Pete Burns to marry Michael Simpson
Fresh from his big stint in the Big Brother Celebrity UK house, Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns has announced that he's tying the knot with his partner Michael Simpson. For those who watched Big Brother, Burns always had a photo of Simpson attached to his person throughout the series. The couple showed off their identical diamante skull rings - designed by Vivienne Westwood - live on Richard and Judy's show (pictured). Regarding the rings Burns explained, "It symbolises that underneath all this there is bone and underneath that is soul." On the show Burns also told the world, "I lost him a lifetime ago and I've been looking for him ever since. He's a physical part of me." It's enough to make a person misty.

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, Mr. Six Flags whom I have to admit routinely makes my skin crawl as the dancing senior citizen in the Six Flags amusement park television commercials who lures all the children away and onto a bus, or the news that his long secret identity has turned out to be none other than Queer Eye For The Straight Girl's hunkariffic Danny Teeson.

Rosie O'Donnell is returning to television, but this time she'll be behind the camera on a sketch comedy show for Logo. The show, which is apparently going to be a lot like Saturday Night Live, will feature up-and-coming comedians, political and pop culture satire, and even some musical numbers. After all, what's gay television without musical numbers. Anyway,
Well it happened. Ten years ago Melrose Place made a great big build up about a gay kiss then pulled it before it actually aired. Previously on Desperate Housewives Susan Mayer was the one who caught Justin, played by General Hospital's Ryan Carnes and Bree's son Andrew, played by Shawn Pyfrom, apparently naked together in the backyard swimming pool, possibly kissing in the shadows. It was all rather veiled and Susan looked at the pair as startled as they were before Andrew blurted out an unsolicited,

It's a good thing they identify this beauty as Pete Burns, because I wouldn't have recognized the Dead or Alive singer otherwise.

Rice's decor, a mix of white space and midcentury Italian and American furniture, "with some splashes of `70s" is something Allen says, "We like to refer to it as `70s cocaine palace." Tran Ha

Though New York Fashion Week does not officially begin until Friday morning, "Project Runway"’s Austin Scarlett is trumpeting his entree into the fashion fray, including delivering a Spring fashion preview. Remember, it's best to be prepared. What does Scarlett do in terms of day-of-show rituals, meals or habits? "Other than my usual two-pound box of pralines, Pellegrino purge, and quick, five-hour mirror-through-tulle meditation session, I usually just get drunk after a show." And what can we expect for Spring?
