Kanye West’s Tuesday night concert at Madison Square Garden ended with another one of his infamous rants — except this time he actually said something worthwhile. The rapper encouraged everyone in the audience to open their minds and “be accepting of different people.” Fair enough, but then he strayed into a story about how people called him gay because he wears his jeans “the fresh way.” Dude, stay on topic.

Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.
10. “This wiener just pushed on my head all day long.” — Molly, Sunset Tan
Sally Kern’s back! The Oklahoma lawmaker, who gained national prominence for her anti-gay stance, lashed again yesterday, this time trying to awkwardly justify her hateful ways:
Tuesday’s remarks were made at the Cleveland County Republican Club where she once again repeated her opposition to gay marriage and homosexuality. She opened by saying she was a ‘cultural warrior for Judeo-Christian values.’
Neil Patrick Harris graces the latest cover of gay glossy Out. And, like the mensch we know he is, the dreamboat actor revealed the quiet trials and tribulations of his otherwise well-documented life. A taste:
Remember when the gossip columns were filled with plants about Chace Crawford — the Gossip Girl star whose publicist wasn’t pleased that he was being labeled a big ‘mo — and his female relations?
Then rumors started that Crawford and co-star/roommate Ed Westwick shared more than just scripts?
Enter this obvious plotline:
Lance Bass’ new boyfriend, Sebastian Leal, has a wife. Yep, you read that right. The personal trainer, who has been dating the former boy bander for a few weeks, married a woman nine years ago and failed to get a divorce.
West Hollywood’s apparently not all happy and gay. From a Queerty reader:
Not sure exactly what started it, but last night at The Abbey in West Hollywood, last season Project Runway runner-up Rami Kashou was on the receiving end of a martini glass to the face.
After a brief scuffle, the guy who threw the glass was dragged out by security and Rami, drenched from head to toe in blood, left by ambulance.
ALL IN THE NAME OF PUBLICITY “A year ago, he was throwing down gay-hate; now Isaiah Washington is ponying up for them? So it appears, according to Outsports, which says that the gay f-bomb-dropper has given some serious cash to a fund that’s working to stop the anti-gay-marriage amendment in California.”
Al Reynolds, a washed up Wall Streeter who was once married to washed up talk show host Star Jones, took to YouTube yesterday in an attempt to share the “real” Reynolds. Or, as he puts it, “The Al Reynolds You Don’t Know.” Did we ask?
Far too self-important to speak into the camera — so pedestrian! — Reynolds instead speaks with a journalist, who asks the hard-hitting, tabloid ready questions, like “Are you gay?” The answer, of course, is a long-winded, tortuous and overly prepared “no.” It begins thusly:
Insiders say Lance Bass is officially on board for next season’s Dancing With the Stars — but network executives are still deciding whether or not to pair the openly gay boy bander with a male or female dance partner. We smell a controversy! You tell us: Should Lance be paired with a man or woman?

Here we go again! The gay media watchdogs over at GLAAD are bent out of shape because Will Smith’s titular character in Hancock uses the word “homo.” Thrice!!
Are Gossip Girl cast mates - and real life roomies - Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick secret gay lovers? That’s the alleged word:
BLIND ITEMING “What two hunky actors are refraining from any public displays of affection now that spies on their set are suggesting they’re more than friends?”
In a new tell-all book about Hugh Hefner, author Steven Watts drops some shocking bombshells about Mr. Playboy’s life: He’s had foursomes! Within his family! And he’s had a homosexual experience! We need to sit down, because we can’t handle all these scandalous accusations. All this time we thought Hef was busy being an altar boy at church. The most “shocking” of Watts’ writing after the jump. CONTINUED »
BLIND ITEMING “Which divorced comic superstar is exploring a groovy new real-life persona: that of an openly gay man?”
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: California officials have officially made same-sex marriage official!
At 5:01 PM, clerks began issuing the state’s first same-sex marriage licenses. And, as a proper institution, the ladies went first. Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, who have been together 55 years, inaugurated the festivities in San Francisco, while Robin Tyler and Diane Olson did it up in Los Angeles county. The latter were the original plaintiffs in the case that led to California Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the ban on gay marriage.
Gay Star Trek star George Takei is very close to boldly going where few men have gone before: into a loving marriage with another man.
With the California Supreme Court’s legalization of gay marriage taking effect yesterday, Takei and his partner, Brad Altman, talked with The Early Show about being in the final stages of wedding planning, a process Takei calls “delicious anguish.” Click through for the adorable video of the lovebirds.
