To Make a Long Story Short ... Marc's new non-Ugly boyfriend, gay plays for teens, and more!

  • Ugly Betty has found a boyfriend for Marc (Michael Urie), and his name is David Blue (above). Well, actually, his name is Cliff, but he's played by David Blue. Cliff is a photographer. David is an actor.
  • Here's a game in which you have to pick out which word doesn't fit in the list: American Idol ... homophobic ... "Christian songs with Christian principles" ... eggplant.
  • I'm pleasantly surprised to be linking to California Catholic Daily for their refreshingly neutral (and near-positive) story on gay-themed play The Other Side of the Closet, which tours schools in the state to teach a lesson of tolerance for (and celebration of) different lifestyles.
  • Since religion seems to be a hot topic today, here's an interesting piece on the rift over gay unions in black religious communities in and around Washington, DC.
  • Will Arnett will return to 30 Rock next season as the gay executive out for Jack's job, this time with a beard bride-to-be. I didn't find the first visit particularly funny (despite the quality Kenneth the Page time that came with it), but you never know.

I've only seen the first

I've only seen the first five episodes of Ugly Betty (hey, I'm Belgian, we have to wait for the good stuff :-)) and wahey! Glad to hear Marc gets a boyfriend.
I hope this means he'll be more of a "fleshed out" character than he is now (even though he's faaaabulous already)

Adorable!

I think he's cute and he and Marc will make an adorable couple. I just wonder how much focus their relationship is going to get. Any excuse to give Marc more screentime is fine with me.

Oh, and Patti LuPone. More Patti LuPone, please.
