NOW IF ONLY THE BLACK DAHLIA PRODUCERS WOULD GIVE AWAY A DATE WITH HILARY SWANK...
To promote their Asian American indie film Red Doors, which opens in New York today, and in L.A. and San Francisco on September 22nd, the producers held a contest this week to win a date to the premiere with bisexual actress/producer Mia Riverton (who plays a lesbian in the movie). The contest was open to anyone who sent in a ticket stub for the movie, and they explicitly invited men and women to apply, with the winner chosen by random draw earlier this week. Around 30% of the entries they received were from women, and the ultimate winner was a lesbian: Doria Biddle, the producer and co-host of the Frank DeCaro Show on Sirius Satellite Radio.

Those of you who don't get to attend the premiere with Mia can check the official website to find out when it's coming to a theater near you, or watch the trailer and curse the good fortune of Ms. Doria Biddle.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Today we announced our new "Where Were You When Ellen Came Out" contest, which celebrates the release of Ellen Season 4 on DVD at the end of the month. Check out the details here!

Amelie Mauresmo has triumphed over several competitors--including Serena Williams--to advance to the semifinals of the U.S. Open.

Semi-out actress Sara Gilbert (Roseanne, Twins) has signed on for a multi-episode arc on the new CBS sitcom The Class. If it lasts that long.

Storm Large was eliminated from CBS's Rock Star this week, but not before performing an original song called "Ladylike" that made many a lesbian swoon--and many a straight women ponder switching teams, at least temporarily. Watch it on youtube here, and watch her perform on Ellen's talk show on Monday.

On a recent episode of Showtime's Weeds, caustic suburban mom Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) discovered her 13-year-old daughter Isabelle kissing another girl, and told her, "You cannot become a lesbian just because you don't want to lose weight." Watch a clip of the funny scene here.

FX has bought the rights to create a U.S. version of the hit British women's prison drama Bad Girls. Let's hope they don't muck up the lesbian storylines as badly as they have the gay one on Rescue Me this season.

Survivor Vanuatu--the one with lesbians Ami and Scout--will be released on DVD on October 24th.

A new season of HBO's The Wire starts this weekend (Sep 10th). Now you have 13 more episodes to completely ignore.

Marcia Cross and new husband Tom just announced they're expecting a baby in April, which should put to rest those pesky lesbian rumors about Marcia. Oh, wait--according to TV writers, all lesbians do is get pregnant. So really, this proves nothing. Nevermind!

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