• Via JoeMyGod comes the above cover of Next Magazine, with the stars of Bear City reenacting a certain bloody Rolling Stone cover.

• Speaking of Rolling Stone, they're pissed that the Ugandan rag that published the "gay death list" is using their name, and calls it “one of the most vile and hateful anti-gay screeds we have ever read." They're demanding that the publication cease and desist.

• Below you can see a preview for next week's Top Chef: Diabetic Victims Unit which shows some tension in "Team Diva." Unfortunately, when I wished for Yigit covered in whip cream ... this is not what I had in mind.

• Sir Elton and Lady Gaga will, after all the speculation, be teaming up for a duet. "Hello, Hello,” will appear in the upcoming Disney animated film Gnomeo & Juliet.

• Russell Tovey's short film Roar is available as a free download from iTunes as part of a "Halloween Shorts" feature.

• Tim Gunn makes an appearance on next week's Gossip Girl, and below you can see a teaser with Taylor Momsen. Hey, isn't she the one who Tim ranted about a few months ago for being horrible and unprofessional?

• The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has set December 6 as the day it will hear arguments to determine the constitutionality of California's gay marriage ban.

• Below you can see Keith Olbermann's report on that inexplicable apology request from Virginia Thomas to Anita Hill, and then hear some ... other ... apology requests that Keith has found. The first one is of special interest.

• Finally, If you're not doing anything this Saturday (and you live in California), head over to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for the "Halloweenie" party. Proceeds will go to the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center.
