Actor Holly Robinson Peete, best known for her starring roles in 21 Jump Street alongside Johnny Depp, and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, has caught the ire of some activists for a tongue-in-cheek reference to her alma mater's all-female lacrosse team on ESPN earlier this week.

CBS’s The Talk, featuring co-hosts Sara Gilbert, Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini has been picked up for a second season. The show differs from The View in that the overall focus is on issues facing moms and families. Host Gilbert represents a lesbian voice on the panel as she and her partner Allison Adler are moms to two children.

Out lesbian author and comedian Carol Leifer and gay favorite musician Cindy Lauper will be among the all-star celebrity cast for the third season of The Celebrity Apprentice premiering March 14. The ladies include Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Maria Kanellis, and Summer Sanders.

Adam Lambert, Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart, Kat Von D, Renee Zellweger, Jane Lynch, Wilson Cruz, Cherie Currie, Jill Bennett, Cathy Debouno, Amber Heard, Sarah Silverman, Dreya Weber, Meredith Scott Lynn, Doris Roberts, Jane Valez-Mitchell, Jai Rodriguez, Holly Robinson Peete, Mink Stole, Traci Dinwiddie, Jane Wiedlin, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, Gloria Allred, Sweet Baby J'ai, Michele Balan, Bruce Vilanch, Andrea Meyerson and Momma.

Iconic 80's pop star Cyndi Lauper has taken her gay and lesbian advocacy to the hit show "Celebrity Apprentice." The Grammy-winning singer debuted on NBC Sunday night with her LGBT charity, The True Colors Fund. The contestants on Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" 2010 are Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Maria Kanellis, Carol Leifer Summer Sanders, Darryl Strawberry, Bret Michaels, Bill Goldberg, Michael Johnson, Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad, and Curtis Stone.

With so much information coming at us on the Internet it's tough to keep up with all of the mostly meaningless but guilty pleasure type of info out there – and some of it is meaningful. Either way, here's a smattering of pop culture from around the web! Today's tidbits include Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Rachel Dratch, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Maya Rudolph, The Real L Word, Pink, Constance McMillen, Burlesque with Cher and Christina Aguilera, Julie Taymor's Tempest with Helen Mirren, The Talk with Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osborne, Hairspray’s Marisa Jaret Winokour, Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini, and a Flaunt photo shoot with Ana Kendrick.

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.

CBS daytime talk show The Talk was renewed for a third season, the network announced Thursday, with everyone staying on board, including the show's lesbian cohost Sara Gilbert.

We adore CSI’s Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), Law and Order: SVU’s Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), and Prime Suspect’s Jane (both Maria Bello and Helen Mirren for the U.S. and U.K. versions respectively). But there are a few female cops of bygone eras (and one new hotshot we had to include) that deserve our props, too.
