There will be soon be a gaping hole on British newsstands.

Gay glossy AXM announced today that they will no longer publish their print edition and will instead shift their focus to the new-fangled internet:

Kim Watson, media director at Millivres, said: “Plans are currently in hand to relaunch AXM, its content and gay youth audience to digital media platforms with other online youth brands Puffta and Postive Adam. We will be announcing the launch of these new platforms at the end of the month.”

Tris Reid-Smith, [a] consultant editor of AXM, said: “The definitive factor is that we feel the digital media format is very attractive to the demographic we’re reaching – which is principally aimed at young gay men. We feel that format is going to be more attractive to our readers and advertisers in the future.”

The final print edition goes to press on November 4th. Prepare accordingly.

Finally! After years of wondering and warring, we finally know which British prince the bent boys prefer:

More than a third those questioned expressed a desire for a romance with Harry while William received 23 per cent of the vote. A third of the single gay men said they would steer clear of both.

William's girlfriend Kate Middleton was named as the most lusted after royal date among the nation's lesbians.

The Prince Charming poll was conducted by dating website gay-PARSHIP.com and found that 23 per cent of lesbians wanted to date Miss Middleton compared with just 18 per cent who wanted to get close to [Harry's girlfriend] Chelsy Davy.

Well, now that that's settled…

"She stood in line to get the perfume and a signed copy of my book. So we chatted and bonded. We have a lot in common. She's down to earth; I'm down to earth. In business, I use the skills I picked up as a ski champion rather than shooting moose, but there's nothing wrong with that." - Rich lady Ivana Trump on former beauty queen Sarah Palin, who drove two hours to attend the Alaska launch of Trump's perfume.

Poor Lindsay Lohan. The paps may love her, but the Sapphic-seeming actress can't catch a break with her fellow celebrities, including the far less fabulous Chace Crawford:

…As super-pregnant M.I.A. performed at the Diesel XXX party in Dumbo, Lindsay Lohan desperately tried to get the attention of Chace Crawford. Lohan, who launched her 6126 line at Henri Bendel last night, pulled on the "Gossip Girl" boy's shirt and grabbed his shoulder, but "Crawford was more interested in talking with Taylor Momsen," our spy said.

Lohan got dissed again at Madonna's Madison Square Garden show Sunday when Madge gave Kelly Ripa her mike during her rendition of "Give It to Me" instead of to the rehabbed starlet, who was standing next to Ripa in the front row.

At least Lilo's always got Sam Ronson, right?

America's Next Top Model's Miss J (Alexander) and Mister Jay (Manuel) are getting their own show, far, far away from that crazy monster known as Tyra Banks. The problem? The new show's premise has already been done before.

Many, many times.

Here's the description of the new Operation Fabulous:

'Jay and J' (as Manuel and Alexander are called on Top Model) will travel the country giving women makeovers. In various towns, the duo will select five participants and give them Top Model-style overhauls — how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.

Madonna's not nice. "The Swedish pop star Robyn was psyched when the Material Mom invited her to open for a handful of her European concerts but quickly found out there are rules. Robyn told her hometown Swedish paper that she and her crew were told "not to approach Madonna, not to speak to Madonna and, above all, no pictures… I hadn't expected any glamour, but it's strange that they assume that the first thing you're gonna do is run after Madonna and ask for an autograph. My worst nightmare would be to turn into Madonna." We take it Madge won't be inviting Robyn back for an encore. [NY Post]

"…FremantleMedia North America, producers of hit shows like American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Price is Right, this week named former gay adult film star Billy Kemp as the company’s new Vice-President of Casting and Talent. Working under the name, Jordan Young, Kemp starred in and wrote a string of hit gay porn titles in the 90’s and was at one time even the roommate of legendary gay porn director and producer, Chi Chi La Rue."
