From the teaser photo, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, and Mark Salling of Glee all attended the Us Magazine Hot in Hollywood Party Wednesday night. Supposedly, our hottie Puck was attached at the hip to Audrina Patridge of The Hills fame. He's now contaminated fellows. Once Hazmat has The Hills Cooties removed, we'll let you know.

Speaking of Adam, he's done a pair of interviews in the last 24 hours. The first is total fluff about his music and his hair with Idolator, and is probably the kind of thing a young artist on the cusp of releasing his first album should be doing. The second, given to EW today, is all about that nasty letter from Aaron Hicklin in Out. Adam take it head on, gives some context, and checks Hicklin pretty hard. The crux? He's not a politician. Want to talk to him about sex, gay or straight? He's good. His relationships, current or over? That's cool. March on Washington that was happening that weekend? Not his area of expertise. 

Oprah is retiring from her daily talk show in 2011 after 25 years. She's hopeful with some belt tightening, her $2.3 billion will last her until she's old enough for Social Security. Or maybe she'll just start over on the television network she bought and go all Oprah, all day.

Cycler, a series of books about a girl who four days a month, turns into a boy, physically and mentally, has been optioned by AngryFilms, who's currently searching for a director and some money. One interesting aspect to the project is that the author, Lauren McLaughlin, has been soliciting input on how to cast it via her blog.

copyranter has some Kelloggs Frosted Flake ads out of Brazil that are just incredible, one for boys, and one for girls, about loving kids who don't fit perfect gender roles, like boys who play with dolls. They carry the slogan "The Important Thing Is To Be Healthy" I need to buy some Kelloggs products to say thanks, but I have a cabinet full of Frankenberry.

BoingBoing has a picture of Demi Moore from the cover of W Magazine that someone has taken a pound of flesh from. Heck, it may be five pounds to be honest, but it left her hip looking deformed from a bad Photoshop job. Not that gay men always have a healthy body image, but at least we manage it we a gym obsession, weird diets, and drug habits. You know, the natural way.

Mediaite has excerpted some lines from Roger Ebert's review of Twilight: New Moon. The nicest thing he said was "The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan. Never have teenagers been in greater need of a jump-start. Granted some of them are more than 100 years old, but still: their charisma is by Madame Tussaud." His full review is over at The Chicago Sun-Times, but be warned, he was in truly rare form.

Yet again Fox News has been caught rolling video of one event and claiming it was from another to advance an agenda. They already apologized for doing it once with Sean Hannity, who got busted by Jon Stewart. This time, it was from one of their actual "news" segments, not a "commentary" segment, about Sarah Palin's book signing.

The Window Media saga continues, first with The Washington Post making a plea for the Washington Blade's archives to be preserved for scholars. Then we get news that the Blade will relaunch, with a print and online edition, today, under the name DCAgenda, using the old Blade staff. And a last minute check shows they're up and running, though without the archives, a little thin.

Friending a stranger on Facebook can land you in jail. It seems some police departments are friending college students, looking at their photos, then arresting them for crimes they see in the photos, like underage drinking. Personally, I'd fight it in court, say it doesn't mean I swallowed. Wait - what I meant...

Will Ferrell is the most overpaid star in Hollywood, based on the money his films earn per dollar they pay him. Ewan McGregor, Eddie Murphy, Billy Bob Thornton, and Ice Cube also made the top ten. I'll be honest, I haven't seen a film with any of those guy in it in at least 5 years, so maybe they're hysterical, and it's all my fault.

In Sarah Palin news, Slate has published an index to her book, Going Rogue, which evidently didn't have one. The index, in and of itself, is pretty funny, since it highlights the page numbers of topics you're likely to care about. In other Sarah Palin news, we find out that not only did Levi Johnston not show any pickle in his photoshoot, he never intended to, which means all of gay America got played by a high school drop out hockey player. 

Britain's leading gay activist, or at least the only one I ever hear about, so maybe he's just the loudest gay activist, Peter Tachell, is badmouthing the BBC for putting Alan Carr and Graham Norton on the air, saying they're too camp. Is he angling for a job at Newsweek or something?

In more news out of Europe, Germany is enacting the gay version of The Spy Who Loved Me, in real life, accusing one of their intelligence officers of leaking secret information to his gay lover. This being the continent, they're not upset he has a gay lover, just that he "accidentally" left his top secret laptop on for his boyfriend to see.

I'm not an expert on documentary filmmaking, so correct me if I'm wrong, but there's only one gay film on this shortlist from the Academy for Oscar consideration. Valentino The Last Emperor about the legendary fashion designer made the list. Any others I'm missing?

Moldova seems to have swine flu confused with vampires, because they're issuing their army onions and garlic to protect them from the H1N1 virus. It might actually be a good national defense strategy, because there's not way I'm charging a group of men with a diet like that.

In the continuing effort to rape and pillage my childhood, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are reprising their roles as the Griswolds from the National Lampoon's Vacation movies - but not to make us laugh, just to sell us vacations during the Superbowl.

In an effort to make me never go to a theater and just unpack my home theater and watch movies in my underwear, there's a new study out telling us how insanely unhealthy popcorn, soda, and candy are. Supposedly they tested popcorn from the major chains, but the popcorn at my local multiplex is so dry I quit eating it years ago.

I'm conflicted on this piece, because it makes me happy to read a story that's features pedophiles that doesn't confuse them with gay men, but it makes me sad that they've had to end the letter from Santa program in the Alaskan town of North Pole because of fears of child safety. I've decided to rate it as a net positive, because when you combine Santa, correct information on pedophilia, and focusing Christmas around Santa Claus, hundreds of social values fundamentalist's heads exploded.

io9.com has rounded up the 30 Most Disturbing Twilight Products to give us all nightmares. The one that bugs me most? The cook book. We're talking vampires and werewolves, who generally dine on humans, and I don't know what seasoning goes best with me.

Just go and look at these pictures of the art from Mike Stilkey, who stacks books in unique ways and then paints beautiful pictures on them, combining his work with the covers with the sculptural aspect of the stack. 

Warner has a really cool program where you can upgrade your DVDs to BluRay for as little as $7.95/disc, which beats the devil out of buying a fresh copy at full price.

There's a movie out in Europe called House of Numbers pressing the idea that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, and it has a lot of people up in arms about not just the pseudo science, and the danger of the message, but that the doctors cited in the movie were deceived into saying what they said on camera.

We live in the future. The military has two active laser projects that made news this week, with the first being the MATRIX System, which is a ground laser that shot a drone aircraft out of the sky. They also released a contract for a much higher-power liquid laser that they can put on aircraft to shoot things down with. If those aliens don't attack soon, we might have the technology to fight them off!

From the mothership, we've got a hi-res version of the triptych (possibility: I may have included this whole piece because excuses to use the word "triptych" in a sentence are rare) of the Alice in Wonderland posters, and they reveal...a caterpillar, which is evidently new. The caterpillar is being played by Alan Rickman, who no doubt feels it to be the high point of his career, playing a worm.

From the mothership, MTV sat down with Taylor Lautner of Twilight: New Moon and had the guts to ask the question that's been on my mind since Conan cleared up the dominance thing in the Wolfpack: Why aren't the wolves naked when they transform back to human, since CGI took the time to show their pants shredding rather than just some magic absorption thing?

For your musical interlude, I'm going to go with 3Oh!3 featuring Katy Perry, singing "Starstrukk" for no real reason other than I've been fascinated to discover I really like this album when it is completely different than anything I'd ever listen to. Also, the dudes are really, really hot. Eyes on the one just pop.

This is an oldie, but a goodie, with all the cartoon characters and superheroes discovering their costumes make them look gay. There's one bad word right in the middle that might make it NSFW, since evidently Batman has a potty mouth. You've been warned.

Finally, I'm going double dose you from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report last night. Jon takes on the Poopy Head (yeah, I'm afraid that's going to be a running bit) who got fired from Brookstone for objecting to his supervisor discussing her upcoming marriage to her female partner. He then moves on the the 10-year old and the Pledge of Allegiance. Oh, heck, the whole second segment is a gay potpourri, of pro wrestlers, boas, and flaming backgrounds.
