News: White House Emails, Mystery Clouds, Beckham, T Rex
White House says it "lost" five million emails. What a crock. Case begins to get "quite interesting".
Scientists to study increasing number of mysterious "night shining" clouds they say could be related to global warming: "The clouds were first observed above polar regions in 1885 – suggesting they may have been caused by the eruption of Krakatoa two years before. But in recent years they have spread to latitudes as low as 40°, while also growing in number and getting brighter."
Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Madison) to join celebration marking 25th anniversary of Wisconsin becoming the first state to approve gay rights legislation.
Anti-gay pastor Ken Hutcherson says yes, he does have the videotape that shows his trip to Latvia to hobnob with anti-gay forces was as a "special envoy" sanctioned by the White House, but no, he's not going to let anyone see it.
Rufus Wainwright talks Brandon Flowers again: "I do relate him to a sort of Brando character - somewhat conservative but yet volatile and also extremely handsome. But also highly sensitive. So it's just a good old gay fantasy."
Movin' on: Reichen Lehmkuhl guides new beau before the flash bulbs at Red Line premiere.
New York's meatpacking district has been designated "historic".
Leaving for L.A.: David Beckham planning male-only going-away bash.
Confirmed: Tyrannosaurus Rex's closest modern relative is the chicken. "The analysis shows that T-rex collagen makeup is almost identical to that of a modern chicken - this corroborates a huge body of evidence from the fossil record that demonstrates birds are descended from meat-eating dinosaurs."

The TRex story confirms what most paleontologists and dinosaur lovers have accepted long ago -- that modern birds are simply flying dinosaurs. So in a sense, they never totally went extinct.

Please, please, please.....can you consign Reichen to the mineshaft of history and leave him in the obscurity he so richly deserves.

Isn't Reichen's 15min. of fame up yet?
Who cares what piece of tail he's dragging around.
What possible good comes of knowing or seeing who this guy is sleeping with?
He won a contest...he's not a leader for any social,political or charitalbe cause.
Can we please get away from this Bambi assed caracter and his most recent conquest.

Although Reichen has milked far more than 15 minutes, he's at least traded up - boyfriend-wise; Lance Bass was just never that cute.

Eeeek! We've seen that bad chin implant and that B-movie hooded-eyes look before. Where has this boy he's giving The Gaze been? In the coma ward at the West Hollywood Clinic for Actor/Waiter/Escorts? Does he not know it's been less than three months since Reichen got his dick caught in someone's zipper and we don't mean Lance? Has he not heard about Lance—or Chip or Charlie or Louis or the woman Reichen dated between Chip & Charlie with the idea, as he explained himself, that he could get a baby out of her cheaper than through adoption? Has he not seen the video below of Reichen in Atlanta threatening to sue Perez for "lying" about his alleged Come One Come All Open 365/24/7 Asshole and insisting that he would never betray Lance mere hours before he and the Real World's Davis hooked up? Does no one ever learn?

I think someone needs to get off Reichen's sack and stop obsessing about him. How many times can one mention Reichen on the same blog week after week? I tend to think that person was(1) scorned or turned down by him (2) jealous of something he is, has or has done (3) just a tired, old, negative, bitchy, troll with nothing else better to do but bitch about everything and everyone......hmmmmmm I'll take number three Pat.

If you want to see what I am talking about just google Leland Frances and Reichen.....

Derek = Reichen.

I love the weekly get togethers to trash Reichen. I agree that his 15 minutes are WAY over, but it's so much fun to read all the catty comments that the mention of his name evokes.

A month ago I might have agreed with you, Dan, but this has gone on too long. SERIOUSLY, what is newsworthy about this guy? Andy, I'm all for some juicy gay gossip here and there, but give the Reichen "news" a rest.

"How many times can one mention Reichen on the same blog week after week?"
I don't know, but who wants to go to the trouble to count?
Posted by: mark m | Apr 13, 2007 2:30:56 PM
Reichen's new guy is pretty hot...
Posted by: fangirlhater | Apr 13, 2007 3:18:33 PM
C.O. = Lance
Posted by: Derek | Apr 13, 2007 3:23:23 PM
A lot of people who frequented the meatpacking district were "historic" also.
Is Becks leaving the planet or something on Posh's spaceship?
Posted by: anon | Apr 13, 2007 4:34:21 PM
Jeez, no more Reichen, PLEASE. You can smell his desperation for attention from 300 miles away. We don't care who he's dating. He's NOT famous.

"The analysis shows that T-rex collagen makeup is almost identical ..."
Dinosaurs wore collagen makeup? Clearly they were more advanced than we realize!

Das Reichen. How fantastic that you can now wake up to something as pretty as yourself. Life is good, even for the prosthetic.
Posted by: jacko | Apr 14, 2007 10:43:47 AM
Ah the lovely T rex. Always was my fav.
Forget Reichen's new guy, THAT'S a jawbone worth fighting over!
