Another not-so-shocking story: a reader informs us that California's filed a lawsuit against the now defunct Q Television Network and CEO Frank Olsen for Labor Code violation. What are these so called Labor Code violation? Unceremoniously firing employees and withholding more than $800,000 in back pay.

You may recall the network helped lead the gay television station craze in 2002, but failed to draw the numbers necessary for syndicated survival. What's more, many claim Olsen and company pilfered the station's bank accounts.

When the company folded back in May of 2006, Olsen had this to say:

When I took over control of the network on March 7, 2006, the company was roughly 7 million dollars behind in payments to vendors; numerous lawsuits had been filed against the company and over $600,000 was owed to former employees. The financial challenges that the network faced proved too difficult and I was simply unable to turn around the network.

• 7th Heaven comes to a close tonight. The least-gay television show ever, which is also the longest-running family TV drama ever, was produced by the gayest and campiest TV producer (Aaron Spelling) ever. Ever. Except those damned re-runs. Why isn't Jessica Biel in more projects? She is flawless and her portrayal of an over-coked society brat in Rules Of Attraction was genius. [Slate]

• Logo and Here! TV are a little happier now: Q Television has finally closed up shop. They haven't paid their employees in months. Why were people still going to work all this time? It's terribly upsetting to think that the four people in America who actually subscribed to Q Television will no longer be able to see The Reichen Show. Thank God we can still watch the "Perfect Body" episode on the internet! I hear Emmy chatter. [BoiFromTroy]

• Are you reading Elyse Sewell's blog? The finalist in Season One of America's Next Top Model is a brilliant writer, and her blog is a must-read. She just moved to Milan, after tearing up the Hong Kong modeling industry; someday when VH1 isn't playing a Top Model marathon, scroll through past entries and see all the snapshots of her work. Who knew that Top Models could be so succesful? And that the Top Models can actually be pleasant people. Granted, she uses LiveJournal, but we all have our flaws. [ ElyseSewell]

• It isn't looking good for Q Televison. The've shut down production on all shows. That could leave Friends of Queerty Sandra Bernhard and Riechen out of a job. [Out]

• We'll have a great replacement if the plug is officially pulled on Q TV. Bravo is partnering with PlanetOut on a web-based channel. Could Bravo get any gayer? [NY Times]

• There's no reason why Tony Curtis, who dressed in drag in Some Like It Hot and raves about the homo-friendly Harry Potter movies, should not be a fan of Brokeback Mountain. [Contact Music]
