TODAY: Legal challenge to Northern Ireland's gay marriage ban begins: “Two couples, Gráinne Close and Shannon Sickles and Chris and Henry Flanagan-Kanem, have been granted permission to judicially review the Stormont Assembly's repeated refusal to legislate for same-sex marriage.

WAR CRIMINALS: Dick Cheney to be immortalized in the Senate today with a marble bust: “Mr. Cheney is to attend the ceremony along with the man who made him vice president, George W. Bush, after Mr. Cheney conducted a search for the best candidate to join Mr. Bush's ticket…Mr. Cheney's chiseled likeness will join those of more than 40 other vice presidents, many of them quite obscure, scattered inside and outside the Senate chamber.

CORRECTION OF THE DAY: Channing Tatum does not make his assistants call his biceps ‘Bruce' and ‘Ricky' as some have reported. “According to the new issue of Star, ‘The buff Magic Mikestar is so proud of his body, he's even named his biceps.” But, “what's more,' says the magazine, is ‘Channing requires junior staffers on his films to greet Bruce and Ricky by name whenever he enters a room.” And if someone messes up? Well, a so-called ‘source' claims to the tabloid, ‘When one assistant accidentally called the left bicep Mickey, instead of Ricky, she got reprimanded. Channing thought she was implying his muscles were the size of Mickey Mouse. It didn't go down well.'”
GUINESS RECORD: Michelle DuBarry is named the world's oldest drag queen at 84: “It's quite an honour. I wake up in the morning. I don't live yesterday, I don't live tomorrow. I wake up and count my blessings because I'm very, very lucky. I'm very healthy. I've lost pretty well all my special friends now. They've all died on me. You know, because I'm old. It's your attitude at living every day, I think, that counts. I'm an old drag queen, but I'm still very young.”
