The year's drawing to a close, which means it's time for gay glossy Out to celebrate 100 homo movers-and-shakers who made 2008 so damn great!

The journos over there are slowly leaking some of their honorees, including Rachel Maddow, who tops the list. And with good reason - Maddow's catapulted to fame as a pundit over at MSNBC, which in turn gave her a prime time slot. Well done, Maddow.

Activist Evan Wolfson and NPR correspondent Ari Shapiro also made the cut, as did film makers Jarvez Sharma and Tom Kalin. You can see a few more of the honorees over at the mag's website.

Also, the Out team just sent out a press release informing us - and thereby the world - that comedienne Chelsea Handler will be hosting their annual Out 100 gala at Gotham Hall.

It's true what they say - everyone's a critic! New York based art dealer Sam Green says he's considering a lawsuit after being depicted as a bit bent in director Tom Kalin's new flick, Savage Grace. The movie, which tells the tale of heiress Barbara Baekeland and her murderous, incestuous lover son, Tony, shows a scene in which "Green" and Tony - played by Hugh Dancy and Eddie Redmayne - get down and dirty. And Green's not pleased.

[Green] told Page Six the R-rated flick, which opened in limited release last month, depicts him having a homosexual romp with Tony, who often brought young men home for sex.

"I never went to bed with the son. I had an affair with the mother, but they made the rest up," Green fumed.
…
Green told us he has no problem being depicted as one of the many characters who hung around the Baekelands. But a scene in which he and Tony have sex simply never happened, he insists.

Green and his lawyer are now considering a defamation suit. Savage Grace's producers, however, says the movie comes with a disclaimer saying some characters are "composites," the easiest of easy outs! (And, quite frankly, good - we can't stand when people get twisted about being thought gay.)
