This week's Ugly Betty is pivotal in setting up the second half of the season, with Betty moving forward at YETI, romantic upheavals at Mode, and a shocking (well, not so much) family emergency.

See all the details after the break!

In this steamy clip from French dramedy Clara Sheller, we learn that single J.P. has been spending a lot of time with one half of the hot neighbor couple, and he learns a valuable lesson about attempting to carry on a meaningful conversation with someone when you're both naked.

See all the action after the break!

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Out designer Zac Posen showed up at the Geoffrey Keene Fashion Scholarship Dinner last night, and tonight he'll also make an appearance on a brand new Ugly Betty. It takes a special man to pull off wearing a beret, but Zac rocks the hell out of it.

• Variety asked ten top industry people to name the best films of 2008, and out producer/director Paris Barclay chose that other Brad Pitt movie.

• Milk keeps racking up the awards and noms. Today it received a Directors Guild Award nomination for out Gus Van Sant. This bodes very well for Gus's chances when the Oscar nominations are announced on January 22nd.

• Above you can see Kathy Griffin being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel about the New Year's Eve "incident" with Anderson Cooper. She insists she didn't know her mic was on when she had some ... colorful ... comments for a few hecklers.

• Out rock legend Bob Mould is teaming up with author Michael Azzerad to write Bob's autobiography. In addition to leading the influential alt bands Husker Du and Sugar, Bob also spent time as a scriptwriter for World Championship Wrestling. Seriously.

• Gawker has a clip from yesterday's Oprah Winfrey Show in which the daytime diva looks fairly stunned when a minister tells a guest that being gay is "a gift from God".

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Out cutie Dan Gillespie Sells showed up at the London premiere of the new film Clubbed last night. Dan and his group The Feeling just ended their European tour, so hopefully they'll go back in the studio soon and give us more great pop music.

• Good news for fans of out funnyman Mario Cantone. The stage show Superstar may be headed to Broadway with Mario in the lead role. The show "is the ultimate interactive theatrical experience. Capitalizing on the cultural phenomenon of reality television talent contests, Superstar brings to life the story of six finalists in a heated talent competition." Sounds like Oh! American Idol with Mario in the Ryan Seacrest role.

• Production on the second season of HBO's True Blood begins this week and gay reporter sprite Michael Ausiello tried to wrangle a few spoilers from out creator Alan Ball. Unfortunately, all he could get was that the popular character of Lafayette might be back ... or might not, which is pretty much what actor Nelsan Ellis told us a few months ago.

• Above you can see a series of promos for Neil Patrick Harris's upcoming hosting duties on Saturday Night Live. I'm praying they'll find some way to work a Clara's Heart skit somewhere into the show.

• The nominees for the Writers Guild Awards were announced today and Milk received a nod for original screenplay for out writer Dustin Lance Black. I think of all the categories that the film may be nominated for at the Oscars, original screenplay may be its only shot at winning. Sorry! It's just a hunch!

The Prop 8 cult of lies and Sally Kern are just some of the barrel scrapers this year.

GLAAD has released their list of the worst anti-gay and anti-transgender voices of 2008, and it's a veritable smorgasbord orgasbord of idiotic statements and blatant lies and misinformation.

Join us after the break to see the offenders, and take our poll on who you think deserves the award for the absolute bottom of the barrel this year (or give us your own write-in candidate!)

Hot on the heels of surviving New Year's Eve with Kathy Griffin, CNN newsman Anderson Cooper showed up on The Daily Show last night to moderate the first (and last) "Road to the Doghouse - Puppedential Debate".

The Obama daughters are still looking for the perfect pup, and it's up to Anderson to weed out the mutts. Will he sniff out a winner? The shocking conclusion is guaranteed to leave you wagging your tail!

The premiere of the second half of the 5th season of Nip/Tuck aired on F/X last night, and after some trepidation, I decided to give it a go.

I haven't watched the series in a few years because, frankly, it had just become too silly and sour, and not even the occasional buttshot or Rosie O'Donnell guest appearance could draw me back. But I decided to approach it with a fresh attitude and give it the benefit of the doubt.

Would I regret it, or be pleasantly surprised? Find out after the break (but there are spoilers)!

Out Adam Shankman is one busy Hollywood bigwig, with his hit family comedy Bedtime Stories in theaters, and a couple of eclectic offerings in the works.

Now comes word that he's developing and producing a big screen remake of the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. It's been filmed twice before: in 1963, and a TV version in 1995. The question now is ... who should star?

Actually, the real question is "why does Hollywood keep cannibalizing itself?", but since it's going to happen whether we like it or not, join us after the break for some totally off-the-cuff (and -wall) casting suggestions!

Before Neil Patrick Harris was Doogie Howser M.D., another future out actor was cute moppett-ing up the airwaves as one of the stars of another 80's sitcom.

Danny Pintauro starred on Who's The Boss for eight seasons as the son of future gay icon Judith Light. He turns thirty-three today (thirty-three!), so join us after the break as we take a look at Danny's long show-biz career, starting when he co-starred with a drooling, rabid, hulking creature. (I know what you're thinking, but it's not Tony Danza!)

We've got two clips today to help satisfy your Forbidden Love appetite. First up is Christian going solo to a champagne breakfast, then we get an interview with Thore Schölermann and Jo Weil that leaves a lot to be desired.

See them both, and discuss after the break!
