Lindsay Lohan on Project Rungay
LOHAN’S PROJECT RUNWAY: Lindsay Lohan did a guest-judge spot on Project Runway’s Season Six premiere on Lifetime. She made valuable contributions, looked pretty, and offered genuine insight for the “red carpet” challenge. The allegedly not-gay contestant Ari Fish that we queerstioned a few weeks back got sent home last night, despite (or perhaps because of!) her incredible resemblance to Samantha Ronson.
LADY KISSES ARE SO GAY: That’s so Gay does the Lady Kiss story! You know, how ladies kiss ladies on the television and then are like, “that was okay” but the lovelorn feelings-filled young lesbian thirteen year old has already muted that part and uploaded the rest & played the kiss on loop 40 times on an animated gif on their myspace profile? Righhhtttt?
OCTOMOM: Grim & Grimmer: Nadya Suleman’s 7-Year-Old Says Something Awful – excerpts from the two hour documentary on Octomom are weird, confusing, just like Octomom. (@jezebel)

LESBIAN MOVIE SEX: In the movie Black Swan, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex.
AMANDA BEARSE: Married With Children‘s Amanda Bearse came out BeforeEllen: “My first manager, ironically a gay man, almost threatened me. He basically said, ‘You read like a dyke and you need to watch that.’ I’ve always been sort of a tomboy, but I thought, ‘I can act and I can play straight people.’ That was a little scary.” (@watermark)
+News & Politics
THIS IS HOW TO START A RUCKUS: If people over 65 in each state made the laws, 0 states would have gay marriage; if people under 30 made the laws, 38 states would have gay marriage. (@truth/slant)
WOMYN IN BUSINESS: Feministing objects to Fast Company’s story on the 100 Most Creative People in Business – “Only 24 of the top 100 Fast Money’s “Most Creative People in Business” list were women. Really Fast Company? Women are launching businesses at twice the rate of men … Between 1997 and 2006, the number of majority women-owned businesses increased 42%.” (@feministing)
HEY HO WE WON’T GO: We have been obsessed with the truth on this matter for some time and now it is here: How Much to Protests Matter? (@nytimes freakonomics)
CANADUH! Stratford, Ontario is the Gayest little town in Canada. Really it is. (@cnews)
FACTBOX: U.S. laws on gay marriage, civil unions – A cheat sheet. (@reuters)
SAME SEX MARRIAGE: Same-sex marriage lawsuit: Too much,Too soon? If the federal constitutional lawsuit doesn’t succeed, will Mr. Olson and Mr. Boies return to their high-powered law practice, leaving it to gay rights organizations to pick up the pieces? (@huffington post)
HOMELESS GAYS: Gay youths say street, not shelters, are the only option. (@the star)
The Modern Family Award – Sophie T on Daily Fix 8.17: “We used to go on family outings to an ostrich farm when I was little; one time took an ostrich egg home to eat. Its possible I had an odd childhood.”

from Intern X:
I’m playing to the nerd contingency today. Do you like owls, bears, and small children? Well this web-comic Daisy Owl is about an owl who finds two orphaned children and raises them on his own. Also he has a friend names Steve who is a bear and works for a honey company. Do you need further convincing? Didn’t think so, go check it out!

from Riese:
My favorite fiction writer Lorrie Moore is interviewed in Elle Magazine about her new novel!! You could go buy Elle, or you could save your money for the novel and read about the interview on Jezebel.
despite (or perhaps because of!) her incredible resemblance to Samantha Ronson.

She DID look like SamRo! Hilarious.
The truth/slant article made me a little ageist, I’ve got to say. Although we can’t make generalizations- my grandma is the most liberal minded person you could every meet and a member of PFLAG to boot.
Also now you say it, of course Ari Fish looks like Samantha! Genius.
Thorton you should come out then post about it here! It would be an awesome chain reaction if you did.
It’s Stratford, Ontario, not Stanford. And it’s true, even the swans are gay there.
oopsie, Intern X is dyslexic. Anyhow, I’ve been there! I’ve been to Stratford to see Shakespeare Festival they do there. We all fell asleep during 12thnight and then they banged this big gong and we were like HELLO CANADA
i fell asleep during the tempest. and one of those faggy swans attacked me by the river. best drama class field trip ever.
wowza. am honoured to have made did you see that comment, probs my biggest achievement of the week other than waking up before 12 somedays.
also, I would like to move to Stratford now.
Awesome True Blood video.
i also wish i knew what ‘I LOVE FEEL IT IN MY BONES’ refers to. i have a feeling it’s a very important piece of my vernacular that i am missing.
it’s the name of the tiesto/tegan and sara track that came out this week.
http://stereogum.com/archives/video/new-tiesto-feat-tegan-sara-feel-it-in-my-bones-stereogum-premiere_084901.html
Feel It In My Bones is the new track that Tegan and Sara did with Tiesto. It will be on his album that comes out in October, but it has been streaming on stereogum as a little teaser- check it out!
