• Actress JoAnne Worley fulfilled her The Drowsy Chaperone obligations and made a "special appearance" at J&R Music and Computer World yesterday. We love you Worley, but you look like a drag queen in this picture.

• Preliminary investigation begins for Larry Craig ethics hearing. Barbara Boxer says:

We are in the process of conducting a preliminary inquiry, and this stage is always closed to the public. If, at the end of the preliminary inquiry, the Ethics Committee decides to move into the adjudicatory phase, any hearings held would be public unless the committee votes to close them. But that is a decision that is made after we have completed our preliminary inquiry.

The Democrats are also reportedly worried public hearings will set a potentially embarrassing precedent.

Lynne Cheney took to the boob tube yesterday to promote her new book, Blue Skies, No Fences.

In addition to defending her husband, calling Vice President Dick Cheney a "terrific guy", the 66-year old second lady discusses how times have changed. For example, her generation didn't always welcome the homos, "[The times] were hard on kids who were gay". No thanks to the Republican party, of course.

Since birthing lesbian daughter Mary, Lynne says she - and society- have "evolved":

I think the society has evolved. I've evolved in my way of thinking, but I think the whole society has evolved. You know, my mother had a rule which was people are just people.

Speaking of people, Cheney's interviewer, Rita Braver, happens to be married to a lawyer who helped Cheney get published.
