Out magazine finally unveiled its hush-hush Out 100 cover. As you can see, Jennifer Hudson, choreographer Bill T. Jones, Mad Men's Bryan Batt, Mary-Louise Parker and our future husband/designer Thom Brown grace the gay glossy's mammoth year end issue.

These luminaries and 96 others will be honored tonight at the monthly's queer celebration. Yes, we said "96" - the Out staffers just revealed that Annie Lennox will be named the "Humanitarian Of The Year" for AIDS activism. We're dispatching our editor and camera man to record all the fun, so tune in Monday for all the homo highlights.

• “OK, I can't tell you why Paul Newman, Steve Carell, and Hugh Laurie are gay, but at this point, the game is lost. The Globes. Are Gay.” [Law Dork]

• “Gwenyth's dress looked like a Project Runway disaster. Being pregnant is no excuse lady.” [Exceptional Mediocrity]

• “And there was something very satisfying about Mary Louise Parker's win for Weeds as all four of the Desperate Housewives looked on. You could almost hear snubbed housewife Nicollette Sheridan's satisfied clucks as the schadenfreude settled over that table.” [Towleroad]

• “That little sound you heard from the direction of Chelsea was Andy Towle flinging himself out a window: Heath Ledger loses "Best Actor" to Philip Seymour Hoffman.” [The Malcontent]

• “When Teri Hatcher told Isaac Mizrahi she wasn't wearing underwear, and he looked like he might throw up.” [Jossip]
