Oprah only gives away cars. Take that! On today's even-more-very-special-than-usual episode of The Tyra Banks Show, Isis King, the transgender model on America's Next Top Model Cycle 11 gets the surprise of a lifetime when Tyra gives her a gift that truly will keep on giving: A sex reassignment surgery.

Should we be thoroughly delighted that Isis will get to fulfill her longstanding dream or furious that a deeply personal decision is being transformed into a ratings circus? Can we both at the same time? We loved Isis on ANTM– not only was she able to pull off some fierce looks but she patiently kept at explaining that she was not a man dressing up like a woman, but a woman born into the biological body of a man.

Oh, it's on!

RuPaul and her team at Logo just released the trailer for the drag star's new show, RuPaul's Drag Race, which pits queens against each other in a battle to the death. Okay, not the death, but a battle to see who will be crowned America's best drag queen.

And, as in the show's announcement, RuPaul takes some jabs at Tyra Banks, declaring, "Step back girl! The queen has returned." And with the most flattering lighting possible.

Check it out, after the jump…

Like so many courageous people before him, JC Chasez gathered his strength, put on a brave face and had a heart-to-heart with Tyra Banks.

The girls had some small, publicist-approved talk about the singer's dance show, career history and the like, but things soon veered toward the queer when Banks brought up Chasez's former bandmate, Lance Bass.

Like the self-proclaimed pro she is, Banks repeatedly presses Chasez on whether he suspected Bass like boys. Chasez is for more experienced, however, and rebuffs her efforts by saying he never likes to make presumptions. Well played!

Having struck out on the gay angle, Banks then delves in Chasez's much gabbed about love life. He claims not to have a girlfriend at the moment, but makes sure to mention that he has had girlfriends. Yeah, so have we.

Chasez goes on to say that he would potentially have a "partner" if he could get dragged out of "the studio". Indeed…

We're not exactly sure what Tyra Banks and Janet Jackson were discussing in the moments before this clip. And, quite frankly, we don't want to know…

Doomed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee recently sat down with model Tyra Banks. And, as you know, Banks felt obligated to bring up the gays, who all love her, and asked the Republican why he's such a hater. Huckabee insists he's not a homophobe, of course, he just doesn't find our queer "lifestyle" normal.

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee popped into The Tyra Banks Show for some girl talk last week.

We can't watch the exchange until this Friday, but a very helpful Banks staffer sent over the transcript of Banks and the Huckster talking about the gays. Because, as Tyra declares, "I love the gays and the gays love me. And I know I cannot walk down the street here in New York City if I didn't press that issue and truly ask you that." Girl, you know it's true.

So, what does Huckabee have to say for himself? Nothing new, really, except his language seems to be softer. We aren't the necrophiliacs we once were; we're just missing the mark:

TYRA BANKS: I know that you are a preacher; do you believe that homosexuality is immoral?

GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: Well, I think a lot of things in our lives are missing the mark. The word sin means missing the mark. It doesn't mean that a person has committed murder… So I think sometimes if you say is it a sin or immoral and people think you're making these terrible statements about somebody. I've had people who are gay that worked on my staff. It's not like I'm some homophobe. If you ask me is it the normal pathway? I don't think so. But, you know, I respect that people have different views about that.

Well, good. We're glad you "respect" that we don't think gay folk are freaks. That's very kind of you, Schmuckabee.

Roseanne Barr knows a good thing when she sees it!

The comedienne received such widespread press for her recent harangue against "Barak" Obama and Oprah, that she decided to take another stab at sociopolitical commentary. This time Barr takes on Oprah's apparent crime against Hillary Clinton:

oprah winfrey has refused to do a show with the FIRST WOMAN candidate for President who has EVER won a primary election, in the history of the United States of America.

I saw Hilary on the ridiculous tyra banks' show, and fumed. Hilary deserves to have been able to address the huge female demographic that Oprah's billions came from. How very disgusting, and how very very telling!!

Maybe if Hilary was discussing her fat thighs Oprah would have had her on. Oprah doesn't really seem to respect the intelligence of her audience at all.

Or, more likely, Oprah realized it would be disingenuous to (very publicly) endorse a candidate and then host a competitor.

• President Bill Clinton be tired of MLK.

• Cuban commies considering queer unions.

• You need new shoes. Let Refinery29 influence your decision.

• Christian school didn't break law with lesbian student boot, says California judge.

• Resurrected GOP icon and gay porn star Matt Sanchez may have lost his mind. Jeremy Hooper had an email exchange with him and it's pretty nonsensical. Sanchez seems to think "horndog" is a gay term of endearment. Because being horny's a good thing or because we all talk like overgrown boys?

Hillary Clinton appears on today's Tyra Banks Show. Here's a clip of the ladies discussing Bill Clinton's little affair. And, no, Bank still has not learned the meaning of tact: "Were you embarrassed? I'd be embarrassed!"

God Tyra's a twat! And we love it!

Hillary Clinton will appear on the Tyra Banks Show this Friday. Apparently she's in desperate need of the dumb tart vote.

Of course Tyra asks the hard hitting questions, like what we're meant to call Bill if Hillary wins the White House. Hillary's response? "Here are some of the things that have been suggested, like ‘ First Mate.’ His Scottish friends say ‘First Laddy.’ But we need ideas…I’ll just keep calling him Bill.”

Awwww, don't it just make you want to squeeze Clinton's cheeks?

We almost kind of feel bad for Tyra Banks. Almost.

I’d go to work [on ‘The Tyra Banks Show’], and women would be crying in my arms…But then I’d go home and put my key in my door and … nothing. No friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I’m at work but so empty when I come home.

No offense, Banks, but we're not surprised…
