TV
ROUNDUP
This
week, Helena and Tina finally hooked up on The
L Word; lesbian contestant Rachel
Robinson is still on The Inferno 2; Honey Labrador
continues to give advice on Queer
Eye for the Straight Girl; and bisexual contestant Michelle
survived a worsening skin condition to compete another day on America's
Next Top Model.
SIN
CITY OPENS THIS WEEKEND
Sin
City, the stylish cinematic adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic
novels opens this weekend, with a cast of beautiful women including
Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Jamie King, Brittany Murphy, Devon
Aoki, and Alexis Bledel (okay, and some guys, like Elijah Wood,
Josh Hartnett, and Bruce Willis, but who cares?)
Carla
Gugino also has a small role as a "lesbian parole officer who
prances around in the nude," as one movie reviewer puts it.
But forget the token, pointless lesbian--I just want to see Rory
as a hooker!
PRETTY,
WITTY AND GAY?
Cynthia
Nixon--who has been cast as the lead in the upcoming Broadway
revival of Talley's Folly--brought her girlfriend Christine
Marinoni to Sarah Jessica Parker's 40th birthday party last week,
the first time the couple has attended a high-profile public event
together. During the party, Nixon sang "I've Grown Accustomed
to Her Face," and joked "now that I've become a lesbian,
I don't wear any of those again" when she changed the lyrics
to refer to Parker's Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Clearly
Nixon didn't read the Lesbian Rule Book close enough: now that she's
on our team, she can't wear attractive shoes or make jokes.
It interferes with being angry and hating men.
MARY
CHENEY'S WRITING A MEMOIR...
...and
I'm guessing we won't have to worry about her making too many jokes.
ROSIE
JONES
Out LPGA golfer Rosie Jones took second place at this week's
high-profile Nabisco tournament in Palm Springs--known as Dinah
Shores in the lesbian world--after losing to Annika Sorenstam. Jones
and sponsor Olivia Travel also announced a renewal of their relationship.
This comes on the heels of Olivia's announcement last week that
it has become the sponsor of lesbian tennis player Martina Navratilova,
as well.
Next
week: Olivia Travel becomes the official sponsor of Angelina Jolie!
That's
it for this week! There won't be a new column next Friday, so check
back on Friday, April 15th for a new installment of Best. Lesbian.
