Shame on you, CBS. The network published a press release announcing a new talk show featuring many female power players, including Sara Gilbert, who played Darlene on Roseanne. The press release features a brief list of each woman's credentials and background information about the women's families. While the profiles of other members in the cast acknowledge husbands, Sara Gilbert's profile simply says she lives with "her family in Los Angeles." It seems odd the press release did not say Gilbert lives with her partner, especially since Gilbert is an out lesbian who is raising children with her partner Allison Adler. The show also features Marissa Jane Winokur, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Peete Robinson and Leah Remini.

Although Tea Party protests are more commonplace every day, there is one issue members choose not to address. Tea Party groups across the country have not made a public statement about gay marriage.

I don't think any lesbian in the Los Angeles area can say she doesn't know about The Real L Word. I might even daresay there aren't any lesbians in the country who haven't at least heard about creator Ilene Chaiken's new reality show. Not so ironically, it is a complaint many viewers had with the show's predecessor as well. Critics question the lack of diversity in Chaiken's new show, and wondered where the diversity was for the first seasons of the original L Word.Many suspected Chaiken's addition of a black and Latina character in the later seasons of her first show were in response to claims that the show lacked ethnic diversity.

Rihanna's new video is literally too hot for television. At least it is in the U.S., anyway. Luckily, Europeans aren't so prude, and computers can cross oceans in seconds. The new video pairs the hip-hop/rock artist with French supermodel Laetitia Casta. And no, I won't make that pun about her name. It's too obvious.
