» Represent!
Way to go gays! Neil Patrick Harris and Cynthia Nixon have both been nominated for Emmy Awards. Harris won the "outstanding actor" nod for his role on How I Met Your Mother, while Nixon received the honor for her guest role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Lee Pace, meanwhile, received an nomination for his role on the superb ABC series Pushing Daisies. The awards air September 21st on ABC. [Emmys] |
» Tough Titties.
The New York Post speculated last week that breast cancer survivor Cynthia Nixon had a tit job. Nixon, however, says they're stupid butt holes, but not in those words: "I was at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital for my 'three-monthly' checkup. I was in the Oncology Department. I guess they think that means 'plastic surgery.'… We got a call from [the Post] asking if I'd had breast augmentation, and my publicist laughed at them and said, 'No, of course not.' But they printed it anyway." [NYDN] |

» Loaded Question…
"Has anyone else noticed that the normally private actress has been talking endlessly about her lesbian relationship while promoting her new movie?" [NY Mag] |
|
Or, Rather, There...
Yes, you read that right: a film based around New York City came out in England first. That sort of stings a bit. And we think this geographical diss has our colleague Whitney Little a bit bitter: "As expected, Sarah Jessica Parker stole the spotlight — much to the other stars’ dismay — with a ridiculous bird on top of her head." We, meanwhile, think the hat's fab! More pictures over at Mollygood. |

If it becomes legal I think we would… It's something my girlfriend is interested in and it was not something my boyfriend ever was. Rumors have been swirling that the gals already have plans to tie the knot in Vermont, land of the lesbian. |

…The experience has prompted lesbian Nixon's desire to cement her union to [Chris] Marinoni with an official declaration of the couple's commitment to one another. One can never be quite sure what to make of Enquirer based stories, but we're hoping this one's true. We love a wedding, especially when it's of the homo variety. |

Lesbian actress Cynthia Nixon kept her breast cancer secret for over two years, but now the red-headed beauty's speaking out to raise awareness. Here she is chatting about her mother's battle and her own. No, it's not glamorous or gossipy, but it's awesome - like everything Nixon does. Nixon also opened up about how her diagnosis affected her lady love, Christine Marinoni: Talking openly about a relationship she had refused to discuss, she said: "My girlfriend was the one doing the eating. She was in a panic - and just trying to calm herself down any way she could." She also revealed her children, who know about the illness, now call both of them "mum", adding "they love her". Aww, that's enough to make us want kids. Or a lesbian girlfriend. Toss-up… |
» Inspiration.
Red-headed lesbian Cynthia Nixon accepted a Point Foundation role model award earlier this week and told the crowd, including her Sex and The City co-stars, that having other gays around can be as important as any action: "When you're a young gay person, you yearn for nothing so much as the presence of other gay people - most especially, an older generation of gay people who can encourage and inspire you." You ain't gray yet, lady! [Digital Spy] |

The Sex and The City actress previously talked box with John Polly, and now Ben Widdicombe passes on some quotes from a forthcoming OK!: "I'm in a fantastic relationship. It's been about four years," Nixon, 41, said. That whole family's aflame! |

It’s funny, when I announced and said, “Yes I'm dating a woman,” it freaked people out a lot. I think people have a hard time separating us from our characters. So people were like, “Miranda is GAY!???” And there were all these crazy things I would read in the paper, like “…but Miranda kissed a girl and she didn't like it. And Samantha’ s had a lesbian lover, shouldn’t she be the one?” Actually, we've dated so many useless men that lesbianism has seemed appealing. |

• When Cynthia Nixon talks about her relationships with men, she's basically just saying "they helped me figure out I like the muff much, much better." [LSE] • Yes, The Real World is still on the air and continues to tape new seasons. The only way to get us takling about it, of course, is with their gay cast members. It also doesn't hurt if said gay cast members visit gay pride parades, as Denver's Davis did. [Towleroad] • Star Jones is officially quitting The View in mid-July, which means no more egregious product placements. Well, at least until Rosie O'Donnell shows up in September. [MollyGood] |

For us, last night was dedicated to Entourage and Tourgasm. But we hear this was a little awards show last night, too. Something called the .. Tony's? Why yes, of course! You think we snatch up free theatre tickets from publicists and then stop caring about Broadway? Certainly not. Last night's top winner, much to our surprise, was The History Boys, a British import that we had the pleasure of seeing during previews. The History Boys picked up six awards, including best actor, which went to Richard Griffiths (and was presented by Broadway dud Julia Roberts). Across the stage, Jersey Boys and The Drowsy Chaperone also led the pack with four and five awards each, respectively. Meanwhile, Oprah's The Color Purple, up for 11 nominations, snagged only one: LaChanze for best actress-musical. Harry Connick Jr.'s The Pajama Game didn't go home empty handed, and neither did Rabbit Hole star Cynthia Nixon, who picked up the best actress-play Tony. Now all she needs is an Oscar. |
