> Lindsay and Samantha may have just run into some very fierce competition for the title of hottest queer celebrity couple under 30. Perez Hilton is reporting that both the New York Post and the New York Daily News contacted him claiming that Gossip Girl stars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick are not only real-life roommates, but are dating! The papers told Perez that the two actors are very open about their relationship on the set of the show -- so open that they were seen "open-mouth kissing" in Chace's trailer! Allegedly the tabs wanted Perez to break the story because they aren't in the business of outing people (though they certainly had a field day with the whole Lindsay and Samantha saga). We woke up a bit cranky and totally depressed about the amount of work we have to do today but thanks to this item there's a chorus of bluebirds at our window, the sun from the Kellogg's Raisin Bran commercials is beaming overhead, and all seems right with the world. The only thing that will make this better is if (hell -- let's be really optimistic and say when) it's confirmed and their sex tape leaks.
> Verne Troyer -- better known as Mini Me from the Austin Powers films -- is suing gossip powerhouse TMZ for leaking portions of his sex tape. The 20 million dollar lawsuit claims TMZ "violated [Troyer's] privacy rights and infringed on his copyright and trademark by running portions of the tape on TMZ TV and TMZ.com. He also alleges TMZ violated his right of publicity and misappropriated his name and likeness." Kevin Blatt -- the man behind the dissemination of Paris Hilton's "One Night in Paris" video -- is reportedly responsible for the leak to TMZ and is also named as a defendant. Man! We haven't seen Mini Me do this much leaking since he got boozed up on VH1's the Surreal Life and mistook the corner of his bedroom for a urinal.
> A family from Wolverhampton, UK, was named "The Faggot Family" in a crusade to bring a new generation of fans to the forgotten British delicacy. OK, so it turns out this story is from 2003, but there is still a lot of helpful information in the post, such as: Faggots are a kind of meatball, traditionally made with pig offal -- usually some combination of the heart, liver, and belly fat. The Doody family (yup -- Doody -- you can't make this kind of stuff up, folks) won the title by proving their faggot fanaticism in a series of quizzes, role-playing games, and mock commercials. After their crowning, the family took a promotional tour of the country to tout the virtues of the tasty, meaty treat. "The nation knows that the Cornish pasty, Yorkshire pudding, haggis and fish and chips are great British dishes, but all too often the faggot is left off that list," said Janet Doody. Her husband, Fred, added, "It's unfair because faggots were a British delicacy long before any of the others. The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year." We're with you on the "full of flavour" part, Fred, but not so much with the "belly warmer" -- unless on that side of the Atlantic "belly" is slang for "bum."
