Anne Heche's up to her old tricks. Page Six reports Ellen DeGeneres' former flame has been hitting up the ladies:

It seems Anne Heche's messy divorce from Coleman Laffoon is driving her to seek the company of women. On Saturday night, Heche was spotted "getting very cozy" with club promoter Voula Duval at the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar. Then, Sunday night, Heche was spotted flirting with Six Degrees star Shiri Appleby, 28, at a Tony Awards after-party at Bryant Park Hotel.

Heche's flack had no comment on her clients queer behavior. Shocker.

• Just weeks before he's to be sentenced for driving under the influence, British pop star George Michael has admitted he's addicted to drugs, but once again took some time to praise pot:

[My arrest] involves prescribed drugs and it involves a dependency on them and the tendency to chase one drug with another because of side effects.
…
We could sit here with any number of policemen and doctors and they would all tell you if everybody who had a dependence on alcohol changed their mind and had a dependence on weed, the world would be a much easier place to live in.

We weep at your eloquence, dude…

• Warsaw mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz Walz took a stand against the homophobic government and said the town's Gay Pride will go on! We wonder what President Lech Kaczyński will have to say. Probably something in Polish. And not pleasant.

• Julie Enzer has something to say, "Gay Pride is not just poppers and blowjobs!" Only Enzer's version's a little longer. And persuasive.

• Anne Heche's soon-to-be ex-husband alleges the actress "has at times exhibited bizarre and delusional behavior". He obviously missed that whole alien abduction thing…

• Pam Anderson pissed off some paparazzi in Cannes. Apparently they were upset her tits showed up late for the red carpet and bounced away before striking properly perky poses. Poor paparazzi…

• It's just like the 400-pound gorilla in the room, only it's a 400-pound gorilla on the loose! A witness remarked, "Everyone was in panic, running away, screaming, wailing, screaming kids running around, I don't know what all, kids without parents—it was a total drama." Kids without parents and a 400-pound gorilla? That's not drama. That's some shit….

It may surprise you to know, but we don't really talk that much during the day. Sure, we answer the occassional phone call, or maybe strike up a short chat with the cutie barista down the way, but other than that not too many words cross our luscious lips. But when we read this article on a planned memoir by Nancy Heche (mama to once-lesbianic Anne) that employs and encourages many ex-gay tenants, we literally - and ironically - uttered, "Oh Lord."

What brought on such a surprising linguistic expression? This:

[Nancy's] husband Don Heche died of an AIDS related illness in 1983. "Don's death took us to the depths of despair. It was the savage, sickening end of our beautiful, perfect Christian family. What could be worse?" she writes.

Yeah, what could be worse? Certainly not genocide. Definitely not famine. This bigot's homo-husband dying of AIDS? The single worst thing that has happened in all of human history. Ever.

Alan Cumming is an actor who seems to have done it all: won a Tony, played an X-Man, written and directed. The multitalented Cumming recently answered some of Bradford Shellhammer’s questions about The L Word, the Threepenny Opera, and his fragrance line.

We cannot wait to catch you, Cyndi Lauper, and Nellie McKay in the Threepenny Opera. What you can you say about the production?
Right now not very much because I haven't started rehearsals. But I'm nonetheless very excited. I did a workshop about a year ago so it has been really great to feel that I can actually get through it! Also it's meant that in the last year ideas, the songs and parts of the character have been floating around in my mind. The biggest revelation about the workshop was discovering that Macheath is a sex addict. Who knew?

Tell us about your fragrance. What made you launch it?
It was really one of these crazy things that tend to happen to me! My friends Jason Schell & Christopher Brosius and I sort of all came up with the idea over a period of time and eventually we had one of these Judy/Mickey moments and said "Let's make the fragrance right here!" Christopher is a genius and I had worn various fragrances of his for years and Jason had these really fantastic ideas about how to market the fragrance. For me it has been real fun to provoke and subvert the whole notion of celebrity endorsement and at the same time have products that I really enjoy and am proud to add my name to. We now have 5 things–the fragrance, the cleanser [Cumming Clean], the body scrub [Cumming Off Buff], the body lotion [Cumming All Over], and the soap [Cumming in a Bar], all available at Cumming The Fragrance.

It's such a hilarious thing for me when every time I wash my hands the soap has my name on it. I'm also using it to help charities that I believe in. We're starting a program whereby each month we'll give a hefty percentage of our online sales to charity.

You are on the new season of The L Word. What character do you play?
I play a character called Billie Blaikie who comes into the series to run The Planet and generally spice things up. I had never seen the show before I shot my episodes, but I talked to the producers about the character and thought it sounded fun. The one thing I was adamant about was that I would have sex with a lesbian on the show. I think it's really good to mix things up a bit and to challenge people's perceptions about the ways sexuality is pigeonholed. So the idea of a bisexual man having sex with a lesbian was right up my alley. However, the type of sex I ended up having was a little more than I bargained for. It was the most graphic sex scene I have ever done. But I had great fun with all the girls and I got to have a different hairstyle and colour in each episode.

After the jump Alan explains why he wants to be the queer Martha Stewart.

Out Magazine profiles the top ten gay celebrity break-ups because, you know, why should Nick and Jessica get all the fun. Martina and Judy, Dolce and Gabbana, Melissa and Julie – they’re all there. But who made number one? Just ask Celestia:

Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche: When Ellen came out in 1997, it was with a roar that included her character coming out on her self-titled sitcom, a Time magazine cover, and a wonderfully public relationship with Heche. Both became outspoken activists, earning heaps of praise from the community and opening a lot of minds in the process. The couple went their separate ways in 2000. Ellen is now happily involved with actress Portia de Rossi, and Anne is married to cameraman Coley Laffoon.

Our only question: Don’t Renee and Kenny and Tom and Nicole count as gay splits? No? Oh, sorry, whatever were we thinking? Renee isn't gay.

&bull Poor Anne Heche. It’s bad enough she has to deal with a homophobic mother, but she now has to mourn the loss of her sister. RIP Susan Bergman. [Dallas Voice]

• Bizarro cartoonist Dan Piraro apologizes for unintentionally creating an anti-gay cartoon this past weekend. He didn’t, however, apologize for its failure to really make anyone laugh. [WFAA]

•Anne Heche's mom is speaking at a conference aimed at "preventing homosexuality." Turns out Ellen's ex is as weirded out by it as much as we are.

•Our excitement over the possibility of legalized same-sex marriages in Italy was a bit premature. We're not moving to Milan after all, but we're still shopping for new shoes.

•Oh yeah and it ain't happening in France anytime soon either.

•We love the 70's inspired cover art to Madonna's new ballad-free "Confessions on a Dance Floor." But there's something about her pose that gives us the impression she wants us to kiss her ass. Madge, we've already been doing that for 20 years now.

•Lesley Gore publicly admits she's a lesbian. We think a newly recorded single titled "It's My Coming Out Party" would be a great addition for our new Ipod.

•We hope yesterday’s report of a plan for a Sound of Music Museum wasn't what finally did in the film's director, Robert Wise. RIP.

•Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will meet with gay leaders next week to discuss California’s same-sex marriage bill. Well, he might. But only if James Cameron directs the meeting.

•For whatever reason, there are still people out there that believe gays make bad parents. The nerve! A report from the Brookings Institution proves the opposite. Two moms might actually be the BETTER way to go!

•Oh Come on. College kids are gonna do it anyway. This way they’ll at least get some cold hard cash for pot and beer.

•We haven’t heard from Anne Heche lately. Has she been out of work? She’d make a great teacher’s aide at an ex-Gay facility like Love in Action, helping “cure” people of their homosexuality. Too bad it’s being shut down.
