We called country singer Shelby Lynne's publicist to ask whether her client will announce her gayness the cover of People on May 5. "I don't have any information on that." How can a publicist not know the answer to that?

First the state was pulling the ol' Fake Prom grift on Constance McMillen, and now it's removing a butch-ish lesbian from her high school yearbook, entirely. That's what happened to Ceara Sturgis of Hazlehurst, MS, anyway.

Actress Michelle Rodriguez is hosting a party for GO Magazine. It's a lesbian magazine. (via)

So some RNC people got in trouble for using RNC money to pay for their strap-ons to be sharpened or whatever. But it turns out this was just an honest, pathetic attempt at reaching out to young people!

Lady Gaga's Telephone music video, which premieres tonight, shows the Lady of Gah tackling her penis rumor with burly prison lesbians who rip her clothes off and mutter, "I told you she didn't have a dick."

Kathy Griffin just played an over-the-top lesbian activist on Law & Order. It was so overblown, that it made us think that the portrayal of lesbians has been regressing recently. Inside, the historical arc of on-air girl-on-girl smooching.

AfterElton put together a sadly hopeful little roundup of "gay" TV pilots currently in various stages of development today. It got us thinking about the current slate of gay folks on TV, and wishing for some new variations.

An urgent, belated news bulletin: Lisa Guttilla, a gym teacher arrested Friday for illegally sexing up a 14 year-old girl, taught at the same high school as the famous Hot Sexxxy Lesbian Teachers. James Madison High's amazing current scandal tally:

This hot sexxxy lesbian teacher story is rapidly evolving, and we aim to keep you, our 14 year-old audience, up-to-date with all the day's enticing developments. The latest: One teacher has been spotted hanging around with women. And looking rock-n-roll!

Hot lesbian sex! Two hot sexxxy young lady teachers loved each other very much and they had some of the aforementioned hot lesbian sex right there in the schoolhouse, allegedly. There seems to be some public interest?

Last week at this time, nutty Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson was sitting behind bars, having been arrested for stealing jewelry, clothing, shoes, and underwear from a former model named Jasmine Lennard. (She was also accused of leaving behind a wet towel and used vibrator as her "calling card," but that's another story.)

Whether you think tabloid sex columnist Andrea Peyser is sexxxy or supersexxxy, you must marvel at her hat trick in today's column: Perpetrating the most pedestrian racist stereotypes against black people and Jews, and coming out as a lesbian.

First gay housewives, now lesbian housewives? We've seen everything. Or, we will, because Showtime picked up nine episodes of a new Sapphic reality show. Yay! It's title? Not so new: The L-Word: Los Angeles.

Leave it to the inestimable and always fabulous George Wayne of Vanity Fair to think of the one question that Rachel Maddow has never been asked before, despite the fact she's been interviewed 2,237 times over the past six months:

CNN doesn't talk about Anderson Cooper's sexuality. The network and anchor have their reasons. Jane Velez-Mitchell at CNN's Headline News is taking a slightly more open approach.

Congratulations are in order for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who married Saturday night in an intimate ceremony held on the grounds of their California home. The brides both wore Zac Posen and exchanged handwritten vows promising to love each other "in sickness and in health, for as long as no pesky cameramen get in the way." Attendance was capped at 19, all the better to exclude potential wedding crasher Barbara Walters. Still, the lesbian goddess giveth with one hand while she takes away with the other, for no sooner did the two marry than details of a sapphic Hollywood breakup emerged involving the famously "gone gay" Lindsay Lohan.

"Just found out the the former President of my company is a lesbian. She was married w/ 4 kids! HINT—I work in Publishing," whispers a snitch on the YouBeMom parenting messageboard. No, not Bonnie Fuller, the secret lesbian was an "editor," someone else chimes in. Or, wait: "Wasn't an editor, she was in Advertising.. she has her own company now." Despite the unholy thread that unspools, we still have no idea who the secret lesbian—posited to be somewhere inside Conde Nast—could be. In case you were wondering what else these moms have on their shriveled little minds:Other quality threads include,

Oh look, everyone's finally starting to catch on to the whole Lindsay Lohan/Samantha Ronson clambake. The Mirror is reporting that deejay Sam's deejay/producer brother Mark and his girlfriend approve of her lesbadoodle relationship with actress and former skiing enthusiast Lindsay. Mark's girlfriend Daisy (also a deejay?) says "Their relationship is totally genuine. And they're just so sweet together." Aw, that's nice. Couple that with the new Life & Style magazine cover (above), and it looks as though the mainstream celebrity-industrial complex is finally ready to accept what people like us have been talking about for a month. Though, heh, we were a little slow to catch on, too. Now I'm not going to get into the whole "this would be so much different if it were two men" thing, so I'll just leave you with a video of Ronson after the jump.

For some reason we are strangely obsessed with actress and reformed party girl Lindsay Lohan's totes heroic lesbian relationship. Maybe it's because we never saw it coming. Gay rumors just don't seem to affix themselves to female celebrities as much as they do to their hunky, becoiffed male counterparts (yoohooooo Chacey!) and she seemed to enjoy dating mens. Though maybe we should have detected some early signs. Look at the hungry gleam in the young actress's eyes as costar Rachel McAdams (where'd she go?) tells her a tale of Sapphistry in the 2004 film Mean Girls. Really, look at it! The video is above. If you need a more direct lesbian reading of the scene, you can read a revised transcript here. (Yes we realize that this is totally silly.)

As Alex Pareene once said with a certain joie de vivre, "Leave it to the French to [insert something racy here]." Well, it doesn't get much racier than advertising to the gays—unless it's advertising to the lesbians! So Paris Las Vegas is appropriating a bit of that fake French savoir faire for their new ad campaign, which features the understated slogan, "Everything's sexier in Paris Las Vegas." Points to them for being inclusive, in a rather blunt and unsophisticated way. Gay-targeted ad pictured; lesbian-targeted ad (the content of which you might be able to guess), after the jump.
