So I guess Lindsay Lohan kind of officially came out? She “admitted” she was dating Sam Ronson? I don’t think saying that you’ve been seeing someone for a very long time is really the same as blurting out “I’m Gay/Queer/Lesbian/Trans” but whatever. Across the pond, The Mirror seems to think her response on Loveline was good enough to qualify as an official outting. I’m personally a little more concerned because Lindsay and Sam’s relationship has begun to affect my friend’s dreams.

Amy:  i had a dream last night that ended with me holding lindsey lohan while she sobbed and was o’ding on drugs
actually i kind of like saved her from o’ding on drugs
i was sam ronson
haah it was freakishly vivid
i was sobbing too….it was very intense, watching lindsey od on herion
lindsey’s eyes were like rolling back in here head
and we were in this like darkened forest glen thing
me:  omg
so amazing!
Amy:  it was the kind of think where i woke up and was like, ‘oh god i hope i’m not crying or making weird noises or something” ahhaha cause i was with [guy she is dating]
hahah dreaming about lindsey lohan
me:  haha!
and about being her lesbian lover
Amy:  well it was like, waaaaayy more intesnse then that
like i don’t know if we were really romantically invovled
but it was some like “YOU ARE THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS” shit
hahah
me:  soooo good
Amy:  hahah
now i can’t stop thinking about lindsey lohan
i mean shit, maybe i should write her a letter

Did y’all see Gossip Girl last night? Because it was pretty good. It was basically like the first time I watched Gossip Girl where I was so happy to be slightly scandalized by a tween show that is somehow held together by the narrations of Kirsten Bell who actually just plays the voice of a blog. A blog, people. So funny, this world of new media we live in. Especially when that world involves high schoolers having sex, throwing illicit parties, and tossing tossing around like it’s old lira.

Last night we saw (SPOILERS AHEAD just in case you DVRed this mutha’) a new character introduced who goes from being innocent to being in cahoots with Chuck in the course of the hour. We also saw a step mother/step son affair, which could be categorized as incest. We also saw Vanessa fuck up the complicated machinations of Blair’s revenge, but it’s kind of understandable because she’s too poor to know how these things work. We also were introduced to my new favorite drink, the “Nair-tini,” and saw Serena start to take on a new role as queen bitch. Also dumb lacrosse players. Basically it was everything I watch the show for. I’m not going to do a full re-cap, since other sites do that perfectly well, but my good friend Ben and I twittered the entire thing, and I think our live reactions are a pretty good supplement to any plot recap you might read elsewhere. After the jump, our OMFG moments (yes, I just said that). Read More!

What’s up with all the Asian insect threats going on in the burroughs these days? We have Northern Snakehead fish in queens, Aisan Longhorned Beetles eating our trees… and now the dangerous Asian Tiger Mosquito has come this last summer to bite us from up to half a mile away?

I have a strange and unnatural immunity to mosquitoes. I get bitten sometimes, but normally the itching and swelling goes down within an hour. I’ve beentold that consuming large amounts of Vitamin B, which would make sense considering my Sparks and Red Bull consumption both of which have large amounts of B vitamins, but the New York Times doesn’t believe that to be true. I’m going to speculate instead that it’s from the time when I lived in the East Village above a roof that had pools of standing water and didn’t have the sense to buy a screen for my window. Point is, I haven’t even noticed the presence of these mosquitos, but all my friends seem to be getting more bites. But it seems New York’s environment is in danger guys.

Is it just me, or is does there seem like there’s some sort of inherent xenophobia and racism behind all of this? Is it coincidence that these are all from Asia? Can I call them AZN? The AZN Tiger Mosquito? Are AZNs responsible for environmental disruptions in New York? Does this have any relationship to the amount of work international superstar Bai Ling has been getting? Becuase she has ten upcoming movies, guys, andI’m not sure how she’s gone from being a gratuitous fashion accessory villain in The Crow to having ten soon to be released movies.

Stop destroying our natural city environments, Bai Ling.

I sometimes make jokes about being a man-baby or how my friends behave like manbabies. But I just found out about this gem from 1973 about an actual manbaby. Enter The Baby:

Seriously I’m speechless.

Here’s another clip about what happens when breastfeeding continues into adulthood. It actually is borderline terrifying, but then the terrible mother appears and something about her is so reminiscent of Joan Crawford that I start cracking up.

I’m gonna watch the shit out of this movie this weekend.

You know who doesn’t know that out economy is going under? Damien Hirst. He recently sold The Golden Calf for £10,345,250. (via Towleroad. What? Towleroad reports on art? I had no idea).This is what it looks like.

When I look at this piece, it basically looks like a vanity piece for some astrology obsessed gay who’s a Sagittarius and loves the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He’ll place it next to his unicorn tapestries.

I have difficulty understanding how anyone would spend so much money on this. At this point in time, Damien Hirst and other artists, such as Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami, have become more of an industry label. They have entire studios with throngs of artists making work that they then put their name on. So how can any individual piece they sell at this point be considered an important part of art history or a good investment to someone with millions to spend on a new piece for their collection? Good friend and confidant Paul explained it to me today: Read More!

Have I mentioned how much I love Queen Latifa, or Queefa, as I like to call her? Well I do. If I didn’t think the idea of having a gay diva was totally an abhorrent and disgusting social construct, she might be my gay diva. U-N-I-T-Y.

This got passed along to me today.

11:30am- 3:00pm

DGA Theater
110 W 57th Street (btw 6th & 7th Avenues)
New York, New York 10019

I’m totally confused why this is a full day event. I can’t really imagine what sort of probing questions B-E-T will be asking her that take three and a half hours to answer. Queen must have a long and complicated story about how she became a big, bodacious spokesperson for Covergirl. Do ya’ll think they’ll ask her about her lesbianism? With rumors of La Lo getting hitched to Samantha Ronson, I think she should really start talking about it.

Also, do any of you know what the deal is with The Secret Life of Bees? Is it like the National Geographic movie“The Secret Life of Cats” that I once borrowed from the New York Public Library? I heard that “The Secret Life of Bees” also has Dakota Fanning in it. Is that the movie where Dakota Fanning gets raped by a hound dog?

It’s been fashion week for a while now I guess? I really couldn’t care less. However, I did take a moment to peruse upcoming must-haves (must-not-haves?) of the next season.

Do you guys know much about models? Because I don’t, so maybe this person is someone famous and I’m just uninformed about fashions. But I am thinking that Marc Jacobs might have snuck a trans model into his show last night.

So let’s play a game. Tranny or Not Tranny. It’s like Deal or No Deal, except you won’t win anything and there’s not a bevy of ex-beauty pageant ladies opening up mystery briefcases that may or may not contain bombs. That’s what happens on Deal or No Deal, right? Briefcase bombs?

Have you guys seen the trailer for Gus Van Sant’s Milk yet? You probably have. It’s been all over the webs since last night. Unfortunately I am not a professional blogger so it takes until my lunch break to write about these things. Sorry, ya’ll.

I almost got the chance to be an extra in this. It was filmed in San Francisco back in February, two days after I left from a vacation that coincidentally put me there at the same time. While it may not be as cool as that time I was a sextra, I was really bummed about this because I was excited to have a mustache, wear flannel, and parade in the streets. I thought it would have been a highly bloggable experience. Because that’s how I measure value these days. In our post modern world of interconnecting nets, my self worth is only measured by the traffic my next blog entry generates.

Thankfully, because of the Youtubes, I can experience what it was like to be part of this film making experience through someone’s shaky, hand held footage posted on the internet. Read More!

Labor Day has passed and now my life is over for a while until the warm days come again. My only consolation is that Gossip Girl, the most important show of the ’00s, is back on the air. I was going to recap it and all, but Gabe Delahaye has already done a brilliant job of that over at Videogum. He basically has stolen any meaning I could possibly find in life now that we’ve begun this season of no summer Fridays. Sometimes I have difficulty knowing how our forefathers found the motivation to live in the times before we could recap fall television for blogs.

But they had a White Party on Gossip Girl last night? Isn’t that a AIDS fundraiser thrown by gays for other  gays so that they can justify a reason to take ecstasy and engage in risky behavior while listening to house music? Although I’m kind of glad to find out via last night’s GG that Tinsley Mortimer supports gays and their parties by showing up at them. Remember when J-Lo showed up drunk to White Party in Palm Springs and sang her hit, “Waiting for Tonight”?

God, she was such a mess. It was amazing. I love it when drunk girls come and hang out with gays. It’s nice that they can feel comfortable getting wasted around us since we’re not sexually threatening. In any other environment they might get date raped. Fight violence against women, guys.

So, was everyone on ecstasy at the Gossip Girl White Party last night? Read More!

How do you guys feel about Michelle Obama? I love her. I’m totally a fan of hers on Facebook. Nothing represents truer love than the kind advertised through social networking sites. Nothing.

But seriously, I love her. Did you know that she wears “pearls you have to deal with”?

This last week I fell in love with her even more at the DNC. The following video is some highlights of her time in the media’s eye so far, from her new signature greeting to the way she stands by her man to how she doesn’t wear pantyhose.  She also REALLY loves to talk about the time when women finally got the right to vote. Remember that time? Those suffragists were really great. Miss them so much.
