Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (June 22, 2007)

IT'S LIKE THE AFTERELLEN.COM HOT LIST, BUT WITH MORE CLOTHING
POWER UP (the lesbian entertainment film organization that brought you the current LGBT festival favorite Itty Bitty Titty Committee), announced the honorees for this year's 10 Amazing Gay Women in Showbiz. These are the women who are "working, creating and changing lives as they continue their way up the ladder of success."

Last year, AfterEllen.com editor-in-chief Sarah Warn was among those honored, and this year the honorees are Lisa Cholodenko (writer/director — High Art, Laurel Canyon, episodes of Six Feet Under and The L Word), Cherien Dabis (writer/co-producer of The L Word), Tanya Grubich (president/founder of MyBroadway.com and TMG), Lori Kaye (writer/producer/director — Work Out, Curl Girls), Danielle Knight (Vice President, Legal Affairs, Warner Bros. Television), Amy M. Lesser (founder and editor-in-chief of GO Magazine), Jennifer Morris (Director of Programming, Frameline), Jenni Olson (director of e-commerce at WolfeVideo.com), Michelle Paradise (co-creator, executive producer, writer, and star of upcoming Logo original series Exes & Oh's) and Lynn Whitney (Senior Vice President, Worldwide Media Advertising, Warner Bros.

SO TWO CATS WALK INTO A HOME DEPOT ...
Comic Sabrina Matthews (Laughing Matters ... More!), the out lesbian contestant on NBC's reality comedy competition Last Comic Standing, has made it through another round of eliminations this week to get to the semifinals.

Here's a clip from her latest performance:

Yep, we lesbians can never get enough of our cat jokes!

Last year, out comic Michelle Balan made it to the final round before being eliminated.
