A few weeks ago, we told you about Charlize Theron’s selfless act of a kissing a woman for $140,000 donated to charity. She’s a regular Mother Teresa.

http://www.afterellen.com/blog/trishbendix/cherry-bomb-video-blog-season-3-episode-15

This week, the ladies of Cherry Bomb welcome their friend and producer/director Mel Robertson to the couches to talk about the pitfalls and positives of dating someone who's still in the closet. Mel lets us in on the details for her upcoming film, Queens of the World, a coming of age, lesbian love story within the world of women’s professional soccer.

We've all heard offensive jokes, and some of us may have told jokes we thought were harmless but wound up receiving an "I don't think that's funny."

This week, Daniel confers with vlog star Joy Nash about gay jokes. Deciding what jokes pass inspection is no laughing matter. Well, actually, it is.

Check it out after the break!

After a self-promotion campaign that involved everything from waiting on hold at Harpo in front of a live studio audience to sending Justin Timberlake on an emissary mission, Ellen DeGeneres' quest to share the cover of O Magazine with Oprah has finally come to fruition. And Monday, The Oprah Winfrey Show is having

Oliver Fish nabs the crown again, garnering 38% of the vote for his fiery coming-out declaration in front of protesters and cameras on One Life to Live.

In second place is his paramour Kyle Lewis, who earned 29% for making his own declaration ... of love.

Trailing in third is Sam and Dan from The Amazing Race, who wore clingy long underwear and won the week's race, but could only manage 17% in the face of the Kish juggernaut.

Right behind them with 16% was Modern Family's Mitchell, who proved he still has all the right moves.

Congrats to Oliver, who's getting quite accustomed to wearing the crown. Come back next Thursday to see if he's nominated again, or if four new contenders will vie for the top spot.

http://www.afterellen.com/blog/trishbendix/law-and-order-utilizes-the-letterman-scandal-for-a-lesbian-storyline

Law & Order is famous for ripping its storylines from headlines, so no celebrity is safe. The show is now casting for an episode based on the recent David Letterman scandal, in which he publicly announced that he had relationships with several women working on his show and was being blackmailed by one of the women's new boyfriend.

But this is the intriguing part: The show is going to make the TV host character female, so it'll be a lesbian-based plot. Also, the faux show will be more like The View than a late night talk program, which can only make things more interesting. Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg is available?

E! News reports that the female host (named Vanessa Carville) will be a "well-known celebrity talk-show host, married with children" that has had “a series of short-lived affairs with some of the employees on the show and up until now has managed to keep them off the radar.”

"Will they or won't they" ... show up in this episode? We've been hearing conflicting rumors that our guys may make an appearance, so let's cross our fingers. If they don't, well hopefully someone else will fly out a window or one of the hunks will throw us a bone with a towel scene.

Join us for the fun and refresh for updates.

http://www.afterellen.com/blog/drummerdeeds/a-dallas-cowboys-cheerleader-does-blackface

Halloween is my favorite holiday of all the holidays-turned-consumerism fest in America, as it allows me to get into a ridiculous character and eat free candy. However, it’s also the worst holiday ever, because many Americans feel that it’s a day off of being decent, tactful human beings.

Walk around any college campus and you’ll see every stereotype: men ridiculing drag queens and it be socially acceptable, people squinting their eyes to appear Asian and crowd after crowd of crass costumes.

Nothing makes me madder, though, than when people do blackface aka painting their faces a dark brown color to resemble African-Americans. Enter Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Whitney Isleib, who committed the cultural crime by donning blackface for her costume of soon-to-be incarcerated Lil Wayne.

The pictures of the cheerleader were tagged on Facebook, leaked first to Deadspin and then all over the internet.

Thanksgiving in the U.S. is still two weeks away which means Christmas is still, well, a long long way off, but I've still got a little something to get you in the Holiday spirit! It's a music video from the upcoming release of Make the Yuletide Gay starring Adamo Ruggiero which comes out on DVD next Tuesday.

The song is called "Gloria" and was written and performed by Jake Monaco and Jen Hansen and . It's actually quite catchy and I daresay us 'mos might just now have a Holiday song to call our own!

http://www.afterellen.com/blog/dorothysnarker/winona-rider-opens-up-to-blackbook

If you lived through the late '80s, it’s hard not to have a soft spot for Winona Ryder. Little Noni with her pixie haircut and her big eyes, her pale skin and her goth before goth was even a thing sensibilities. Ten years have passed since her last big splash in the movies with Girl, Interrupted. Since then she has still worked steadily, though often in smaller roles and less high-profile pieces. And she has kept largely to herself and often shunned the spotlight.

So it was great to read her take on her own life now in the new BlackBook interview to promote her upcoming film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. For a person who doesn’t give interviews all that often, she sure gives great copy.

On why her career has slowed:

This weekend's gay TV highlight is the debut of Wanda Skyes' new late night talk show. Will Wanda be able to do for late night what Ellen accomplished in daytime?
