Is the scorching Hollywood trend of straight actors dabbling with gay roles trickling upwards to the boardrooms of media conglomerates? With just a few added ellipses, this excerpt from the NYT's Sunday Q&A with Sumner Redstone on Viacom's new power structure (CEO Redstone on top of co-presidents Les Moonves and Tom Freston) becomes three buddies drinking some wine over dinner "meetings," then letting their more "creative" sides emerge.

[Redstone:] The three of us have been friends for a long time. I’ve had...meetings with Les, with Tom, separately, together. We’ve dined together. And people may play that down, but I think that...it’s a way to create relationships, or friendship, and trust. And what we have are three guys who like each other who are friends and who trust each other and who are hell-bent on more creativity...And the best example was a recent resurrection, by me, of the gay channel.
