The other day I asked whatcha think about lesbian couples consistently being labeled as “cute.”
Here’s an excerpt from my post:
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.’
I think Mr. Gyllenhaal’s explanation was the best, so I’m only gonna post his response.
I see what you are saying. First off, I don’t know why anyone thinks Samantha Ronson is cute. She is so far from cute and therefore her relationships are anything but cute.
Second, I think people say that kind of stuff because woman are usually feminine and gentle so the word cute is synonymous with that. I have never really thought about it though. Maybe you are making a mole hill into a mountain Joy. Either way I loves you!!
I couldn’t have said it better myself, literally. Samantha Ronson is anything but cute, and that’s kind of why I initially wondered, what’s so “cute” about her relationship?! I do think that women and “cute” tend to be synonymous. Very well said, Mr. Gyllenhaal. And making mountains out of mole hills is what I do best. It’s why I can’t keep a man for longer than a few months, which is great. Out with the old, in with the new.
I’m gonna make a conscious effort to stop calling every lesbian couple “cute.” I find it demeaning for some reason. When two mature, female adults are banging, especially if one of ‘em ain’t cute, there’s nothing “cute” about it. Now hot gay couples on the other hand … they’re cute. Heh.
*** On a sidenote - I’ve blogged for 2 sites the past 2 days, drove out of town yesterday, (I’m just home for the weekend before I go back to spend time with my dad in the hospital. He had a few health scares this week, too, so please feel free to keep the prayers a’ comin’), went to a hilarious comedy show late last night and I’m so excited to be at my place for the next few days so I can hit the gym. I’ve kept all my weight off that I lost for Europe even though I’ve been eating junk. The gym is the business; the results do come. And yep, I’m fine after the earthquake. I wasn’t near where it hit at the time. In summary, I’m exhausted, so there’s no chance in hell I’m doing links today. I worked hard posting a ton of stories this past week. I think that’s a good trade off for no links today or yesterday.
Have a great weekend, all!

Do I even need to give a reason why this guy is hawt? Just look at his face! Dave’s so adorable, boyish and damn hot.
I didn’t know what Dave’s name was either. I had do ‘the Google.’ Dave plays Justin Walker on ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters” - an adult version of “Party of Five.” I LOVE this show so much!
Now back to Dave. He’s gorgeous because he’s not really gorgeous, which is my favorite kind of gorgeous. He has a boy next door look that’s enduring and he also has a major lisp, which usually sounds funny, but when I hear it on him, it just makes me wanna eff him more. I can just hear him hissing, ‘Can we have sssssssssexxxx tonight?’ Yes, baby!
Dave’s reportedly a big lover of sports. After moving to NYC, he booked a national Starburst commercial two months later, played Brittany Murphy’s college boyfriend in Little Black Book and now he plays one of my fave characters on “Brothers & Sisters,” Sumthin’ tells me we’ll be seeing much more of Dave in the future. I don’t mind.
I picked Dave on my own, and even though I sometimes lose your emails in my inbox, please feel free to keep the ‘because he’s hot’ suggestions coming. 
Salma Hayek shows off her pretty-in-pink daughter Valentina, 10 months, while out Thursday in Beverly Hills for a day of shopping.
Valentina sure does look like her super wealthy daddy! Girls, make sure you only get sperminated by the right dudes. Don’t be like Salma and Michelle Williams and pop out a daughter who’s her daddy’s twin unless you’re sure you could live with seeing his face every single day post breakup. Basically, make sure your guy’s damn hot if you’re gonna get knocked up because you don’t need your daughter to come out lookin’ like she was beat down by the ugly stick.
Cute baby!
A buff John Mayer, who took a stand and urged the Los Angeles City Council to “regulate” the paparazzi, changes gears – and clothes – Thursday, heading to the gym for a workout.
People magazine is really one of my fave celeb publications because they take ass-kissing to a whole other level, they toss salad and throw in cheese croutons. Heh. They go to extremes to make nice with celebs in order to get exclusives even if they gotta lie. John Mayer is NOT buff! Zac Efron could kick his ass any day, and he’s like 10 years younger. Now that boy is ripped. John’s arms only have light definition. Please!
Are you as excited as I am to see what may be the cutest babies in the history of mankind, (that will look like every other baby - 2 eyes, a nose, a mouth and all the other parts), unveiled?!
I can not believe People magazine paid anywhere from $11-14 million for these pics. Those idiots are losing SO much money just so they can get this exclusive. I luvs it! They deserve to lose a huge chunk if they’re dumb enough to cough up that much. It’s not that serious! Damn. I can not wait, though. I am so excited to see what their son, Knox Leon, looks like. The world would be a better place with a little Brad Pitt mini-me on the scene.
Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon are, at long last, ready for their closeups. Their outlandishly overpriced, highly anticipated, paparazzi-thwarting closeups.
As has been long rumored, the deep pockets over at People magazine won the national bidding war for the U.S. rights to the twins’ first photoshoot, with Hello! magazine snagging the international exclusive.
Though there’s no official word on how much the publications shelled out to show the world Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s genetically blessed double act, or whether the newborns can out-cute big sis Shiloh’s People debut, estimates have placed the camera coup at anywhere from $11 million-$14 million.

Elf boy is back with a new single, “crush,” that I’m proud to say I haven’t listened to yet. But please do find out what it’s all about. To listen to David’s new single, click here.
David Archuleta’s first single, “Crush,” debuted on the syndicated radio program Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on Friday.
The singer was reportedly shaking when it first aired, but whether it was nerves or excitement, his fans have nothing but praise for the track.
Carol, 65, from Colorado, called in to the radio show to say: “Wow. I tell you. How many of us have ever felt the song you just sang. There are so many girls saying, ‘Wow. He wrote that because he knows how I feel.’ I hate it when they call you little because you’re the biggest man in town.”
Chloe from Canada also “loved it” and caller Alexandria said, “I am, like, in tears. You are absolutely amazing. You have no idea. You’re so talented. You’re going to have an amazing career.”
