Meanwhile, the New York Times has an interesting new article analyzing Rosie's impact on the show, and Barbara Walters's efforts to rein her in a bit. Like when Rosie suggested Oprah "might be a little bit gay", and Barbara said "I'd like to get away from that". To which Rosie replied, "Oh yeah? Let's take it out in the hall, bitch!" and the two proceeded to arm wrestle to the death. Or something like that.

AND A PAIR OF QUEENS BEATS A STRAIGHT ANY TIME
Gays and lesbians now have a new way to waste time (and money) online: ComeOutPoker.com a new GLBT poker site. It's the place to go when you just don't want to play one more game of poker with straight people. The site even boasts a gay twist on the popular poker game Texas Hold 'Em, called ComeOut Hold'em, in which all straights are eliminated from the ranking of the hands. No, I'm not kidding. Next it will be ComeOutPets.com--because there's too much heterosexual oppression in the dog food aisle, damnit!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Michael (Steve Carell) outed a gay male employee on last night's hilarious season premiere of NBC's The Office, and subsequently spent the rest of the episode trying to buy gaydar on the Internet, and attempting to prove how gay-friendly he really is by making statements like "I watch The L Word!" Definitely try to catch this one in reruns, or download it from iTunes when it becomes available (you can also read about the episode in detail here).

A "best of" compilation of Ellen's talk show was released on DVD this week (available exclusively through Target stores), and the final season of Ellen's ground-breaking sitcom will be released on November 28th. That's the season when she goes house-hunting and gets more than a loan from her mortgage broker-turned-girlfriend Laurie (Lisa Darr). Now that's what I call service!

That's it for this week! Check back next Friday for a new installment of Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. or read past installments here.
