Katee Sackhoff, Carey Mulligan, Kathryn Bigelow, Rachael Leigh Cook and Kristen Stewart lead this installment of the Hollywood Trade Roundup, a collection of hotties making headlines in The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety.

In endeavoring to nail down The 100 Greatest Lesbian Albums (Of All Time) we enlisted the help of lesbian friends, colleagues, musicians and entertainers spanning 6 decades in age and asked them to name the albums that provided the soundtrack to their lives as women. Here are numbers 75-51 including The Cranberries, Meg Christian, The Breeders, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Missy Higgins, The Dixie Chicks, Uh Huh Her, Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper and more...

It's the end of lesbian television as we know it with The L Word kicking off its final season, so kiss goodbye Jennifer Beals, Mia Kirshner, Kate Moennig and the gang. Meanwhile Leisha Hailey's about to do time in the big house.Oprah gushes over Kate Winslet Globes, Melissa George scrubs out of Grey's and Kara DioGuardio is one hot reason to tune into American Idol.

Angry gays and celebs like Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan and Ricki Lake take to the streets over Prop 8. Grey's goes straight but Eden Riegel and Tamara Braun engage in heavy snogging on All My Children, Kate Winslet as Catherine Deneuve, The L Word looks killer, Mandy Musgrave wows at POWER UP and Bridget McManus is legally off the market.

To herald that transitional time of year that is the end of summer and the beginning of the school year, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite school-themed TV shows, many of which feature lesbians, or at least strong female characters – whether they are the outcasts or the popular and/or mean girls. Update your Netflix queue to include a few of these queer-friendly favorite series that compliment the back to school spirit just right.

Back as a guest on Gossip Girl and Her Gay Ross von Metzke chats with Tracy about how she snubbed Charlize Theron at a gay rally, Kirstie Alley's weight --what else?-- Kathy Griffin in bed with avowed lesbian Lily Tomlin, Kate Winslet's waxed lady parts, Lindsay Lohan's umpteenth Twitter break from Samantha Ronson, cougars, Harry Potter's Hermione and a whole lot of other nonsense.

This week the pop culture saturated duo attempt to get esoteric with art house film references laced with hookers, adulters and Kim Cattrall. Then, Tracy is still in a lather about her perceived snub against that hotass figure skate Johnny Weir, while Evan Lysacek does a supposedly straight triple toe loop with his beard, Olympic gold medal gymnast Nastia Liuken.Yeah, we said it. Plus, Julie Benz and Dana Delany go lez on Desperate Housewives. And what is this bullshit that Betty White can host SNL, but only with a back up?

It's the year in lesbian gossip including plenty of The L Word, Ellen Degeneres' and Portia's wedding, Tina Fey's Palin Mania, South of Nowhere, Jodie Foster, Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson,  Wanda Sykes coming out, Ellen Page hugging woman with her legs, Sara Ramirez and Brooke Smith and more...

My hopes that the school’s hottest resident closet case Santana would come out dancing a slow groove with her true love Brittany to Kelly Clarkson’s “Because of You” were dashed in this week’s episode, which didn’t focus too much on Santana as a whole, but here’s my weekly Glee gay re-cap just the same. the glee club gals including Santana, Lauren, Brittany (Heather Morris) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) have enlisted their friend and fashionista Kurt (Chris Colfer) to help them pick the perfect prom dress.

True Blood's lesbian fans got a little something extra in the fourth season premiere with the arrival of Marnie the Wiccan, played by out actress Fiona Shaw, and with Sookie’s BFF Tara reappearing a changed woman as a cage fighter in love with her female opponent. Besides the general lesbian-ness of it all the sex scene between Tara (Rutina Wesley) and her girlfriend Naomi (Vedette Lim) rivaled the heat of any of Sookie’s best sex scenes with Bill and / or Eric.
