Your Monday Morning "Everything Bagel!"

Enjoy this tasty treat designed help to stall the inevitable soul crushingness that is known as the start of the work week. Savor it because as soon as you're done, it begins...

Well at least she won't be late for work.

• Let's kick things off with great news. The city of Houston has now become the largest U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor, as Annise Parker won Saturday's election with 53% of the vote. Below you can see the Mayor Elect talking about the anti-gay rhetoric and conservative smears that went on in the last stage of the campaign.

• In even more great news, murder-music Grammy nominee Buju Banton is currently sitting in a federal lockup in Miami, charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilos of cocaine. Because I'm a nice person, I will charitably say no more. Except this ... MWA-HA-HA CHORTLE CHORTLE GUFFAW!

Out Mark Feehily performs a duet with Donna Summer at the rehearsals for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert

• In news that can only be described as "inevitable", Adam Lambert may have been banished from ABC's New Year's festivities, but he'll be rockin' another New Year's party.

• Below you can see Tom Ford interviewed by Tina Brown about the skepticism he encountered in trying to bring A Single Man to the screen.

• Below you can play around with a very cool interactive map from Muckety.com that links up the world of Broadway and Glee.

• Last week we mentioned that gay superhero Northstar would be getting a boyfriend in an upcoming issue of Nation X, and now the first few preview pages have been released.

• You have to give certified nutjob Scott Lively some credit for sticking to his convictions about the Uganda anti-gay bill. "It does not emphasize rehabilitation over punishment and the punishment that it calls for is unacceptably harsh. However, if the offending sections were sufficiently modified, the proposed law would represent an encouraging step in the right direction." What a compassionate "Christian".

• DaytimeConfidential.com has an interview with Nick Rodriguez about his bashing storyline on One Life To Live and what it was like moving from Broadway to the soap world.

Ben Rakestrow

• Above you can see Ben Rakestrow, a British soldier serving in Afghanistan, who came out to his fellow soldiers a year ago, and whose story should be required reading for anyone still supporting DADT.

Who do you think rocked it?

• Advocate.com has an interesting piece about trans actress Candis Cayne and how she may have been screwed over by Star magazine's photoshop.

• Finally, there's just one day left to enter a bid for the most awesome item ever auctioned off. Not only do you get a guided tour of the One Life to Live studio with Scott Evans and Brett Claywell, but the proceeds go to the True Colors Fund. (t/y to reader ichorous for the tip)

• And here is your sports pics of the week!
