for sure: the Baby Wars have begun. Prepare accordingly.

Oprah had nothing but love for Madonna. Speaking to BBC Newsnight yesterday, the big-hearted talk show praised the pop-star's recent adoption, saying:

I applaud Madonna... I think it is an amazing decision... Madonna and her husband and children had to make a decision that we are going to bring a child from a different culture, and not just a different culture from our family, he even looks different from our family. He's not even the same color...

!!! You mean that white lady has a little black boy living in her house? How brave. But, we'd better be careful what we say, lest we provoke the Big O's wrath. She blasted critics, saying:

It makes me sick that people criticize her, because there are millions of children in this world who will die because no one came to save them.

She went on to cite the opening of her new school in South Africa, saying, "When Madge and I are done with Africa, we'll have the biggest child army on the planet. And then? Well, world domination, of course." She then let out a bone-chilling cackle, composed herself and gave the host a spaceship.

Our friend Jordy from virtual matter sent us this video of Kathy Griffin on what may be one of the more informative episodes of Larry King Live. Well, not informative for us, but watch as Griffin schools King on "speaking gay", the ins and (more importantly) outs of the Saks shoe department and the parameters of Jim McGreevey's love. Also, something tells us she won't be chatting it up with Oprah anytime soon.
