Kylie Minogue arrives for a BBC Radio interview in London

• The Today Show's latest wedding contest is open to all couples ... as long as they can legally wed in New York. Sorry, gays!

• A couple of weeks ago we told you that Australian comedians Tom Ballard and Josh Thomas had announced their breakup via Twitter, and now Tom has penned an article about how he's handled the end of his first serious relationship. Someone needs a hug. Or a shag.

• Below you can see Sam Trammel somehow survive an interview with Chelsea Handler. They discuss not knowing much about the gulf oil spill, and Sam's "little gay love sequence" with Stephen Moyer on True Blood. I like Sam, but I could've done without hearing the "light in my loafers" quip and the "let's make the stand-ins squirm" story.

• The Kids Are All Right has been getting rave reviews, and now Focus Features wants to know what your definition of "family" is. You can send in a video or pic or essay, and the website will post the entries.

• Liza Minnelli premiered The Liza Collection on HSN the other night. Unfortunately, it didn't include any Cabaret outfits.

• A musical adaptation of the unintentionally hilarious (at least for me) Oscar-winning mega-smash 90's movie Ghost is rumored to be in the works in England. The mind boggles. And who will they get to play those little squiggly black demons from the movie that pull people down to hell?

• Below you can see Stephen Colbert take on Dawn dish soap, Spaghetti-O's, and the Texas GOP Platform's definition of "sodomy."
