Welcome to the Friday Happy Hour edition of lesbian-ish quickies from around the Web, a smattering of newsy items that don't quite constitute a full news' story, in-depth analysis or reflection. Now, bottoms up!
First up. Is a website entitled Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber.com offensive to cute boi-ish lesbians? Absolutely! Is it pretty damned funny? You bet your ass. With no further adieu, here's the site that pays homage to adorable girls who resemble the tween sensation. We haven't dug through the archives to find her yet, but our first thought was, "Where's Daniella Sea?" And for proud Bieber doppelgangers, the site accepts submissions.
Climb on the Pussywagon! (We didn't call it that!) Lady Gaga and Beyonce are taking us all for a ride in Gaga's visually yummy "Telephone," video loaded with high fashion, lesbian innuendo, plenty of skin and a play on the women's prison fetish film. If you haven't seen this little juggernaut pervading the Web, have a look here!
Oscar nominee for Precious and Queen "O" the Red Carpet Gabourey Sidibe is a firm yes now for the Showtime Laura Linney starrer The C Word, about a suburban mom whose cancer diagnosis gives her a different lease on life. While Gaby's career chugs along, occasionally shortsighted dickheads like Howard Stern continue to ponder her viability based on her plus-sized status. Now Hollywood, including Marlee Matlin on Twitter and Jessica Simpson are offering some words for Stern who said that based on her size, "She'll never have another movie."
These are Simpson's thoughtful musings directed at Howard, according to EOnline.
"I'm actually surprised somebody had the cojones to say that. I just think that's really disrespectful. It's unfortunate because she walked the red carpet at the Oscars and she owned it. She was beautiful. There was no denying that she did not think she was the most beautiful person on that red carpet. She was just owning that moment for herself. She had such confidence and I absolutely 100 percent think she could get anything in the world that she wants."

Our friends over at Autostraddle came up with a brilliant idea to help rally around Constance McMillen, the Mississippi-based student who's suing her school when the pinheads in charge decided to cancel prom rather than to allow her to take a girl as her date. There hasn't been this much ado about prom since Molly Ringwald was top of the box office in 1986, so Autostraddle is asking for your gay prom pics. Here's the link to submit your adorable photos!
And here's Autostraddle's rallying cry:
A Mississippi school would rather shut down prom than invite a cute lesbian couple. Well, that's nonsense! Let's get visible, lesbian/bisexuals/queers/etc. Autostraddle wants your cute same-sex prom/fancypants/homecoming photos. You could even win a prize! And if we get enough photos, we can spread this sucker like wildfire!
Here's Constance on sticking it to the small-minded administrators at Itawamba Agricultural High School.
Finally, for this edition of quickies, since happy hour is pretty much over everywhere but in Hawaii. Here's the marvelous Johnny Weir's respectable fuck you to the right wing Evangelical assholes - rather, to the forward thinking and brilliant minds - who run Stars on Ice, who rejected the beautiful swan from the tour earlier this week for not being "family friendly" enough.
GLAAD is all over that veiled slice of homophobia, but Johnny, being ever the lady, told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush:
It's for real. All because I am not family-friendly enough. I understand I am a little outrageous, but I wish I could perform for the fans."
Not to be deterred by those who lack vision Johnny continued saying, "Maybe right now, just artistically and creatively, I'd love to have my own show, with musical acts, like maybe getting Lady Gaga! I don't like to think there are any boundaries. Any time you get men in glitter, it's flamboyant!"
If Johnny could convince Gaga and Beyonce to do the lesbian prison road trip movie on ice, that kind of camp would sell stadiums!
And just a note to the good folks who run Stars on Ice:
Dear Stars on Ice,
Have you seen Stars on Ice?
