BTW, I want everyone to know I take my role as a journalist very seriously. Unfortunately, I've only been able to track down one of the pic's from Kevin's original spread. In order to be fully informed on this important topic, I urge my readers to email me the rest of Kevin's photos pronto! I'll give everyone a full report next week.

I swear--the things I do for you people!

AND I HEAR THE GAFFER'S SECOND COUSIN ONCE HAD A SAME-SEX EXPERIENCE
The Daily News Front Page has a little gossip item this week revealing that Anne Hathaway's older brother Mike is gay. Experts have not yet weighed in on how this is likely to affect Brokeback Mountain's Oscar chances. The Advocate, however, has an
in-depth piece on how Mike's homosexuality influenced Anne's portrayal of Lureen, as well as Ang Lee's direction of the movie.

Speaking of Brokeback, it's steadily edging toward the $70 million mark, but it seems to be losing steam. That magic $100 million mark no longer seems like such a sure thing. Frankly, I'm just really glad that Crash isn't still in theaters and getting press. There is
still talk, however, of Crash pulling off an upset along the lines of Shakespeare in Love's surprise win over Saving Private Ryan back in '98. Gulp.

England's version of the Oscars—the BAFTA's—are on Sunday night. Brokeback has nine nominations and is favored to win Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. By the way, I'm hoping to receive a special BAFTA award as best Brokeback Mountain fan, especially if Jake Gyllenhaal presents it to me.

Incidentally, it's probably no surprise that Jake's top-grossing flick is The Day After Tomorrow, but Brokeback has now topped Jarhead as Jake's second most profitable movie to date. As for Heath news, he appeared on Ellen this week and was as adorable as ever, managing to come off as utterly unpretentious. And Ellen does a pretty funny impersonation of Ennis as well. Check out the video over at Dave Cullen's Ultimate Brokeback.

NOT HAPPY WITH HOW BROKEBACK ENDED? THEN GIVE JACK AND ENNIS A
HAPPY ENDING!
Some clever fellow whipped up some Jack and Ennis Sims for you computer game fans. Now you can make Jack and Ennis herd sheep, eat beans, and, um, do other things to stay warm on cold nights. No word if there are Alma and Lureen Sims who can resent
Jack and Ennis for not loving them. Just between you and me, the Sims creep me out a little. There's something zombie-like and soul-less about them. In short, they remind me
of Dick Cheney.

I got a chance to see Brokeback again last night and it really drove home how PO'd I am at the lies the right has spread about the movie. Foremost is the idea that the movie—and gay men—don't care a whit about the emotional devastation suffered by Alma and Lureen. The movie made it abundantly clear how much they are hurt, and my heart broke for them. The truth is that it's the wingnuts who are cold and heartless, as they go on and on about the straight women, but don't give a damn about Jack and Ennis' suffering.
