    In case you all were wondering, @dinalohan will be making a statement about this today. She wanted to yesterday, but was too busy working on her parenting book, bird watching book and worldwide phenomenon shoe line, Shoe-han.

    You know, given the shit that her parents put her through starting at a really young age, I sorta have some sympathy for LiLo punching her mom.

    Like, if she wasn't psychostage mom of the decade would Lindsay have even needed rehab in the first place? #lindsaylohan

    And maybe I missed something, but in what universe is Natalie Portman's woefully safe-for-work performance in Hotel Chevalier a reason for embarrassment? #lindsaylohan

    Anne Heche nowhere to be seen. Lindsay Lohan gone. But they have Rosie and Oprah and Suze representing. All I'm saying is that these Sapphists better step up their game if they want the straights to keep fantasizing about them.

    In reply to Bea Arthur, Beloved Gay Icon, 1922-2009
    I was with a gaggle of gays when this news broke, and there was much texting and frippering and tears and such. But really what her passing means to me is that we've lost another of that fading generation of entertainers who were, well, just that. Entertainers. Bea acted, she sang, she sorta danced, but really she was just this whole entire package, this portrayer of people, this communicator of stony old weirdo thoughts that theatre writers (and TV writers) dreamed up in their lonely hearts.


    And we have a few of those people still, young ones even--like Jane Krakowski and Kristin Chenoweth and, um, Antonio Banderas?--but Bea is just another of that old guard to fleet this earth, an old vet of a showbiz world that was more show than biz. And that's sad. Sure it's a bigger, more important thing to be losing our WWII vets and Holocaust survivors in handfuls, but there's still something to be mourned in this. A vanguard. A tradition that's fading.


    So, a glass to you Ms. Bea. What you knew how to do we--gay, straight, whatever!--can only hope to imitate.

    @allyzay -- I totally agree. And I gotta say, Owen, how old are you? Doesn't seem like anyone hits as many wrong notes as you do on this site.... and I've been reading it since the beginning.

    Oh, nononononono! Horrible. Loved her. As a say-what-you-think (no matter how much it makes the boss hate you), tall, broad-shouldered, not-terribly-feminine girl, I have always loved her. I always will. RIP Bea Arthur.

    hey, owen, just fyi but i don't know anyone who doesn't like bea arthur, gay, straight, or bi. referring to her large gay following is one thing but carrying on about it in every other sentence seems...gross, somehow? not the right word but this tone is really bad.


    anyway rip bea, i forgive you for that time you slammed me straight onto my ass chasing down a taxi on 66th st.

    A tribute (w/Rock Hudson!); nothing exceeds like excess.


    RIP and love to one of the last great Broads.
