> Knock 'em sock 'em pop star Pink revealed that she's diddled around with the lady folk, but when it comes to relationships, she's saving herself for a man. "I'm not gay so I guess I wouldn't try a relationship with a woman...I didn't say I haven't experimented but I love men too much to make it a permanent thing," Digital Spy reports she said. Pink split from her husband Carey Hart in February after being married for two years, and since then rumors of reconciliation have dogged the one-time couple. Carey is cute, but (selfishly?) we'd much rather see Pink with a girlfriend, so we'd like to challenge our dyke readers to show Pink that -- her fervent love of men or not -- perhaps she just hasn't met the right woman to settle (and get) down with. Game on!
> The BBC was flooded with over 145 complaints Wednesday after a gay kiss was shown on the British soap EastEnders prior to the 9 pm watershed, or time each evening before which certain possibly controversial material cannot be shown. Angry viewers took to the BBC message boards to rant and rave about the kiss including one that wrote, "This is disgraceful whilst young children are watching and sets the wrong example." Another viewer named Pat said, "I had to explain to my seven-year-old son what was happening. He now thinks he is gay because he kisses his dad." The BBC refused to apologize and issued a statement which read in part, "We approach our portrayal of homosexual relationships in the same way as we do heterosexual relationships. Parents can make an informed decision as to whether they want their children to watch." Amen! And maybe, just maybe Pat, if you had spent a little time with your son explaining that sometimes boys love boys and sometimes girls love girls and it's really no different than you loving your husband, this would be a non-issue. Why don't you guys spend a few hours with us reading Popnog's backlog -- we'd be happy to help get you all sorted out.
> It's no secret -- though maybe it should be? -- that I love Paris Hilton (I say "I" instead of the usual Quickies "we" because I'm not sure I can safely speak for Shana or the rest of the Popnog crew). She's a ditz, but she's a fun, wink-wink-nudge-nudge kind of ditz and I frequently find myself reading something she's said or done and can't help but smirk and think "I'd like to hang out with that girl." Take for instance the new interview she did with Harper's Bazaar about what a Paris Hilton presidency would look like. The socialite would choose Rihanna as her Vice President ("she's hot"), would trade in the cabinet for a walk-in closet full of "all styles of advisers, like Michael Kors, Kanye West, Diane von Furstenberg, Naughty by Nature, Stephen Hawking, Madonna, Karl Lagerfeld, and [her dog] Tinkerbell," and believes that "in these trying economic times, the White House should [be redecorated to] have a minimalist touch: open floor plan, glass and steel, throw pillows, and an infinity pool." The woman is totally ridiculous, but she knows it, and she plays it to her full advantage. Paris saves the best for last, doling out a little fashion advice to VP nominee Sarah Palin: "You’ve got a hot bod; don’t keep it to yourself. Why wear a pantsuit when you can wear a swimsuit? Welcome to the Lower 48, girlfriend." Paris for President, indeed!
