In the first episode of their new red carpet/travel series, You Can't Take Them Anywhere!, Bridget McManus and Karman Kregloe attend IN Los Angeles magazine's 10th anniversary party and ask fun and vaguely inappropriate questions of partygoers, including actresses Carlease Burke and Thea Gill, IN Magazine's resident lesbian Courtney Jackson, radio host Doria Biddle, and Women on a Roll founder Andrea Meyerson.

They also run into two women who work for the June Mazer Lesbian Archives and discuss their favorite items in the collection.

And of course, there's the requisite drunk guy (it wouldn't be a party without one!).

On the next You Can't Take Them Anywhere!, Karman and Bridget invade Tahoe!

In her third episode, entitled "Embracing the Weirdness," actress and therapist Cathy DeBuono (who has a master's degree in clinical psychology) responds to your questions from last week and welcomes a guest, actress Thea Gill (Queer as Folk, Dante's Cove).

In addition to chatting about Golden Compass animals, Cathy's seasonal affective symptoms and Thea's long journey to labeling her own sexuality, the two actors discuss freeing yourself from your own oppression, how to decipher if you are gay, straight or bisexual, and just who came on to whom on the couch.

The closing song, "Hope and Faith," is performed by last week's guest, Janet Robin.

As always, leave your questions for Cathy in the comments, or private message her (but if you PM her, please be sure to let her know whether it's OK to mention your AfterEllen.com username on the vlog if she responds to your question).

I asked Logo's Ashley Kaplan (whom I like to call the Shane of the Logo offices) to bring a camera to the Power Premiere last weekend and interview the lesbian celebrities and lesbian celebrity icons for AfterEllen.com, and she kindly obliged, despite knowing almost nothing about most of these women since she doesn't watch much TV.

In this fun video she put together for us, we learn things like:

• What Guin Turner's working on now
• Michelle Paradise's favorite lesbian moment of '07 (besides launching her show)
• Thea Gill's favorite scene on Queer as Folk
• Why Daniela Sea identified with Jo on The Facts of Life
• Renee O'Connor's new TV show gig in 2008
• Why Mandy Musgrave loves the lesbian community
• Jill Bennett's first crush

Earlier this week, the cast of here TV's campy supernatural gay and lesbian drama Dante's Cove kicked off its third season with a premiere party, and photographer Faye Sadou was kind enough to share some photos with us. Enjoy!
