I have been a gay rights activist for 25 years and when I started out, gay people were moving away in their droves because they were deemed socially unacceptable. But now we have this development and it is one of the biggest steps I've seen for the gay community. What it is saying to us is stay, there is something here for you."

The music video of the song, titled 'Silly Child' by Mandarin singer Olivia Yan, shows an intimate kissing scene before one of the women rejects her boyfriend at the end of the clip.

Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, a vocal critic of Newsom's administration, was equally unhappy, as was the local ACLU chapter. 'Gavin Newsom runs San Francisco the way the premier of China runs his country - secrecy, lies, misinformation, lack of transparency and manipulating the populace,' Peskin said. 'He did it so China can report they had a great torch run.' Newsom emphatically denied those accusations. 'We felt it was in everyone's best interest that we augment the route,' Newsom said.

All drilling above ground is expected to continue.

Jai Rodriguez Makes a Play for the Lips of Mario Lopez

Queer Eye's Jai Rodriguez is set to make an appearance on Dr 90210 (now starring Big Brother's "Dr. Will" Kirby) this Thursday.

He's reportedly going to ask Dr. Will for cosmetic enhancement because he wants lips like Mario Lopez.

LipsBuddy TV writes: "One would hope that anyone who shares a network with the oddly charming but oddly puffy-lipped Jeff Lewis from Flipping Out would be cautious with any kind of lip enhancement. But if Lopez lips are what Jai wants, surely no one will begrudge him the chance to do a little self-makeover. This won't be Jai's only encounter with plastic surgery-related TV over the next few months. His other endeavor, however, won't be reality. As we've reported, he will also be appearing on the FX series Nip/Tuck as 'Chaz, an LA fashionista with a dirty little secret.' Maybe his own surgery was research for the character."

I know a lot of people who wouldn't mind Mario Lopez' lips on their face, or anywhere else for that matter.

UPDATE: Well, apparently (as one of our commenters has noted) the episode has aired at least once already. And here's the clip!

An asteroid a few hundred metres across hits the planet about once every 10,000 years, on average, while those larger than 1 kilometre hit only every 100,000 years or so. Small asteroids are also harder to spot. 'We're more likely to be hit by one without much warning,' Bailey told New Scientist. Using maps of population density, the researchers charted the places likely to suffer the most casualties. As might be expected, countries with large coastal populations turned out to be most vulnerable, with China, Indonesia, India, Japan and the US in the top five spots."

Ohoven is now seeking 50 percent of all past and future revenue from Infinity films, including Capote."

Nip/Tuck's writers have always played with the special relationship between Christian and Sean. As if the Mario Lopez episode wasn't gay enough, Nip/Tuck's latest salvo is a dream sequence which takes that relationship one step further. It's maybe the gayest clip I've seen on TV all season.

After the jump, some screen caps for your further enjoyment. And, because one look isn't enough, I've also added the Mario Lopez clip.

If it's wet shirt week and we have to choose, give me Julian McMahon any day before Justin Timberlake. Thankfully, we don't have to choose. Here's an exclusive peek at how McMahon appears on the cover of the upcoming September 12 issue of The Advocate. Nip/Tuck has been going out of its way to rope in more gay viewers than the show already had with last week's leaked screenshots of Mario Lopez and McMahon naked in the shower. Although I have a lot on my TV plate already, given this season's preponderance of male flesh I may have to begin watching regularly.
