Now, I have something very random to ask all you phantoms who won't email me your thoughts. But, here goes it... Why is everyone all just like, 'Awwww, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are SO cute. They're just SO cute together!' AND, people are all like, 'Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi are adorable! They're so cute!'

I've said it too. BUT, when I saw these pics today on a site with the caption that, "Lindsay and Samantha are so cute!" it kind of pissed me off. Why is a relationship with two females always referred to as cute?! Gay male relationships are usually referred to as 'hot' or a 'good couple' but not simply 'cute.'

Sure, people say straight couples are cute, but I can't shake the feeling that part of the reason why girl on girl is "cute" is because some people don't get it, it's kind of shocking. You mean, two women can be in a relationship without a penis and they can actually be happy? That's cute!' - just a thought that I would LOVE to hear your take on.

Am I digging for something here? Because I don't think I am, really. Time and time again it's the lesbian couples who are consistently referred to as cute, it's sexist, it's borderline homophobic and it's bullshit.

PLEASE use my contact tab. I'm getting more annoyed and intrigued about this by the second.

Plus, I CAN'T believe People magazine is outing Lindsay, check it.

Holding hands and gazing into each other eyes, the couple dined in a cozy, candlelit corner table at Gemma late Monday evening. The two looked quite happy, sitting next to each other as they chatted and laughed in a dark corner of the popular restaurant alongside Ronson's brother Mark and a male friend.

As some of you know, I'm African American, so, of course, I'm luvin' this story.

In the world of fashion magazines, a black model on the cover of the publication is is a rare occurrence. The justification for this disparity is often that issues with black cover models don't sell.

This month, however, the so-called "black" issue of Italian Vogue has proven that theory to be at least somewhat flawed.

As reported by UK news source The Guardian, in the past four weeks, the issue has caused such a phenomenal demand at news-stands in Britain and the United States that Condé Nast, the publisher, has rushed to reprint and distribute 40,000 more copies.

The July 'black issue' sold out in Britain on arrival. Borders bookstores in the country have reported that demand was up 654% from the previous issue.

"It has been unprecedented, a sensation, although that wasn't the aim," said Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Condé Nast International. Here in the States, the issue is shrink-wrapped and stickered with the words "First Reprint. The Most Wanted Issue Ever."

"There is a climate shift. This is the year of the presidential election. And this at a time when magazine sales are really hurting."

The issue isn't new for Hunt, who wrote a piece about the absence of black models a year ago which was generally met with silence from the industry. Now, she says, everyone is eager to quote the article.

I gotta try to get my ass to Europe asap. See people, this is why I wanted to go visit. I wasn't planning on getting laid, I was planning on getting LAID - all caps. Hehe.

Before his DUI arrest, Shia ironically spoke with Details magazine about boozin' it up with his father, a former heroine junkie living in his garage.

"We would drink together and smoke together, and it's just a bad deal. It's not something that is conducive to being a role model�"no iconic actors that I know of have problems like that. And I don't know how to do it like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink."

Shia hits newsstands Monday, August 5.

I still don't know why they would make a part 2 to this boring ass movie. I saw it, like, opening weekend and I was so bored. Where the hell were the sex scenes? I didn't care that it featured teens, I wanted some action, dammit. And the story line is just dumb. Four bitches, one of em being very curvy at the time, America Ferrera, can fit into the same pair of jeans and they take turns wearing it because it's, like, majestic and shit?Continue Reading...

Nelly is looking damn good in his Sean Jean underwear ad, and they didn't even have to grease him up first.

They're stuck in the 80s and they match. Ugh!

Fresh from an appearance at San Diego's Comic-Con convention, Paris Hilton returns to L.A. â€" and makes quality time for her boyfriend, Benji Madden, who joined the heiress for a shopping trip Monday at L.A.'s Fred Segal store.

"It's funny," Timberlake says in the new issue of Fashion Rocks magazine. "I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. I've heard him make that statement before."

I really don't like JT's conceited ass and his beak nose. Who cares who made trucker hats popular? They've been out of style for the past few years, but not as outta style as that headline "Crazy, Sexy Cool"?!! TLC dropped that album in the 90s. Shameful.

Yesterday it was revealed that the ho in the truck Shia banged up is Isabel Lucas, Adrian Grenier's girlfriend. Another male was also in the truck. Threesome anyone?

Isabel Lucas may have earned herself a slave for life on the Transformers 2 set.

Shia LaBeouf's Australian costar was riding in the actor's truck when he had his early morning DUI crash on Sunday.

This is a tough call?!!!! Dayum. Who's better - Adrian or Shia? Shia or Adrian? Adrian or, okay, you get it. And, you already know what I'm gonna say ... I'd take 'em both, but Adrian wouldn't have to do any work. He could just lay there while I work him out and repeatedly tell him how gorgeous his eyes are.

Before Shia's accident, he was at one of LA's intimate concert venues, the Troubadour. A source said,

"He was dancing around and acting really crazy. He kept doing shots of whiskey. He stayed until the band was done and then stumbled out of the club by himself."

Adrian is reportedly pissed off.

Lucas, one of LaBeouf's comely co-stars in the upcoming "Transformers" sequel, has been dating actor Adrian Grenier for months.

The "Entourage" hunk was testy and had no comment Monday when asked how Lucas was feeling after the smashup with her other leading man.

I just can't get over this woman. Alanis is saying that she loves being single because she's been having "lots of sex." She's like a modern-day feminist hooker. Like, be confident with your sexuality and go have "lots of sex," protected, of course.

Alanis Morissette recovered from her split with former fiance Ryan Reynolds last year by going on "lots of dates" and having "lots of sex".

The Canadian singer, 34, was devastated when her engagement to the actor ended in February 2007, and it took her months to recover.

The star, who now has a boyfriend, says, "No strings relationships have helped cure me of love addiction.

"All my life I've been in long-term monogamous relationships. I had to break that pattern by not allowing myself to have a relationship for a year, stopping myself from committing to men. I haven't been celibate. I've had lots of dates and lots of sex, but I haven't been pushing to turn a date into a relationship. This has been a huge thing for me."

Alanis should write a self-help book, and I am so not joking. More people need to talk about love addictions because she is right on. Hells yeah, having sex is the only way to get over someone, fo sho. Me and her should write some songs together, and by 'together' I mean she could write all the lyrics and play the music, and I'll sit in a corner of the room screaming, 'Good job, hun! Good job!' Then we'll split the profit in half.
