There's a new nice lesbian in daytime talk (and given Rosie's courtroom showing this fall, not a moment too soon). DeGeneres' dry humor and affable-but-not-obsequious style are perfect for her morning chat slot, as is her naturally chummy casualness: You half expect her to plop down on the couch next to you, put her feet up and grab the remote. Welcome, and stay a while. (Syndicated)
Epic times call for epic art, and nothing moved us more than The Return of the King. Other things we loved: Louis Vuitton, William Boyd and BBC's The Office And to the Atlanta group OutKast, we say "Stank you very much!"
